14 Trendy Sweaters That Magically Disguise Muffin Top

In theory, sweaters should be the coziest articles of clothing in our wardrobe, but if they don’t fit right, they can lead to far more tugging, scratching and fussing than they’re worth. The perfect sweater is soft, warm and — if we can help it — flattering, which is going to have a different meaning for different people. If you’re self-conscious about your waist, we hear you — and we’re here for you.

This cuddly collection is chock-full of the best sweaters for your body type. We picked pullovers, cardigans, dusters and more, in a whole range of colors, patterns and fabrics. The least expensive one on the list is just $12! They vary greatly in style and have one thing in common: They’ll make you feel incredibly confident.

14 Trendy Fashion Finds That Disguise Muffin Top

Patterned and Proud

1. Take a Bow: Eye-catching patterns can obscure problem areas, and that’s just what this mustard-colored sweater does with its chicly busy fabric featuring hearts and bows.

2. Almost Ombre: We want to snuggle up in this fuzzy, horizontal-striped sweater that fades from purple to green to pink. Bonus: The boxy silhouette leaves some breathing room around the waistline.

3. True Stripes: If vertical stripes suit you better, check out this cozy crewneck number. It comes in seven colors, and we’re completely smitten with the navy hue.

Neutral Territory

4. That’s a Wrap: This elegant wrap sweater gives the illusion of a cinched waist but doesn’t actually fit too snugly around that region. It’s the perfect style to whisk you from daytime into night.

5. Oversized and Underpriced: Complete with a collar, this roomy sweater is as low as $12. For that price, you might as well buy one in all 14 colors!

6. No Sleeves, No Prob: If you want to flash your arms but not your midriff, try a relaxed sweater vest. This woven basic looks so sophisticated when it’s French-tucked into boyfriend jeans or trousers.

7. Cable Knit Cutie: This loose-fitting, fisherman-style sweater is currently available at the unbeatable price of $35. Rory Gilmore would be proud!

8. Must-Have Duster: This dashing duster does away with any insecurities by covering your entire backside. This wardrobe essential is classy and relaxed — but not as much as you are while wearing it.

9. In Stitches: The boxy fit of this pullover sweater is complementary to all body types. The bold white stitching down the sleeves makes it stand out from the others in your closet.

10. Zip It: This zippered knit cardigan is 90s nostalgia in a sweater. Hark back your younger years, and feel incredibly confident while you do it.

11. Off-the-Shoulder Chic: Feel confident showing off some skin with this off-the-shoulder piece. It’s soft enough for lounging but stylish enough for just about everything else.

Some Frills

12. Bows, Not Buttons: It’s impossible not to hop on the bow bandwagon. This open-front sweater, fastened by ties rather than buttons, is sweet as can be. The pink and sky blue options are our favorites.

13. Scalloped Stunner: A wavy trim gives this timeless silhouette a welcome update, without affecting the flattering cut. Plus, it’s available in 24 colors, including a few striped variations.

14. Crochet All Day: This yellow bell-sleeved beauty looks straight from the summer of love. With a bralette or tank underneath, it’s flirty without being too form-fitting.
