Make The Best of Your Favorite Body Part

July 1, 2002 -- Women always seem to focus on the parts of their bodies they don't like, but many fail to do enough to emphasize the parts that they do like.

To give tips on how to best accentuate favorite body parts, Betty Cortina, the editorial director of Latina magazine, appeared with a group of models on Good Morning America.

All About Abs:

Model No. 1 showed off her tight abs, and drew attention away from her legs (her not-so-favorite part), with a slightly midriff-baring outfit. White ruffle pull tie top by DKNY ($158), blue peasant skirt by Calypso, ($150, 212-965-0990), Steve Madden sandals ($150, stevemadden.com)

Tips: For better-looking abs, apply a little bronzer to the midriff, which will create the illusion of better abs. Of course, you should also do crunches and cardio workouts. Instead of a pull tie top, you can achieve the same look with any little white top by tying it in a knot at the bottom. Show just a little bit of tummy, but not too much.

Shapely Legs:

Model No. 2 showed off her great legs with a black ruffled skirt by Mo and Su (Anthropologie, 1-800-309-2500, $88), lace-up sandals by Steve Madden (Steve Madden, $59.95, stevemadden.com), and beige tank top by Shameless (Lord & Taylor stores, $30)

Tips: The flamenco style skirt draws everyone's eyes to her legs, and nude, strappy sandals give the legs a seamless look. Make sure you get a pedicure. Red nail polish is a good color on everyone, regardless of skin tone. To get those killer legs, do lots of squat exercises.

Proud of Chest: Model No. 3 showed off her attractive chest without exposing too much by wearing a terra cotta capped sleeve top with front gathers by Calme (Urban Outfitters, $38, urbanoutfitters.com), an amber lariat necklace by Roberta Chiarella ($120. robertachiarella.com) tan corduroy trousers by Dickies (Urban Outfitters, $29.99, urbanoutfitters.com), and Bruno Magli shoes (Lord & Taylor stores).

Tips: The gathered shirt cuts down to just the top of the cleavage, not showing too much because it is sexier to just reveal a little. The pendant also stops just above the cleavage. To create the illusion of cleavage, wear a little powdered bronzer on the front of the chest.

Neck and Shoulders Above Rest

Model No. 4 showed off her graceful neck and shoulders with a turquoise peasant top by Calypso ($105, 212-965-0990), chandelier turquoise earrings by Roberta Chiarella ($90, robertachiarella.com), low-rider jeans by Diesel (Urban Outfitters, $128, urbanoutfitters.com) and David Aaron shoes (David Taylor, $59.99).

Tips: The peasant top and a swept-up hairdo reveal her shoulders. You can also wear drop or chandelier earrings or alternatively a choker, but never both. Another tip: Using a little body gloss will really draw the eye to your shoulders. Swimming is a good shoulders exercise.

Back Is Tops:

Model No. 5 showed off her back with a black strap backless dress by DKNY ($188), black strappy sandals by Ralph Lauren ($105).

Tips: It's not a look for the office, but is great for a night out. A black, strappy dress really shows off the back, and looks simple and elegant. For a better back: Make sure you use moisturizer, so the skin doesn't get dry and scaly. And to build stronger back muscles, try yoga. It's the best exercise for building muscle tone and strength in the back.
