It’s a cinch

Preity zinta can be seen wearing them everywhere—from polo matches to fashion shows. Fendi, Moschino and Louis Vuitton–all major fashion labels have used it in their fall-winter collections this year. Yes, the cinched waist is back. Cinched dresses add a feminine line around your waist and showcase the perfect hourglass figure. You could wear them for an early brunch, a movie or even an evening out. “Although you can wear them with flat shoes, cinched dresses look much better with heels,” says designer Nainika Karan. If dresses are not your thing, you could add a little twist to your shirts by cinching the waist with a belt and teaming it up with jeans. However, if you are heavy around the waist, don’t cinch too tight. The bulges will spoil the effect.
