Plus Size Style Guide: Love Your Body, Show Your Style

The body positivity movement is transforming fashion, but its reflection on the field is still insufficient. Plus size individuals' need for style guides is no less than that of slim-bodied individuals. The aim here is not to hide the body, but to highlight it.

Wrap dresses and blouses are magical pieces that adapt to every body regardless of body type. The V-neck opening elongates height, the tie at the waist emphasizes the body at its slimmest point, and the fabric naturally flows to reveal body contours.

There are no rules about color and pattern. The 'dark colors slim' cliché is a thing of the past. Today, bold colors, large prints, and shiny fabrics are among the most powerful ways to embrace plus size fashion.

Brand recommendations: Universal Standard, Eloquii, Good American, ASOS Curve offer increasingly strong collections each season. Focus on fit; a piece with the right fit is much more important than the size number.

Finding your personal style is a process of discovery. By experimenting with different fabrics, colors, and cuts, you can determine the silhouette in which you feel most comfortable and confident.

Never underestimate the power of accessories. You can elevate even a basic jean-and-tee look with a chic belt, a quality bag, or elegant jewelry.
