CINCHED WAISTS
Despite the season's playfulness in terms of form and silhouette, there persists across almost all the collections a real insistence on nipped-in waists. Dresses might be voluminous, suiting might be exaggerated, and skirts may have flouncy peplum shapes, but nearly every look is cinched, belted, or otherwise trim. The good news, of course, is that a trim middle is pretty much universally flattering. We'd also say that investing in an exciting belt might be a wise idea-much like accessories, it's a simple add-on that packs a wallop on any simple outfit you already own.
