Plus size fashion Tip: Finding The Perfect Trousers
Plus size women can look very glamorous and fashionable so they have no need to hide their figures under dark baggy clothing. Some plus size women think they can not wear trousers but this is simply not true.
A well cut pair of trousers can be very slimming and attractive, and there are plenty of womens plus size fashion companies like Elvi.co.uk that make fabulous clothes for the more curvaceous. Firstly make sure that you are wearing the correct size for you. It doesn’t matter if the label says size 16 or size 22. It is the fit that matters. After all who is going to see the label anyway? You can cut it out if it bothers you that much. Trousers that are a size too small will make you look bigger as they will make you bulge in the wrong places.
Nicely tailored slacks that are either straight legged or with a gentle flare are the most flattering styles for larger ladies. Avoid trousers with front pleats as they add inches to your waistline. Some women also find that side fastening rather than zip front trousers suit them better as they give a smooth line under tops. If you wear a belt, don’t pull it too tight.
Tapered trousers are best avoided as they can make the hips look bigger and the legs short. Trousers with lots of pockets such as combat trousers are not the best choice for plus size ladies as they are too bulky and can make the thighs look heavy. Steer clear of clingy or shiny fabrics and skinny jeans.
And what about colour? Black is slimming but can be rather dull. If you wear black trousers, add some colour by wearing a bright top or colourful scarf.
Always make sure you try the trousers on first before you buy and try to take a friend shopping with you so you can get their opinion.
Plus size women, you can look stylish in trousers too so be proud of your curves and show them off!
