HOW TO | CAMOUFLAGE YOUR ARMS

Are you always on the lookout for tops that give you maximum arm coverage? Do you cringe at photos and crop your arms out before they go on Instagram? Unsightly arms are a distressing subject for some women. While exercise is often the answer, the truth is this is one of the hardest areas to tone. What if we tell you there are ways you can make your arms appear slimmer instead of covering them up? Read on 

Go sheer | If you are keen on a cover-up, try sheer sleevesinstead. Lace allows for skin show without revealing too much. Think Aishwarya Rai at the Cannes film festival post-pregnancy in her Elie Saab gown. Other options include sleeves that hit right below the elbow (3/4 length) and kimono sleeved tops (flare sleeves).

Distract | Draw the attention away from your arms with a kick-ass accessory. A statement choker piece to highlight your neck or a broad belt to emphasize your hourglass frame. A v-neck top will accentuate your décolletage.

Off shoulder | The one trend that stylists and editors are rocking these days is the off shoulder top. Inspired by Spring 2016 runway collections (seen on Derek Lam), an off-shoulder silhouette shows subtle sex appeal by exposing your shoulders (and covering those arms).

Layer | Layering is the easiest way to cover up your arms. This year, make the summer jacket your new best friend. A light sheer cape top or bolero jacket are great options too. Stick to dark solid colors, or opt for smaller sizes if you want to have fun with prints.
