Bring The Attention Upwards
Aside from covering or showing off your hips, you can keep the eyes off your hips and more on your top. What we mean by this is wearing tops that help bring out your chest area so the attention is drawn upwards. This is perfect for women who love showing off their chest or shoulders instead of their bottom. Ways to do this are by buying v-neck clothes or off-the-shoulder tops that will highlight that region.
Also, you can wear over-the-top blouses with fun designs and patterns. When wearing an over-the-top blouse or v-neck stick to wearing casual pants, or black pants as they help give a thinner appearance. Everyone knows that whenever you wear something black it helps the area look smaller than it is.
A- Line Dresses For Wide Hips
One kind of dress that is perfect for wide hips is an A-line or straight dress. A-line dresses sit just above your hips and flare out, with a hem much wider than its shoulders. The reason, why you should invest, is because this dress helps cover up the hip area a little since it isn’t too tight on your shape and helps cover up your insecurities in that region.
Wearing A-line dresses are perfect for occasions like weddings and baby showers. Also, they come in different styles and lengths such as maxi, midi, or mini depending on your preference and style.
Wrap Dresses Are Fun Too
The final tip is also investing in some wrap dresses which are perfect for wide hips. A wrap dress is a common dress you have definitely seen, it comes with two sides wrapping around each other and then being tied on the side. This dress is flattering for women who are heavier in the hip area because the style of the dress falls nicely on the hips. Aside from this, it will also help bring attention to your waist since it is tied there, instead of your hips being center stage.
Ways to style a wrap dress are by buying ones with fun prints on them for the summer. Also, you can style a wrap dress for your figure by wearing a nice pair of heels that will highlight your gorgeous legs.
