Dressing to Impress: Unconventional Plus Size Outfit Ideas
Revitalize your style with fearless fashion moves that turn pluses into positives.
Embracing Bold Prints and Bright Colors
Make a statement with bold prints and bright colors paired thoughtfully, such as a large floral dress in a vibrant shade of coral made from stretchy microfiber or a cotton-blend.
Pair a bold, colorful top with well-fitted, high-waisted jeans in a comfortable spandex-rich denim for a chic, daytime look.
Balance volume with minimalist silhouettes to create a fresh, vibrant look that doesn’t overwhelm the figure.
MIXING AND MATCHING FLATTERING FABRICS
Some fabrics can work wonders for plus-sizes. Take for example a soft, silky Italian knit that darts to perfection, creating a slimming effect. Pair it with fluid trousers in a lightweight material like bamboo for an even more flattering silhouette.
Using textiles with texture and subtle pattern such as velvet in a moss green hue or cable knit can create visual interest without drawing attention away from the curves.
MAXIMIZING MINIMALISM WITH NEUTRAL TONES
For a plus-size neutral look, consider pairing a crisp white or light-gray blouse with a subtle sheen with tailored, high-waisted trousers in a fine stretch Modal blend. This fusion of formality and comfort creates a chic, effortless silhouette.
Experiment with different neutral tones and patterns to create your own minimalist plus size outfits.
