7 Styling Hacks That Work Every Time
I’ll mention the styling hacks that works every time. Let's dive right in!
1. You need to define your waist.
Try out belted dresses and high-waisted pants. Trust me, they fit well and they boost your confidence. The good thing is they creates an hourglass shape.
2. It's necessary to master the vertical lines.
This you can do by wearing V-neck tops, long cardigans and column dresses. They work perfectly for plus size.
3. Make sure to choose Supportive Fabrics.
I will recommend choosing stretchy cotton, ponte knit or structured denim. It's better to avoid thin jerseys especially the ones that clings or stiff fabrics.
4. Highlight Your "Power Zone"
This is a very important point to note as well. You should love your arms and your leg by wearing something that fits well on them.
5. Perfect Proportions
It is crucial to focus on creating a flattering silhouette. Combining flowy tops with fitted bottoms or loose pants with fitted tops is probably the best to create a more balanced look.
6. Invest in Shapewear (Optional!)
Investing in shapewear can be very useful for special events or occasions. I recommend you try high-waisted shorts that can help smooth out the lines and provide you a more streamlined look.
7. Elevate with Tailoring
Tailoring is extremely important as it can make a significant difference in how clothes fit and look on you. Doing simple alterations like hemming pants or taking in waistbands can make a big difference in creating a more polished look.

3 Plus-Size Styling Myths
1. Baggy clothes hide your body.
A lot of people think that putting on oversized clothes will actually mask their body figure, which is not the case because boxy figures can emphasize size more than concealing it.
Fitted clothing, however, does not necessarily imply tight and uncomfortable clothing. The clothes must fit body shape and gives a better look.
2). Avoid prints/color.
There is a myth that bigger women need to wear dark and solid colors to look skinnier, however, this can restrict one’s personality and style. On the contrary, bold prints, stripes and vibrant colors will make you look confident.
3). No crop tops/shorts.
I don't know where people get the idea that plus-size women can't wear crop tops or shorts. The thought that the plus-size women are not only able to wear crop tops can make fashion very limiting. Crop tops can be combined with high-waisted jeans to create a flattering look and it emphasizes all the best parts of the body.
