Tops? For many women in the summer a horror. But why? Often women just do not find their upper arms nice. Little sport, a suddenly great loss of weight or even the aging elasticity of the skin on the arms can lead to - so-called "low-angle arms".

A little remedy can always create sports, but of course it takes time and costs. The quick alternative: clothes with sleeves, which cover especially the upper arms. Ideal for the summer: dresses with sleeves that are airy but hide the problem area . You should pay attention to these things when styling.

The cut
