Your body is not the problem. The clothes just need to cooperate.
If you have ever put on an outfit and immediately started tugging, smoothing, and side eyeing yourself in the mirror, this is for you. Not because anything needs "fixing," but because you deserve pieces that feel good and look good without you thinking about them all day.
Let’s talk tummy, arms, and that whole hips and thighs situation with kindness, real life tips, and a few go to pieces from Ava Lane that do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Tummy
Support feels better than sucking it in.
If your tummy is the area you notice first, look for denim that gives gentle structure. The win is a waistband that stays put and a fit that feels secure when you sit, bend, and live your actual life.
Two easy confidence builders
-
Mid rise flare with tummy control
If you want that legs for days vibe without feeling restricted, a mid rise flare can be magic. The Gwen from Lovervet Mid Rise Tummy Control Flare Denim is built for that, and it comes in three inseam options so you can actually get the length right. -
High rise bootcut with tummy control
If you love a classic shape that works with everything, The Rachel by Lovervet High Rise Tummy Control Bootcut is the kind of jean you can build outfits around. It’s designed with a smoothing tummy control panel and a secure zip fly closure.
Little styling trick that works every time
Do a soft front tuck with a basic top. It gives shape without clinging, and it keeps the outfit from feeling "all denim, no plan."
Arms
Most of the time it is not your arms. It is the sleeves.
If you feel weird about your arms, you are usually reacting to fabric that clings, rides up, or feels too thin. The fix is a top that skims and feels substantial, so you can move around without adjusting it every two minutes.
Start here:
The ALB Custom Better Than Basics collection is full of easy everyday tops, including long sleeve scoop necks, v-necks, ribbed styles, and waffle knit options in sizes XS - 3 XL. These are the pieces you throw on and instantly feel more put together.
Confidence move
Add one layer on top when you want extra coverage, like a vest or jacket. It makes the whole look feel intentional and takes the mental load off getting dressed.
Hips and thighs
Balance beats hiding. Always.
When hips and thighs feel like the area you notice, the goal is a clean line. Flares and bootcuts help because they balance proportions and keep the outfit from feeling tight in one spot and loose in another.
