From Flattering to Fearless: Mastering Plus Size Style
Take control of your fashion choices with these bold plus size style tips, designed to help you create a balanced silhouette and make a statement with confidence and sass.
Find Your Flattering Fabric Formula
For a comfortable and polished look, opt for soft, breathable textiles like knit cotton or jersey, which skim over the body, perfect for fitted dresses or flowy tops. Pair velvet or satin with solid colors to balance their volume and add sophistication.
Master the Art of Proportion with Color Blocking
Try pairing rich, dark colors on the bottom half (jewel-toned pants or animal-print leggings) with statement whites or brights on top (bold tops or vibrant blazers) to create a visually appealing contrast. Experiment with bold hues like fuchsia or turquoise, and don’t be afraid to add a second bold color on the top or bottom for added depth.
Illustrate Your Figure with Striking Silhouette-Definers
Statement tops and striking cardigans polish plus size style.
Highlight your curves with statement silhouettes that elongate or break up the line, such as V-necks, A-line silhouettes, or oversized cardigans in neutral colors to create a balanced, fluid look. Add a pop of personality with a brightly colored structured cardigan or accentuated top with off-center designs.
Tap into Personal Style with Accessorize Wisely
Top-notch accessories are key to a knockout plus size style.
