PLUS SIZE BLOGGERS YOU’LL LOVE

As far as plus-size fashion goes, it’s a common gripe that there seems to be a gaping hole in the marketplace when it comes to brands that are equal parts on-trend and made to flatter curves, and that there aren’t enough plus-size women at the forefront of fashion to set a positive example. Luckily, that’s starting to change—an increasing number of brands and stores are including plus-size merchandise and, in some awesome cases, models in their campaigns. While that’s all amazing, it’s really the advent of plus-size fashion bloggers that seems to be making the most influential waves.

What’s so refreshing about curvy bloggers isn’t the fact that we’re seeing a varied collection of bodies in a marketplace that’s getting to be way too standardized, but really the idea that most of these young women truly understand style, and—as a result—understand that the there are no such things as “rules” in fashion!

Before we had these young women as examples, there’s a good chance most full-figured women would shy away from trends like crop tops, bold patterns, and body-con dresses, but now we’re seeing that these types of things not only work for a huge variety of shapes, but can also look fabulous and modern if chosen correctly, just like any other item on any other body type.

Festive Plus Size Fashions

Being a plus – size lady has its own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to fashion. Exploring different brands can be difficult when you’re a plus size but lots of brands are venturing into the plus size world now so don’t lose hope. This holiday season; don’t let all these dampen your drive to dress up. Here are some plus size holiday fashion tips that will help you look your best for the coming festivities.

WEAR MORE DRESSES – dresses have a more feminine look and feel to them. They’re dressier and more chic too which is what you’ll want when dressing up for the holidays. Aside from that, dresses also often tend to make you look slimmer too. Make sure to stick to dress styles that you know are flattering on your body type. If you’re not sure about this, you can always wear shift dresses and A-line dresses or even wrap dresses as these are the ones that are considered universally flattering on all body types.

 

 



GET VAMPY – so, you know how they say black makes you look slim? While that’s definitely true, wearing black just doesn’t seem cheery enough for the holidays so if you’re looking for colors to wear that will make you look slimmer but don’t want to go Goth with black, try other darker colors that aren’t as gloomy as black like deep purple, maroon or even navy. This will give you more of a sexy, vampy look instead of a grimy one.

 

 

ACCESSORIZE – another way to draw attention to your assets and away from your flaws is to use accessories. Wear accessories on or around the area that you’d like to draw some attention to and leave the area where your flaws are bare

 

 

 



 

DON’T TAKE HEELS FOR GRANTED – heels don’t only make you look taller, they elongate your silhouette in general, too, making you look thinner than you really are. You don’t have to suffer with those super thin heels if you’re not comfy with them. You can opt for chunky heels or even wedges instead.
