- Deep, slim V-necks with just a hint of cleavage.
- Scooped necklines with low-hung jewelry.
- Tunics that fall over the hips with detail on the bottom half or central line.
- Tailored jackets with slim lapels and a single button that flare slightly at the waist.
- Wrap-over dresses with deep V-neck.
- Low-hung chunky belts that rest on the hips.
- Fuller skirts.
- Wide-leg or boot-cut dark denim jeans.
