1. Know your measurements
Knowing your size is an understatement and we always encourage that if you are unsure about your measurements, make sure to stop by your local tailor. This is very ideal so at least you have an idea of your body size.
Especially for those of us who love to shop online, its almost impossible for all the online stores to be consistent with their sizes because each brand will vary with size and texture.
This is why having an idea of what your measurements is important, it gives you something to work with. Your bust, waist and hips will always be your main key measuring points.
2. Understand your body type
Once you have established your measurements , this will help you understand your body type. Common body type names are pear/triangle, apple/inverted triangle shape, hourglass shape and rectangular shape.
Regardless of the shape category you may fall in, there are many online guides to help determine the best fits for you based on this.
3. Wear the proper undergarments
Having the right undergarments is very important and can even help mold the shape of your outfit. Find the proper garments that fits and feels the most comfortable.
For starters we recommend getting a good fitted bra. This alone will help with what your wearing as a top for your fits. Always remember comfort is key.
4. Make sure it fits
Just because it looks beautiful does not mean its going to look flattering on you, if it doesn’t fit you well its not going to work. Some of us have longer legs, shorter arms, top portion shorter etc etc.
There are many different scenarios we face so just looking at the size of the item may not be enough as you may have to also try on the item to make sure it fits.
Make sure when ordering online to look for key details of the items such as is it a stretch materiel or is it a solid fit and much more to pay attention to..
5. Look to others for inspiration whether they’re plus size or not
Thank God for social media because we are able to follow and try different styles based on our favorite people. No need to limit your styling choice by ONLY paying attention to curvy or plus size inspirations. Look to ANYONE with style for inspirations as styling can always be customized to your taste.
Make sure to follow anyone that you always find yourself paying attention to their wardrobe, it’ll rub off on you.
