Can plus size women wear stripes?

[Martha]

When you style stripes correctly in your fashion wardrobe it definitely has to be done correctly. Because of the fact all body types can wear stripes, plus size in particular have to be sure to wear them in the appropriate direction and size to slenderize the body. Horizontal stripes does not necessarily make you look larger it's all in the wideness and how thick the stripes appear on the body. The looker would see wide stripes plus size figure and say that person looks bigger in stripes. However vertical narrow stripes would make a person look across the body versus looking up and down the body. My over all is confidence in what you are wearing and being bold enough to slay your choices freely. Do you think plus size women can wear stripes?

Stripes are not taboo either for plus size women, you just need to be aware of the size of the stripe and the direction of the stripe. You can also combine them to form a good design.

I think so. It can be a strong statement to have stripes. Vertical stripes particularly the thin ones can make plus size women look great.
