How to Rock the Plus Size Look

Wear small patterns and avoid horizontal stripes

Small prints and designs tend to make the person wearing them seem smaller. If you can’t get enough of patterns, try petite floral prints and vertical stripes for a super slimming and sleeking effect!

Dark colors

Darker tones are generally perceived to be slimming. However, don’t be afraid to add a splash of color to an outfit to make it quirkier! If you love wearing a certain color and feel confident wearing it, you will look radiant.

Your underwear is your best friend

If you love the idea of wearing a little black dress but are worried it won’t look flattering on you, add in some cinching underwear to sculpt your body shape. Sold in a range of variations, from full body to brief, add some spandex underwear to your outfit to get ultimate confidence, no matter what you’re doing that day!

    These are great tips on how to look fabulous. I shall pass them on to my daughter-in-law.

  2. Good tips for everyone. When you look fabulous, you feel fabulous.

  3. This was so informative to read. I recently purchased a pair of Reebok sweats and I was not able to try them on in the store due to Covid restrictions here. Once I got them home I tried them on and wished they were a little bit longer but like an idiot I cut the tags off anyway. Today, I wore them all day and now I so wish I had taken them back they just are not a true size. Thank you for all these helpful tips I did not know that about wearing small patterns.
