Simple Tips for a Positive and Stylish Plus-Size Look

 

Women with plus size bodies often focus on elongating and making their bodies look attractive. Long lines and well-fitting clothes are essential to a positive look in plus size. Following these guidelines will lengthen and accentuate your body features, while also keeping a light feel in step with the season's trends.

A soft and flowing style is a simple, versatile and refreshing component set that makes up a great wardrobe. Using the proper lines and flow of an item of clothing (or set of clothing) is important. This can be doubly important for plus size clothing because without the proper flow, any outfit can accentuate unattractive lines.

If one wants to add height, a longer hemline can work wonders for a shorter body. You can also add height with a pair of gorgeous slim boots or shoes.

Prints can be used in plus size clothing with a little caution. It's not necessarily the best choice for a smaller, fuller body. But with a little caution, a plus size clothing wearer can make prints work for them. Of course, if prints are your style, there's no need to ignore it. However, in many cases texture is a better option than print. If you want to wear prints, choose low contrast or monochromatic options. For plus size clothing, the smaller the print, the better. Make sure each outfit only has one patterned piece.

White and bright colours should usually be avoided. It is important to remember that white does not look good on a full figure. Darker shades of cobalt blue or bright colours are more suitable this season. Using bright colours on the top with a dark bottom is a great way to draw attention and highlight the face.

Statement accessories are another pitfall for plus size dressers. Large jewelry should be avoided as the contrast will make them look shorter and make their bodies look fatter. Wear medium to small sized jewelry instead. Long, layered necklaces and pendants are the best choices.

While wearing colourful accessories is often a good idea, it's important to only have one statement colour in each outfit; too many colours can often make the figure look heavy, and obviously, that's not a feature any plus size woman wants. Belts and sashes are another great way to accessorise. When it comes to plus size clothing, wear belts of medium thickness that accentuate but don't cinch the waist as this draws attention to the natural figure.

Avoiding wide legs can also be a helpful tip. Bell-bottoms and flares will almost never work as well as some people think. Wear straight-legged clothes this season that create long lines and length. Avoid skinny jeans and tight fitting when looking for plus size clothes.
