- A short, fluffy skirt or shorts, preferably with a high waist. A great look for girls who want to emphasize their shapes.
- Skinny jeans and high heels.
- Maxi skirt. The least provocative, but very feminine option.
- Top - bustier looks great with a jacket or dress shirt in addition to wide trousers.
Also, a bust-top can be worn in a duet with a white blouse with a loose fit or a turtleneck.
