S&S Activewear—Van Heusen Ladies’ Easy Care Wrinkle Free Royal Oxford Shirt
There’s really no trick to this belt trend. There are two different ways to do it. With tunic tops (those that hang straight down from the bust), you want to “create” a waist so it doesn’t look like you’re in a potato sack. In these cases, cinching is OK. However, when it comes to buttondowns, make sure the shirt already skims curves. The idea here is to accent the middle. This shirt, for example, has darts on both the front and the back so there won’t be any unflattering bunching or bulging.

NOT TOO LONG ago, the Northwestern University women’s lacrosse team got invited to the White House. The resulting photo, which should have been a source of parental pride for years to come, soon became the stuff of media buzz legend. “You wore flip-flops to the White House?!,” proclaimed an e-mail sent to one of the four players who, while posing in the front row, was captured wearing the offending sandals. But the choice of footwear shouldn’t have surprised anyone—it’s merely a sign of the times. In general, the public’s attitude toward clothing styles has become more and more laissez-faire over the years. Suits, once a
