The most important thing to remember with your Chala body is to emphasize your waist to show off your proportions! Find a collarless blouse that has structure, definition or visual appeal like the one above to make the most of this look!

1. Chalas look great in fitted pencil skirts. Pull in some visual drama with a colored skirt & add a statement belt to be sure there is plenty of definition given to your waist. If you are shorter, keep your hemline at the knee, the exposed skin on the lower legs helps you look taller.
2. Chalas can pull off almost any pant style, including a print. To keep this funky trend flowing downward we capped it with a bold shoe for a great color pop!
3. When going casual with a blouse keep it simple, too many accessories will take away from the casual feel. Keep your hemline longer to add more height to your look & try on a bold, colorful pair of heels to round out this look while keeping its lower key style. 
4. Pair your blouse with a funky printed skirt. Try tucking the blouse in & layering on a solid belt to give your waist the attention it deserves without competing with skirt. Chalas can pull of an A-line look as long as the skirt has enough volume to keep your proportions balanced.

The most important thing to remember with your Suza body is to create the illusion of a smaller waist and show off your lean arms & legs! Find a collarless blouse that  wraps, has front/side ruching, or front knot detailing like the one above to make the most of this look!

1. To get a great casual look, Suzas should choose a jean that hits lower on the hip and ensure that the blouse hits at least 2-3 inches lower. Keep your hemline longer and pair it with a pair of bold shoes to help highlight your lean legs and give the illusion of more height! 
2. Suzas are known for having great legs, so try out a funky mini skirt that hits mid thigh and pair with funky heels to match for a great, super trendy look.
3. Go sparkly! Fine some shinny or sparkly tights! Not only will this show off your great gams but it the boldness will give your bottom half more proportion.
4. Suzas can easily pull off adding a skirt with texture and color to balance out the lower half beautifully and nude heels help to elongate and show off her already fabulous legs! Keep your hemline in check around or above the knee.

The most important thing to remember with your Lola body is to create balance between the upper half and the leaner lower half without loosing your waist in the mix! Find a collarless blouse that has slight ruffles, a neck tie, or lace like the one above to give your whole look more feminine appeal!

1. Lolas have leaner hips and great legs!Show them off in a funky way by pairing your blouse with a printed tight or pant. Pair it with a great heel & there is no stopping you!
2. Lolas, show off those great legs! Pair up your blouse with a mini that has volume, bold print or lots of sparkle for a nice lower half balance. Strap on some heels to really amp up your exposed legs and you are set!
3. Lolas are one of only 2 body types I would ever recommend ultra wide leg pants for. Their naturally fuller upper body is able to support and control the volume they add to your bottom half. Make sure to keep your waist well defined and you will be sporting a curvy, sexy silhouette in no time!
4. While Lolas look great in skinnies, pairing a blouse with a boot cut jean is a great way to give balance to the lower body in a subtle way. The slight flare in the leg draws the eyes down and creates volume. Ground this look with bold heels!

The most important thing to remember with your Jozie body is to create balance between your naturally fuller lower half and the leaner upper portions and really accentuate your little waist. Find a collarless blouse in a lighter shade that have wide cuffs, fuller sleeves, ruffles, zippers, embellishment, rushing or vertical seaming detail like the one above. This all helps to draw the eye upward and make you look balanced.

1. Jozies can wear stripes on the bottom! Look for thinner vertical stripes or a mix of diagonal & vertical to will really accentuate the lower curves but not broaden them. The pleats in the shoulders of the blouse above give Jozie's the upper body fullness to balance a pencil skirt! Make sure to keep your hemline in check around your knees if you are shorter. More skin means you look taller.
2. Jozies look best in straighter legged jeans but don't feel you are limited to that style. Let your jean hem go longer than normal and pair it with a high heel to further lean out hips and thighs. 
3. Jozies look super cute in Bermuda styled shorts that cut straight down from the hip and hit a few inches above the knees. Pair them with a great wedge & watch how fabulous your legs look!
4. A line skirts are a Jozie's best friend. They accentuate your small waist and have that flare that skims over your extra bits to create a beautiful, class look.

The most important thing to remember with your Tawnie body is to create curves without overpowering your smaller frame. Find a collarless blouse that is asymmetrical like the one above.This is your “best cut”! It creates a clean line of sight elongating your petite frame and accentuating your best assets!

1. Tawnies look great in skinny pencil skirts. They hug your body & give you instant curves! Paired with a nude high heel, you will look like you have gorgeous long legs!
2. Tawnies have a body make for skinnies. Paired with more voluminous top, you look great in a pair of skinnes that are bold & playful. Make sure you keep prints to the first rule, if its bigger than your fist, its too big for your body!
3. Take your blouse casual with some class denim. Let your hemline skim just above the ground & pair up with some great, pointed heels for a long, casual chic look!
4. For a totally funky fun look, try adding a sequined mini! Let your hemline hit at the broadest part of your thigh for balance on this heavier look.

The most important thing to remember with your Tawnie body is to keep the balance between your upper & lower curves while showing off your small waist! Find a collarless blouse that is well fitted in the shoulders and structured all the way down. Lighter fabrics will gently glide over your curves and accentuate them without adding bulk like the one above. The overlap of the sheer black button panel helps the create a long front line that will draw attention to your waist!

1. Mozzas look great structured button down blouses with a bold bottom. If your blouse isn't structured at the waist add a belt at your natural waist to cinch in and leave a couple of buttons at the top & bottom open. This creates a double v effect and will subtly give your curves a compliment. Pair up with some tall heels to elongate your bottom half. 
2. Mozzas can wear a printed bottom. Make sure the print isn't too busy and has more vertical or horizontal patterns so it compliments your curves rather than broadening them. Keep your hemline right above the knee so your legs aren't overtaken and are elongated. 
3. For a great casual look, pair up your blouse with a pair of straight legged jeans. Look for a pair with a bit of stretch that will hug your curves without constricting you. Let your hem almost grave the ground and team up with heels for a longer look. 
4. Mozzas look amazing in figure hugging pencil skirts. Make sure your skirts hit close to your natural waist to avoid  creating a false, wide waist line at the hip line  If your skirt doesn't start that high, pair it with a belt to make sure you keep the right definition in the appropriate spots!

Mozza Style Guide

Our fashion expert’s tips to flatter your Younique Mozza Body! 
Remember these are only guidelines- fashion is all about fun and feeling your best! So if you feel good in it, don’t be afraid to rock it!

Your body challenge: Balancing your curvy hips and bust

Parts you want to accentuate: Your small waist

Tops

• Wear belts. Belted dresses and other outfits with belts can help draw attention to your lovely waist. Bright colors draw the eye, so you can make good use of distinctive, noticeable belts. 
• Choose tops with open necks, V-necks and other low necklines to give length to your throat and upper body and draw attention to your face. 
• You can sport the leggings look with an A-line dress or tunic top because this look is about the top and not the leggings 
• The length of your tops should either catch you just below your hipbone (a few inches above crotch point), or past the thigh area. 
• It’s imperative that anything that you wear on top fits properly on the shoulders because the eye is drawn to definition. 
• Belted tunic button down shirts look incredible so be sure to give that look a go. 

Dresses

• Mozzas were made for dresses. Wear them as often as you can! 
• Try wearing dresses with clearly defined, fitted waistlines. 
• Wear wrap dresses. They'll make the most of your slender waist. 
• Try strapless dresses that has a nice waistline. 
• Rock a 50’s fit-and-flare frock. 
• Figure hugging sheath dresses and waist defining shirt dresses love a Mozza body 

Bottoms

• Try A-line skirts to flatter your hips 
• Flat-front, mid-rise, wide waist-band, boot-cut or jeans are the obvious flattering choice for a Mozza. Look for a skimming fit (a fit that skims over the contour of your body), and adjust the waistband as needed. 
• When you can, opt for bottoms with a bit of stretch for extra comfort around your full bum 
• Mozzas can definitely wear skinnies or straight legs if they are matched with A-line tunics, dresses and heels. 
• Pant hemlines should almost skim the surface of the ground. 
• You can wear most styles of skirt if they have enough structure and drop to a flattering length. 
• Keep skirts around the knee, sometimes a little above and sometimes a little below is an easy rule of thumb. 
• A-lines are best when the panels are stitched down and shaped for extra hip definition. 

Jackets & Blazers

• Choose tailored single breasted jackets with defined V-necklines. 
• A Mozza’s jacket length will very much depend on what its worn with: 
• Shrunken jackets look great with skirts and dresses. 
• Longer jackets that hit below the broad part of the hips look best with pants. 
• Don’t shy away from boyfriend jackets. Find a style that’s more tailored than boxy, wear it open or belted at the waist & scrunch up the sleeves. 
• It’s a great idea to keep your jacket unbuttoned because the long lean line that is created in front of the body is elongating and slimming. 

Shoes

• Heels can add length to your legs and make your hips look less full. 
• It’s flop proof to wear pointy-toed or almond toe shoes with bottoms that are wide at the hem because it elongates the leg line. 
• Peep toed shoes add the illusion of more height & a longer line by showing that little bit of skin at the bottom. 
• Wedge sandals are miracle workers when you are showing off your calves. 
• A nude or beige heel will work best to lengthen your legs. 

Accessories

• A Mozza can choose from a wide range of bags; to create contrast select a bag that is angular (rectangular, square). 
• You are free to play around with earrings, bangles and bracelets, just don't go overboard, stick to the 3 piece minimum rule. 
• Go for necklaces that end in the valley of your cleavage or above. If you select a necklace that sits over your bust line, it may have a tendency to sit out, rather they lie smoothly.
• Wearing a scarf that hangs in long line down your torso will make your waist look even smaller.
• Belts can be an amazing accessory for you body. Anything with a statement to it (big buckles, studs, etc) will draw more attention to your little waist. 
• Keep your accessories to a medium size. Mozza are already proportionate for the most part so adding extra volume with bigger accessories to either half can make you look off balanced. But with the same principal if you want to even out a bust that is a little bit smaller than the hips go for earrings that a little bigger or hang lower.

• Dresses with center front ruffle details, belted shirt dresses, and mock wrap frocks with plenty of side seam ruching work well.
• Flutter sleeve dresses that gather or tie up right under the bust will soften your torso and skim over a thicker waist to give a very feminine look.

Bottoms

• Wear short skirts that make the most of your slim legs.
• Go for A-line skirts to help your bottom look more in proportion with your top.
• Wear bottoms with back pockets or back details if you have a smaller bum.
• Sport printed or textured skirt or bottoms to draw more attention & accentuate lower half.
• Bias cut skirts, trumpet skirts, and paneled A-line skirts are all good choices for a Suza.
• Choose flat front, straight leg, boot cut or flared pants/jeans and avoid pleats and gathers.

Jackets & Blazers

• Layer a structured jacket or cardigan over a top that floats away from the waist. That way you’ll create a tailored look over a voluminous layering piece.
• Sport a single breasted structured jackets with V-shaped lapels that button below the bust line. The “V-shape” that is created in front of the body has an hourglass effect. 
• Make sure jackets and blazers are snug on the shoulders and nipped in at the waist. 
• Try leaving your jacket open creates a slimming vertical line down the front of the body
• Belted trenches and classic single breasted coats with tailored lapels at both thigh and knee length look fabulous on your body.

Shoes

• Platforms shoes. They’re chunky so they add more fullness to a rounded figure, so the eyes are tricked into seeing a more balanced figure.
• Wedge Sandals are also great for balancing out a Suza shaped body. They give the illusion of a fuller bottom half, without unnecessarily highlighting your torso. For closed shoes, choose wedges that have rounded off toes. This will give a curvy balance to your overall appearance. 
• Calf-Length Boots. Slouch style boots work best; if you want to add a little height chunky heels flatter best but don’t fear stilettos either. The bulkiness of the boots will counterbalance needle heels.
• Ballet Flats to flatter your slim calves and ankles.
• Strappy Sandals slim calves and ankles, encircling these with straps won’t make their legs look throttled. 

Accessories

• Wear bracelets & cuffs to draw attention to your lean arms! 
• Smaller necklaces help minimize a large chest 
• Scarves that hang in a long line down the torso help slim and lengthen the appearance of a wider waist 
• A bag that hangs around the hips and thighs will help balance the lower body. 
• A clutch purse carried by the hands, messenger-style bags or cross body style bags that hang on the hips are all great choices for Suzas. 
• Wear a belt right at the smallest part of your torso (normally right below your bust) to draw the eye in & give the illusion of a smaller waist. 
• Add a long vertical line by using long accessories chains or a draped belt that falls down onto your slim hips.
