Help, I have bacon! What to wear and how to dress to always be on top
Clothes that hide the belly
The main style rule for shifting attention away from your belly is to opt for a line of empire dresses and designs that fall soft and draped over the belly and hips.
Tops and t-shirts
When it comes to tops, shape, cut and color play can work wonders. Peplum tops and flared blouses under the breasts are the best garments to make an under-toned belly disappear in an instant. Don't go for fitted shirts or tops as they will only attract your mid-section's attention. A quick tip for streamlining your shape and creating the illusion of a perfect waist is to play with color blocking, like Reese Witherspoon. The structured bodice highlights her toned midsection well and the clever black details streamline her shape, for a real star result!

Small tricks to streamline the silhouette
- If you feel good about yourself, it is you that others will see first, not your roundness.
- Black and dark colors allow you to hide critical areas and reduce volumes.
- Harmonize the motifs and accessories to your shape, to make the silhouette harmonious: choose showy jewels, voluminous hairstyles.
- If your curves are concentrated in the lower half of the body, enhance the upper half with jackets with shoulder pads or eye-catching accessories.
- It is better to wear slightly tight clothing than too loose.
- Finally, the important thing is that you feel beautiful and good about yourself, so if you like tank tops and bright colors, don't give up on them!
