Hey there!
Im going to give you some advice with tricks I use cause I too am a curvy girl with dready love-handles. And while everyone above is correct with their advice, some things arent practical or kight not fit your fashion trend.
What I do is
1. Wear jeans with higher rises, that way they hide or tuck away your handles. I do this because I cant do the wide leg jeans because Im not that tall so they dont flatter me.
2. I love bright colors and darker colors make me look dead and dreary. SO what I do is, wear tops that draw the eyes away from your midsection. Wear something with a lower cut or just something that will draw the attention of someone to your face, your ears, even your feet.
3. I used to slouch and my mom made me take these almost ettiquette like classes (minus the table manners and dancing). They stressed the importance of always standing and sitting upright and never slouching; like you have a string in the top of your head thats always being pulled upwards. It might sound silly, but when you slouch your weight is distributed downwards toward your tummy area so when you sit upright its is dispersed more evenly and reducing the appearence of love handles.
4. Also, the dreaded mistake I used to make was to try and hide them. By attempting to hide them (whether in bigger clothes or smaller clothes) I just drew more attention to my flaw. Instead make sure your clothes fit comfortably; too tight and they appear bigger and too big makes them more noticeable, so the key is with pants make sure you can fit two fingers in the waist line comfortable and tops make sure you can fit a thin tank top underneath.
Lastly, confidence is the key. When you walk or anything else, do it with confidence as if those love handles dont exist. If you dont acknowledge them no one else will notice them.
