In our “Ask Guido” series, our readers address the fashion icon directly. Today: Guido Maria Kretschmer gives styling tips for women with rounded stomachs.

Wouldn’t we all like to have a personal Guido Maria Kretschmer? In our series “Ask Guido” we come as close as possible to this dream. Whatever you have always wanted to know from Guido – be it styling advice, a decoration tip or help with other things – you will be helped here. You can find out how to send your questions to Guido here.

This time, Guido is dedicated to Alexandra, who addresses the designer with a “problem area” that some of us may be familiar with: in the course of life, the middle of the body is often joined by a pound or two of belly. And that feels so comfortable in our presence that, to use Alexandra’s words, it’s not that easy to “magic away”. It doesn’t matter, because Guido Maria Kretschmer has several fashion tips in stock.

Ask Guido: How do I dress if I have “more belly”?

“Hello Guido.

I’m 172cm tall and have a big belly (you can’t magic it away, the rest takes time). Guido says at SQ emphasize the waist (…?….) with a belt. But that looks doooooooof to me. So rather sack? 😉 Maybe there is an alternative in between.

Greetings Alexandra”

That’s what Guido Maria Kretschmer says

“Yes, of course there are alternatives! You can go for a high waist, for example. You just shouldn’t wear wide belts.

The big question is of course: How are breasts and legs doing? Well, if you now have narrow legs, then it’s actually perfect: It’s very important that you narrow the bottom and don’t continue the topic of ‘more belly’. That there are no hangers. No ruffled stories, no big patterns that naturally stand out in the stomach area.

And you can still play with the waist a bit: by working with layering. Small boxy jackets that end at waist height can be good because they create exactly this effect.

If you have a lot of breasts, you can do it very nicely by showing cleavaget. Statement jewelery can also look very beautiful.”

Guido’s no-gos

“So you shouldn’t rely on too much bright color in the middle. And rather not go too much into the girlish doll image. Clean, modern, reserved stories are better.

If you were going to be wearing skinny clothes now, then shapewear is an advantage because it gives you a bit of a waistline. But, of course, be careful not to suffocate!
