I LOVE THE WEDGIE, BUT IT LEAVES A WEIRD SPACE IN THE BACK AT MY WAIST. HOW DO I DITCH THE GAP?


“Whenever I buy Wedgies, I make sure to go down a size. They stretch out, so it’s important they’re almost too tight at first try-on. I usually style them with a cropped top to highlight the smallest part of my figure. I love oversized clothing, but cropping even an oversized sweatshirt gives you that desirable hourglass shape.” – Amber Talley, Global Styling

BONUS TIPS FROM AROUND THE "OFFICE"

(QUOTES BECAUSE, 2020)

BELT UP


No tailors. No waits. Belting is the easiest, quickest way to close the gap between the waist of your jeans and the small of your back. Neutrals like black and brown work with any look. Or go for extra and use this belted moment to make a statement. Something we’re playing a lot with this season is the DIY shoelace belt which creates the perfect paper-bag cinched waist. Whichever way you go, a belt adds style and function to any outfit.
