The Sin City Strut: Essential Vegas Outfits for Curvy Women
Ditch sizeist stereotypes and shine in the desert sun with fearless fashion choices. Curvy women deserve to feel like a million bucks in Vegas, and with insider knowledge, you can make that happen.
Dramatic Nights Out
Paint the town red with an eye-catching dress that hugs curves. Try a floor-sweeping, emerald green mermaid gown made from silky satin with delicate beading along the neckline (flattering on hourglass figures) or a bold red, curve-accentuating corset dress with dramatic ruffles and tulle underskirts (ideal for pear-shaped women). Layer a delicate lace shawl or choker to add a touch of Old Hollywood glamour.
Daytime Poolside Chic
Beat the heat in a stunning swimsuit that’s as comfortable as it is stylish. A figure-flattering, curve-hugging one-piece with a cheeky, high-cut leg design (a great pick for apple-shaped women) or a trendy, crisscross-backed bikini with a built-in bra (ideal for plus-size women with smaller busts) will keep you looking and feeling fabulous by the pool. Top it off with a trendy, oversized kimono in a lightweight, woven African-inspired print like Adire (flattering to all body types).
Rockin’ the Red Carpet
Create a show-stopping look by pairing a fitted, curve-embracing jumpsuit in a flattering jewel tone (like navy blue or emerald green) with a statement-making, eye-catching necklace. For a more avant-garde look, try an avant-garde, artfully draped tunic-inspired dress in a dramatic color like burgundy or teal – and balance it with sleek, neutral heels.
Quick Style Wins
- Layer a fitted cropped denim jacket over a curve-hugging dress for effortless polish.
- Swap oversized sandals for strappy, heeled wedges for a chic, elevated look.
- Accentuate your curves with a statement-making, beaded belt in a bold color or pattern.
- Try a luxe, sequined top as a more affordable alternative to sequined dresses.
- Balance a flowy maxi dress with sleek, strappy sandals and a delicate, layered necklace.
