Fashion Frenzy and Fuzzy

Being overweight can affect a person's self-esteem, looking good is important in our society, and unfortunately, not everyone appreciates those of us with a buxom figure. However, this is no excuse not to make the effort, there are many ways in which overweight people can look great without losing weight, and this is by wearing the right clothes. True, in the past, plus size clothing was rarely fashionable, but this is no longer the case - there are no more excuses for holding on to your oversized, baggy, 'comfort' clothes. By choosing the right clothes, that look great on you, you can raise your self-esteem and feel happier.


Here are our tips for dressing a larger physique.
Firstly, you need to ensure that your underwear is properly fitted; unsightly bulges that stick out in the wrong place are never a good look. Find out your measurements by going to a specialist high-street underwear retailer - they generally have a professional in-store person who can tell you what size underwear you should be wearing, and these services are free.

In terms of the style of bra you should wear, stick to a plain variety, as these ensure that no bumps are visible when wearing tight tops, which other people may perceive as part of the body, rather than an embellishment on the bra. Always try to buy supporting underwear, as these make people appear more toned than they actually are. Never wear underwear that is too tight, these will cut in to the flesh and create lumps and bumps in places they are not meant to be.
When you have a larger figure, it is better to avoid skin-tight trousers. Conversely, it is also true that baggy trousers should be avoided too. When choosing your trousers, you need to buy a pair that hangs loosely away from the body, but the space between the material and your skin should be no greater than 0.5cm.

When you are overweight, a great way to appear slimmer is to elongate the legs. You can do this in two ways, firstly by wearing high-heels, and secondly by choosing trousers intended for a taller person. Plus size clothing is ideal to this end, as they frequently cater for taller people, as well as those who are overweight.

Again, as with trousers, tops should fit well, but without being too tight or too loose.
With any item of clothing, choosing the correct pattern is essential. Horizontal lines tend to emphasise width, and vertical lines tend to emphasise height, thus, if you want to appear taller and thinner, you need to opt for a vertical pattern, if any. When choosing the cut of your clothes, try to choose ones that flare out from the body, so tops with sleeves that flare at the cuff, and trousers with a boot cut, or flare.

Colour is also an important consideration, black, and other darker colours, are most slimming - avoid white at all costs. If you want to wear colours, make sure that they have great depth.
