Hiding your hips
Precisely picking out your wardrobe to complement your shape will help out with concealing certain traits of your body. Hips tend to be the body part that is the trickiest to downplay, and if you’re carrying extra weight in this area, utilizing the right accessories and clothing options can help hide your hips and give off a more proportionate appearance. Here are a few fashion tips for minimizing your hips with style.
Prioritize your top
One of the easiest ways to draw focus away from your hips is to attract attention to your upper body. This can be done in a number of ways, whether it’s wearing a flashy and decorative top that is bursting with vibrant colors, or displaying a little neckline that can put emphasis on your face or a shiny necklace.
A common misconception about hiding your hips through fashion is by wearing a longer top that falls further down your thighs. This only serves to create the illusion that you have shorter legs, which can make your body appear more disproportionate. Try to wear a top that doesn’t fall past the middle region of your hips. This will create a more balanced look, especially in regard to your hips.
Broaden your bottoms
From wide-leg pants to full skirts, wearing a bottom that is a little more free and flowing will help hide your hips while keeping you looking fashionable. Trouser-fit dress pants fall straight down from the hip, so your waistline and hips are harder to distinguish. While a full skirt will somewhat emphasize your waist, your hips, thighs and legs will be downplayed, especially when paired with long black leggings.
Belt placement
For those with wider hips, the belt can be a stylish accessory that is often underutilized. Wearing a belt may add an advantage to minimizing hip appearance, primarily by where you’re placing it. Tying a skinny belt just above your natural waistline or even in the mid-section of your torso can create the illusion of a longer and leaner appearance, while also balancing out your hips and lower body.
Practice your patterns
Of course, the best way to both impress onlookers while distracting away from your hips is by picking a bold pattern or going with a stylish suit. Pinstripes are typically renowned for their ability to add a sense of height to your appearance, with vertical stripes that lengthen the body which in turn help conceal your hips.
