So I'm pretty tall and skinny, with long legs and a very straight, boyish figure. Any ideas on how I can play up the good parts like my legs and not emphasize my lack of curves? (I'm really flat lol) suggestions please!

Blue skinny jeans, and a peplum shirt :) the shirt gives the illusion of curves

I don't know much about how to dress boyish, but I know that Forever 21 has some "boyfriend" jeans. Or is that different??

Thanks so much for the help francesmarie and Victoria m.! @veronica a boyish figure is a body type that doesn't have very pronounced curves.

Anything that gives the illusion of curves, like peplum or a chinched waist.

Usually, wearing a baggyish shirt and a skater skirt gives me some curves and a bit more boob~

Peplum tops and anything loose but pulled in at that waist, understand? (:

I'm the same way :) The trick is to create the illusion of curves. Try dresses that cinch at the waist, high waisted skirts with a tucked in shirt, batwing top and boyfriend jeans, tops that have frills or other detailing, especially along the bust, peplum tops with bodycon skirts, flared jeans and peasant blouse, and a jersey maxi dress/skirt. Don't be afraid of longer lengths; midi length dresses and A line skirts are your best friend. Gather style inspiration from Taylor Swift because she has a boyish figure, but compensates for it with very feminine and flattering pieces.
