Not everyone is blessed with a perfect shape. Be it a result of any long term health problem or continuous usage of certain medicines of which the side effects start damaging the body or even because of our lack of interest in reducing those extra kilos, we end up carrying a plus sized figure. But, this is not the end of World. Even plus sized woman can look their best and trendy… here are some suggestions for the plus sized woman, to choose their clothing to look their best;
Understand Your Proportions
While fashion "rules" were meant to be broken, let's imagine that these below are merely suggestions to guide your shopping experience.
• Tops:
Do you have a slight tummy that you'd like to conceal? While shirts may be longer on you as a general rule, look for swing-shaped blazers that skim around your middle paired with longer tops layered underneath.
Add height to your frame with subtle vertical elements. This doesn't need to be stripes, but instead you can try more feminine tops with tiny lace edging running down the bodice, or a shirt with embroidery or edging in a similar pattern.
• Trousers:
Look for petite plus-sized trousers, or develop a close relationship with your tailor to get you the right look.
The same suggestions for your trousers can apply no matter what your shape. If you have larger hips, find slightly wider trousers to help balance you out, or you can wear slimmer, skinny trousers paired with similarly colored shoes to add length to your legs.
• Skirts:
Try skirts that are slightly on the shorter side, such as around the knee. To give you a little wiggle room in the hips, aim for a skirt with an a-line silhouette or a skirt with ruched details to show off a few curves modestly.
Long skirts may drag you down, but you can pull off slightly longer skirts if you wear tops that are slightly on the shorter side instead of tunic length.
Tip: One skirt type that I'd avoid is a pleated one. They add width to your hips and may not look age-appropriate, particularly when paired with your height.
