TIPS: For the Stomach
Smart Style Secrets for a Flattering Midsection
Useful Fashion Tips
If You Have a Protruding Abdomen…
✓ Avoid narrow belts.
Thin belts can cut across the waistline and draw attention to the stomach area, creating an unflattering divide.
✓ Choose A-line and empire silhouettes.
These styles gently skim over the midsection and create a graceful, elongating effect.
✓ Look for sewn-down pleats.
Structured pleats help smooth the waist area and offer a subtle controlling effect.
✓ Be careful with straight skirts.
Very straight styles may cling under the stomach and emphasize fullness. Softer cuts are usually more flattering.
✓ Use side pockets strategically.
Side-slashed pockets help guide the eye outward, drawing attention away from the center of the body.
✓ Select skirts with gentle side gathers.
Light gathers at the front sides create movement and a slimming illusion.
