Why: wrap tops are a fabulous garment for reducing tits and creating a waist, because the upper half of the top is nurturing these areas. In the case of saddlebags, it's the hem that has to do the work and sadly it's just not able to fit around stuffed hips. Try it yourself and you'll see the hem splays out at the widest part of your arse.


Why: clean, excess-fabric-free lines keep you slim atop, whilst a hem length that stops before the hips serves to reduce the waist to the extent that no one gives a toss about those bags.

Why: if you have saddlebags you will almost certainly have a narrower torso - hence the term pear-shaped. The best way of showing this off is to show a cheeky bit of tummy above not-too-tight hipsters.
