Style ideas for big post partum tum

I'm 10m post partum after second baby - belly has always been big but the last pregnancy (42 weeks + 9lb baby) really did a number on me. I'm now a size 18-20 on top until you get to my waist /belly then I'm a 24. Legs are lovely and slim and my best feature.

Up until now I've been existing in leggings and long tops / jumpers but everything is starting to look tired and old and I need to update my style. I ordered a load of Beyond Nine trousers convinced they would make me look amazing but I just looked enormous.

I'm now thinking that this spring / summer is going to be all about leggings again and maybe dresses?! I want to hide my tum while I work on losing weight.

Can anyone recommend any stylish outfits , brands or pieces? Budget is high street although happy to invest in anything really versatile.

Hey I also put on weight after my second baby especially in the belly area sighhh! I try go with loose fitting high waisted trousers with a wide leg. Oversized t shirts, shirts, you can style them open or off the shoulder type thing. With dresses I try go for things that can be ruffled around the stomache. Shein and primark have decent bits. Regardless I’m sure you’ll look lovely x
