We talk a lot about losing weight and getting thin, but to be honest, there are some women, who are “plus sized” and happy in their skin. Are you one of those curvaceous women, who is happy being herself?
While being content with yourself is commendable, you likely have a hard time finding the right fashions to compliment your figure. Unfortunately the world, believes that because you’re large you can’t possibly want fashion, and therefore the clothing that is catered towards larger women is generally more for comfort than style. On the up side of things there are now becoming more and more designers that are reaching out to the inner diva no matter what your size is. Below are some great tips on how you can stay in style and look just as good as you feel.
• Probably the biggest mistake that many plus sized women make is buying clothes that don’t fit. Buying clothes that are form fitting will draw a lot of attention to your bumps and lumps, therefore, making you feel heavier, than you actually are. If women don’t buy clothes too small, they go in the opposite direction and buy clothing that is too big making them appear bigger. Be proud of your figure and simply buy clothes that will compliment you instead.
• As a plus sized diva, you’re not going to be able to go to the same shops as some other women do and expect to find something that will work for you. Nix the flowing fabrics as it creates an appearance of extra weight. You want to buy from high quality stores and search for clothing that has great structure and definition to it. Many women fair better getting clothes that are tailored to their body type.
• Ok, this one has to do with your undergarments. If you have on appropriate underwear, it can make all the difference in your clothes. Consider going for a bra sizing so that you can get bras that fit your body. The right underwear can push everything into the right place and leave you feeling a bit more flirtatious with your curves.
• If you’re looking to hide some of the more unflattering parts of your body instead of going big, go with darker colors and less patterns. Getting darker colors such as brown, black, and navy can hide those extra pounds you don’t want seen. Avoiding too many patterns such as stripes will also give you a slimmer feel.
• When buying jeans, you want to make sure that you stay away from jeans that don’t have elastic-like materials as they can appear to be too tight when you put them on. Instead, why not go with a wide leg or boot cut jean as it can give your legs length.
• Speaking of adding length to your legs, there is a myth going around that plus sized women don’t belong in heels. This is far from the truth. If you’re not comfortable wearing high heels because of you weight, maybe consider a lower heel. However, having heels in your wardrobe will give your legs lengths that you would have never imagined.
