Let’s be real, style isn’t a one-size-fits-all game. Every body type has its own moment, and the real glow-up happens when you dress with your shape, not against it. Whether you’ve got curves that don’t quit, legs that go on forever, or a frame that’s perfectly in sync, Altair’s got flattering outfits for every body shape.
