Plus-size fashion has evolved in recent years with more inclusive pieces for fashion enthusiast on the plus size. However, it can still be a struggle to get your plus size clothing right and fashionable. These simple tips outlined below can help you.

Monochrome dressing

A monochromatic outfit can create wonders with a linear, long, continuous line which is universally flattering. Remember to choose a colour that complements your skin tone and you can spice things up with a colourful accessory.

Asymmetrical stripes

Yes, stripes weren’t so cool in the past but these days a good designer can create stripes’ optical illusion power for good. The asymmetrical stripes make curvy women look more svelte and taller. To achieve a flattering silhouette, opt for stripes that angle inward towards your waistline.

Flatter your curves with empire line dresses

It doesn’t matter if you are wearing a western or native outfit; make sure they are designed in an empire line way as they help to highlight your strengths.

Statement jewellery is your best friend

You can look effortlessly stylish with statement jewellery which takes attention away from your size and highlights your strength. A choker neckpiece, for instance, will do well with your outfits.

Black is the new cool

Darker shades flatter you more than pastel shades as a plus size woman because it not only makes you look glam but appear slimmer.

Go metallic

Metallic shift dresses are high on shine and style because they fall perfectly along your waistline.

Wear Shapewear

Invest in a good quality tummy tucker. It will flatten your body and elegantly accentuate the curves.
