The simplest and the smartest way to conceal all the extra kilos is by layering. If you are to wear a kurta to work, layer it with a short jacket. Wear palazzo instead of leggings on the kurta. While selecting the kurta, make sure it is tight on the bust and loose below. This will give an illusion of a well-fitted kurta while subtly hiding what you want hidden! While no one will be able to understand that you gained weight, they sure will think your fashion game got elevated!
Loosen It Up With Skirt

Who said formals meant restricting to tight skirts with a slit on the side? Accordion skirts are also well with the boundaries of formals especially when paired with a loose semi-formal blazer and a white shirt! The best part about this skirt is that the pleats in the skirt completely conceal what’s underneath it. Since the skirt is slightly flared, it will not stick to your lower belly or your back and yet make you look like a boss lady!
Colour Coordinate With Comfy Formals

You can rock the blazer and trouser look with a loose set, that is made just to make you feel comfortable. Wear a shirt/top inside, well-fitted trousers and a loose semi-formal blazer. Since the blazer is semi-formal no one is going to check if your shoulder pads are well fitted to your shoulders or not and you can opt for a loose one! The single colour of the entire outfit will trick people and not reveal the extra flabs that got added to your look!

Who said formal pants always include fitting trousers? Wear a white shirt, tuck it inside a palazzo and wear high heels. Wear your palazzo above your belly button. Not only are high-waisted pants in fashion but this will also make sure the palazzos don’t expose your belly fat. If you do not want to wear shirts, you can also pair palazzos with kurtas and still look apt for the office!

Conceal It With A Sweater
The one look that is extremely formal in its appearance yet perfect for those of us who do not want our tummies to pop out is this one! Wear a collared shirt, formal pants and a solid coloured sweater. Make sure the pullover is black/white/cream. Any other colour will make it too tacky. Apart from that, take the collar out and let them be seen, tuck your shirt in and let your sweater be tucked out. The pullover will make you look smart, ready to ace your meetings yet hide the pandemic gain!
