How to slay with your tummy

Women come in all shape and sizes, there is such beauty in this diversity. Many ladies who have been blessed abundantly tend to shy away from slaying with their tummy. You owe no one a flat tummy (just an FYI) flat tummies are not a gate way to heaven, embrace your thiccness. (Yes two Cs, for emphasis). All you need is a few tips and tricks to help you accentuate your figure. Get yourself clothes that actually fit. Not a size too big or a size too small. Here are some tips that will help:

1. Love jeans? Pick the high-waisted

There is just something about a thicc mama in high-waisted jeans. Whoever came up with them, please receive your official invitation to heaven. You are blessed. These jeans hold in your tummy and are flattering to your figure. Always ensure that the jeans aren’t too tight, tight jeans are uncomfortable and give you a muffin top.

2. Vertical stripes

A little fashion 101 for everyone, vertical patterns and stripes make you look taller and take away attention from your tummy. The size of the stripes shouldn’t be too wide. Great colour options are black and white, this causes an optical illusion. You’ll be a scrumptious walking illusion. I can already picture the number of confused people on the streets.

3. The right undergarment

The Lord has been extremely generous to you and it might be a bit of a challenge finding the right size of undergarments. Lingerie stores have trained professionals who will measure and provide you with the right size. Your undergarments are the foundation of your outfit, once the foundation is right, the outfit will come together perfectly.

4. Dresses

When it comes to dresses, you can go for the ones with flowers and end just below the knee. Giving an illusion of being taller. Straight cut dresses tend to give you a box like effect, not flattering at all to a thicc woman. High waisted dresses are also an excellent option. Pick dresses that curve in slightly at the waist.

5. Skirts

Skirts for a thicc mama could be one of the most stressful things to get right. A tip is to purchase skirts that are made of a thick material and have patterns or stripes. A key point, is do get the one that ends just slightly below the knee. Again giving the illusion of being taller and taking away attention from your tummy. (If you want to hide your tummy)

6. Tops

When figuring out what top to wear, the options are endless. Don’t shy away from crop tops, showing a bit of tummy isn’t a bad thing. When choosing crop top, you may want to lean on one that is slightly loose fitting. Pair it with a high waisted bottom. All you need to ensure that it’s your size, don’t pick a size too big or too small. I know the first thought as a curvy woman is hiding all your thickness in baggy tops. Shove those baggy tops at the back of the closet, get yourself fitting tops in all patterns and colours.

No matter what tips or advice you receive, always wear what makes you feel good. Life is too short to be concerned about rules and regulations of the fashion world. Wear what you feel confident in, and strut it.
