Tips on Shopping for Outfits For Real Women

By Tiffany Hart


The humorous thing about fashion for women is the model on the catwalk. Does anyone in real life weigh that little? Of course, not. When it comes to real life, clothing for plus size women is both necessary and flourishing.

Angelina Jolie once said she finally understood that men did not really like rail thin women, instead preferring curves and something real. If she feels that way, you certainly have no reason to be ashamed that you cannot fit into a size 1!

Traditionally, full figured women have often chosen shapeless clothes that hide their curves. Do not take this approach when buying clothes. It is not an appealing look. Your goal is to emphasize your strengths and minimize your liabilities.

I happen to be a fan of black clothing. Unfortunately, it is not a good look for me or any full figured woman. Black tends to flatten us out and make our skin look blemished. Avoid it completely or at least restrict it to shoes and accessories.

Pants can be a troubling area for plus size women. It should not be. Avoid easy fit pants. Instead, look for a size that is comfortable, but go with a style that has a straight or slightly flared leg. This will take the focus away from your hips.

How many outfits have you seen with large graphics on them? We are not kids! I hate these. I realize it is only my opinion, but going with less flamboyant clothing is classier. You can add some sizzle to the outfit with accessories.

I realize there are many women out there who will disagree with this view. If you are one of them, try to go with graphics that match your size. If you are tall, you can go with bigger ones. If short, try to keep them smaller.

Regardless of the type of clothing you buy, make sure you get the correct size. All to often, it can be easy to buy smaller sizes in the hope you will diet or whatnot. Comfort is the key. Do not cheat yourself. Get the right size.

Finding plus size clothing can be a problem as well. The best options are at stores that specialize in it. Online options like DivaBras.com are excellent and offer free shipping. Use them if there is not a specialty store in your area.

Do not shy away or be embarrassed by the fact you are a plus size women. There simply is not need. You have gorgeous curves and plenty of positive aspects. Be proud and buy clothes that emphasize your good points.
