But if you still want to hide such areas, it must be done correctly, otherwise there`s a risk they`ll look even bigger. That`s why our editorial team offers you ways to mask sides and belly with the help of clothing. Especially pleasing was the idea that Kim Kardashian often uses!

HOW TO LOOK SLIMMER

1. If you have a round belly, don`t try to squeeze it into tight T-shirts and tops. A loose fit will suit you much better, and it doesn`t mean you have to walk around in baggy clothes.

Try to choose T-shirts, tops, dresses with a deep neckline that then fall freely to the middle of the hips (be careful with styles that accentuate above or on the belly). Loose shirt dresses will beautifully hide this area (and they`re in fashion now!).

2. Vertical patterns, prints, and lines will help you look slimmer and taller. Just pay attention to the width and density of the lines. Wide lines can visually make you rounder, so prefer clothes with narrow and dense lines.

Pay attention to lines in classic black and white colors and navy blue-white tones.

3. Upper items like blouses, T-shirts shouldn`t be tucked into belts. Because in that case, you`ll draw a certain line in the belly area, which will attract attention.

Wear these items loosely, and they shouldn`t be too tight. Their length should be a bit below where the belly ends. Blouses with small pleats that hide the belly will look good. Dresses with a dropped waistline will also work well.

4. To divert attention from the belly, emphasize certain areas in your look, for example, the breasts (just without fanaticism).
Stylish options like a black dress with a small neckline, as well as classic pants and top, pencil skirt and blouse will look good.

5. A high waistline will make the line from waist to hips even - the sides won`t treacherously stick out. Therefore, classic black or dark pants from thick material can become the basis of your wardrobe!

6. The simplest way is to hide the belly with a dress. Feel free to use full dresses, empire style dresses, tunics without a clear waistline. In such cases, shirt dresses and A-line dresses are also ideal.
As you can see, the choice of clothes to create a chic look is huge!

7. Another secret that will make problem areas unnoticeable. Use skirts! Most often, the ideal choice will be a pencil skirt below the knee, from thick fabric in dark tones. Complement it with an effective top, and of course, don`t forget high-heeled shoes. Your look will be stylish and attractive!

As an alternative to these skirts, you can use bell-shaped skirts slightly below the knee or maxi (to the ground). When choosing such a wardrobe item, you can vary from a restrained color palette to bright and juicy tones. Of course, we`re talking about skirts with a high waist.

8. If the weather allows - complete your look with a cardigan. This universal item pairs perfectly with skirts, jeans, as well as pants and dresses. A cardigan will give exactly that vertical effect that visually elongates your figure.

9. Use special shapewear! Nowadays, it should be in every woman`s wardrobe, regardless of whether her figure is slim or not. Good quality corrective underwear will definitely help you effectively mask a protruding belly and drive away your complexes.

Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Emily Blunt, Tyra Banks, Lea Michele, Anne Hathaway, Lena Dunham, Adele, and other celebrities have openly expressed their love for this trick. For special occasions, shapewear is a real magic wand.
