Plus Sizes
Queen Latifah, the late Anna Nicole Smith, Rosie O’Donell, Kirstie Alley and Tocarra Jones—what do these celebrities all have in common? That’s right, these are all women who are all in the
plus sizes category and seem to have no trouble flaunting it. As a matter of fact, today’s fashion and entertainment industry is seeing a lot of famous people who are choosing to be proud of their curves rather than starve themselves to a size 2. This should be enough inspiration for all women with plus sizes to stand up and be proud of their full and buxom figures. However, in shopping for plus size women’s clothing, the same shopping golden rule applies. Know your body type so you know what to emphasize (and what to downplay) through your outfits.
A juicy apple
Do you have a cleavage that will make any swimsuit model envious? Is your impressive bust size further highlighted by your slim arms? Do you, however, have a problematic mid-section? Then you are undoubtedly in the apple category. Your problem area is your stomach, while your strength lies in your voluptuous bust and slender limbs. Therefore, sleeveless tops with extra length can do perfectly in downplaying your mid-section while showing off your arms and breast. You can also get away with shorter skirts because of your leaner legs. For a more conservative look, sport vintage or lace long-sleeved shirts. Liven up your look with colorful scarves and accessories.
A pear made in heaven
Plus sizes also include the pear-type body. This means that you have a slender upper torso (slender neck, shoulders, arms and waist) that widens out to your hips and butt area. Alicia Keys and Jennifer Lopez are both famous examples of this body type so you have a lot of catching up to do in the fashion department. The goal is to create balance between your narrower upper torso and curvy bottom. You can achieve this goal by picking outfits that show off your slim waist while downplaying your hips. V-neck blouses and tunic tops will surely look good on you. For added pizzas, sport a trendy belt and some nice accessories.
The heart of fashion
Heart-shaped women are well-endowed at the top area of their body. This means that they have a generous bust size and hefty shoulders and arms. Wear cardigans and cowl neck blouses to maximize your assets.
