If you’re a plus-size girl, you’ll know that shopping and styling your outfits can be tricky. Embrace your plus-size body with these few simple style tips.
Wrap dresses
For plus-size women, a wrap dress is the perfect staple for your wardrobe. The waist emphasises your curves, and a draped style can really flatter and flow with your figure.
Plus-size Tights
Look for specific plus size tights ranges. Plus size tights will be designed to hug your thighs and fit your body perfectly, rather than riding up or feeling tight on your waist.
Go for corset tops
Lace-up outfits are perfect for a fuller figure. As well as being adjustable, allowing you to perfectly fit your shape and size, a lace-up corset style top or dress can really accentuate your hips and waist.
Shirring
Shirred tops and dresses are ideal for a bigger body. They allow your clothes to stretch just a little, which is great if your weight fluctuates a little. Shirred clothing can adapt to and fit your body beautifully, and it’s comfortable too.
Don’t worry about the label
Sizes across different stores can vary wildly and be incredibly confusing, and sometimes disheartening. But pay no mind to the size label – sizing labels are subjective and variable, so don’t let them determine what you feel comfortable in.
Dress for you
Don’t shrink away from styles, colours and patterns that you love. Your body shape shouldn’t determine what you can and can’t wear, after all!
Learn about your body shape
Identifying your body shape and knowing whether you’re an apple, pear or hourglass, for example, can help you make style decisions that really suit you.
Wide belts
Pairing a wide waist belt with your dress or outfit can cinch in your waist and create a beautiful shape, enhancing your figure and defining your waist area.
Wear colour
Monochrome is cute, but don’t shy away from colour – play around with styles, accessories and patterns.
Love your body
Embrace your shape – confidence is the best style tip of all!
