How to Style the Capsule
One thing I love about this capsule is how easily a single item can do double or even triple duty. For instance, the striped vest can be worn solo on hot days, layered over the white shirt when it cools down, or tucked into high-waist trousers for a more polished look. This means you can create way more outfits options than the 9 shown below.

A Note on Fabric and Fit
Not all clothes are made equal especially when it comes to comfort and flattering the tummy. So If you’re shopping for pieces like the ones above, look for materials with a soft drape like linen-viscose blends, light cotton poplin, or knits with a bit of weight. And when it comes to waistbands, elasticized backs or flat fronts with side zips often give a smoother, more flattering look without discomfort.
How to Accessorize Without Adding Bulk
Women with tummy concerns often avoid accessories, but the truth is the right ones can elevate and help you feel pulled together without drawing attention to your midsection. As shown above,soft silk scarves (tied on your bag or neck), slim belts worn high on the waist over a wrap top, and crossbody bags that sit just right, not across the widest part of your belly – can make a big difference.
How to Create Balance in an Outfit (If You’re Inverted Triangle or Have a Tummy)
If you carry weight in your tummy and have broader shoulders (hello, inverted triangle), the trick is to soften your top half and add gentle volume below. That’s why this capsule includes wide-leg trousers and shorts with a bit of structure because they ground the look. Tucking the wrap top or layering with the knit vest also helps draw the eye upward without adding width.
