Q. How do I prevent muffin top?
It's all about artful dressing—and taking advantage of figure-flattering details. Wide waistbands, loose tops, and smoothing fabrics are all your friends. Check out these star players:
Clockwise from left:
Attention, $20; Kmart.com. Hide a pooch with a peplum top.
Ivanka Trump, $79; LordandTaylor.com. A flowy tunic skims over flabby bits; a subtle elastic waist conceals and flatters.
Pants on model, Rafaella, $58; RafaellaSportswear.com. A wider waistband and stretch fabric hold you in.
Yummie by Heather Thomson, $34; YummieLife.com. This tank's fabric sucks in your middle, but it's loose on the bottom so it doesn't cling to bulges or ride up.
