Let’s be honest. You didn’t spend all winter dragging yourself to the gym, dodging bagels and braving leg day just to throw on a sack this summer. Whether you’re sculpting abs, building curves, or just feeling yourself a little more than last year—your wardrobe should do your hard work justice.
This summer, it’s not about changing your body. It’s about dressing smart to highlight the best and play down the rest. Think clothes that hug where you want them to, loosen where you need them to, and whisper “yes, I lift” (even if you don’t). And no one’s doing that delicate balance of fashion meets flattery better than Avenue X, led by creative genius and body-positive designer Bena Klier.
We raided the AvenueXFashions.com collection and found four must-have outfits that match up perfectly with the styling tips we’ve been dishing out all season. Each piece celebrates real bodies, real summers, and really good taste.
🌞 1. “Body Goals” Two-Piece Set – Flare Pant Set
💸 $65.00
This one’s for the “look at my waist” girlies. The structured crop top draws the eye up while the wide-leg pants flow around the hips—giving you that hourglass illusion even if your last hourglass broke in 2019. It’s giving gym-flex without being tight in all the wrong places.
☀️ 2. “Leg Day Approved” 2 Piece Set: Cutout Out See Through Collared Knitted Shorts
💸 $60.00
Want to show off toned legs and shoulders but still hide that third mimosa from brunch? This sleeveless, side-slit dress has you covered—literally and strategically. Bena Klier calls it a “body-neutral staple that always finds the right angle.”
🌿 3. “Soft Glam” Satin Drawstring Jumpsuit
💸 $65.00
If summer means rooftop dinners and smooth cocktails, this is your go-to. The plunging neckline adds drama, the cinched waist flatters everyone, and the satin gives it just enough shine to say, “I woke up like this—but expensive.”
🌸 4. “No Gym? No Problem.” V Neck High Waist Dress
💸 $70.00
For days when you want to look effortlessly ethereal (but didn’t have time to shave your legs or do squats), the Sylvie dress gives breezy elegance without clinging. The pattern distracts, the flow flatters, and the print pops. Instant glow-up.
👗 The Avenue X Effect
Founder Bena Klier isn’t just a designer—she’s a fashion therapist. Her styling approach blends couture influence with day-to-day wearability.
“Women want fashion that understands their bodies. Avenue X is about style that listens,” she told NY Style Magazine.
And she delivers. Every seam, pleat, and drawstring is intentional. You won’t just look good. You’ll feel powerful.
Bethany’s Pro Styling Tips:
- Crop Tops Are Not Just for Abs: Pair them with high-waist pants to create a torso illusion—even without crunches.
- One-Slit Wonder: Dresses with one side slit show just enough leg to tease but leave room for mystery (and Spanx).
- Jumpsuits Are Cheat Codes: They elongate the body and smooth out “where did this come from” midsections.
- Prints Are Distraction Artists: Loud patterns steal the eye from areas you’re not loving—while highlighting the parts you do.
So whether you’re flaunting, faking, or somewhere in between—Avenue X has something that’ll make you strut into summer like you own it. Because you do.
