Yes, plus-size girls have no less set of advantages than any other smaller ladies. When choosing a wardrobe, you probably strive to either harmoniously emphasize your piquant forms, or look a little slimmer. Whatever goals you pursue, you “hit the right place.” Today we invite you to determine your body type and approach the choice of plus size clothes for ladies by fashion science, which will allow you to present your magnificent silhouette favorably.
Hourglass
Typical for you:
- hips of the same width;
- well-drawn, narrow in comparison with the shoulders and hips waist.
Recommendations:
Accentuate your iconic silhouette with waist belts, pencil skirts, wrap dresses—anything that will show your narrow waist. An open shoulder line is your forte. A deep V-shaped or symmetrical neckline will visually stretch your figure. Do you want to hide curvy hips? Look for flared jeans, wide-leg trousers, or flared skirts. Ideally, if the latter is with a curtained fit at the waist.
Rectangle
Typical for you:
- hips of the same width;
- the waist is absent or implicitly expressed.
Recommendations:
Your figure is balanced and boasts the correct overall silhouette. Emphasize your femininity and obvious advantages – breasts, neat arms, and legs. Choose models with an intriguing V-shaped neckline, asymmetrical, and sweetheart cutouts. If you want to draw a waist, use special modeling underwear or a corset. Waist belts, dresses, and skirts slightly flared from the waist, peplum, sheath dresses and pencil skirts will cope with this task just as well. Remember the proportionality of the figure and accessories: watch the width of belts and belts. They should not be lost in silhouette. Therefore, thin products should be abandoned. Skinny, straight trousers or models with wide legs will suit you brilliantly.
Pear or triangle
Typical for you:
- narrow shoulders and small chest;
- wide, lush hips;
- well-drawn, obvious waist.
Recommendations:
Visually draw attention to the line of the shoulders and chest. This will help U and V-shaped necklines, neckline “boat” or “heart” in combination with massive jewelry and neckerchiefs. It is also very important to pay close attention to models with the decor on their shoulders. It can be embroidery, appliqués, ruffles, flounces. Tops and dresses with stiff shoulder pads are another must-have for pears. The true volume of lush hips will be hidden by flared and A-shaped skirts, dresses with a smell, and drapery. Lengthen the legs and stretch the silhouette of trousers with wide legs. Remember the main color combination in the image – a bright, colorful top and a neutral bottom.
Apple
Typical for you:
- shoulders, chest, and hips are almost the same in width;
- wide and prominent waist;
- small tummy.
Recommendations:
V and U-shaped neckline, “boat” and collar-collar visually elongate the figure. We refuse belts and belts. The main rule is that clothes in the waist area should be loose. Therefore, we pay attention to models with an overestimated and underestimated waist. Loose wrap dresses, elongated cardigans, vests without fasteners, fitted jackets with a voluminous collar or shoulder line will fit perfectly. Vertical lines and prints are your forte. Another trump card of the “apple” types is beautiful legs. We emphasize this dignity with the help of heels and knee-length skirts.
Inverted triangle
Typical for you:
- the massive upper part, broad shoulders, and lush chest;
- wide, implicitly expressed waist;
- narrow hips.
Recommendations:
When choosing a set, give preference to plain tops in neutral shades and without decor. Models with V and U-shaped cutouts are suitable. No open shoulders and “halters”, products with a collar around the neck. But the bottom can be very different. Bright colors and prints, folds, ruffles, embroidery – let your imagination run wild. Fluffy and flared skirts, peplums at the waist, wide legs – any volume in the hip area will come in handy. However, such a volume should balance the proportions, and not give extra fullness to an already magnificent figure.
The bottom line:
Every girl dreams of dressing beautifully and tastefully. Even if its dimensions are very far from the standard 90-60-90. Very often, plus-size women, in an effort to look slimmer, squeeze themselves into tight jeans or blouses a size or two smaller than necessary, wear shoes with very uncomfortable high heels or disguise their volumes under striped dresses. And they achieve the exact opposite effect: every fold is visible under a thin fabric , tight trousers do not allow breathing, shoes that do not sit on the leg break the gait and put pressure on the feet. But if you follow just a few simple tips, you will learn not only to choose the right one, but also to wear clothes that fit perfectly on your figure. And very soon you will notice how quickly the world around you will begin to change.
