Bodycon: the only hugging going on this summer

Bodycon stands for body conscious and is the perfect fashion statement to embrace those curves. But these outfits aren’t simply tightly worn apparel that grips every part of a woman’s curves. It's about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Over the years, the bodycon dress has gotten a bad reputation, probably because of not so inspiring celebrities leading the way. This season however bodycon dresses, shirts and tops are getting a chic and classy make-over, inspired by our favorite 90's idols and sassy new kids on the block.

Black is always a safe option and an instant reference to our nineties idols but if you are here for the long run, think vibrant colors. Also, bold prints can take away the attention from areas you might feel less confident about.

Still in a bit of self-doubt? Don't forget to invest in some underclothes and try to find the right shape and size. Are you pear shaped? Then go for a top that accentuates your upper body.

A bodycon dress is all about you, so don't over accessorize. Wear a simple, yet elegant heel (a flat will not make that booty so flattering!) and your favorite pair of low-key earrings. Done and done!
