Whether it is denims or formal trousers a normal figure is not like that of a fashion model. Practical clothing is essential, there are etiquettes for wearing jeans too. An open midriff and low waist jeans does not suit an office decorum and nor do jacket suits look good at a beach party. Rules are simple, follow the guidelines and be in style.
Often people who are generously endowed avoid good cuts and tend to tent themselves with capes, drapes and loose woolen cardigans. Wool adds bulk and thermal is a better alternative. Choose fabrics in rayon, polyester and silks for winters and cool cottons, blends and linen to beat the heat. If you like wearing a tank top do it as an inner and use an over shirt.
Another myth is that plus sizes are shapeless. This is what is believed since ages and it is essential to erase such false statements. Choose a well cut jacket or coat. Keep the collars small and avoid large buttons. Small buttons down till your ankles on a full coat makes you look taller. Plus size people give up on their search for suitable garments easily. Most outlets stock a wide variety, keeping the same design in plus size. Made to order are also available and one can also choose to alter the detailing or colour.
Contrast colours cut the volume is a popular myth. It is in fact necessary to maintain a monotone colour so that the fabric does justice to the fall of the garment. Party time is for svelte only is another myth. Plus sizes can choose darker tones in velvet red, forest browns, turquoise blue and choose among georgettes and chiffon. There is definitely a necessity to avoid large prints and big polka dots. Satin has to be tailored well as this too takes the shape of the body.
Myth also revolves round the fact that big builts need to avoid make up. By all means invest in a good make up set, make time to practice the art of make up. Try a different hair colour. Certain browns and blondes do much to tone the flab of your cheeks and give you the glint in the eye. Go for a colour suiting your skin tone. Try temporary hair colours and arrive at the best one to go for a permanent one.
Stretch fabrics are good for plus sizes is another myth. Spandex waistlines are good but please avoid stretchable tights and jeans. They tend to keep forming shape as you sit, bend and balance yourself and you will loose your confidence.
Wearing flat sandals and moccasins is a complete fashion mistake. Plus size need to invest in good high heels, get the walk right and avoid boots and pumps. Casual sandals with tie ups are available and one need not always take refuge in sneakers and sports shoes.
