Never Wear Horizontal Stripes

 

 As a plus sized beauty you've been told for a long time that those evil little straight lines are a sure fire way to make your fuller frame look bigger. The key to successfully pulling off a horizontal striped look is knowing your proportions. The stripes shouldn't be too thick and the spacing should also be proportioned well. If you're nervous about heading full charge into this look, start out small, like wearing a striped tank under your favorite open cardigan or jacket with your favorite jeans and believe me when I tell you, you'll feel both sexy and rebellious giving this look a try.

 

 

Always Wear Basic Black

 

​The notion that you as a plus sized beauty can't look good in anything outside of monochromatic colors is not only wrong but it’s entirely impractical! The world is full of bright and bold colors, why should you be forbidden to wear them? If you're worried about breaking away from the blacks and navy blues, try starting small, working with bright accessories, like a purse or belt until you're ready to try it on a larger scale with lets say those bright red jeans you saw in the store window.

 

 

Never Wear Skinny Jeans

 

 Fitted clothes actually frame and hug your curves beautifully so don't be afraid to give this look a try. The key to pulling this off is that you wear something "fitted" not "tight." 

 

 

Always Wear Loose Clothing

 

Sometimes wearing too many loose fitting things at once can have the opposite effect, and can make you look sloppy and unkempt. Don't drown yourself in layers of huge dark colored clothes because you feel you have to. Wear what fits you comfortably and balance your loose clothes with more fitted ones.
