Belly fat, yuck, don’t we all hate it! I know I do. It is the one thing that I dislike on my body. I’ve tried diets and exercise and I just can’t seem to reach my desired look.
As a self proclaimed “fashionista”, I had to figure out ways to hide, mask and just make this hideous area invisible when I’m dressed. I use clothes in a way where I still looked sexy and fabulous and you’d never know that I didn’t have a flat tummy.
So, now that I’ve got this thing down to a science, I’ve decided to share some of my dressing secrets with you, my readers.
-First rule of thumb, wear dark colors or busy prints on your upper body. This will help you look slim and hide your tummy fat.
-Avoid wearing too tight or too loose clothes on your upper body. Too tight clothes will highlight your tummy even more, and too loose will make your body look shapeless and bigger than you really are. If you want to look stylish, highlight your strengths. It is best not to wear tight tops, rather, choose tops that have some draping or ruching.
-Meet your new best friend. THE WRAP DRESS! This softly draped and gathered wrap-style dress will camouflage your tummy whilst a delicately scooped V-neckline adds length to your upper body and a fitted skirt section acts to emphasize slim hips and thighs.
-Don’t shy away from patterns and prints: the larger the print, the smaller the body. Sometimes, stripes can be tricky, so stick with the vertical variety and you’ll be amazed by their slimming effects.
-High necklines have a shortening effect on the upper body, adding bulk to a curvier torso. Why not opt for a scooped, sweetheart or V-neck neckline to add length. Or if you are feeling brave, showing a hint of cleavage will not only draw the eye up and away from your midsection it can also make you look slimmer, too! Last but not least, don’t give ‘cold shoulder’ styles the cold shoulder. They’ll show off the slimmest parts of your arms whilst drawing attention away from your tummy.
-Accessories are our thing! Long or bulky necklaces will draw the eyes attention. Using these accessories takes all the attention from your mid section.
These are the rules that I live by when shopping and dressing. If you follow these simple suggestions, you can create the appearance of the ideal figure.
Ladies, you are now on your way to looking Stylistically chic and fabulous.
