There are certain staple
pieces of clothing that every girl should have in her wardrobe. These
pieces are essential to any wardrobe and help in defining and maintaining
style. However, key wardrobe pieces are especially important in the plus
sized wardrobe. While there are a wide variety of pieces that flatter the
plus sized woman, this article will discuss a few key pieces that will help
accentuate your curves and your wardrobe. Read further to find out how to
make over your plus sized wardrobe.
Appropriate fitting bra
First and foremost, find
the most appropriate fitting bra possible. This can be a challenge for
any woman, but especially for plus sized women. Studies have shown that
most women are wearing the incorrect size bra, so it is very important to be
properly measured to insure that the bra you’re wearing not only fits right,
but helps you look your best! Wearing a bra that is ill-fitting could
result in the straps digging into your shoulders or back, a saggy appearance,
or unwanted lines that show through your clothing. There are many stores
that cater to plus sized women, as some store do not carry certain sizes that
are often needed by plus sized women. So, first and foremost, be measured
for the correct size bra.
Appropriate fitting
jeans
We all know how
difficult it is to find a pair of jeans that fit just right! The shopping
process for jeans might not be fun, but it is definitely worth it. If you need
to dedicate an entire day to jeans shopping, do it. It is much better to
have only one or two pairs of jeans that fit just right rather than having many
pairs that don’t. Once you find the pair that fit you great, buy several
pairs. Jeans are a staple that can be worn every day and can be dressed up
or down. They are definitely worth the invest of both your time and your
money. Keep in mind that dark washed jeans and jeans that have stretch
can often be more comfortable and flatter figuring. Also, many stores are
now making “curvy” jeans that are tailored for fuller figures.
Cardigans
Cardigans are great ways
to add some spunk and color to your wardrobe, as well as accenting your curves.
Putting a belt over a cardigan helps to accentuate the waist and your
curves. Cardigans are great for layering and can also be dressed up or
down, and can be worn with jeans, dresses, etc. They are a must have
staple piece.
Accessories
Accessories can do
wonders for your wardrobe and for your body. For example, a bold and
colorful necklace can be worn to draw attention away from your hips/thighs and
up towards your smaller area. Or a belt can be worn at waist level to
accentuate your waist and curves. And the great thing about accessories
is that they don’t come in special plus sizes, they are one size fits all! So
you can shop for accessories without having to worry whether or not they will
have your size!
A great pair of heels
Heels are a great way to dress up any outfit, whether it is jeans
or a dress. Also, heels are a great way to accentuate your legs and make
you look taller, which in turn can give the appearance of a smaller body frame.
Heels don’t have to be uncomfortable, either. They don’t have to be
sky high to have slimming effect. Invest in a pair of comfortable wedges
or ankle boots that accentuate your calves and also are comfortable to wear.
