Full Figured Question - What to Wear if you Have a Fuller Figure?

This weeks question is one that is asked a lot but never really truly answered. Even in the years of me blogging the answer to this question has been more of my opinion through observation and talking to others. Really it comes down to individual taste but I think that my time of writing on this matter has given me a little insight into clothing choices for larger men and women.

1. Wear clothing that fits. I have said this in many different ways but it bears repeating. Clothes that are to loose or to tight are not flattering to plus size or any other size for that matter.
2. Alterations. Ladies men have been doing it for centuries there is nothing stopping you from having your own personal seamstress to form fit your clothes.
3. The myth says that larger individuals should not wear horizontal stripes. I say if stripes look good on you then wear then and don’t worry about what other think.
4. For the ladies. Even before you begin looking for clothes make sure that your bra is the proper size. Be professionally measured at least once a year. A proper fitting bra will ensure your clothes fit your frame properly.
5. For the men. Though it is comfortable to wear your pants below the belly to look your best especially in a suit raise your pants up.
6. When it comes to color I normally say wear what you want, but I also feel that colors that compliment your skin tone will make you look like a million bucks.
7. Accessories are a must. If your wardrobe is not that extensive carefully staging accessories can make a normally bland outfit stand out.
8. Experiment with fabrics and patterns. As you build a wardrobe mix it up with separates that way you are not stuck with a closet full of outfits that are uni-taskers (can only be worn to specific events).
9. Hips and curves do not mean you must hide and creep when it comes to clothes. If you have a feature your proud of then buy clothes that show that area off.
10. Though I like black as much as the next person there are more colors out there that will make you look good. A closet full of black won’t make you look slimmer it will make you look like have a lot of black on.

In other words, when it comes to the question of “What to wear if you have a fuller figure,” the choice is yours and yours alone. Society, friends, family, bloggers no one knows you like you do. Do and wear what you want and have fun doing it. Your efforts to look fantastic will not go unnoticed.
