5 Stylish ways to hide a muffin top

I love the holidays, but I hate the dreaded muffin top that many times comes with it. You know what I'm talking about chicas, those chichos also known as "love handles" that bulge out of pants, jeans, and even skirts. There's absolutely nothing to love about this excess skin that would make even the most confident woman feel self-conscious. It's especially annoying during the holidays when you want to look extra cute. Don't want to curb your diet this season? Don't stress! Use your wardrobe to banish it instead!

A pair of jeans that hits much lower than your belly button is a muffin top disaster waiting to happen. Try a pair of mid-rise jeans instead. They flatter most figures and also work to tuck in your tummy. High waisted styles on the other hand can leave you with that terrible "mommy jeans" effect, and you don't want that either!

Try longer tops
