Women are constantly under the pressure to look as fashion industry has intended for them. You know what? I’m not on the fashion industry’s payroll, so I don’t care what they want. They are putting labels on women who don’t wish to be labeled and put into some frame called ‘plus size’. I don’t know about you, but I always thought that ‘plus’ can only be positive.
Fashion is for all Shapes and Sizes
Fashion isn’t and shouldn’t be reserved just for sizes up to 8. Luckily for all the women around the world, there are many plus size bloggers and models who are promoting body acceptance. You go girls! Soon enough we’ll have designers who are creating clothes for all shapes and sizes, as it should be.
Dressing the Curves
What those women writing fashion blogs and advocating for equality are trying to say is that it isn’t so hard dressing your curves. First you need to learn how to compliment your body figure. You can do that by reading articles online or measuring your waist, chest, etc.
A better way is, however, to go out, explore, try out different clothes. There is no magazine in the world that can compete with the real deal when you put on a blouse and see how well it looks on you.
Every Woman Must-haves
There are some clothing pieces every woman, regardless of her size, must have in her wardrobe. Among them is the little black dress. It is no myth that there is a LBD out there for every woman. For a curvy lady, a great choice is a fitting dress which embraces her body shape. The length should be slightly above the knees to elongate the figure.
At least one, if not more, maxi skirts or dresses should find their place in your wardrobe. The right cut will make your legs look longer, while not hiding your best assets. A businesswoman should have couple of pencil skirts and fitted blazers.
If you know and love your body, finding the right clothes shouldn’t be difficult. The most valuable advice you can get is to dress for your size. Fitting clothes is the best favor you can do to your body. Remember to always wear a smile, because one size fits all.
