Forget tying a sweatshirt around your waist during your period. Looking good is one of the key ingredients to feeling great while you're on your period. And this season's hottest fashions can help you do it. Even if you're battling the bloat, here are some tips to help you dress to impress - while keeping comfort in check.
Pleasant peasant. Go for the billowy peasant blouse. They're hobo chic and they hide a multitude of sins. To pull off this look all you'll need is a great pair of jeans or even a fabulous mini and some sandals.
The empire strikes back. Empire waists are back and better than ever. This year's dresses are short and high-waisted which does three things: shows off your legs, hides your tummy and makes you feel like you're lounging in your jammies all day, or night, long. You can wear these babies anywhere, anytime and just about anyplace. Just dress them up with a sexy heel or dress them down with a wedge sandal.
Make 'em sweat it. Hoodie sweat suits are the ultimate in comfort. Go for this look when running errands or hanging with your girls. Pair your favourite sweat suit with sparkly tennis shoes and sleek satchel - definitely not the one from the gym.
Cover it up. Shrunken blazers and fitted cardigans are in! Good news, especially when you're on your period. Be careful not to wear a bulky shirt underneath them, thin camisoles work best. And pair them with your favorite pair of jeans or even capris.
Ruffle some feathers. Soft, sexy ruffles are a hit. And they can work wonders for the gal on her period. Large tiered ruffles across your midriff will diminish any excess water weight you're carrying and you'll look great too.
Go with the flow. Flowy, flirty fabrics are all the rage and they're great for maximizing comfort while minimizing the PMS pooch. To amp up the style, wear flowy shirts with peasant skirts or your favourite pair of jeans.
