Wraps and capes does wonders to hide. As you hide your bulk do not shy away from facing the crowd. Confidence and lack of it shows easily. Present yourself better with good conversation skills, etiquettes and learn a few dance techniques.
Trends are not constant so it is perfectly fine if you have to miss that tank top with spaghetti straps. Perhaps you could carry of the racer back T shirt with embroided jeans better. Options are available and even the best bodies cannot carry all types of fashion trends.
Invest in a good designer. It is a relief to see all kinds of trends, casual and formal wear is well stocked in fashion apparels. Shoes and inners are well stocked with a variety in sizes, maintaining all the essentials of a size zero.
Tunics are in fashion and all sizes can carry them off well. Go for cowls, shawls and a cape for winter mornings. Pink wrap top with loose sleeves till the elbow or below does well to cover the extra inches in your upper body. Most plus sizes are free sizes and surely it is not right to buy something that feels like a blanket. Highlight you finer points.
Your wrists and ankles may not be as bulky as your upper arms and thighs. In such a case use mid calf length skirts and highlight your wrist with single bracelets or bare arms.
Caftan designing is an art. Team them with trousers, use bead work for bangles and chains and choose colours like autumn red, peaches. V caftans and try evening wear with shorter sleeves and a well cut square neck. Slip ons are easy to hide.
Tights and leggings come in a range of colours. Choose good fits and buy a pair or many to alternate them with loose tops. Work out gears are interesting with track suits, matching bandanas and shoes. Lounge wear is the best for plus sizes. Accessorize to get the right look. Organic rayon and linen wears in interesting cuts can transform a bland look to a classy one.
Silks are the best to hide shape. Go for better necklines, use a singlet inside a wide necked transparent tunic. Avoid polka dots and beach prints. Go for vertical lines. Use bottoms that are darker in colour. Do not try any bizarre contrasting colours as they scream attention and fail to bring out the best in you.
