don't wear them, especially if they're low-rise. When you exhale, there's no place for that
flesh to go except over the waistband. Step 2. Wear loose-fitting, mid-waist trousers

3. Wear a long camisole underneath tops that are too short to cover your mid-section, a
common problem with low-waisted pants. Or take a tip from pregnant women: Wear a belly
band under blouses that just makes it look like you have a cami peeking out. Find them
in lingerie sections or make one yourself out of an old camisole or fitted t-shirt.
Raise your arms to test the cami's coverage. Step 4. Pair cropped, fitted jackets with
long tops. They'll provide the coverage you need while still looking youthful and stylish.
