There are so many different trends in the fashion industry that it is difficult to choose the exact look that will suit your body shape. When creating a wardrobe for a short girl, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- clothing should emphasize the dignity of the figure;
- it is desirable that the outfit visually increases height, and not vice versa;
- compliance with body proportions in the suit.
The main task of a stylist when creating an image is to determine the correct type of figure and its proportions. There are several types of proportions that you should rely on:
- An hourglass is an ideal figure, a standard of beauty; almost anything will suit a girl of this body type.
- The pear is a massive part of the lower body, consisting of wide hips; when choosing clothes, you need to create volume in the upper torso, focusing on the shoulders.
- Rectangle - this figure has virtually no waist, so the outfit should emphasize it.
- Triangle - wide shoulders compared to narrow hips, in this case you need to bring the figure to the type hourglass, for this purpose a balancing volume is formed on the hips.
Things that should be excluded from your wardrobe, as they visually shorten your figure:
- shapeless clothes that do not emphasize the silhouette, including oversized clothes;
- ankle length dress;
- Bermuda pants;
- hats with large brims;
- massive prints on clothes;
- horizontal stripes in a suit.
Lengthening the figure of a short woman
It will help you lengthen your figure. When choosing shoes, you should pay attention to their contrast; the shoes should be an extension of the leg so that there are no horizontal lines. IN summer period Flesh-colored shoes are suitable; in the cold season, you can choose shoes that match the color of your trousers and tights.
Shifting the waistline also lengthens the legs; petite girls should choose trousers, skirts and dresses with a high waist. You can combine them with short tops and blouses.
Vertical stripes on clothing elongate the figure, but thick vertical lines should be avoided; it is advisable that only one element of the costume be striped.
The length of the skirt is midi and maxi, in the first case it reveals the legs, in the second it hides, but both options add to the figure extra centimeters growth.
If you should avoid a hat with a long brim, a hat with a small brim will complement an elegant outfit well.
From accessories you should choose long jewelry, earrings, scarves, everything that can create additional vertical lines.
Belts should emphasize the waistline and not overlap it; we recommend giving preference to thin, elegant straps.
Bags are selected in either small or medium sizes.
Basic items for short women
A basic wardrobe for short girls can look like this: jeans or high-waisted trousers, blouse, midi skirt, classic trench coat, nude shoes, cardigan middle length, little black dress.

A capsule wardrobe is selected depending on preferences and lifestyle and can look like this:
Summer: short shorts, skirts, sundresses, dresses, tops, short-brimmed straw hats, pointed-toe shoes.
Autumn: shoes in the color of the trousers, a raincoat with a thin belt, and a short one will be popular.
Winter: classic tweed suit, monochrome pantsuit, medium bag.
Spring: off-the-shoulder dress, muted sandals, small handbag.
Wardrobe for a short woman depending on age
35 years old - a woman already knows what she wants, there are practically no restrictions on clothing at this age, the only thing we would recommend is to be careful with youth style so as not to look like a teenager.
All modeling rules for short people must be followed.
40 years - motifs in clothing are more restrained, fabrics are monochrome, not flashy. Pay attention to Reese Witherspoon's outfit in the photo; she is only 154 cm tall.
50 years old - a minimalist style gives a woman a special chic at this age.
Although people like Sarah Jessica Parker, even at 50, does not deny herself skinny jeans, which emphasizes her advantages.
10 rules for how to dress for short women
- The first rule for short women is to follow the 2/3 - 1/3 rule. This means that your clothes should not visually divide you into 2 parts. Instead, 2/3 of the body is covered by the bottom, and the remaining 1/3 is covered by the top.
- Multi-layering - The best way decorate the look, but don't overdo it.
- Don't choose dresses that stop at the calf area - either keep them short to the knees or to the ankle.
- Watch your shoulders - they should be exactly in place, not too tight or too loose.
- The same goes for the sleeves; they should reach the tip of your hands, no further. They can be shorter, but not longer.
- Plain clothes - best friends small women.
- Stay away from rectangular/square shaped outfits; They are not suitable for short girls.
- If you choose stripes, choose vertical ones, especially for one-piece dresses, trousers, etc. Tops can be horizontal.
- Heels and thick-soled shoes are the most obvious way to look taller.
Accessories and belts - always choose thin ones rather than wide and bulky ones.
Lifehack: A short girl will look not only taller, but also stylish and modern if she tucks a long scarf under her belt.
Petite girls are wonderful (no offense to tall ones). Remember the magnificent Kylie Minogue (155 cm), Salma Hayek (157 cm), Shakira (150 cm), the Olsen sisters (155 cm), Madonna (158 cm) and many other star babies.
However, from time to time everyone short girls I want to be a little taller, at least visually. What clothes should you choose to add a couple of centimeters to your height (heels don’t count)?
1. Tight-fitting clothing - yes. Baggy clothes - no
The style of a short girl is slender elegance, so oversized clothes are best left hanging in the store. Bulky items weigh down your silhouette and further reduce your height.
2. Dark colors - yes. Black color - no
4. High waist - yes. Low waist - no
The high waistline lengthens the legs and elongates the silhouette. Therefore, we say “yes” to a high waist and “no” to a low waist, since the latter, on the contrary, makes the legs shorter.
5. Sheath dress - yes. Hoodie dress - no
A sheath dress is ideal for little girls. It fits perfectly slim figure(of course) and visually increases growth. Have you seen a beautiful hoodie dress? We pass by.
In the designer clothing boutique you will find many styles of dresses.
6. Skirts above the knee - yes. Midi skirts - no
The best option for short women is skirts and dresses that are just above the knee. Midi skirts, in turn, need to be treated with caution: wear them only with high heels. Otherwise, there is a risk of becoming like a gnome princess.
7. Classic straight trousers - yes. Cropped trousers - no
I would like to say the same about jeans. Choose simple, slightly tapered models. Boyfriend jeans and any other baggy jeans are not suitable for you.
Pay attention to the designer clothing boutique.
8. Short tops - yes. Tunics - no
Tunics do not suit short girls. Better wear a short blouse or a lovely crop top.
9. Short jackets or vests - yes. Long jackets or vests - no
Miniature ladies are advised to choose the same miniature jackets: they should not end below the waist. At the same time, little girls should not wear fashionable long vests - they will pull you down.
10. Coat to the knee - yes. Long coats - no
In late autumn and early spring, little girls need to opt for elegant knee-length coats and avoid long models. By the way, .
11. Thin strap - yes. Wide belt - no
On the one hand, stylists advise petite girls to emphasize their waist with a thin belt: this technique visually increases their height. On the other hand, it is not advisable to wear wide belts, as they have the opposite effect.
12. Vertical stripes - yes. Horizontal stripes - no
Your choice is a variety of prints with vertical stripes of any width and color. Such clothes not only lengthen your figure, but also make you look slimmer. On the contrary, it’s better to forget about horizontal prints. They reduce height and visually expand the figure.
13. Graceful pumps - yes. Ankle strap shoes - no
The most suitable shoes for you are neat flesh-colored pumps. These shoes not only lengthen your legs, but also go with any outfit. It's better not to wear massive shoes with huge heels: they look pretty ridiculous on little girls. Also, don't buy: they "cut" the leg and make it shorter.
14. Ankle boots - yes. Knee-high boots - no
Ankle boots suit little girls much more than high boots (we don't mean over the knee boots, but boots that reach to the knee).
15. Small bags - yes. Massive bags - no
Maybe you are already used to huge bags in which you can put a million unnecessary things. However, petite girls are advised to wear similarly petite bags, otherwise it will look like you can get into your bag yourself.

I only agree with cropped trousers and hoodies, everyone else doesn’t. Or you also need to take into account your body type. a miniature skinny woman in a heavy maxi skirt and a voluminous sweater will look even more graceful, and a miniature plump woman will truly look like a gnome.

So you say that miniature girls are beautiful, and then brand them as gnome princesses? As if being short is bad, and all your recommendations are just to look taller. This is somehow not very good. And the recommendations are questionable, especially regarding midi length, cropped trousers, culottes, long coats, horizontal stripes. All this can and should be worn, it just needs to be done correctly. And yes, this approach to the style is possible/not possible - this is generally the end. Dictatorship of fashion)

Have mercy, ladies! All advice here or anywhere is not dogma, it is just the opinion of others. To figure out weak sides You can do it yourself. The first thing you need to do is take a photo of your bow, and in different variations. You will see for yourself what doesn't look right. I came to many of the points from the article myself and I definitely agree, but just knee-length boots suit me (just not as wide as in the photo, but just right on my leg), while mid-calf boots absolutely do not. Apply the principle: observe, compare, reflect

High boots to the knee, in the style of riding boots, especially with a wide and straight top, increase height and make a person much slimmer. Of course, if worn as in the photo, with bad shorts, a jumper and bare feet, then the growth will appear smaller.

I would like to add why girls can and should wear these disgusting tops? For example, I prefer normal sweaters and T-shirts that completely cover the stomach.

Thank you, thank you! But I’d rather walk around in the city or on vacation with a beautiful horizontal shopper bag than with a bunch of ugly plastic bags. I have worn and will wear denim cropped skinnies and breeches, the main thing is that I always look stylish in them, that’s what my husband says! And I also have a little black dress for my day off, no matter what you recommend... OK?

Ksenia Belousova, I’m small, 157 cm. Knee-length boots suit me very well, but ankle boots absolutely do not. Coats go below the knee. And midi pencil skirts.

I forgot to add that boyfriend jeans look great, but skinny jeans, on the contrary, don’t look so good. A lot depends not on height, but on body type.

My daughter wears size 54 and is 156cm tall. Young, only 40. In response to your advice, I twisted it at my temple. Wears trousers, shorts, voluminous blouses, and can wear a maxi robe. Her deep cherry colored maxi wedding dress looked stunning on her. Short haircuts don't suit her because... her round face generally becomes a pancake. In general, she is very pretty. Imagine a woman in a top with a waist of 120 cm. Of course, she can’t wear high boots; the tops don’t fasten. She generally prefers sneakers; Me too. Although I am 162cm tall. I leave high heels hzuki to those who like to disfigure their skeleton and get a bunch of problems, attributing everything to age. Although I don’t refuse small heels, like Viennese ones (2-3cm).
Curvy petite ladies have two features at once - short stature and appetizing shapes. When choosing a set, you need to set yourself a double task - try to look a little slimmer and taller. We’ll tell you in this review how to create such magic in front of your mirror.
The best online stores
Tops
Surely you are the happy owner of a magnificent bust. Remember, tops with a high neckline and voluminous neckline are contraindicated for you. Choose V-neck blouses and sweaters made from soft, flexible fabrics. It would seem like such a small thing, but it makes you look great and elongates your figure. Try to tuck your tops in - this will make your legs longer. A long sleeve You can roll it up, thereby removing unnecessary volume in the hip area.
Skirts
We will immediately introduce length restrictions - not below the knee. Fatal +2 centimeters can steal your height. Miniature curvaceous beauties are shown with a high waist. And the choice of silhouettes will pleasantly surprise you. This could be a pencil skirt, which encapsulates all the lush charms in one single harmonious silhouette. A-line models that only slightly widen at the bottom and pleated skirts are perfect.
Trousers
And again, high waist. The bare minimum in terms of fit is classic. And don't forget to tuck in your top. Give preference to a standard trouser length that will show the actual length of your legs. Rolled up or cropped legs will make you look shorter. Straight cut or fit is preferred. The extremes of skinnies and culottes are out of the question.
Dresses
A brilliant solution for all overweight ladies is a sheath dress. We will limit petite ladies in this category to knee length only. And be sure to wear a strap. This technique will emphasize your waist and lengthen your legs. A-model dresses that slightly widen towards the bottom and “shirts” made of soft fabrics are perfect.
With a dress we create a complete silhouette, so it’s time to play with graphics. Products can be monochromatic, creating a vertical line that elongates the figure. Or models with vertical stripes, but always medium in size.
Outerwear
Bulky outerwear always creates unwanted volume in the image. Therefore, we advise curvy girls of short stature to approach the choice of warm clothes with extreme caution. For warm autumn days, shortened jackets are perfect, as they visually lengthen the lower part of the body and, accordingly, the entire silhouette. For cold days, choose fitted coats and down jackets.
Timely fashion is highly adapted to any type of woman’s figure, as well as height. Therefore, any representative of the fair sex can look great if she follows some of the advice given by stylists. Today we will tell you what stylists advise overweight and short women to wear.
Full apple
The most important thing here is to make the overall image harmonious. You should not choose a top that is too light and airy; such fabric will only show the unevenness of your body. You should also avoid too revealing cutouts on blouses, sweaters and T-shirts.
Short women with an apple body type should always emphasize their legs, which will allow them to focus the attention on them. For this you can use skinny jeans, but be sure to wear a long tunic. And remember that not only black and white colors are allowed to you. You can wear bright and printed things.
Full pear
A short, plump woman with a pear-shaped figure should always emphasize her waist and hide her hips. In this case, A-silhouette dresses, wrap dresses, and empire-style dresses will suit her.
You should never choose clothes larger than yourself. This will not help you hide figure flaws, but on the contrary will make you look bigger and wider. The same goes for small sizes. If you pick up a thing end to end, it will highlight all your body irregularities, which again is not good.
The best option for short, overweight women– this is true to size. Always try on an item before purchasing and look carefully at yourself in the mirror from all sides. If anything bothers you, then you should abandon it and try on something else.
Shiny fabric
Shiny fabric is one of the few that suits such women very well. The fabric itself can be highly saturated with shine, but this option should be used for evening and special occasions. But a less pretentious fabric will allow you to wear it even to the office.
Heel
To visually make your legs longer and your height taller, you need to wear heels. They may have at least a small height, but their presence is highly desirable.
Hiding flaws correctly
Wide hips
Here you should always focus on the upper body, which will divert attention from the hips. Voluminous scarves, shallow U-necks, and jackets will help you make this correction. Choose items with vertical lines or stripes. This can be one line or several. They will visually make your height a little taller and your weight less.
Big belly
A tunic dress or a wrap dress is an excellent choice to hide a problem tummy. You should not choose wide belts and outerwear below the butt. Otherwise, your height will decrease even more.

On our website There are already articles on the topic “Plus size fashion”- where you will find tips on choosing recommendations for, a photo selection of the most . Also on our website you can find tips on choosing outerwear for crumpets- article.
The Internet offers very little free photo style advice for plus size women. And if there are sensible recommendations, then they are only in words without photo examples (but I want to see how it looks in real life). So I decided to create an article, where plus-size fashion is illustrated and grouped into 10 concise rules that are easy to remember and follow while shopping.
So let's start figuring it out, how to dress properly for plus size women, and what style of clothing a curvy lady should wear to show off the natural beauty of these curves.
Fashion for plus size people.
Rule No. 1
Choose colorful.
We are accustomed to the rule “black makes you thin” - but black people constantly “losing weight” is boring. That's why I'm revealing another secret. Even more STRONGER THAN BLACK CLOTHES, colorful wardrobe items make you look slimmer. A colorful dress may have a small pattern black- white (ribbed, checkered, geometric detail) or have a small colored pattern.
The ripple effect does wonders for your body. Firstly, the pockmarked pattern allows hide the true silhouette of your body– your volumes are visually reduced, lost in diversity. And you turn into a fragile and graceful woman who has good taste and a sense of style.
Secondly, overweight women in colorful clothes body irregularities become invisible. Fat folds, an overly protruding tummy, heavy breasts - all this is lost in the pockmarked motleyness. Therefore, variegated colors are suitable not only for dresses with a loose and fluffy cut - but also allow plus-size women to dress in tight-fitting outfits. You can safely buy such outfits in clothing stores big size– there you will definitely find short little colorful dresses. Wear them and they will completely change your view of plus size style.
And be prepared for the fact that they will pay attention to you. Therefore, if you have remained a “fat gray mouse” for a long time, you may feel awkward for some time getting used to your new style. But don't hide in your old shell of clothes. Be patient. This will pass in a couple of weeks - and you will love the new you, you will begin to maintain your posture, your gait will become confident, and your gaze will be direct, clear and calm. You will enjoy dressing stylishly and at the same time feeling at ease, very much at ease.
Regardless of your body type, you you can wear little short dresses and you will LIKE YOURSELF IN THEM. Go to the store and look for colorful things there. Try it on in front of the mirror and see the wonderful fashionable silhouette that appears on your body. You simply become a beautiful woman - and your full curves become full of perfection.
The style of the dress can be anything - variegated colors brighten everything up, even out everything, and give you the happiness of being a beautiful woman in your native forms- right now, and not someday later, when you lose weight.
A woman becomes beautiful when she decides to become beautiful. And no kilograms can stop her from doing this.
Well-groomed beautiful woman in weight has an advantage over thin beauties. Because her beauty is more energetic. A plump woman has more life, more warmth. She never has that cold and boring, plastic beauty that is often found in thin girls.
You are more alive. More real. And more attractive.
So let's dress in fashionable motley, choosing the most stylish spotted, striped and pockmarked designs. Using this “the thinning effect of variegation” you can camouflage exactly that part of the body that you consider problematic. For example, hide wide hips.
A variegated design doesn’t only work for you when it’s black and white. Exactly the same volume-masking effect is achieved with colorfully variegated items.
Little colorful dresses are what you can now buy for the spring-summer season. Short, revealing legs - and the tummy will be hidden by the variegation. The main thing is to choose styles that are neat They sit on your body, do not squeeze, do not pinch, but have some freedom of fit. Nice clothes with a small print is your friend.
Likewise, you can buy colorful skirts. For women with full hips they the best option, turning her into a fragile beauty. Colorful skirts are an opportunity to play with feminine style for ladies with curvy hips. No need to pull your plump thighs into black pants. This will not make them smaller, and your beauty will not increase. Buy fluffy colorful skirts made from light, thin fabrics in online stores - and you will become a beauty, and your hips will move beautifully under the delicate fabric, and no one will guess about their volume.
Yes, and you will soon (having picked up compliments and interested male glances) forget about this invention of yours about supposedly “ugly” hips - you will see that they are beautiful in their size. That plus size is beautiful.
And if you like summer overalls made of thin silk fabrics - so fashionable this spring-summer season - then you should try on those that have a colorful print.
Plus size fashion has the same trends that dictate the catwalks of the fashion capitals of the world. Therefore, follow the latest fashion trends and try on all the stylish trends for yourself - this way you can find out that almost all models and all styles suit chubby women, you just need to find the one that suits you. which is tailored to your size.
A plump woman can dress in any trend, The main thing is to choose a style that suits your shape.
RULE #2
Make friends with stripes.
A stripe is the same motley and ripples, only lined up in rows. And therefore the strip creates the same motley effect hiding our volumes.
A colorful vertical stripe on a blouse can visually reduce overly voluminous shoulders, overly large breasts and even out the proportions of your body. Blouses with colorful stripes and small pockmarked patterns are fashionable for large breast sizes.
Plus-size women CAN and SHOULD dress in stripes.
This rule works not only with small stripes - but also large stripes on a skirt or sundress draw attention to themselves and all that remains is well-groomed woman who wears trendy stylish things.
There is no need to be afraid of stripes - even if they are HORIZONTAL. You need to try on striped clothes - and look at your reflection in the mirror. If a beautiful woman looks at you from the mirror fashionable girl, then this is your dress.
You need to go to the store like people go on a visit - to JUST TALK WITH CLOTHES... and not just buy.
After all, how does it work? We go to choose a dress when we already HAVE TO BUY IT ANYWHERE. And we buy what suits us more or less. Well, that's enough, I already intended, I'll take this.
AND YOU SHOULD come to the store MUCH EARLIER - A MONTH before the intended purchase. Not with the anxious goal of HAVING TIME TO CHOOSE AND BUY BEFORE THE EVENING... but with the goal of simply pampering, trying on yourself, playing at being your beloved. And at the same time, discover many new styles that you just (out of the blue) took and tried on... and (lo and behold) this style did the impossible with your shapes. You are simply beautiful!
A beauty who now knows how to dress plus-size women.
Main, You need to come shopping with a beautifully made-up face, good hair styling and a fresh look - then you won’t spoil your reflection in the mirror with an unwashed head and a tired look... and you can adequately appreciate the beauty of your new stylish dress.
A plump woman who loves her body knows how to dress. To love is to cherish and nurture.
Horizontal stripes can be present as an element on a top or blazer. A striped clothing style will always work for you if all other things are also chosen stylishly and appropriately.
Checks (especially contrasting black and white) also work to disguise your shape. The right thing with a check pattern can make you look slimmer. You need to take everything and try it on - because you will never guess how beautiful you can look in this or that outfit. Fashion for plus size women is an exciting game that you play yourself, experimenting, trying out more and more new style chords.
How to dress for plus size girls.
RULE #3
Light MATTE fabrics are not fattening
The fact is that MATTE light fabric does not reflect light from you with glossy reflections, it DIFIES this light around you. And it turns out that Such a muted, non-glare surface of the fabric does not increase your dimensions, but on the contrary makes them smoother and more silhouetted. Your body, as it were, ALIGNS and is filled with a quiet glow - diffused airy light. And your forms seem ALIGNED... ELASTIC... SILHOUETTE - DIVINE.
Even white tight leggings can beautifully highlight the shape of full hips. You will look fresh and elegant. A fresh woman, from whom a glow and purity seem to emanate.
As you can see, there is a place for white clothes in plus-size fashion. even a tight fit. You just need to take the time to try it on and see what comes out of it if you add this blouse or this shirt.
White is a noble color. It cleanses and refreshes you. Put it on white wide leg trousers– and in them you will look like a marble Greek goddess. This style is worth searching carefully and persistently in online stores for large-size clothing. We found it once, bought it, and enjoyed our divinity for more than one season. You just have to take it and do it. For myself.
Wide Leg Chinos is a style that gives Fashionable style to all fat women. As you can see, even in white they drape the figure well and therefore you look good clothed woman. A woman who knows the value of her appearance, who loves her body the way it is - is proud of it and enjoys life.
Plus size fashion is no different from size 42-46 fashion. Same colors, same styles, same trends - you just need to find your style of this trend and your size.
White color can and should be combined with other BLEACHED (pastel) colors in clothes. With soft pink, ash blue, smoky and other light shades, we create a gentle style for fuller figures.
Your white clothes does not have to be boiling white like snow. You can choose pearl shade of white, ivory, milky white. These softened shades suit any skin color type and expand the range of your interesting style experiments for plus-size people.
Constantly choose, get dressed, turn around in front of the mirror, try to combine the chosen item with other elements of the wardrobe - evaluate the result and create own rules HOW TO DRESS FOR A PLUS WOMAN
The milky shade of white goes well with beige items in your wardrobe.
Pearl gray is a color that gives things nobility. In the photo we see how good pearl gray chinos look on a curvy girl. The main thing is that the fabric should not shine - give glare. It should diffuse the light softly and crumbly. Be matte, without shimmer.
You see how beautiful a curvaceous body looks if you don’t try to squeeze it into tight trousers and a tight T-shirt - but dress correctly: choose loose chinos with pinches at the waist + put on a top (even short ones) over your uncompressed tummy. When the waist of the trousers is not compressed by the stomach, this is correct. And this - ONLY THIS - can be beautiful.
There are no fat women
- There are only tight clothes.
Let's continue about the matte light fabric... If you are holding a tight-fitting knitted dress in your hands - just such a non-glare, non-glossy, but subdued matte light fabric - then Pay attention also to the DENSITY of the material. Ideally, the fabric should be Dense (thick to the touch). Because only thick fabric will sit richly on your body. Do not wrinkle with small folds and wrinkles - but give beautiful, smooth surfaces where it flows freely along the body... and stretch tightly (squeeze your flesh in silhouette) where the style requires this compression.
And if the fabric is THIN, then only for dresses that do not fit you, but flow freely without particularly sticking to the body. Such fabrics can be silk, crepe de chine, chiffon, flowing knitwear without a shiny coating (that is, matte in texture so that the light diffuses).
The dress style in the photo below is easy to find in plus size clothing stores. Choose white, pearl gray and muted shades of natural colors.
I spoke in more detail about WHAT STYLES of dresses that adorn a plus-size woman and showed photos in a special article
I repeat once again, dear plump women, - don't be afraid of bright things. Just touch the fabric and see how it plays with light. And if the light is not reflected from the fabric with glossy tints, but as if quietly dissipating on its surface with a muted, foggy glow– then be sure to try on such a thing. Your reflection in the mirror can be pleasantly transformed. And this light dress will become your favorite - because it will turn you into a woman shrouded in divine radiance.
A woman is a source of light and happiness. Dress in white to glow with happiness.
RULE #4
Don't be afraid of LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS.
Transparent, flowing fabrics - delicate, thin, playing in the wind. They flow beautifully over the body of any shape - even the most magnificent. They have two advantages.
Firstly- they don't shine. They are always beautiful with their noble matte finish. And all matte, non-reflective fabrics are friends of overweight women. Secondly, This fabric does not adhere to the body, which means it does not emphasize folds and evens out our figure.
You should definitely have light blouses, shirts and tops in your wardrobe; look for them in boutiques, and if there are no smart stores in your small town, then a second-hand store will help you out. In Europe, plus-size women are the norm. There are a lot of them, and there are also a lot of beautiful and trendy clothes for plus-size people. And these clothes end up in second-hand stores in our country. There are especially a lot of crepe de Chine, silk, light thin blouses in thrift stores - they have an unworn look (because these fabrics do not deteriorate so quickly with time) - and in second-hand stores you can find many decent and beautifully sewn fashionable blouses in your large size. Overweight women can dress beautifully anywhere and for any money - the main thing is UNDERSTAND what you are looking for. And that’s why I created this article, to give you an understanding. Conscious choice of things that decorate.
A blouse-dress with a shirt cut can also most often be found in second-hand stores. But I never see them in regular stores. I do not know why. They don't deliver them for some reason. And they look very... very beautiful on women with full hips. A long cut shirt is for full hips. With a strap at the waist it looks beautiful and gentle. Sophisticated style for plus size women who know how to dress.
Even in the cold season, dresses made from thin summer fabrics can be combined with warm wardrobe items, boots, jackets, and thick tights. That is, a plump woman can dress in thin fabrics not only in hot weather, but also in the snowy season.
Thin cotton looks good. Interesting model tunics with a designer modern cut made of thin cotton can become part of an extraordinary look . Plus size fashion can be BOLD. And needless to say, this is provocative. It's simply STYLISH. Yes, this is NON-STANDARD... but everything is strictly within limits fashion trends- which means it is relevant and appropriate.
Read fashion articles, scroll through fashion looks - memorize (take a photo on your phone) trends and then you can always “SEE them in person” on the shelves of stores, boutiques, second-hand stores and try on such a tasty and desirable trend on your figure.
Remember, search, try on and wear it with pleasure.
As I already said, thin lightweight fabrics does not have to be worn only in hot summer time. Together with finely woven items, plus size women can create autumn sets. Wear chiffon blouses under jumpers, or wear a ruffled silk top under a blazer.
Chiffon looks beautiful on curvy ladies. I have already shown how you can just as easily buy chiffon dresses and tunics and mix them with rough fabrics jeans or leather jacket. Non-standard but very trendy style for obese women - mixes of different fabric textures.
No need to dress in solid jersey (this is your aunt’s share, not yours). You are not an aunt - you are a goddess. You have simply been temporarily bewitched. But there is a spell that will fix everything - come up with this code phrase, it should be your INDIVIDUALLY CREATED one. And it tastes exactly right on your tongue. She may sound like.
I am a complete woman – full of perfection.
Or…
I'm plump and delicious.
Or…

How to dress for a plus size woman.
RULE #5
Black SHOULD NOT be boring.
The most boring clothes for obese women are black trousers and dark blouses. If you are so accustomed to the black color that makes us thin and slim, then at least don’t let it be boring. Here are some tips on how to make your black outfit interesting.
The first tip is to play with the texture of the fabric. Combine black fabrics of different densities and materials - for example, black leather + black chiffon + black silk. The main thing is not to allow the shades of black in such a mix to be different (otherwise it will look untidy).
Tip two - create draperies. If you are a fan of fluffy tunics and hoodie dresses, then try wearing them with a belt that outlines the waist and gathers the tunic into interesting folds. It is best to drape a dense fabric (for example, thick knitwear) then the folds of your drapery will be more rounded with a clear shape.
Tip three - create a clear silhouette . Black people look thin when it emphasizes the curves of your body (and does not hang like a hoodie cloud). A black silhouette dress suits not only thin women, but also plump women. If you are looking for a tight-fitting knitted dress, then choose a dense material, so the dress will not only flow around your shape, but also tighten it - make it slim.
Tip five - create interesting sets . A black tunic can be boring with jeans or trousers. But with shorts, a hat and simple jewelry, it will become part of an elegant outfit (as in the photo below). For plus-size women, this is the most comfortable way to wear even the shortest shorts, and not worry about the shape of our hips. We ensure that the legs are as open as possible and all problem areas are hidden under a stylish and fashionable tunic that flutters so caringly in the wind.
Tip six - wear transparent black . Long sheer tunics made from lightweight fabrics can be worn over black tops (rather than over bras). This way our folds on the back will not be visible. And the silhouette will become smooth and neat. If you find long transparent tunics or shirt dresses made of thin chiffon on sale, be sure to buy at least one such item for your wardrobe. It is very interesting to mix it with trousers, long dresses, and shorts. And even with short slip dresses, which you wouldn’t dare to wear on your own, but paired with such a covering tunic in the very short dress you can show off without any embarrassment, knowing that everything is covered.
But the photo below shows how to dress a plump woman if you combine them in one item of clothing at once two fashion rules for black clothing on obese women – DRAPPING + SILHOUETTE. I have already told you how trousers with a CHINOS cut suit plus-size women. This cut, loose on the hips, is also used when modeling summer overalls.
Such a jumpsuit solves 2 PROBLEMS at once - firstly, it creates a clear and beautiful silhouette; secondly, it drapes the tummy and hips - the most problematic areas for a plus-size woman.
A skirt and trousers made of flowing fabric are also an element of clothing that can be sewn from black fabric. This style lengthens the legs and elongates the overall figure. This is a style that any plus size woman can wear.
Black sets of clothes can be decorated with a brooch or jewelry. Can be mixed different fabrics(thin knitwear of a two-layer skirt + coarse cashmere coat + thick tights + black shoes with a varnish shine.
As you can see, black style for plus size people is not always pants and sweaters. Dressing in black is also a fascinating art.
Advice seventh - add a bright accessory to black . If a plump woman dresses in an undiluted black set of clothes (even with an interesting cut and silhouette), then this style still looks a little sad. And here any bright additive– instantly injects energy into the image.
This could be a richly colored handbag (right photo below). Or a blazer with a bright print thrown over the shoulders (it is better that the print also follows the rules of clothing for plus size people - for example, it has a useful striped pattern, as in the photo below).
Wear your favorite black clothes - and then take different bright things out of the closet one by one and put them on one at a time. And the mirror will tell you that this short jacket that you wear only with long skirts, suddenly unexpectedly fits into your fashionable black combi.
Fashion for plus size people means interesting combinations, expensive fabric, high-quality cut. No cheap knitwear.
Overweight women should not dress in thin knitwear - it gathers in small wrinkles and such clothes look sloppy.
You can’t dress curvy figures in stretch oil knitwear - because it shines, it treacherously emphasizes every unevenness on your body, bust straps, elastic bands from tights, fat rolls.
Expensive thick matte knitwear. And let this one such knitted item cost as much as 4 knitted blouses - but it will be an item that WORKS FOR YOUR BEAUTY.
Fashion RULE for plus size No. 6
Close the sides.
This wonderful style rule will do wonders for your figure. Any two-shelf item (one that has two hems, left and right) worn unbuttoned will immediately CUT off your silhouette, reducing it on the left and right sides.
This magical effect is well demonstrated in the photo below. Any plump woman can just as easily hide her wide hips and immediately turn into a slender woman.
Here are the options fashionable images, where this CUT SIDE rule applies. If you are used to going to work in a white shirt and black trousers, then you can complement this look with a long vest - wear it unbuttoned and become slimmer and more stylish (you can add jewelry to the look at the collar of a slightly unbuttoned shirt).
Not only a black blazer is slimming, any color of a blazer or cardigan that cuts you off from the sides instantly elongates your figure (see right photo with a gray trench coat).
Your summer jumpsuit (which I recommended a little higher) can also be complemented with a blazer with or without sleeves. And trim your body on both sides.
Be sure to look for such an item for sale - in a store, in online resources - and be sure to buy yourself such an item of clothing. You can combine it with almost any item in your wardrobe. This is an irreplaceable thing and a magic “lifesaver” for all women with plus-size figures.
Fashion for plus-size people consists of acquiring such “magic little things” that change the proportions of your body.
In the meantime, you are looking for a long sleeveless blazer. You can create the same effect of cutting the body on both sides with the help of jackets, jackets, jackets and cardigans.
Learn to dress from the examples of other plus-size women. That is why in this article I am not just giving advice - but I am giving a lot of photographs that PROVE and show how this advice WORKS IN LIFE and in fashion for obese women.

Fashion Rule No. 7
Emphasize your waist.
Curvy women have a waist when you emphasize it. Straps and belts serve this purpose. Many overweight women are embarrassed by their shape and believe that if the waist is not visible in the mirror, then it does not need to be girded. But in fact, the waist needs to be done - especially for curvy women. A strap or wide belt works wonders - namely, CREATES A SILHOUETTE.
Curvy shapes look good when there is a SILHOUETTE.
In the photo above we see good example style for crumpets - a shirt dress. A strict collar, button placket and business cut always suit plus-size women. Elements of business style add rigor to your forms. And the strap at the waist defines a clear silhouette of these strict shapes.
In the photo below there are two more sets of clothes for plus size using a thin strap. In the left photo below we again see the “TRIM THE SIDE” rule; a blue knit long sleeveless shirt solves this problem perfectly. Be sure to find and buy yourself such a style (yesterday I found exactly this model in a second-hand store, white - I will wear it with dark and pastel dresses, also with a strap).
I love second-hand stores because no one bothers you to play fashionable sentence- in boutiques, a sales consultant stands above you with a forced smile (and this is terribly disturbing) - but in a second-hand store you can hang around in a booth with a bunch of things for an hour and no one cares about you, even if this is already your fifth time in a booth with a bunch of things . And you calmly try on many clothing mixes, try different style combinations - and independently come to the conclusion of what suits you and what doesn’t (without the “wise” advice of sellers).
Defining the waist is useful both in coats and in multi-layer combinations with knitted cardigans and stoles.
Here I can advise one rule “If you put on a set of clothes - and you don’t like your reflection in the mirror - ADD A STRAP and a SCARF - and it turns out that this is your best look.”
I tested this rule on myself several times. And since then, I always take with me 2 straps (narrow and wide) and some kind of scarf when shopping - so that in the fitting room I can immediately create complete looks (fitted and draped with a scarf at the neck).
How should plus size women dress?
The same as for thin people. With pleasure and self-love.

Rule #8
Fluffy skirts for curvy figures.
And the most fashionable length this season is midi (below the knee). Fashion dictates bright prints and flowers on midi skirts.
ONE COLOR models with wide bow folds look beautiful.
If you are embarrassed by the frivolous girlish pomp of this style, then you can choose a bell skirt WITH SMALLER SPREAD OF FOLDS - more tapered, with a laconic trapezoid shape. It's almost there business style. You can safely wear this style of skirt for plus size people to work or a business meeting - and no one will say that you are a frivolous girl.

RULE #9
FLOOR-LENGTH SKIRTS elongate your figure.
Long skirts and long dresses - perhaps you previously avoided these styles for fear of turning into a “woman in a skirt”. That is, you tried on a couple of unsuccessful floor-length styles - you didn’t like your aunt’s reflection in the mirror, and you decided that toe-length is not your style.
But in vain. We need to continue searching. Try on a variety of long things (sundresses, dresses, skirts) and one day find exactly YOUR long dress. Which will fit your full figure perfectly.
In the photo below we see a dress with a color and style that made it possible to elongate a PEAR-SHAPED figure (with a pronounced butt). The zigzag pattern disguised too wide hips and full legs. And as a result, a curvy woman looks slender and tall. And if you add here the rule of “Cut off sides” - with the help of a coat - then you generally end up with a skinny girl.
Long dress + bright print with interesting geometry + fresh colors (not dusty auntie, but modern) = beautiful stylish woman. You should also try dressing in this luxuriously long style.
IN cool weather(autumn, spring) on top long dress for those who are overweight, you can wear a jacket, blazer, cotton jacket, leather jacket, shirt, cardigan.

RULE #10
Shoes are not a hindrance to style.
Plus size women have ONE STUPID EXCUSE (excuse for why they don't have feminine style): I don't wear dresses or skirts because I hate wearing shoes. The heel is not mine. I’m used to slippers, moccasins, boots - and that’s why I only wear pants and sweaters.”
That's all. Kick. At this moment, femininity dies in us. Goodbye male gaze. Goodbye compliments. The queen is dead - long live the aunt.
In the photo below, pay attention to the shoes. You can wear delicate dresses even with rough shoes if you add some elements of the same roughness to the dress (a thick cashmere blazer, large, rough-designed jewelry). And the favorite excuse of all fat women immediately disappears: I don’t wear dresses because my fat legs can’t fit into dress shoes.
You can be feminine without any dress shoes or Louboutins (although among the latter there are some that are comfortable even for those feet that do not tolerate the lifting of lasts).
Life is too short to ruin it with diets, greedy men and bad moods!

You can wear boots with the most delicate dresses. Just get yourself a few pairs of shoes ( different models and styles). Buy 2-3 new pairs every season. And in a couple of years you will have accumulated a decent collection of your favorite ones that are comfortable and suitable for dresses and skirts. A plump woman can dress beautifully with any style of shoe and any heel height.
Also very comfortable shoes (even with heels) - These are high lace up boots. You can even run in them. The main thing is to buy a good last and choose a size in which you can move your fingers in all directions. I'm size 38, but ankle boots I'm taking on size larger, 39th (so as not to wear it out, but to immediately enjoy the convenience).
Ankle stitching is a wonderful thing. A laced shoe fuses with the leg - it becomes its continuation. You feel this strong grip of the boot on your foot, and you are no longer afraid that your leg will go askew, twist, or anything else... The lacing holds the ankle joint tightly and the boots fit like a glove. You can even run in them, like in sneakers. And even the heel doesn’t feel like a FLAWLESS SUPPORT. The heel simply becomes part of your foot - an extension of the heel - comfortable and familiar. Like a second bone.
If you have not tried such models before, be sure to start trying them on (and be sure to take a size larger) - the lacing will secure it on your foot. It won't wobble or slam your heel. These are not shoes that you constantly need to keep your foot on so they don’t fly off your heel. Lace-up ankle boots fit your feet THEMSELVES.
And sandals with high weave straps work according to the same rules of PHYSICS. They also kind of LACE your legs. Pull them into a tight grip. The shoes do not wobble on the foot. It fuses with the foot - and you don’t feel the heel. You just feel that you have become taller and stand firmer on the ground (it's strange, but it's true). A thick heel is not a stiletto heel. It gives a feeling of strong and secure support when the straps secure the ankle.
Shoes become a second skin for your feet. You immediately feel reliability and convenience. And you are surprised that this high heel feels so comfortable - and you regret that you have not tried this type of shoe before (this model seemed bulky, rough to you, and you passed by without trying it on). But now - even with the lightest dresses, you wear these sandals with a wide weave of straps. And you enjoy the ease of walking, confident balancing on reliable heels.
You don't have to wear stilettos to be stylish. Comfortable summer shoes with wide straps made of soft leather can also have a slight heel rise or a wide wedge - and give a feeling of solid support.
WITH new shoes you will be able to afford any style of clothing - and finally wear beautiful dresses for full.
