Transcript

Crystal Waddell 0:02 So, okay, let's just talk about that elephant in the room of the belly, right? Because I think like, even I, at this point, my son is young, but you know, I'm a little nervous about, you know, my midsection right now, you know, and I would love to possibly drop a few pounds. But if I, if I couldn't, and I was just, you know, as I am right now, and I wanted to kind of bring that belly in, do you have any tips on bottoms or like flattering styles for women who are self conscious about the midsection?

Carrie Hagee 0:39 Yeah, I think try to stick with a flat front pant. And then you know, if you're, if you're also, if you're, if you're someone who would wear like a wide leg pant, you're, you know, that, that's a flattering pant. I think I think one thing that that women need to get away from the idea is that wearing my clothes bigger, wearing them boxier is going to conceal what's underneath. And it actually has the opposite effect, it actually makes you look bigger, but people you know, women do it to try to conceal.

The best thing you can do is try to accentuate the waist. Now what I mean by that is accentuating the smallest part of your waist. That's, that's, that's a big difference. So, you know, say for example, say you want to wear a dress, and it's just a straight dress, it's gonna look so boxy, there's no shape, find the smallest part of your waist and add a belt there, or add some sort of tie, you know, to kind of bring that in, it's not going to make your you don't, you don't cinch it so much that you're like, you know, it's squeezing in, but you want it to come in a little bit. That is actually going to have a slimming effect. And so, I mean, adding about talking in and adding about helps, always helps.

So, I mean, those are some ideas of as far as pants go. And I know some people may not want to hear this, but a skinny pants, skinny jeans, a skinny pant are flattering on all body shapes. So they're very much still in. Well, I think I think that the skinny pant and the skinny jean will always be in style, because they're the most flattering on every body shape. So, there's something called a Ponte pant. And I recommend this a lot. So it really looks great on everyone. And it's kind of got that, that skinny leg, but it's not so constr-, you know, constricting as sometimes the the jeans can be. So try to look for that. It's called a Ponte pant and you can search you know, different stores or search a store that you like, and search Ponte pant, they sometimes they call it, you know, seven, eight pant, you know or something like that. And see and just take a look at it, try you know, a couple sizes.

You know, a lot of times they'll have, you can check your measurements on there and see, but there's a little bit of stretch to them. And some of them have pockets in the back. And they're just really comfortable and really flattering.

So, you know, you can always add, the only thing I would say is you don't want like really big pockets that stick out on the side. Because some pants you'll get and then the pockets, you know, you'll sit down or you know you're standing and then you've got these extra pocket flaps on the side, you know. Or like really, really thick pleats in the front, if you have a bigger belly. You don't want those big pleats in the front that, because they tend to like bulge up.

Crystal Waddell 4:20 This is wonderful! I could just sit here and I'm like, Ponte pant! You know, as soon as I get off this call, I'm gonna go look it up! Is it Ponte? You said Ponte pant?

Carrie Hagee: Yes, yes. P-O-N-T-E.
