Flatter Your Figure: Its All About Choosing The Right Pieces
Now more than ever, there are more trends to choose from for plus size women. The fashion industry is catering to an even hotter trend--women who are curvier than runway models. Clothing for plus size women are abundant. Women's plus sized clothing isn't limited to specialty stores like Lane Bryant anymore. Women are shopping in stores and online for plus size clothing that flatters their figures.
But clothing alone doesn't do the trick. To really flatter your shape, you need to do something daunting yet rewarding--stand in front of a mirror. Really look at your shape, embrace your curves and femininity. Gloss over any flaws you are programmed by the media and runway culture that you are programmed to spot. Accept them. Love them. Then take stock of your assets.
Wearing clothes that are too tight or too loose can be a tricky tightrope dance. One the one hand, you don't want to over-accentuate your curves, but you don't want to hide them, either. Shapeless clothes obscure your figure, covering up unattractive and attractive features. Choosing colors and styles to de-accentuate flaws and accentuate assets is the first step to building a posh wardrobe. Start with choosing a hue that complements your hair and skin tone. If you're brunette with light skin, try cool colors. If you're a redhead, stick with blues and greens, and if you're blonde, try warm tones. Stay away from anything too loud, as you don't want to attract negative attention to your curves.
Shop for clothing that highlights your good features. If your best feature happens to be your legs, find some mid-length skirts or dresses to flaunt your hot gams. Don't hide them under sweatpants! Learn to accessorize, too. Try on a scarf to add a nice hint of color to your face. Pair it with a wrap blouse and streamlined pair of slacks to look polished and confident. Blouses always look crisp and smart.
But you can also try a semi-new trend which might be around for a bit--tunics. Tunics are different than plus sized women's dresses. They are a bit shorter, not as tailored, have flair, pizzazz and style, and can obscure your hips. You can wear them with plus size leggings or without. Over pants or a skirt, too. Get one which is vibrant, has some flow and flair from the waist to your mid-thighs. Tunics are great at camouflaging what you want to hide, and show off your trendy, sexy self.
