I'm petite and love wearing floaty and loose clothing in the summer. How can I make it look sexy and stylish without looking like I am drowning in fabric?

Katherine Vong from Nygård helped us out with this one. Here's what she had to say:

"The key to wearing volume is balance. Rather than wearing loose and billowing styles from head-to-toe, choose only one and opt for slim-fitting pieces to finish the look. For instance, pair a floaty blouse with slim jeans, or swishy, wide leg pants with a fitted tank top. You can also use belts to reign in and control volume. Cinch one around your waist when wearing a loose dress, tunic or blouse. Fitted shorts and crop pants, like those from Bianca Nygård, are also great for balancing volume on top."
