Tops that flatter a thick waist

[whatisforteamum]

Almost 60.Always kept slim size 10 until the last few years.
I'm about 9 stone 8 but it's my waist that is thicker.
Size 12 now and struggling with tops as I always wore fitted ribbed long sleeve ones in autumn.
I've got some lovely jumpers just need in between tops as
.Help I've lost my way and trying to beat the bulge.

I could have written this post Op! Really interested in replies as also a bit lost!

Me too! I’m 65 & for the first time in my life (other than pregnancies) I have a thickened waist and protruding tum. The tops I have that look best on me are empire line, or smock style: fitted over the bust, slimmest just underneath the bust & the gently flared.

The current trend for peplum tops would be ideal. I also saw some wrap tops in new look recently, it's not somewhere I would usually shop but thought they looked flattering.

I have the Hush Emily top, which is flattering for the larger tummy. Sorry can't link, but you can look it up.

I have one of the new look ones.
It's so annoying as I've gained about 4or 5 lbs.
Peplum tops sound good.😊
