Shopping for the right clothes for your curvaceous figure can be tricky. After all, most regular brands don’t carry enough sizes and there are very few that specialize in plus size clothing. In this post, we will be talking about style and fashion in regards to plus size. These are the things you need to know no matter what size you wear!
The basics:
1. First things first, don’t wear black because it makes you look thinner. While the concept itself isn’t bad, it’s past and doesn’t make much sense anymore. Instead, go for colors that really flatter you and are in style everywhere, including pastels, pinks, and even stripes.
2. Do not wear loose or ill-fitting underwear. Find a size that fits you well, and if necessary, go to a good store and ask their sales staff for help. There are so many different types of bras and panties that are meant for plus size women.
3. Not fitting in. The right outfit will suit you, and not the other way around. Be sure to try brands that make plus size women’s clothing in particular. If you order online, you can always order two sizes close together to find the one that flatters your curves.
4. Invest in shapewear. Shapewear not only reduces the size of your body to a certain extent, but also helps to tone the body, so that you can wear the best dresses without that protruding tummy. Sizes can be different so take a close look at what might fit you.
5. Say no to body shaming. People are entitled to their opinion, and there’s nothing wrong with seeking help from others who may know more about fashion. However, don’t encourage anyone to make fun of your body type or shape.
Style Tips:
1. Do not wear loose clothing. A better idea is to go for a fit session. Just buy one size larger than yours and you can choose the style according to your needs.
2. Choose your materials wisely. If you are not comfortable with the material, you will be unhappy all the time. Unless it’s an occasion, stick to natural fabrics as much as possible.
3. Go for the accessories. There are all kinds of accessories on the market, depending on what you need. Invest in handbags, statement jewelry, and other things like stoles and scarves that never go out of style.
4. Buy good heels. Heels add an element of height, which can make your legs look slimmer. You may want to go for wedges, which are more comfortable, but make sure you also have a pair of high heels.
5. Finally, get yourself some nice dresses. Dresses never go out of style and you will find all kinds of options, depending on what you like to wear. Opt for off-the-shoulder, polka dots, stripes, and pastel shades that are all the rage these days.
