Look Your Best This Spring...

THE BEST SHOE-AND-PANT COMBOS FOR YOUR SHAPE






IF YOU'RE ATHLETIC...
Tap your sporty side with drawstring trousers (an upgrade from sweats), like Allison Williams'. They're not only comfortable, but the waist-cinching band encourages curves. Counter a too-athletic aesthetic with ladylike nude pumps.

Pants: Community, $75; aritzia.com
Pumps: Kate Spade, $298; piperlime.com








IF YOU'RE CURVY...
Let Christina Hendricks be your go-to muse and select high-waisted wide-leg pants (ideally with a crease down the center) to create a longer, leaner look. As for shoes, opt for a clean, classic pump, or a chunky high-heel sandal. Teeny-tiny straps can seem disproportionate.

SHOP THE LOOK:
Pants: NYDJ, $130; neimanmarcus.com
Pumps: Aldo, $80; aldoshoes.com







IF YOU'RE PETITE...
Look for ankle-grazing bottoms that are fit and tailored to your frame. Try to avoid dark ankle-strap shoes—the strap can cut off your legs, making you appear shorter. The goal is to lengthen. Reese Witherspoon opted for leopard print pumps, which built height and added interest to her look.

Pants: Rebecca Taylor, $178; rebeccataylor.com
Pumps: Loft, $80








IF YOU'RE TALL...
Most cuts work for your height! Experiment with wide-leg flares or skinnies, or try rolling the hems. You can embrace your stature with heels, or you can select hip menswear-inspired flats, like Miranda Kerr's two-tone brogues.
