The fashion industry has tremendously witnessed changes. Full-figured women can now easily find fashionable clothing that fits their size. The challenge now lies in how best to style any outfit that would complement your body shape.
Proper choice of clothing and styling can further enhance your appearance and improve your self-confidence. A simple blend of colors can help bring out some if not all of your best physique traits.
Despite body-shaming still being an imminent activity, especially on the internet, the right style can have you stand out of the crowd and be the elephant in the room due to your exquisite style.
Here are a few styling tips to consider:
High Waist pants
A great way to bring out your hourglass figure is by donning a pair of high waist pants. The most significant advantage of such pants is that they end up covering the problematic areas giving your body a harmonious look.
For a full-figure woman, low waist jeans can end up squeezing the belly resulting in a bulge showing around your waist. A good pair of high-waist skinny jeans will do just perfect for you.
Fabric
The type of fabric you choose for your clothing is also essential in bringing out your style. Non-stretch material is highly preferable to fabric that stretches.
Be sure to choose natural fabrics such as chiffon, velvet, wool crepe, flannel, silk satin, cotton, or viscose.
Shoes
A good pair of boots can complement your body’s figure if you have wide legs. If you have a pear-shaped body, a pair of medium or high heels will do the trick. If you have a large ankle, sandals or flats would be ideal for you.

Colors and Patterns
Most people discourage wearing light colors because they may fail to complement your curvy figure. Contrary to this belief, light colors can still go well with your body. It is all a matter of finding the right balance.
If you have a broad bottom or hips, it would be best to focus much detail on the top and find suitable clothing that would narrow the lower part of your body. If you have a broader chest area, donning a T-shirt or sweater with a V-neck frame will give a height impression and give you more shape.
Don’t be discouraged; dark colors still have a slimming effect.
Find the Right Underwear
Selecting the correct type of undergarment can help in further enhancing your look. A well-fitting bra will not show off rolls on your back. If you have a full bosom, choosing the right bra for a firm hold will prevent them from sagging.
It would be best for you to show off your cleavage with the right bra.
The essential areas for curvy women are the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. High waist briefs or culottes can be a great addition to your style.
Finally, to get the best out of your curvy shape, get a competent tailor who is well versed in plus-size fashion. You may end up being way better off designing the style that will be unique to you.
