Plus size fashion advice, we all have asked for it at some point in time, “What color do you think looks better on me” or “Do you think this shirt fits me funny?” Yes, these questions for reassurance come in all types of interesting combinations, and the answers you may receive will not always be what you want to hear.
Think about all of the fashion-forward garments you found at your favorite stores before, the pieces that you were willing to take a risk on and purchase, but your girlfriends gave that “please put that back” look. It has happened to us all, seeking out plus size fashion advice… I mean, that is why you are reading this~ Right?
Well, this season there is some plus size fashion advice you need to consider forgetting.
3 Plus Size Fashion Advice You Need to Forget
“Wearing Black is Slimming”
Ladies, if you are advised to wear black because it is slimming, toss that advice away and inject some color and prints into your wardrobe! Confidence will hide those personal problem areas just as well as your all black ensemble! All black can be chic; however, it can also be safe. If you cannot jump right into a colorful frock, try bold accessories! Have fun with this year’s biggest trends like neon colors, playful patterns, and tropical prints.
“Covering Up is Better”
If you are always told to go for longer garments or to cover up your body, let this piece of advice quickly slip from your memory. Show off your arms, embrace those legs, and if courage has smacked you in the face, flaunt that midsection. Short shorts, sheer tops, and more are all great ways to allow some skin to be seen. Now, you may not be able to bring yourself to do that, but know there is no reason why you should be hiding under long sleeves and pants.
“Avoiding Pieces that Show Off Your Curves”
Hiding behind oversized clothing? Not this year! Be daring and purchase some body-conscious pieces! Form-fitting garments are the best way to give your curves some love. Whether you are headed out for drinks or attending an event, get sexy and step out in clothing that hugs you in all the right places!
