There is no reason why you can’t wear jeans. All you have to do is make sure that you go for high-waist trousers. NYDJ jeans for instance have a tummy-tuck feature that helps to flatteringly shape your body. If you prefer wearing skirts then avoid plead patterns. Rather opt for flowing skirts with a trapeze cut. You can highlight your curvy waist by wearing it with a thin belt that is lightly resting on your hips. You do not want to interrupt the flow of your body w
Highlight your assets. If you are so lucky to have a voluptuous chest then do not hide your cleavage. Summer dresses should be narrow in the bustline and be long and flowing. Your jacket should cover your hips because you don’t want the optical break to be on them as that would only overly highlight them. There is nothing wrong with showing some femininity with a ruche jacket from Mado et Les Autres, Frank Lyman or Sandwich.
If you want to hide your upper arms you can do that by wearing a long top or tunic by Sandwich or Oui clothing. Make sure that the tunic or top of your choice has flowing qualities again and is made from natural materials. Stretch materials look far too unflattering as they only highlight extra pounds on our hips. Natural materials also feel much nicer on the skin.
There is no reason why you can’t wear some color. It is a common misconception that strong women should only wear black. While dark hues are very good at hiding the bits we don’t want people to see, sometimes we just want a little bit of color in our lives. Mado et Les Autres and Kate Cooper offer some fantastic women dresses in lovely warm colours that suit any figure. Head over to Elise of York to take a look.
You should avoid wide, longitudinal stripes, hip huggers, too many layers and too many pockets on your clothing as they will all highlight parts of your body that you would rather want to conceal.
But the most important tip of all is this one: At the end of the day, you have to wear your clothing with confidence. If you feel comfortable in your own skin then people will notice your personality much more than a little bit of extra weight. So if you fell in love with that bright pink skirt then wear it with pride! An outgoing and happy personality will outshine what you are wearing. There is no reason to dress up in something that does not make you feel comfortable. Be happy, be confident, be you.
