Shape P Style Tip: Rock the Boat
The cooler months can be hard for Ps. Let’s be honest: when it’s warm out, there isn’t a V-neck maxi dress, tank or tee without your name on it. But how does one cover up while still maintaining a hint of playfulness? Try a boatneck.
BCBG Max Azria’s Kimono-Style Tunic Top takes the cut of a traditional boatneck and turns it on its bow. The straightness of the neckline widens shoulders to equalize your proportions. When the bustline and shoulders are aligned, the focus is diverted from the chest. The pale coloration with that bold stripe of black at the neck draws attention up instead of down, while a hint of ruching makes the silhouette slightly slimmer and adds visual interest. Cascades of the sleeve hit right at the waistline to create a more balanced shape, highlighting curves and creating proportion all at once.
Maximizing the shoulders accentuates the upper body while creating a little cleavage control. Now that summer has passed, there are new ways to flaunt your beautiful shape without letting it overwhelm you.
