Plus Sized Can Be Very Sexy

How To Do Layering For Plus-Sized Women

Most women who fall on the plus-size category are usually hesitant when it comes to layering. This is normally because a tall or a big-boned girl would avoid having to look bigger than she already is by wearing layers of too much clothing. Even the wrong choice of fabric can lead to looking heavier. But, there is no need to fret.  While the wrong choices may be unflattering, the right ones will help you create dazzling looks that are perfect for your fall and winter wardrobe.

Here are five tips to keep in mind when layering:

Black is always sexy. No other color can give you the same kind of slimming effect. These are safe options for plus-sized, hence it is always wise to invest on black pieces for your go-to look. A black blazer, for an instance, will instantly make you look business-appropriate. And a black pair of trousers, on the other hand, will make your legs look slimmer. If you also decide to go on an all-black ensemble, you can easily throw in a pop of color or a fun print for your jacket.

Go monochromatic. Of course, you do not have to limit yourself with black. You can also experiment on other colors, but staying monochromatic avoids a heavier feel with so much going on. For example, you can sport blue and play with its different shades, even throw in a print or pattern with the same color. Then, add a denim jacket for a casual touch of layering.

Try on long vests and cardigans. Choose layering items that are longer. It must fall past your waist and around your hips for an elongated figure. Avoid short cardigans and vests that may give you a wider silhouette.

Invest on nice belts. Belts are stylish and useful accessories that you need to take advantage of if you are a plus-sized. For example, you can wear a slim belt over a long cardigan to accentuate your waist and instantly give you shape. A wider belt helps too if you are donning separates, then you can throw in a jacket over your outfit.

Explore your preppy side. This is another way to layer if you are getting tired of the traditional jackets. Wear a sweater over a collared shirt for a nice, trendy finish. Choose colors that are soothing to the eye and not too loud, preferably pastels and neutral shades. Also, for your inner top, pick materials that are light and soft, like silk or chiffon. It gives you the layering effect without looking heavy or too cluttered.

The wrong way of layering can make you look heavier. But with the right ways to guide you, you can flaunt your curves and look your sexiest- even during the gloomiest of seasons that would require you to put on a lot of clothing!
