How to Dress Your Perimenopause Body with Style is a 41-page PDF style guide for women whose favorite clothes started fitting differently in their 40s. The scale didn't move, but your jeans did. It shows you how to dress the body you have today, using three simple principles: define the waist gently, skim instead of cling, and create long vertical lines.
What's inside the style guide
- Understanding your shape: why the midsection changes in midlife and the common wardrobe frustrations
- Style foundations: fabrics that skim, cuts that flatter (empire, A-line, wrap) and the power of vertical lines
- Tops and layers: flattering necklines, blouses and knitwear
- Bottoms and dresses: pants, jeans, skirts and easy dresses
- Shapewear and smoothing: comfortable support that works under everything
- Color, print and accessories that draw the eye where you want it
- Your capsule wardrobe, for getting dressed with ease every day
Who it's for
- Your favorite clothes started fitting differently in your 40s

Questions about this guide
How do you dress a perimenopause belly?
Define your waist gently (wrap tops, empire lines, a belt worn a little higher), choose fabrics that skim instead of cling, and build long vertical lines with open layers or one color head to toe. The guide shows how to apply this to tops, jeans and dresses. Our article with 12 outfit ideas for a changing belly is a good free start.
What should I wear under my clothes?
A smooth, comfortable base layer helps fabric fall evenly. Our Perimenopause Belly Shaping Brief is a high-waisted everyday brief that gently smooths the lower belly under your clothes. It does not change your body.
