Many people who wear plus size clothes believe the only color they are allowed to wear is black because it makes everyone look slimmer. Although that is true, you shouldn’t wear only that: not only would you soon get bored of it, you would also miss the chance of wearing one of the many other options available to you. By using different colors and patterns not only will you have more fun, you will also be able to draw attention to what you believe are your best assets and to create optical illusions (such as elongating your body by wearing vertical stripes, for example). Pick some good undergarments Some people wrongly assume that it's all about the clothes that you wear on the outside for everyone to see, but wearing good underwear that fits well is just as important if not more. As time goes by, more and more underwear brands create pieces that help you look and feel better about your body shape, which means that wearing a bra that fits properly as well as shape-wear knickers that hold you in all the right places will give you a much better figure. Some materials can be tricky There are many different materials used for clothes and not all of them are particularly flattering, so you must pay good attention to them. If there are any parts of your body in particular you are not comfortable with, avoid wearing clingy materials. Also, if you think the upper part of your body looks too big, never wear tight jumpers and go for loose ones instead. Pay attention to how your clothes fit Different shapes and styles can make your body look incredible, so pay as much attention as possible to the different styles out there and pick clothes that either offer built-in support or that have a style that is flattering for big bodies. Study the shape of your body Before being able to choose the most flattering clothes for yourself, make sure you study your body until you know what parts you want to disguise.
