Color Palette:
Cold weather brings a
darker color palette which is a great win for everyone but especially for plus
size. An array of multi colored dark shades are likely to flatter your curves
while holding the look together.
- Always play around with colors, but with
a bit of sensibility. Opt for coats, cardigans, and knit dresses in dark
tones and accentuate with a vibrant pop of either a contrasting accessory
or a co ord. Beautiful shade of burgundy, brown, moss green, black, grey,
indigo, and deep blue can always opt for outerwear like coats and jackets.
However, combining them with shades like burnt orange, fiery red, rose
violet, dusty magenta, lime greens, and chrome yellow shades lifts any
outfit.
- No matter what you observe, it`s always
best to search for colors and trends according to the weather before you
shop. This gives a clear idea of what you should buy and how you can style
it with multiple pieces.
High Waisted Lowers:
- If you`re a person who is comfortable
flaunting your curves while wearing pants, or jeggings, then invest in
high waist articles. They also add up the length of your legs and lower
body, making it appear slimmer and slender.
- High rise skirts look sassy while hiding
the unpleasant flab if paired up with and pulled off correctly.
- If you prefer a mid length or a long
skirt, pick a printed and patterned shirt to add interest to the outfit.
Tucked in shirts or high neck tops are comfortable and give off an edgy
look to the outfit.
- Pleated skirt texture adequately covers
the tummy area and moves the optical focus away from the bulging mid body.
Color Blocking:
- If you`re opting for dresses and
cardigans, choose items with vertical color blocking, horizontal color
blocking, or light colors. Look for ombre stripes and patterns. Such
styles create eye movement and shift the focus from the bulges.
- Monochromes might flatter your curves,
but visually they create a very bland look. If you plan to go
monochromatic, then be sure to choose the right accessories.
Belts:
- One of the best friends all plus size
women should have is a belt. Especially the one worn over a dress at the
waist. It`s always better to own a couple of belts in basic or vibrant
colors.
- Belts have the power not just to make you
appear slimmer but are also great to jazz up an outfit.
- Throw a basic belt over a button down shirt
or a knit dress. This is an investment that can benefit you significantly
all year round.
Jackets:
- Jackets become life saviors
whether they`re made of denim, PVC leather, faux leather, or faux fur.
They`re great at figure flattering but also can hide and hug your body
bulges, making you appear tapered.
- It is essential to choose the right fit,
length, color and cut to complement your silhouette. Choosing a vibrant
color can grab the attention towards itself but ensure it coordinates well
with the entire outfit.
Coats:
- Coats are versatile in terms of
styles, colors, lengths, and materials. Many styles are available, from
teddy coats and trench coats to double breasted and lapelled coats.
- Choose deeper and darker shades instead
of lighter colors or neutrals as light colors exaggerate your width.
- Shades like deep red, maroon, brown, deep
greens, and blues add depth and character.
- Lapelled or double breasted style in long
length is an exaggerated style hiding the bust area underneath a very
classic style.
- Ensure to have a slight shape and flair at the waist and the hem. Besides covering and comforting in the cold weather, this style also tapers the silhouette.
