Attaining flat abs isn’t just a matter of diet and exercise. Here are some of the best wardrobe tips for hiding not-so-flat abs:
Avoid clingy fabrics. Anything shiny or stretchy will just draw attention to the fact that your stomach isn’t flat. Look for denim, cotton, or wool instead of satin and jersey.
Skip cuts that add unflattering volume. These include baby-doll or Empire-cut dresses, which won’t work unless you have great legs and a small chest. Try a cut that narrows at the waist or cinch your middle with a belt. For skirts, look for pencil cuts and avoid pleats.
When shopping for pants, look for a fit that hits about an inch beneath your belly button. Don’t go so low that your stomach spills over your pants’ waistband.
Top it off with something that draws attention to your shoulders, such as a narrow single-breasted jacket cropped at the waist. Tops that fall below the hips and float over the stomach also offer the best camouflage. These include peasant shirts or tunics that aren’t too billowy.
Control-top tights under dresses and pants can be great body sculptors.
And lastly, whether you‘re sitting or standing, keep it straight. Suck your stomach toward your backbone.
