How to dress for a plus size woman

Created 06/18/2011

Some plump women have absolutely no complexes about their figure and dress in tight-fitting clothes. They are right about only one thing - there are no complexes. At the same time they don't look very nice.

Others, on the contrary, dress in “burlap”, which is also wrong - such clothing does not hide excess weight, but visually makes the woman even more voluminous.

So how can a plump woman dress stylishly and beautifully?

Your clothes should not be very loose or tight. Choose items that fit slightly to your body. However, you can tighten your breasts, especially if you have a big bust. When choosing clothes, consider your body type.

Fabric, color, pattern

Fabrics choose dense, smooth, matte ones. Shiny and iridescent fabrics, an abundance of sparkles - all this attracts attention. Such fabrics are suitable for evening, but you need to be careful with them. It is better to choose a shiny shawl or a dress whose only trim is made of shiny fabrics. Do not wear soft fabrics, thin knitwear, chiffon, or corduroy.

Dark colors They make you look slim, but you shouldn’t always dress completely in black. The colors of your clothes should suit you and match your color type. The outfit should not be in contrasting colors - the light part will look bigger.

Do not wear fabrics with wide stripes, cross stripes or large, even checks. Also unacceptable are small floral patterns, small polka dots and too large designs, especially in the widest parts of the body. The ideal fabric pattern is a thin vertical stripe and a vertical pattern. The checkered pattern should be slightly elongated longitudinally or obliquely.

Sleeves

It is better to wear clothes with sleeves. In evening wear, you can cover your shoulders and arms with a shawl. Avoid sundresses and tops with straps, and things that reveal your shoulders.

Neckline

Avoid small stand-up collars and boat collars. Suitable necklines: V-shaped, square, round.

Proportions

Maintain proportions in your image. You have a full figure and therefore your hairstyle should be voluminous and large jewelry. Clothes should not have small buttons or frills, narrow cuffs or collars.

Lingerie, swimwear and tights

Pay attention to . Of course, it won’t shed pounds, but it will tighten and smooth your silhouette. Underwear choose strictly according to your size, no more, no less. Briefs can have tightening inserts. The bra should hold your breasts well. Do not wear stretched bras and replace them with new ones in a timely manner.

Tights desirable with a high top and tightening inserts in the abdomen and buttocks. Of course they must be your size. Very tight tights will make your legs look even fuller.

Swimwear should also be your size. Choose models with inserts, cups, wide straps and a deep neckline. The fabric should have a high lycra content. If you choose not a plain swimsuit, but one with patterns, then the pattern should be vertical. It is better to abandon bikinis in favor of one-piece swimsuits. Swimsuit models with shorts, skirts and T-shirts will also look good on overweight women. Dresses and skirts

You need to give up miniskirts, skirts that are tapered at the bottom and cut on the bias. Straight skirts and slightly wider ones at the bottom - trapezoids, eight-pieces - are suitable.
Dresses choose semi-fitted, trapezoidal or high-waisted without a lot of details, draperies, or folds. The length can be “to the floor”, slightly above or to the middle of the knee. For very full legs, wear dresses and skirts 5-7 centimeters below the knee. Trousers

Trousers should fit you well. Avoid trousers that are too tight and too wide with elastic, as well as those that are tapered at the bottom. Dark trousers of a classic cut that fit the hips will look good. These can also be jeans that can be worn with tunics, short dresses and long tops.
Costume

Costume should be the same color, with welt vertical pockets. Should not have patch pockets or flap pockets at hip level. The length of the jacket is mid-thigh. It is better not to wear long jackets. Blouses

Blouse It's better to wear it untucked. If you want to tuck a blouse into a skirt or trousers, then it should not contrast with them in color, and if a white blouse is required, then it is better to wear a jacket or vest on top. Don't wear short blouses. Shoes

Shoes suitable with a sharp, but not narrow nose, as well as on a platform. Avoid square toes, mid-calf boots, and thin heels. Overweight women usually find it difficult to wear high heels, but if this is not your thing, then it’s very good, since the heel lengthens your legs and makes you look slimmer. Choose boots such that the shaft covers the entire calf and fits tightly to the leg.

Accessories

Long, large ones are suitable for overweight women. decorations on the neck. A long scarf should hang freely or be tied in a soft knot. Do not wear short beads and chains, small scarves around the neck, and do not tie scarves with a large bow.
Bags Large and tough are better. Avoid narrow bags and reticules.
