Flabby upper arms are a problem, a PITA, and an embarrassment for many women. Although I love body-positivity, I myself don't yet have enough to bare my upper arms in public, so this post is for me as much as it is for my chicken wing sisters. You don't have to stick to just one look any longer. There are all sorts of other ways to dress like a true fashionista without feeling uncomfortable every time you lift your arms.

1. Cover It All up
Here's one potential fix for your flabby upper arm problem, although I daresay that this is one we're all aware of already. It gets kind of tiring, especially when it's particularly warm outside and you're stuck, but it definitely works.
2. Off the Shoulder is Your Look
Just because you don't want to bare your upper arms doesn't mean you can't bare your arms at all, you know. Choose a top or a dress that shows off one or both shoulders and you'll look like the goddess you are.
Frequently asked questions
3. Choose a Bra That Fits Beautifully
This may not make your arms look smaller or more toned, but it does help. I can't explain it, but when your bra fits properly, your whole upper half just looks a little better.
4. Find the Right Necklines for You
A flattering neckline draws attention away from all your problem areas. It also makes you feel beautiful and confident, which will transform your entire look.
5. Shift the Focus from Your Arms
There are lots of ways to do this, it all depends on your style. You can choose interesting silhouettes, eye-catching patterns, flattering cuts, or signature accents, and that's just for starters.
6. Small Prints Work Great
Speaking of prints and patterns, they're ideal for drawing the eye away from the areas you don't like. Actually, a short sleeve top that features a small print may even make you feel confident enough to bare your upper arms a little.
7. More Layers
Layers can do the same thing.
