Holiday weight gain happens to almost everyone, but don’t worry it will level out in a few weeks. So, to get you through this time we have some simple tips.

1. Wear wider, trouser cut pants – Just because you can zip your “skinny” pants doesn’t mean it’s OK to wear them. If they are tight, or pulling, they will make you look like you’ve gained more weight than you actually have. Go with a more relaxed style, but don’t go baggy or sloppy. You want to maintain structure, just don’t go too tight.

2. Wear a blousen top. Belt it if you want to show more curves. Avoid going for the super-tight t-shirt or sweater.

3. A longer cardigan will elongate you, and make you look slimmer. However, don’t over-layer. You don’t want to pile on the clothing to try to hide the weight – just slightly mask it for a bit.

Basically, you don’t want to wear clothing that will make you feel bad about your weight. Give yourself a break from self-loathing for a few weeks. Let you’re body get back into it’s normal routine, and with a little exercise, you’ll be back before you know it.
