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.”

Oversized Earrings Disguise Big Ears
