Because of my specific problem areas, being a bottom-heavy gal, I try to buy tops and blouses that pull attention away from my hips and up to my chest. Most likely that’s why I’m so drawn to this Pleated Layered-Look Tunic.

From first glance the combination of the inverted pleats and empire waist creates the silhouette of an hourglass, which is a useful trick to make you look slimmer. Inverted pleats connect at the center of the empire waist, creating lovely texture and a draping effect that hides your midsection. The plunging neckline is sensual, but a tad too low for casual wear. Luckily the white inset keeps the tunic modest and creates a fashionable layered look. Long, scrunchable sleeves make this tunic ready for winter. The hemline has a peculiar look that makes the bottom of the tunic kind of baggy. Choosing a darker color should minimize this element.

As far as color goes, you have plenty of options. For those who want an all-around slimming effect, choose one of the darker colors, such as Purple, Black, Chocolate, or Dark Emerald. Some buyers may be looking for vibrant colors to highlight their upper body. Raspberry and Dark Turquoise are brilliant shades that are packed with excitement. Classic Red is also a bolder color that’s invigorating to the eye.

Even those who are on a tight budget for the holidays should be able to afford this tunic at $16.99-21.99.
