Styling Techniques for Your Body & Proportions

A client before and after, showing the mistakes many of us make. Swapping a round neck and skinny jeans for a deeper neckline and flared trousers instantly balances her proportions and slims her torso.

If you're using oversized shirts to hide a tummy bulge, there's a better way. I show how to use the right print, a seamless belt, and full-length trousers to create a more streamlined and flattering silhouette.

A wide midriff can be easily balanced with the right clothing choices. Here, I demonstrate how A-line silhouettes, empire waistlines, and structured blazers can create an hourglass shape without adding bulk.

Here are five outfit ideas if you're conscious of a tummy bulge. I demonstrate how high-waisted denim, waistcoats, and strategic layering can draw attention away from the midsection and create a balanced look.

Color can be a powerful tool. I show how a bold red top paired with white trousers draws the eye upward, de-emphasizing the tummy area more effectively than a contrasting black top.

Wearing white trousers when you have a tummy bulge can feel intimidating. The key is to avoid high contrast with your top. A white-on-white look, especially when layered with a blazer, creates a clean, elongated line.

Jumpsuits can be tricky if you have a wide tummy. I share a simple trick: pull the jumpsuit up to create a baggier top, which gives the illusion of a smaller waist. Darker colors and fabric belts also help.

Pleated trousers are often recommended to hide a tummy, but they don't work for everyone. I explain why wide-leg pants can be a better option, as they fall straight from the bulge and conceal the lower tummy more effectively.

If you want to wear a pleated skirt but are conscious of your tummy, I suggest avoiding skirts with a defined waistband. A skirt with a hidden waistband and pleats starting from the top creates a much smoother silhouette.
