Model Denise Bidot Shares Her 6 Best Styling Tricks

"Nothing is more classic than a great leather jacket paired with your favorite pair of jeans. I love how versatile leather can be. Pair with dress or jeans and you'll always look put together. Certain items are definitely worth investing in and this one of them— it’s timeless and can be worn year after year."

"I wish more curvy women knew about Chromat. If you’re looking for a swimsuit or corset that fits your every curve—no matter what size—Chromat is the place to go. People may forget that they have a curve collection! I’ve been working with them since my first runway show back in 2014, and I’m always in awe of their beautifully constructed pieces that fit so well." Check out Bidot on their Spring 2018 runway, above.
 

"I love Target. Not only are they great to work with professionally, but I can go in there and find everything needed for me and my daughter! They’ve done so many fashion-forward collaborations, delivering great design that’s also so affordable. I mean, where can you go wrong?"

Some straight-sized brands can work great on curves, you just have to be open to trying everything on. "My tried and true gems are Theory, Rag & Bone, and Helmut Lang, as they have excellent fit and their collections always look a cut above the rest. These brands are universal, not just for curves but all women."

"I love a great bodysuit or jeans moment. It's perfection when I'm wearing a bodysuit and know everything is in place." It holds and streamlines. "If you want to  appear a bit taller in jeans, leave a little bit of ankle showing. Simply roll the hem and add a chic pair of mules."
 

"A good bag is your best friend and definitely worth the splurge. There’s no need to buy one each season, classics will always be classics. I definitely enjoy being fashionable and current, but items that have too much of a trend behind them, are items that are best to get at fast fashion retailers."
