10 Tips To Minimizing A Plus Size Body Type
By: A. Pruder
A plus size physique is no longer left out of the
ever-changing world of fashion. Not so long ago,
curvy women didn’t have the opportunity to shop
from the same trendy selection as a more petite
lady. Luckily, plus size clothing has taken a turn
for the better. To that end, there are a few tips
to help in the selection of the most figure
flattering attire for your body type.
Tip No. 1
Dark, solid colors are slimming. Any plus size gal
will recognize that black is the ultimate color to
help in minimizing those curves. In addition to
classic black, navy blue can also help to
instantly provide the look of a slimmer physique.
Tip No. 2
Princess seams. These are ideal for plus size wear
because of their slimming design. Princess seams
are those that curve in, on both sides, to form a
very lazy ‘C’ stitch.
Tip No. 3
Long sleeves help to minimize the appearance of
full-figured arms or wrists. It happens to all of
us. One day we wake up and our arms are no longer
the tight shape that they once were, but that is
what long sleeves are for. The length will
minimize a plus size wrist or forearm and draw
attention to any unwanted thickness in either
area.
Tip No. 4
Shorts may show off plus size thighs or leg, but
capris pants with an ankle bracelet will draw the
eye to the ankle and will decrease any signs of a
plus size presence.
Tip No. 5
Most plus size ladies want to wear baggy clothes,
but this doesn’t hide anything. Always go for a
more figure flattering approach. This doesn’t mean
to wear tight clothes, but it does mean to wear
something that accentuates the figure in good
taste.
Tip No. 6
If you have love handles, don’t wear extremely a
snug shirt with jeans as this may make the bulge a
little more obvious. Instead, wear your favorite
jeans with an a-line or flutter shirt. This will
hide any problem areas and maximize your sense of
style.
Tip No. 7
Do not wear clothes that are overly tight. This is
simply bad taste. Enough said.
Tip No. 8
A monochromatic look, meaning clothing that is all
one color, can give the wearer a taller and more
slim appearance. And, after all, what woman
wouldn’t want either of those characteristics in
an outfit? Consider a black figure flattering top
with a black pant in soft material. For a special
touch, add a trendy belt, but take a look at the
new you with an instantly slimmer look.
Tip No. 9
A suntan will give a healthier and possibly even a
slimming glow. A tan looks healthy and health is
beautiful. Avoid the sun or a tanning bed, but
check out a high quality self-tanning lotion
instead.
Tip No. 10 Control top pantyhose or a tummy control panty can
help to eliminate belly bulge. Any woman, whether
plus size or not, has a stomach. If you want to
slim up your tummy area, either of these will help
to minimize any bulge.
