Angelina Jolie once said she finally understood that men did not really like rail thin women, instead preferring curves and something real. If she feels that way, you certainly have no reason to be ashamed that you cannot fit into a size 1!
Hanging pantsuits seemed to be the standard bearer when it came to plus size clothing for women. Well, the good news is that is no longer the case. Outfits are dynamic now and can really emphasize your strong points if you keep some basic advice in mind.
I happen to be a fan of black clothing. Unfortunately, it is not a good look for me or any full figured woman. Black tends to flatten us out and make our skin look blemished. Avoid it completely or at least restrict it to shoes and accessories.
Pants are the clear winner when it comes to problematic clothing. Tight does not look good and easy fit versions are like wearing bags. Try a pair with a slightly tapered lower leg. They will make your legs look longer and elegant.
How many outfits have you seen with large graphics on them? We are not kids! I hate these. I realize it is only my opinion, but going with less flamboyant clothing is classier. You can add some sizzle to the outfit with accessories.
If you think I am nuts and like the graphics, we can agree to disagree. There is a rule to follow in this situation, however. Generally, you want to try to match the size to your height. If you are short, go with smaller graphics.
Regardless of the type of clothing you buy, make sure you get the correct size. All to often, it can be easy to buy smaller sizes in the hope you will diet or whatnot. Comfort is the key. Do not cheat yourself. Get the right size.
Finding plus size clothing can be a problem as well. The best options are at stores that specialize in it. Online options like DivaBras.com are excellent and offer free shipping. Use them if there is not a specialty store in your area.
I am a full sized woman and hear me roar! I have beautiful curves and lots of personality. If you have plenty of curves, you should feel the same way. Now get out there and be fashionable!
