Want to add instant flirt to your look? Try a peplum.

The magic of the peplum -- like the Ports 1961 version, left -- is that it makes your waist look tiny; longer ones -- like at Giambattista Valli (right) -- even hide a tummy.

Opt for a peplum dress or suit (the peplum silhouette in a suit goes well with a pencil skirt.)
