It's all about find the right cut and fabric, according to Caldwell. She suggested a mid-rise pair in a stretchy polyester or spandex blend so it appears smooth and not sheer. To achieve a slimming effect, opt for jeans that hit neatly at your ankles.

The Simple White Pencil Skirt

If you're looking to rock winter white at a more formal event, a simple pencil skirt is a great way to go. Pair it with a cozy white sweater and over-the-knee boots and you're set!

It doesn't take much for a pencil skirt to look slimming. That's its job, right? But to really accentuate your curves, look for a fabric that's sturdy, yet stretchy enough to create a smoothing effect. Two more tips from Caldwell: Belt the skirt to create a nice waistline.

The Winter-Proof White Dress

If you thought white dresses were only appropriate in the spring or summer, think again!

Pair a simple white dress with a nice outerwear piece to create a sleek silhouette. Afraid of going all-white? Caldwell also suggested playing around with color-blocking and eyelet fabric to achieve a similar look.
