Maintaining a professional and well put-together appearance starts with
keeping a wardrobe of flattering clothing. Choosing pieces that flatter
your body shape, complexion and features are essential to dress yourself
fittingly. If you are a plus-sized individual like me, you may find that
choosing appropriate clothing can be a difficult task. Clothing tends to
be geared toward slim figures, which often does not translate well on
fuller bodies. By learning what works for your body and what is not
flattering, you can ensure you look your best.
Dark colors such as black, navy blue, dark gray or brown are
generally flattering for plus-size women. A monotone ensemble can
create a slimming effect. Complement your outfit with bright shoes for a
splash of color that also draws the eyes away from any problem areas.
If you do not want to wear an outfit that consists of only one color,
try wearing dark pants with a light top. This will draw attention upward
from your legs and help create a leaner appearance.
Experiment with patterns and prints to find designs that
flatter your size. Generally, big prints with lots of empty space are
unflattering for plus-size women. Small patterns with minimal space
between prints can draw attention away from a plus-size body. Try on
patterned pieces to determine what works for you. Pair a printed shirt
with solid pants or skirt to balance your outfit.
Vertical stripes trick the eyes and make you appear taller,
which is also effective in creating a slimmer silhouette. Small
pinstripes in slacks make your legs appear longer and leaner. Small
vertical stripes in tops have a similar affect on the torso. Wear
vertical stripes in your problem areas to diminish the appearance of a
bulge. Choose small stripes since thick stripes can be too distracting
and unsuccessful at creating a leaner appearance. Horizontal stripes
should be avoided, since they create a wider appearance. Horizontal
stripes accentuate a person's girth.

| Clothes that don't Fit |
When trying on or purchasing clothing, look for pieces that
fit your current size. Clothes that are too tight or cling to your body
will accentuate problem areas, such as the belly, arms or thighs. Small
clothing is also uncomfortable and usually requires readjustment
throughout the day. Conversely, clothing that is too baggy or loose can
make you appear larger. This is because your shape is lost in the
clothing. Choosing tailored pieces that fit your body can accentuate
your features without making you appear larger.
Do not purchase smaller pieces in hopes they will fit six months from
now; you still need clothing to wear in the interim. This can be a
challenging process since it will force you to accept yourself as you
are today. Becoming comfortable with your current size and shape is
crucial if you want to choose clothing that fits you well.
