I'm 5'6" and very slim with a good figure, but I have a long torso. I find when I wear low-rider pants, certain outfits make my waist look longer. What are some good rules to follow to avoid this?

One of the keys to good style is finding the clothes that suit your body best. For advice on your shape, I chatted with Veronica Auyeung at Toronto boutique Over The Rainbow. She says: "This is a problem that most women face, myself included. I find that because jeans are so low still that women with long torsos look even more elongated and unproportioned. To avoid this, you can try wearing longer tops. Avoid anything cropped or with vertical stripes!! Layering can also be an asset -- there are plenty of tunic-style T-shirts and tops out there today that are great for layering."
