10 FASHION DON'TS FOR PLUS SIZE WOMEN
1. Don’t wear clothes that don’t fit you
Finding clothes that fit can be challenging, but we do have options. You might not have luck shopping somewhere that only caters to one body size, which usually isn’t your own. Even when they do, it’s usually just a scaled-up version for a differently shaped body — not good. Find clothes that fit, and your body and soul with thank you for it.
2. Don’t wear clothes that don’t make you feel confident
The point of looking good is feeling good, so don’t wear anything that takes away from your confidence. Even if you wore the most beautiful outfit, if it doesn’t make you feel confident, you won’t look confident. How you feel has everything to do with how you look.
3. Don’t settle for what the store has
If you don’t find something you like at the store your shopping at, don’t feel like you have to fit into whatever they’re selling. You can find plus-size fashion now more than ever before, so you shouldn’t ever have to settle for what the store has.
4. Don’t wear fabrics that are stiff in the wrong areas
With plus-size fashion, stretch is your best friend. It not only makes your clothes more comfortable, but it also accentuates your curves the way you want them to be. Stiff fabrics in the wrong areas can create awkward bulging that doesn’t look good.
5. Don’t shop without measurements
There’s no one size fits all sizes when it comes to plus-size fashion. When you shop for clothes online, it’s always a good idea to know your measurements. Check to see if the store you’re shopping from has their measurements listed with their sizes. If they do, you can buy your clothes with some confidence.
6. Don’t shop with brands that aren’t inclusive
Many brands just haven’t caught on to the millions of plus-size women who are shopping for clothes. The brands that do cater to us are underrepresented and need your support. Shop with inclusive brands and don’t force your body into fashion that wasn’t made for you.
7. Don’t buy fast fashion
Fast fashion isn’t a good idea for a variety of reasons. They don’t last, they pollute the environment, and they quickly go out of style. You can do your part for the environment and enjoy timeless styles by shopping at a plus-size fashion store.
8. Don’t hide your curves
Most advice we hear tells us to hide our curves. In other words, they’re telling you to pretend your body doesn’t look the way it does, as if it needs to look different. Don’t hide your curves. Show them off.
9. Don’t let people tell you curvy women can’t wear something
The amount of fashion advice telling plus-size ladies not to wear patterns that make us look wider, dresses that show our legs, or tops that reveal our arms and shoulders is ridiculous. Wear what makes you feel good.
10. Don’t stop feeling beautiful
No matter what fashion advice you run into, don’t stop feeling beautiful. Love your body, love who you are, and most of all, love the clothes you wear. Visit Poshe Shoppe for high-quality fashion made for you and only you.
