    Curvy ladies should opt for a high-waist style. If you are curvy and short, never wear a skirt or dress below knee level—that will reduce your height even more. Boyish body types should opt for A-line skirts and dresses. If you have a bigger chest, don't wear puffy bottoms or A-line skirts because they will add on extra weight. Instead, opt for figure-hugging skirts and bottoms with a loose top.

    How do I look good with regular leggings?
    Community Answer
    Opt for a basic top that looks good with the color of the leggings. For example, if you’re wearing a pair of black leggings, wear lighter colors on top. For lighter colored leggings, wear darker tops. Make sure the top covers your bottom. Pair the outfit with a normal pair of sneakers or some soft boots, such as Uggs.

    It depends on where you're volunteering; dressing for volunteer work in an animal shelter would be different than if you were volunteering to teach an ESL class. Check with the volunteer coordinator of the organization to inquire about appropriate clothing.
