How to wear a pleated skirt with a tummy was the number one question that brought googlers to my blog this month. So, like any great content creator out there, I am taking advantage of the traffic and writing a post to help you answer this burning question.
First of all, I want you to know that you are beautiful, tummy or not. I can totally understand why wearing a pleated skirt with a tummy is a popular question because even I have searched it before. The thing about pleated skirts is that they flatter all shapes and sizes. I don’t mind having a little tummy action because I am learning to accept my body every day. However, I love wearing pieces of clothes that flatter my body and accentuate my curves. I have shared a few tips on this post here on how to wear a pleated skirt when you are plus size. All these tips still apply today, so instead of repeating myself, I thought I would share some outfit ideas and a few tips about drawing attention to your best assets if you feel like your stomach area isn’t one. Everything below is shoppable, but the goal is for you to recreate these outfits with your own pieces.
Here are four ways to wear a pleated skirt when you are plus size to cleverly draw attention away from your tummy.
Pair Your Pleated Skirt With A Peplum Top
If you are looking for an easy way to hide your tummy in a pleated skirt get yourself a cute peplum top. Peplums are a must-have in my closet because the cut is classic and never goes out of style. The bottom of the top is very forgiving and the attention is drawn to your waist instead of your tummy. As shown in the picture above, I paired this plus-size pleated skirt with two tops (left, right) that are both peplums but cut slightly differently. Below, I’ve linked a few other options you can add to your wardrobe. Will you try this look? If you do let me know it worked for you. Feel free to be a little adventurous and add a little belt to accentuate your waist.
Try A Monochromatic Look
I never saw a monochromatic look I did not like. It makes you look taller and works every time. In case you are wondering what a monochromatic look is, well it’s when you wear the same color head to toe. It’s always better to break it a bit with colors that are the same but slightly different or different textures. This outfit is one of my absolute favorite looks and every time I share it on my social media everyone goes crazy. And yes, I do have a tummy but you can hardly notice it.
Cover It Up With A Blazer Or sweater
Blazer
Don’t be afraid to wear your pleated skirt with a long blazer. The look above is a chic work outfit.
Sweater
A long chunky or oversize sweater with a pleated skirt is a classic combo that never goes out of style and the perfect combo to hide your tummy. The experts say that when you wear something flowy at the bottom, wear something tight on the top like the blazer look above, but here we like to break the rules. Feel free to trade t with high knee boots or white sneakers
