If you've got it, flaunt it

Want to make the most of your figure? Who doesn't! By using your wardrobe to highlight your best assets, you direct people's attention to what you like best. Here's seven great ideas for all your favourite parts:

Great shoulders
Most of us have great shoulders. You can emphasize this sexy feature for night with a halter top neckline or wide-set straps. For a more office-appropriate option, try a sleeveless top.

Nice legs
Show off great legs in a short-hemmed skirt. But stay away from a hemline that's more than three inches above your knee or you'll look more teen cheeky than sophisticated-chic. Not a fan of short skirts? Stick to body-hugging pencil skirts that just skim your knee. Heels add to the affect—whether they're a one-inch kitten or towering stiletto—they add instant length and flatter calf muscles. If heels aren't practical enough for your activities, try natural-coloured flats.

Beautiful back
Reveal a toned torso in a back-baring evening dress that features either cut-out shapes, criss-crossing straps or a plunging neckline. For day, look for a halter or tank style top that reaches just below your shoulder blades. Tip: Your back ages more gracefully than your cleavage and can be a more mysterious and sophisticated option.

Delicate décolleté or neck
Highlight a sexy neck with a V-neckline. Whether it's a conservative sweater for work or a plunging V for a night on the town, you'll look sexy and sophisticated. Other flattering necklines include heart-shape or portrait (square). To further draw attention, accessorize with a big, bold necklace.

Fantastic feet
Emphasize terrific tootsies with a fresh pedicure in one of summer's bright nail shades. Once your nails are aglow, be sure to expose them in open-toe pumps or strappy heels for after-hours.

Timeless hourglass figure
Voluptuous ladies should definitely sport summer's belted and feminine silhouettes inspired by the fifties—whether it's a belted shirtdress or full circle skirt and fitted top.

Radiant skin
Get glowing skin by wearing a bright shade near your face. From soft pastels to bright bubblegum hues, colourful clothes reflect a warm rosy glow on any complexion.
