Everyone wants to look beautiful. We have gotten tips from some of the top plus size stylists on how you can look your best.
Are you ready to learn how to look confident as a fuller or plus size woman, and discover what clothing will make your plus size make your body shape look smooth, stylish and professionally appealing this very minute! Say Yes - because you CAN feel beautiful!
- Try to create the illusion of a larger shoulder area (a boat-neck top would be great).
- Focus attention on legs (skirt or dress with a slit).
- Choose shoes with at least a 1 inch heel - the taller the better.
- Match pantyhose hue to skirt or pant and shoe color to create a slender silhouette.
- Oblong scarves are a great accessory when tied loosely around the neck, creating a long, vertical line.
- Opt for a monochromatic outfit where your top and skirt or trousers are the same color or hue.
- Wear blazer and cardigans long and unbuttoned for maximum vertical lines.
- Wear V-necks (you have more play with dressing provocative than the other body types with deeper necks and open buttons).
- Keep colors in mind ( a red belt on a black dress may accent the waist, but if you have a voluptuous butt it may be a bit much. You know your extra curvy spots. You may want to try something more subdued, like chocolate brown).
Larger women are no longer content with mediocre fashion. They are saying "no" to ill-fitting polyester and demanding not only style but the same kind of selection that is available to their smaller sisters. Designers and manufacturers have finally begun to recognize that 50 percent of women in the U.S. are size 14 and over, and department stores have also become aware of this important market.
Every woman is different, but there are some things that plus size women should consider when shopping for new clothes. Although there is a larger selection available, larger women can still have difficulty finding clothes that suit their lifestyles. Additionally, some department stores are still reluctant to devote a lot of expensive floor space to this clientele, still buying into the old idea that larger women are perfectly content with the status quo.
Creating a wardrobe for the full-figured working woman is easy if one knows what to look for. There are certain clothing items that should be a staple in a larger woman's closet. When shopping for plus size dress apparel, pay attention to functionality without sacrificing style. There are a few essentials that plus size women should have in order to look sharp at work, during meetings and in all other facets of their professional life.
