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

    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).

    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!

    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'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.

    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.

    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.
