Fabulous Femininity In Plus Size Fashion

April 9th, 2009. Published under Clothing. No Comments.


The great thing about the warmer weather is the opportunity to wear pretty feminine dresses rather than trousers and jeans!

This season is all about femininity, sheer fabrics and pretty colours. Take inspiration from designers such as Yaya Aflalo, who had created some lovely summer dresses which ooze style.

Sheer fabrics are a great way to disguise large upper arms and keep you cool! Choose from empire style tops which fit over the bust and fall gently over the tummy area to give a feminine and stylish look with skirts, trousers or jeans.

Women who have a fuller figure can easily wear larger prints designs as they have the volume to show them off perfectly! Polka dots are also big this season and tops which have random dots of varying sizes are ideal for injecting a riot of colour to an outfit.

Floral prints also provide a feminine look however, the smaller floral designs should be worn by smaller sized women. Those with a fuller figure should opt for larger flowers or dresses which have one large flower pattern strategically place at the lower edge of a garment.

Colour is also important as such you should choose colours which compliment your complexion and not drain the colour from your face. Vibrant colours can look stunning on those with a darker skin tone, while paler skin tones compliment pastel shades and hues.

White is always a good option for summer. Team with vibrant colours such as turquoise or orange or pastel greens or pinks for a elegant look. Cardigans worn open and teamed with a belt are very in-vogue this season and are ideal for wearing on cooler days or after the sun has gone down.

Shrug tops make a great alternative to a cardigan and offer a soft and feminine look. Pretty crochet shrugs are perfect to wear over a shoe string top or dress and a great way to disguise large upper arms.

Feet will rejoice with the onset of the warmer weather as they are exposed to the air after months of being confined to boots and shoes!

This season strappy sandals and toe posts which have embellishments are a great way to keep with the feminine theme. Gladiator sandals are also very fashionable and are ideal for wearing with shorts, jeans and skirts. Choose metallic colours to wear in the evenings.

This season women who wear plus size clothes are spoilt for choice with the latest fashion styles and trends.
