Hey friends! Many women after 40 experience weight gain on their bellies, especially after going into peri-menopause or menopause. Today I’m sharing tips on how to hide your tummy, stylishly cover-up, or disguise a tummy.

I know everyone doesn’t love high-rise jeans, pants, or shorts, but a high-rise is a great way to help hide a tummy. They help hold everything in, and if your rise is too low, that can accentuate your stomach.

1.

Wear high waisted pants/jean

I know everyone doesn’t love high-rise jeans, pants, or shorts, but a high-rise is a great way to help hide a tummy. They help hold everything in, and if your rise is too low, that can accentuate your stomach.

2. Add a third layer

Layering is a great way to hide your tummy. It gets tricky in the summer because the last thing we want is to layer on clothes in the heat, but you can do it and still not burn up.

3.

Wear shapewear

Of course, shapewear is a no-brainer. If you wear anything that hugs the body, shapewear is your friend.

4. Wear darker colors

It’s no secret that darker colors make you look slimmer. White jeans, pants, and shorts are not always the most flattering, but we love to wear them in the summer.

(I loved these pants but they were too pricey so I didn’t buy them.)

5.

Wear tunic style t0ps

Tunic style tops are another great option, and a slight v-neck also elongates and helps give the illusion of a slimmer silhouette.

Beauty For the Heart— You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Song of Songs 4:7

Truth: While this verse is written as a groom’s love for his bride, some say this is also an allegory of God’s love for Israel or the church.

I can see God saying this to us. He created us, and while we can be are critical about ourselves and see new wrinkles popping up every day and maybe our body has changed after menopause, God is saying, “you are beautiful, there is no flaw!”
