A FASHION expert has shared the two styles of trousers you should ditch from your wardrobe if you want to hide your stomach.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with flaunting your curves, but for those days you want to cover up, her advice is a must.
Chi Li took to YouTube to explain why the trousers are a bad idea – but don't worry, there are a couple of alternatives you can rock instead.
The first trend you should avoid are leather leggings, no matter than brand or colour, they're always going to cling to all the wrong places.
Chi tried on a nude pair to show why they're a big no-no, then compared them to a pair of faux leather straight leg trousers to show what you can wear instead.
Because of the thicker material of the trousers they skimmed over her stomach, rather than drawing attention to it.

"This will balance out your shape," she noted.
You might also want to chuck out any trousers with a chunky elastic band.
"This will not flatter your stomach," the fashionista said.
That doesn't mean you can enjoy the comfort of an elastic waistband though.

Some trousers have a waist band which is hidden and won't draw so much attention to your belly.
You can go for ones that are only elasticated at the back for a more flattering fit, or styles with a belt you can use to disguise the ruched elastic.
After sharing her tips on YouTube other fashion fans thanks Chi for her advice.
One said: "Totally agree! I never wear front zip fly pants. I haven't worn jeans in years. It's always flat front side zip pants for me!"
A second agreed: "No one should wear leather leggings."
"I live in my leather trousers, leggings are giving 2012, good tips, thanks," another wrote.
