Calling all curvy Shape S beauties out there: which one of these outfits is currently lingering in your closet? A fitted jersey wrap dress and some peep-toe heels? A curve-hugging pencil skirt and a menswear-inspired button-down? A go-to patterned A-line skirt and a scoopneck shell? These are de rigueur basics for an hourglass shape, but while they may be super chic, a steady diet of chic classics can get pretty boring. Be adventurous! After all, you’ve got the body that lots of people covet, so flaunt it. Isn’t it time to show off your curves in pants? A great-fitting pair of pants can be as seductive as anything cut on the bias.

For Shape S the goal is to always bring attention to your waist. You have a relatively tiny one, so show it off. Pants such as Eileen Fisher’s Organic Linen Pants have a straighter leg allowing the waist to be cinched in so the fabric drapes away from the widest part of your body, the hips; this creates a little bit of curvaceous camouflage. When shopping, remember that your pants should have a “clean front”—that means no distractions from your wonderful waistline, no extra details like buttons, pockets and the like. Tops that cling but don’t look too tight complete your great look. Rafaella’s Silky Cotton Tie-Front Blouse will highlight the waist and compliment the bustline—it’s a double-duty figure flatterer for Shape S. V-necks elongate your neck and your overall look, and the simple tie adds a nice twist. For the office toss on a simple cropped jacket or sweater. Dashing to meet friends after 6? Trade the jacket for a shawl and gold flats.

Remember, pants did wonders for Shape S Marilyn Monroe—she turned blue jeans into a feminine classic, you know. So go ahead! Put on a pair of pants and watch yourself become a star in your own right.
