Times have changed for the better, and we’re so much more accepting of that little bump on the belly- the tummy.
However, sometimes we still want to hide that little or large bulge, whether it be for occasions or day to day life! You may have seen our previous post on disguising your tummy, but we wanted to give you an update with all the latest trends so you can hide your tummy in style!
Gathering and knots
Not only are these dresses perfect for creating the illusion of or defining your waist, ruching details and knots perfectly conceal your bump for a slimming look.

Belted
Like knots and gathering, belted dresses perfectly accentuate the waist and hide any tummy with their buckles and ties; and with so many styles that feature belts, there’s sure to be a design to suit every figure!

Ruffles and peplum hems
Some people avoid these as they think they add bulk to your tummy, but we think they perfectly disguise it! Peplum tops and dress cinch in your waist and pop out to create an hourglass shape and ruffles conceal any bulges.

Camouflage
Cape tops and dresses or pretty bardot layers help to disguise or move the eye away from the tummy area, or a dark print can hide a multitude of problems. Vertical stripes also make you look taller and slimmer.

Layering
Waterfall cardigans are the perfect layers for hiding your tummy- longer lengths make you look leaner, and the flowing collar hides any bulges.
