What should I wear if I have high hips?

When you have high hips, your torso tends to appear shorter, so anything to lengthen the appearance of your torso is key. Exposed necklines, such as V-necks and scoop necks will be your best friend & you can opt for looser silhouettes that skim over your hips.

Is having big hips a good thing?
