These! I got them on eBay $9.00! Very thin light weight but not thin 'cheap' Just put a tee under and hides a multitude of sins. I can send you the sellers link if you are interested! I love them!

I wear high waist Maria by J Brand. In Starless (dark wash) they are fantastic. Don't be discouraged by how they look. They are fabulous, so comfortable ad make me feel like a rock star. I can wear them for dressy or casual, with flats or boots. Really worth every penny. I also wash them maybe only 2-3 times a year. I just take them off as soon as I get home. Do you know if those are only skinny leg jeans?

Do you know if those are only skinny leg jeans? Yes, they are skinny. But j brand makes other high waisted jeans.
I have tried on the Paige denim Hoxton straight legs and they're really nice. But I bought the Horton skinny jeans - I just felt slimmer with a slimmer silhouette.

$345 for a tunic? ?? That better melt the fat and tan my stomach as well. That's what I was going to say. Wow! That price is insane! Who pays that for a shirt?

I think the trick is to get something loose enough to skim over the midsection, but not so loose that it looks like an old school maternity top. I find dresses and tops that are sort of straight through the waist can hide belly fat.

I think the key is to not wear shirts that are tight around the belly. I am having a hard time finding shirts cut that are loose around the belly but aren't so loose at the bottom. I like the Eddie Bauer T shirts. How can we get rid of this darn belly fat anyway!

First of all, you're right op - none of those women even have belly fat.
Secondly, I couldn't get past the 3rd look. The first shirt w/the band directly under the boobs would accentuate my stomach even more and the pants? I have serious belly fat, so there's no way I'm tucking anything in.
Thirdly, I have tried just about everything over the years and have found very few things that work. Too flowy looks like maternity, too fitted makes me look bigger. Layering sometimes works, but I'm in 50 w/menopause just around the corner and too many layers is just too hot for me sometimes. <sigh>
Linda lou, thanx for that link - I will definitely be trying those!

I've tried a few of those styles and they didn't really help. But we all have different issues. I lost a few pounds but it wasn't around the waistline, it was in thighs.

I got a few peasant type tops from Old Navy with the little elastic at the bottom. They dont accentuate the belly fat. I mean, I still look heavy, but you cant see every roll.

I buy those same tanks. I can usually get them super cheap at Burlington (about $6 each). They are wonderful. Since I've lost a lot of weight I have loose belly skin, these help hold it in and give a smooth appearance. Also a great push up padded bra makes a world of difference for me. If my girls are extra perky my belly doesn't show as much! LOL
