Cocktail Rings Mask Stubby Fingers
The complaint: “I hate my short, stubby fingers.”
The disguise: Cocktail rings.
Why it works: These big, statement rings are actually better suited for thicker fingers because they require a certain amount of weight to pull off. Just be sure to find a ring that doesn’t overwhelm your hand and you’re good to go.

Thick Wrists Require Chunky Bracelets
The complaint: “I want to look slimmer.”

Long Chains Lengthen Your Neck
The complaint: “I look like I have no neck.”
The disguise: Long necklaces.
Why it works: We aren’t all blessed with long, lean necks like Iman, but luckily there’s a fix for that. Long necklaces draw the eyes downward, which has an elongating and slimming effect you’re sure to appreciate.

Oversized Earrings Disguise Big Ears

The disguise: Oversized earrings.
Why it works: If you’re tired of wearing your hair down to cover your ears, try oversized earrings. A larger earring actually draws attention to the accessory and away from your ear.
