subject: Plus Size Clothes For Young Women - Slimming Fashion Tips For Plus Size Women [print this page] We all wish to look our best, whether we're short and slim or tall and heavier. Here are a few tips I've collected for plus size ladies which will help look their finest.
Pants
Choose pants that are long enough for you. If your pants are too short, it visually cuts the length of your legs. The longer your legs look, the slimmer they will appear.
Capri pants are very slimming as well if they are the appropriate length. Select a style where the bottom of the pant ends several inches above your ankles but below the widest part of your calves.
Skirts
Choose skirts that rest just above your knees. A mid-calf skirt cuts the length of your legs and attracts eyes to the thickest part of your lower legs.
Bras
A nicely fitted bra is a must for each and every woman. Not only to provide support and comfort, but a too tight bra can pop out those back rolls like nobody's business!
If your cup size is not too big, consider trying a sports bra for a more comfortable fit that has satisfactory support. No wires here ladies!
Colors
Choose darker colors for parts you don't want the eyes to concentrate on and brighter colors for places you want to accentuate. Darker colors for example black and navy are really slimming and should be in every woman's closet.
Dressing from head to toe in one color is also very slimming as it makes a person appear taller. Matching your pantyhose to the color of your shoes and skirts helps achieve this look.
Patterns
Stay away from big patterns and look for vertical stripes - thin stripes is ideal. Thin stripes help give the illusion of length. Adding length helps give the illusion of a longer body, which helps you appear thinner. Small, delicate prints can also be very flattering.
Fit
If your clothing is very tight, it accentuates and magnifies all flaws. If our clothing is very loose and baggy, we think we are hiding our size but the opposite really happens: we magnify our size.
So many ideas to keep in mind when shopping for new clothes! But the key points to remember are appropriate fit and visually lengthening fashions. We have a lot of choices now in plus size fashions that we can find exactly what works best for our body types.
