What pieces can I to offset my larger hips/thighs, making me look more manly?A: There are a number of pieces you can add to your wardrobe to give your physique more of a V-shape. V-neck or Y-neck t-shirts should become your new basics as they’ll create the illusion of the body you covet and you can wear them alone or under blazers and jackets to further help smooth out a bulky lower half. This summer, try a bright colored Y-neck T-shirt, such as this one from American Rag, as your base layer as it will flatter your figure and make a style statement at the same time by adding a pop of color to your ensembles.Q: I know that in the winter and spring I can use heeled shoes to boost my height, but what should I be using in the summer?

If you want to gain a little height in the summer, sandals are not the way to go because sophisticated models tend to be quite flat whereas those with a slight lift are too sporty and casual for many occasions. Opt instead to raise the style bar with a pair of boat shoe such as these ones from Guess. Team them with jeans, cotton pants cuffed at the ankle or shorts.

Q: I leave my house at 9 and get back at 9, which means my bag needs to carry food, clothes for the gym and work stuff. What's the best type of bag I should be looking for?

A: A heavy-duty messenger bag will meet all your 9-to-9 needs. Tumi’s rugged-meets-chic nylon version, for instance, features plenty of pockets, meaning you can keep your work documents or laptop in the main compartment and your gym gear or your meals in either the front or back pocket, and still have extra storage space left for additional items. One word to the wise when a single bag serves multiple purposes: keep a washable nylon pouch around so that you can stash sweaty clothes in it after your workout without contaminating the rest of your stuff.

Q: Are there any products that I should be using when I think my eyes and face look puffier than they should?

A: Puffy eyes are often the result of fatigue so if you’ve been burning the midnight oil, integrate a cooling eye gel, like this one from Shiseido Men, into your skin care routine as it will refresh your entire orbital area, helping you appear more awake. For your face, try a hydrating moisturizer to de-stress skin and bring it back to a healthy-looking hue.
