10 Best Friend Sweatpants

Some of us are curvier than we would like to be. While we may be trying to lose weight, we still want ways to hide our extra baggage. Is it possible to hide our abundance of curves without resorting to sweatshirts and sweatpants? You bet it is. In fact, you can still be quite fashionable, while hiding those unwanted curves.

Empire Waist Tops and Dresses

If you want to hide your belly, one of the easiest ways to do so is to look for pieces of clothing with an empire waistline. An empire waistline, falls right under the breasts and the top or dress then flows out from that point. This is a great way to hide your belly because the shirt makes it appear as though the shirt is large, not you. This look can be found in a number of tops and dresses. Whether you want a professional look for the office or a sexy look for a night out, you're bound to find what you want. If you want the best look, consider dresses and tops that are made with a flowy material, such as silk or satin.

Wide Leg Jeans and Trousers

One of the worst things you can do for your body is to choose skinny jeans or jeans that come in at the thigh and flare back out. These styles draw attention to your extra curves. Instead, opt for jeans and trousers that fall straight from the hip or have a wide leg from the hip down. This way, no one knows what you're legs look like under your pants and you will appear thinner. One last tip, stay away from jeans that have stretch. Stretch pants are not friendly to an overly curvy frame.

Darted Waistline Pieces

Another great way to appear thinner is to choose tops, blazers and dresses that come in at the waistline. Even if you're chest, stomach and thighs are close in size, these pieces will make it appear as though you have an hourglass figure. For example, a wide leg pair of trousers paired with a fitted top and buttoned blazer with a darted waistline can make you look like a million bucks. If you want a sexy look for the weekend, pair a darted waistline blouse with a dark pair of wide leg jeans.

Pieces That Draw Attention to Your Best Features

A great trick to hide your unflattering curves is to focus on your best features. For many curvy women, this would be the chest. That doesn't mean you should bare all in a low cut top. What it does mean it to choose v-neck tops that draw the eyes upward. You can also add a necklace to draw more attention to that area. Another feature some women like to draw attention to is the legs. If you have sexy legs, consider wearing an a-line skirt. These skirts draw attention away from the thighs and allow the focus to fall on your legs. If you pair the skirt with a top that draws in at the waistline, you'll look like a curvy hottie with awesome legs. No one will have time to notice those extra curves. They'll be too busy thinking about how sexy you look.
