Plus sized ladies want to look and feel elegant in what they wear, whilst drawing attention to their best assets. Donâ??t feel that you canâ??t wear that Little Black Dress to a party because it has no sleeves; feel confident in what you wear.
Accentuate your assets
To make the most of your best assets, mix and match a little. You could wear a polka skirt with a plain black top which would draw the attention away from the bust line, similarly a polka dot top with a plain black skirt to take the eye away from perhaps larger hips. The darker colour on the bottom of this black ivory animal rose print top (pictured above)Â is also great for slimmimg the hips.
The Ideal Fit
Try not to look at the style of clothes, but focus on its fit. A better fitting top will flatter your shape, rather than you trying to squeeze into a smaller size.
Avoid baggy clothes at all cost
Try to stay away from baggy clothes, they only alter your shape and make you look wider in the places where you are actually a perfect size.
Dark colours
Donâ??t feel that you have to wear darker colours constantly to make you feel smaller. Clothe your best assets with a brighter colour. Or try accessorizing with different coloured shoes to take the feeling away from the â??all black look.â??
Soft Fabrics
Go for soft fabrics that are figure hugging, but allow you to move in a free manner. Clingy, stretchy material will only make you feel larger as it will cling to unnecessary parts of your body.
Various Sizes
Try to remember that different shops have different manufacturers, so their sizes will differ considerably. Donâ??t worry if your size varies from one shop to the next.
The Perfect Dress
If you are looking for a dress for that perfect night out or party, then look at getting a one-piece dress, they give the appearance of looking sleeker than say a camisole with a long length skirt.
V-Necks
It is commonly known that a round necked top makes your bust look larger. If you want to make this area look smaller, then go for V-Neck styled tops which use the vertical line and take your eye away from the bust area.
Camisoles
Wearing a camisole top underneath a shirt or blouse will smooth out any bulges which you donâ??t like seeing.
Body Slimmers
Whilst most people find body slimmers not very flattering, they too help to smooth out any unwanted bulges.
Sleeveless or not?
Donâ??t be worried about wearing a sleeveless top, showing just a little bit of skin can be very attractive on a lady, so donâ??t dismiss the thought of wearing a sleeveless dress out. If you are a little more conscious about it then why not have a short bolero jacket or shrug over the top, to cover up that tiny bit of skin.
As the average dress size in the UK for women is now a size 16, we are seeing more of a demand for plus size collections and increasingly, designers are catering for this market. If you wear plus sized clothing, there is absolutely no reason why you cannot enjoy the latest trends, while looking fabulous and stylish over the autumn and winter months.
If you are looking for stylish everyday wear for the office, then a pair of high waisted camel trousers will look great with a plain top and tailored jackets. Black everyday trousers will create a slimming effect on your bottom half, and you can streamline these with a white or leopard print blouse. There are designs which tie at the side, and these are great for taking attention away from your midriff, if this is an area you want to hide. A black suit jacket will complete this look nicely. Other ideas for work are a line skirts or empire line dresses, as these skim the hips and thighs, so work on any body shape.
For an everyday look while out shopping or for lunch, a pair of high waisted jeans or a pair of black leggings, top and blazer jacket will keep you on trend. Print dresses and belted dresses are also great styles for this season. If you have assets to be proud of then make sure you wear a top which will show off your cleavage and draw attention to this area. Batwing style tops are also good as they cover up the arms, but at the same time, many of the styles will give your waist a slimmer look. Always add some costume jewellery to your everyday outfit, to create a more expensive and interesting look.
If you are looking for an outfit for a night on town or for a party, there are loads of gorgeous styles to choose from. Maxi and tunic dresses are very stylish this season, and are flattering for any body shape. The style doesn’t cling too much to the body but will still show off your wonderful curves. A sequin dress with a bolero is a good choice for a party, especially coming into the festive season, when there will be loads of opportunities to dress up. Bubble skirts are also a very stylish at the moment.
If you would rather not wear a skirt or a dress, a pair of black leggings or jeans is a great choice, and you can team these up with a bustier or a stylish hanky hem vest top, and a pair of heels for the ultimate glamorous look. Add some sparkly jewellery to give your outfit an extra sizzle over the festive period.
Styles for plus sized body shapes are not restricted, so there’s no need to hide behind baggy, unsightly clothes. You can embrace all the latest styles and trends, and still look gorgeous. Always remember to wear your clothes with confidence and a smile, no matter what size you are, as this will create attention for all the right reasons.

In order to look amazing in your clothes whatever your size, you should choose styles that fit perfectly as clothes that are too big or too small will not be flattering for you. You should also choose styles of clothing according to your body shape. Those with larger hips and thighs will look best in a line skirts, boot cut trousers and wide neck tops to balance the body and make it appear in proportion. They should also stick to plain and darker colours on the bottom half wearing patterned clothes on their top half if they choose. Those with apple shaped bodies or larger stomach areas with no defined waist will benefit from wearing empire line tops and dresses that skim over the stomach area. They should avoid any detail or fuss around the tummy area. Ladies with hour glass shapes should wear fitted clothes with belts to show off their relatively small waist. Those with athletic figures can give the illusion of curves by wearing flared skirts and high neck tops.
What ever your shape there is a clothing option to flatter your figure and make you look amazing. If you want to cover you arms Roman Originals has a range of shrugs, boleros and cardigans which look great with evening wear.

If you are a plus size you may find it difficult to find nice clothes that look good on you. There is no reason why you can’t look gorgeous and stylish, it is all about finding just the right clothes to suit. As a plus size you are very much an individual and there is no one style that suits all.
For many plus size ladies, the things that they do to try and hide their size or curves, end up just drawing attention to them even more for example wearing long baggy clothing. Looking great is partly about having confidence and sometimes that means moving out of your comfort zone in terms of clothing and trying something new.Â
To some extent you should apply the usual rules on how to dress based on your body shape, but there are also a few extra tips that may come in handy.
- If you struggles to find clothes to fit your proportions, just find something that you like and get it altered to fit. If in doubt go up a size rather than down as it is always easier to take clothes in than out. Pay particular attention to getting the length, waist and trouser or sleeve length just right.
- Try out other alternatives to black. Black may be slimming but it can also be quite a harsh colour and can get boring if worn all of the time. Try other combinations of neutrals until you find one that you lve. If you are finding it really hard to move away from black navy is a great first step.
- Be sure that your clothes all fit you properly. Clothing that is too big or too small will just make you look bigger. Try and find clothes that skim over your curves rather than hugging, pulling, pucker, or loosly draping.
- Pick your favourite part of your body and draw attention to it using jewellery, accessories,bright colours, patterns or embellishment. Some areas to consider are shoulders, décolletage, forearms, legs or ankles.
- Choose tailored jackets that end at the hip bone. This will help to elongate your legs and slim down your whole torso.
- Avoid tapered trousers which make the hips look wider and pleated skirts which add bulk.
- Try and find a well fitting pair of flat fronted trousers, this is by far the most flattering style.
- Try wearing tops with a low v neck layered over a vest or camisole top.
- Clothes that do not crease easily in soft jersey fabrics tend too look best as they drape perfectly and don’t crease when you sit down, which can make clothes look unsightly.
Whatever your size or shape, when it comes down to looking stylish, it is vital that you feel comfortable, confident and happy in your clothes and with the way that you look. Confidence comes from within so take time to pick yourself some beautiful clothes and remind yourself how beautiful you are.
