I love dolman tops. I really do. It's essential to my personal style, not just because I find it aesthetically pleasing but because it's the ultimate "muffinator" (ermm.... It gets rid of my muffin top). This is why I've been dependent on them for quite sometime.

You can see this top in action here as well:

Yet somehow, I can't get them to work with these flares.

I should've posted a side view photo of me because the fit of these AE flares are killer: probably the best-fitting pair I have. However, the jeans got frumpified by the top. Too much volume, perhaps?

I've been struggling to pair these flares with a top that doesn't overemphasize the muffin. It's been tough. Cowl necks do a decent job in muffin concealment but sometimes, the muffin just spills out! Semi-tucking fluid button downs make me feel like a man and I struggle with finding tailored jackets that actually curve in to my natural waist. Argh, to be a squishy bellied one!

I managed to purchase a fluid dolman sweater for the flares though, and will be attempting Angie's fluid knitwear + flares look in the future. So my flares finally have a top I can wear it with.
