For years I’ve been telling you about the Power of the Tuck or Half-Tuck to define your waist and elongate your legs. But the reality is—the tuck (or even the half-tuck) doesn’t always work and isn’t always the “magic answer.”
In last week’s Tipsy Tuesday, I shared simple, no-tuck outfit formulas that flatter a menopause middle or short waist—no shapewear, no squeezing, and no oversized tops required.
✅ Here’s a quick recap of the tips I shared:
👉🏼 Choose tops that hit at or just below the hip bone. Try different lengths and use the mirror selfie to find your personal sweet spot.
👉🏼 Look for curved hems, split hems, or subtle shaping to avoid a boxy look.
👉🏼 Add an open third piece—like a cardigan, jacket, or vest—for instant shape and balance.
👉🏼 Try tops with built-in shape like faux wraps, ruching, or empire seams.
👉🏼 Pair looser tops with slimmer bottoms to keep proportions in check.
👉🏼 Use accessories like a necklace or statement earrings to draw the eye up.
