Curvy girls can rock any style just like everyone else. The first step is to know your body shape so that you can know what to look for and what to avoid when shopping.

In the past, there weren’t very many options embraced in plus size fashion. It was about wearing baggy clothes and hiding in the crowd which also affected people’s self-esteem.

Now, things have changed. There is no much difference between plus size style and any other type of style because there are more plus size fashion gurus who serve as an inspiration to many.

The best part about being authentically stylish is that it doesn’t have to be complicated at all. Check out these style tips for the curvy girl.

Draw attention to the waist

This is the oldest trick in the book for plus size style. A simple belt for example, will pull the eye towards your defined waistline which flatters your shape.

You shouldn’t always go for loose shirts, coats and vest to hide your curves. Feel free to try more figure hugging, waist defining outfits.

Buy a variety of belts including the thick ones, embellished belts and slim belts. You can also buy more tops that are designed to clinch the waist.

Shop for shape-wear

Shape-wear is becoming a wardrobe staple for women. Everyone loves to have that flawless figure and we’ve discovered that the secret might not necessarily be in surgical enhancements after all.

Good shape-wear will give a very flattering illusion in all the right areas. Just make sure you choose those that fit you properly to avoid being squeezed.

Try and shop from different companies to see which one offers you maximum comfort. You can even go for a fitting, which will ease the stress of wondering whether you’re buying the right size or not.

Buy sturdy materials

The beauty in sturdy materials is that they look good on everyone. They hold your frame together and they look classier than other materials.

Most of these stretchy, poor quality ones distort your shape even for those who aren’t on the curvy side. Strong fabrics look better and last longer.

Always choose the right size

The cliché tip of choosing the right size will always be a fact whether you’re buying a bra, jeans, dress or any other item for that matter. This is how you can customize the style inspiration you have in mind to suit you perfectly.

Shop from a variety of stores since one might have the perfect dress size for you and the other, jackets. If you can’t find what you need, just be a little more patient until the correct size is in stock.

Another option is finding a good tailor that can customize the items you buy. In fact, all of us need a tailor because it’s not always easy finding something that fits perfectly.

Focus on your best features

Everyone has something they appreciate about their bodies. It can be your legs, your hips or even your waist. Don’t be afraid to buy those items that draw attention to those areas. It’s no lie when they say, if you have it, flaunt it!

Build your self-confidence

The icing on the cake for all these tips is self-confidence. Without it, you won’t be able to notice something you love about yourself and you probably won’t think you can pull off any style.

Break those stereotypes you’ve put on yourself and take time to fall in love with yourself all over again. This is the perfect time to toss out those extremely loose, unflattering items in your wardrobe today and start embracing the new and improved version of yourself.

If you could pick only one person to live with forever who would it be?
