Wondering what are the best skirts for plus size and fat tummy? Well, you’re not alone sis.
As a girl who has a bloated belly 24/7, I am obsessed with finding the right skirts that flatter my figure and the journey is still going on.
I kid you not – a pink striped bodycon can literally add 2 pounds when you look in the mirror and that almost feels like you are gaslighted by the skirt.
We definitely don’t want that.
Ahead, I’ve gathered 8 types of skirts (19 looks) that are flattering for plus size and fat tummies that are as stylish as it’s forgiving to wear.
Enjoy my loves!
1. Peplum skirt for plus size
Alright, let’s start with my favorite – a peplum skirt.
Seriously, regardless of your body shape, you need to get one as it’s SUPER forgiving.
Featuring the extra stripe of fabric gathered around the wrist, it just camouflages your mid-section area flawlessly.
The best part?
The slightly flared-out design just sculpts the hourglass figure effortlessly and makes you look the best!
This purple peplum skirt is just as elegant as it’s effortlessly to wear.
If you are bloated during your period and looking for the right skirt for date night – this one is your bestie.
Of course, the same concept goes with the peplum top.
If you have some bodycon or pencil skirt that has been collecting dust, pair that up with a peplum top and you’re good to go!
2. Front split denim skirt
If you think denim skirts are off-limit for plus size and fat tummy, well, think again.
When you wear sturdy, durable weaved fabric like denim, it just naturally sculpts the belly and smooths things out.
Of all, I’d say the front split denim skirt is my favorite.
Not only it look stylish, but the inverted V line just draws your eyes vertically and makes you appear taller and smaller visually.
Another must-have – an elastic waist skirt for 100% comfort!
If you want to hide the waistband, consider adding a belt!
3. Asymmetrical skirt
Same with the front split denim skirt I’ve mentioned above, an asymmetrical skirt can create a slimming effect that works for plus size and big tummy.
Isn’t this skirt hem design just ultra-feminine and subtly sassy?
Whenever I go to a cocktail event, an asymmetrical skirt is my go-to.
As a budget-friendly pick, I love this high-low skirt.
Together with the sassy spaghetti strap heels, you are bound to turn heads in this statement skirt!
4. When in doubt, go monochrome
Guess what, color plays a huge role when it comes to creating a slimming illusion.
While a pleated skirt can slightly add volume to the lower body, style it in a monotone outfit just to balance out the heaviness.
The reason behind this is that wearing similar shades from head to toe creates a long rectangular for the figure and elongates your figure visually.
So yes, if you want to create a streamlined silhouette that exudes confidence and sophistication, try out monochrome looks!
This is one of the most effortless ways to look high fashion in my opinion.
5. Match the shades
As for the girlies who think monotone is too “loud” for you, you can do it in a subtle way!
From matching the toe and shoes in the same (or similar) shades, you can still enjoy the elongating effect from head to toe.
Styling tip: 3-color rule (except black and white)
To look put together, try not to combine more than three colors in your outfit in one go.
When you put too many different colors on the body, it creates multiple color blocks on your body and makes you appear shorter.
6. Tulle skirt for big tummy
For the girly girls out there, I get it, you want to wear tulle skirts.
While they can be tricky to wear, they can be flattering when you pick the right one!
Instead of going for this kind of tulle skirt which drags the body.
Try out this type of tulle skirt with irregular seams.
Isn’t this just feel way lighter?
Together with the high heels, this look is a 10/10.
7. Ruched slimming skirts to hide tummy
Another favorite – the ruched skirts.
It just hides the tummy perfectly and looks chic at the same time.
This skirt literally hides all the belly rolls and flatters the legs in the best possible way.
I bought this one myself and I am now wearing this like a uniform.
8. Handle that print skirt
Last but not least, let’s talk about print skirts.
While they are not the most forgiving to wear, they are certainly the most fun to wear and we shouldn’t cut them out at all cost.
To stay sleek in prints, pairing up the color of the top with your print skirt will do the trick.
It seems subtle but pairing a lavender top with this floral print (pink, green, and lavender) skirt can really give out an extending effect and make it like a set.
