Expert Answer

Look for clothing that gently glides over your curves, rather than anything that's too tight.

Question

I have a small waist but large tummy, which skirts and trousers are the best to wear?

Community Answer

High-waisted pants and skirts usually keep all the excess in. They make you look slimmer and curvy in the right places.

Question

How can I hide my belly fat in a school uniform that must be tucked in?

Community Answer

Wear your skirt high on your waist, and see if a belt helps. If not, you can always wear an oversize sweater (if your dress code allows this).

Question

Do high-waisted jeans work?

HeatherKnowsHow

Community Answer

High-waisted jeans (preferably slim-fit) are one of the best ways to hide belly fat. They also work well with a loose/oversized top!

Question

What if my belly hangs over and high waist pants push a lot of belly fat up making me look uneven in a shirt, what should I wear? My belly is huge!

HeatherKnowsHow

Community Answer

Try a looser or oversized top paired with high waist jeans. The looseness should hide excess body fat. The top should be a darker color preferably. Try accessorizing with necklaces or headbands to distract attention from your midsection.

Question

I am skinny with a flabby muffin top and big pooch, no shape, no butt. I am always hot. What can I wear in the hot summer to look good and stay cool?

Baggy pants and shirts. Also satin skirts or slip dresses on top of shirts or blouses. You could also try layering with thin materials.

Question

I have a stomach that sticks out when I tuck my shirt. What should I do?

Community Answer

Try wearing pants with a higher waistline. You can also wear slimming clothing underneath to keep stomach fat tucked in.

Question

I have a big stomach and small legs. How can I hide it?

Community Answer

Try wearing skirts with an empire waistline (below chest). Sweatpants can also help hide skinny legs if they are baggy.

Question

I'm really big and I want to wear a tank top. How can I pull this off successfully?

Community Answer

Wear a tank top in a dark color. The dark color will add a slimming effect, as well as drawing attention away from your midsection. Also, be sure to choose the right size; it will always look better than trying to squeeze into something that is too small for you.

Question

When I wear my oversized hoodie, it makes me look even fatter and I want to wear it so what should I do?

Spaceship

Community Answer

Wear a hoodie that actually fits you! Big people often make the mistake of wearing clothes that are too big, believing that it will make them look slimmer but it does not. Oversized clothing looks sloppy and unappealing, well fitting clothes are also more comfortable than oversized clothing.

Question

What’s the best bodysuit to wear that could hide my stomach?

Spaceship

Community Answer

Wear a dark colored bodysuit that is comfortable. Dark colors make you look slimmer by drawing attention away from your midsection. To make the outfit look more proportionate, wear light colored pants.

Question

Can I wear tight clothes and still disguise belly fat? If so, how?

Spaceship

Community Answer

The best way to disguise belly fat with tight clothes is to use dark colours such as charcoal black or navy blue. Dark colours help you draw attention away from areas you don’t want highlighted.
