Burp. Hiccup. Burp. If you're anything like us right about now, then you probably feel like a beached whale and have absolutely no intention of doing anything about your waistline until at least February. Maybe.
But fear not, no need to try and squidge yourself into punishing skinny jeans - we've found a whole bunch of cool stuff that you can buy with your Xmas money that has a totally expandable, elasticated waist. So pick up your next mince pie and smile.
The Maternity Trouser For Non Pregnant People
One of the main things I look forward to about being pregnant one day is the trousers that have those kangaroo panels that just look so damn comfortable. But now you don't have to do the whole nappy and sleepless nights malarkey to get the same insane comfiness - meet Whistles' elasticated jodhpur trousers that you can wear with knee high boots and under a massive slouchy jumper, achieving complete stealth stomach.
Trousers, £115, Whistles
The Savvy Midi Skirt
Want to wear a leather look skirt without feeling like Ross in Friends during the talcum powder in the bathroom episode? Then MSGM is your answer. This knee length skirt has an elasticated waist that you can hide under a sweater no problem.
Skirt, £177.24, MSGM at Farfetch.com
The Swish Pair Of Trousers
Thought elasticated things meant slouchy and slobbish? Well these trousers are silk. Yup, silk. And designed by one of the most sophisticated, masters of minimalism that fashion has ever known. If you've got an interview in January, and want to hide the bulge, you can't go wrong with these babies.
Trousers, £295, Phillip Lim 3.1 at Avenue32.com

**A Sexy But Expandable Jumper Dress **
This jumper dress is genius - normally knitted dresses cling to every curve, but this one has an elasticated waist that will sit on your tum, with the bodice panel folding over a bit to give the illusion of a waist. Winning.
Dress, £38, Asos.com
The Work Dress You Can Eat A Big Lunch In
Think LBD, but waist friendly. You can wear this little number to work, and then throw on some heeled boots for a post-work date. Boom.
Dress, £90, American Vintage at Netaporter.com
The Secretly Elasticated Jeans
Peeling off your pyjamas (or in my case, a care bear onesie) post Xmas and trying to put your jeans back on is one of the most sigh-inducing things about January. So I suggest you don't bother - spend a tenner on these jeans from Tesco (you can buy them when you buy more food) that have a stretchy waist, and you don't have to do the annual skinny denim reckoning.
Jeans, £10, Florence & Fred at Tesco
