But with some styling magic, you’ve got the option to conceal that muffin top.
Here’s five ways to do it.
Pick the Right Jeans
Look for a midrise jean that hits right at your belly button.
Styles We Like(left to right):Gap 1069 Mid-Rise Flare Jeans, $70;J.
Crew Vintage Straight Jean, $125;501 Jeans for Women, $98.
Bonus points for fabrics with movement, like chiffons, which are forgiving, not clingy.
Invest in a Chic Blazer
A tailored, fitted style or a boyfriend-style blazer both work.
And get it sized so it looks great in the shoulders.
Both will cover a pooch.

Consider Undergarments
Slimming ones really do work.
Get a Spanx camisole, panties or other styles that’ll flatten your tummy.
Get In an Empire State of Mind
As in empire waistlines!
These will create a high waist to conceal the parts you’re worried about.
Peplum styles are particularly flirty and fun.
