Lighten Up

All too often, plus-sized women are stuck in the trap of wearing dark colored clothing. It's true, darker clothing does has a slimming effect on a fuller figure, which is the origin of this fashion principle. However, it is important that your clothing reflect your personality, as well as flatter your shape. Plus-sized women can look good in all colors, so let loose and have fun with your wardrobe.

Mix and match bright colors with solid separates for a vivacious, fun-loving look. Try tops in bright, bold reds or cool turquoise colors and capri pants in hot pink or coral. Get bold and wear a dress in a tropical hue of lemon or orange.

The key to wearing color is to wear it on your best body part. For example, if you have great legs, show them off in a flirty, colorful skirt and wear a darker color on top. Make sure the skirt is the focal point of the outfit.


Keep in mind that bright colors are often in style according to season so your outfits should fluctuate accordingly. For fall and winter months, choose rich, deep colors, like dark red, navy, orange, deep purple, chocolate and, of course, black. When spring and summer hits, lighten up your wardrobe with pinks, yellows, light blues, white, lilac, coral and light browns and tans.

Whatever you choose, jazz up your style with color and show the world your great personality through fashion!

Bohemian Chic On Curvy Figures

A trend that works well for plus-size teens is the bohemian chic look. Teens wear this look because of the individuality it reflects and the way it transcends different cultures and styles. The key to getting the boho chic look right is to make it look like you put forth little to no effort at all.

To put together a great boho wardrobe, you need these key pieces:

• A beaded tank (preferably in a neutral color like tan, brown, white or black)
• Funky, wooden jewelry
• A stunning peasant skirt (this is the place to infuse some color --- try turquoise, red or deep gold)
• Flared jeans
• Long, beaded necklaces
• Chunky turquoise jewelry
• A cropped, button-down top to layer over your tank

All of these pieces look great on curvier figures. Remember, however, not to overdo it on one outfit. Instead, pair a peasant skirt with a plain tank and funky jewelry. On the other hand, try a bright, flowing tunic with embellished jeans and beaded flip-flops. The idea is to look relaxed and natural.

Don't Forget Your Blouse

When wearing a suit, beware of what's underneath.

The type of top you are wearing is important because it has an effect on how the suit looks overall, and will have to carry the outfit should you take your suit jacket off. Short-sleeved, silk or knit shells look great on full-figures and do not cling to your hotspots in an unflattering way. Long-sleeves are also a good option, but only in cooler weather. Your top should not be too tight or low cut; the style should fall within the overall parameters of your office dress code.

Skinny Jeans Can Work On Plus-Sizes

Skinny jeans have made a huge comeback and are everywhere from fashion mags to celebrities. But don't let the word "skinny" fool you - this trend translates well to plus-sizes, particularly if you have great legs. The trick is to wear a long, colorful tunic-style top if you have a thicker midsection. Avoid looking bigger than you really are by choosing the right size tunic; too roomy can work against you. Instead, look for a tunic that flares out just slightly at the waist and stops about mid-thigh. If your legs are thick, wear knee-high boots to add balance to your outfit.

Keep in mind that this trend is not to be confused with a tapered leg look. Skinny legs should still have the straight, smooth silhouette that works well for fuller figures.
