The Ultra-Flattering Outfit That Every Celebrity Wears
As fashion editors, we study what celebrities are wearing every day, and one thing that we're constantly on the lookout for is flattering outfits for all body types. Good news—our search has proven itself fruitful. There's one particular look that we consistently see celebs of all shapes and sizes wear, and it's insanely easy to re-create, repeat, and dress up or down depending on your footwear and accessories. The ultra-versatile outfit we're referring to consists of a top tucked into a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans. It pairs well with any shoe style, but we (and many A-listers) prefer a pair of heels or pointed-toe ankle boots for the most leg-lengthening effect.
While some celebs choose to wear a blousy top tucked into their jeans, most opt for something slim to continue the long, lean line from head to toe. (Just bear in mind that your top should be long enough to stay tucked so that you don't have to worry about it all day.) With this simple, polished outfit formula, your waist will be highlighted and you'll look taller—both of which help to achieve a slimmer silhouette.
