I got myself a sleeveless hoodie which is decent enough to hide things
Or if small enough you could try tape although can be trial and error. I’ve had some success however only managed to reduce it rather than flatten completely
Ooh, I wish I could wear hoodies in warm weather! I have zero tolerance for warm weather (like, anything over 70F and I start taking off layers). Tape is a good thought, but I think I'm too big and floppy for it to work, tbph. I also usually have trouble keeping anything strapless from bouncing, sliding down, or both.
... but if I did try tape, possibly with tape "straps," what kind of tape? I know kinesio tape is supposed to have very firm hold, but I've never tried to use it.
Hawaiian or guayabera shirts are good summer counterparts to hoodies! You can wear them alone or unbuttoned over a muscle shirt. I still wear a binder under that but I can get away with one that's a size too big so there's more air circulation.
I love those! I wear them open over a black T-shirt (for camouflage) most of the summer, partly for silhouette, partly because I like having my torso covered in giant flowers etc (my signature everyday style is best summarized as “dad jokes,” lol). And it definitely helps, but I find I sometimes get “ma’am”ed by people who only see me from the side in those, because I just have too much of a balcony going on for a shirt to drape on.
