Want to show off your sunkissed shoulders?

Wear one of this summer’s hottest styles: a V-strap dress or top.

The “V” acts as an arrow, drawing attention toward your collarbone, shoulders and arms and away from your lower half, so V-straps are great for pear-shaped bodies. Also, they appear to lengthen short necks, and wider V-necks make narrow shoulders look proportional to your body.

Although V-shaped necklines are flattering for most figures, sleeveless V-strap styles look best on women with slender arms and skin that’s relatively free of sunspots.

So go easy on the sun kisses, and try a sunless body bronzer instead (one example: Estee Lauder Sunless SuperTan, which is $26.50 at Dillard’s, Cordova Mall).
