The best thing about being a plus size is that designers love to pamper you. This is a sure feel good factor, as a person with a plus size chooses their wardrobe much carefully as compared to a normal dresser. One major point is a self initiative and doing the rounds at malls, watching trends. Another point is that one should not follow fleeting fashions and invest money in trying to be in sync with the fashion parade. Dress confidently, create your own label. Dress for yourself than others.
Learn etiquettes well. Inner wear is highly essential. Research on make up and hairstyles and do peruse through glamour magazines for latest hairstyles. Use branded make up and indulge in accessories. If it is a spring summer collection, choose a frilly small printed skirt and a short top to go with it. Prefer plain tops for day wear, silks and satins go well for evening wear.
Bags are essential. Go for sleek patterns. Clutches are perfect and roomy. Avoid bulky leather ones and one with heavy handles and broad shoulder straps. The idea is to also avoid curvy, round and oval shapes. Go for quadrilateral shaped bags be it a tote bag, haversack or a carry jute bag. If you love finger rings, then order them. Remember to wear the right size, if you buy a loose ring, it will hang around within a week as rings take the shape of the finger soon. Use silver rings with peach or pink nail polish. Wedding bands look good in gold or white gold variety. Use Victorian creeper and vine designs for formal occasions in necklaces. Ankle bracelets is a good idea.
If you like funky jewelry, do not overdo it. Buy bead chains, earrings and matching bracelets too. Multi coloured bangles about a dozen can be worn in a single hand. Watches need to be of the latest kind and black is easy to coordinate with all dresses. Use simple bracelets or evil eye bracelets suit the trend. Go for opaque stones in the chain or the finger ring. For formal weddings and functions make sure to invest in quality jewelry. Such accessories for special wear have to be exclusive as they can be used for a life time.
Shoes are all about style. Cute varieties are available in formal and daily casual. Do not hide your ankle flab in sneakers and sports shoes. Try strappy heels and stilettos. Do not use moccasins to cover feet or feel embarrassed with the size of your toe nail. Pedicure well, moisturize and paint the nails well. Do not ruin your confidence with chipped nail polish. Manicure your hands and use a hand cream.
Plus size belts are available too. It is a common idea to belt the waist tight to constrict the waist line. Belts are not tummy tuckers and hence wear them the right way. While you sit or bend, belts need to be comfortable. Casual ones suit cargos and jeans. Compression socks of spandex variety restrict your feet size. Keep another pair handy to relieve you from discomfort. College casuals socks come in fluorescent colours.
Leggings, boots, hats, scarves all come in plus sizes. Keep your weekend time to find the right store that stocks the variety. Find a good tailor and hairstylist. Finally be yourself!
