Plus Size: Tips Set II

Tara Lynn, French Elle

As we continue the "how to dress plus sized fashion series", may I present two more foot falls towards full figured fabulousity.

1.  Go longer for leaner

Hinder any thought of breaking up your shapely silhouette. When presented with the opportunity to crop the length of your jacket, boot length, or trouser leg, politely decline.  When tempted by the allure of a complementary purple and yellow skirt and cardigan set, consider an analogous purple and blue combination instead.  

Keep the eye moving along the full length of your figure.  Achieve this visual path through monochromatics, a dark denim paired with heels, or a long overcoat.  In essence, fewer optical interruptions in your outline creates visual height.  And the taller you are, the leaner you are.  While you want to break apart horizontal breadths you want to extend vertical lengths.

2.  Don't ornament
(or at least only do it selectively)

What others have to borrow or counterfeit you copiously own.  Rejoice in your abundance.  Let your luxurious affluence speak for itself.  And where your body thrives, do not ornament.  Avoid ruffles, embellishments, or other volume-adding extras.  Clean sophistication will eliminate the any conflicts of interest.  

And when and where you do choose to adorn, pick garnishes in proportion to your figure. Rather than a sickly, spindled stillheto, opt for a robust yet reasonable platform.  Rather than a delicate pendant, elect a chunky bib. Your shoes, jewelry, handbag, and all other accessories should be as prosperous as your fortuitous figure.

More well fed fashion served again soon.
