Know the basics of how to accentuate or
hide certain areas of your body. The colors,
cut and patterns you wear can draw people's eyes
toward or away from your figure. Here are some
basics:
Dark colors hide, while light colors highlight.
So if you like your waist, wear a light belt over
a dark shirt. If you want to hide your bottom
half, wear dark pants and a lighter top.
Big patterns will make you look bigger, while
small patterns can make you look smaller.
Avoid horizontal stripes. Stripes are okay on
plus size clothing if they are diagonal or
vertical. If you want to look larger in the bust
area, horizontal stripes will enhance the
bustline.
Don't put ruffles on anything you want to look
smaller; do put them on areas you want to
emphasize.
Wear ruched or gathered fabric on areas you
want to make look smaller. For instance, you
might see a one-piece swimsuit with ruched
panels over the belly.
Know what colors look good on you. A
flattering color can make your skin tone glow,
while the wrong one can make you look sallow
and washed-out.
