Many believe that the only way for a plus size woman to have a stylish look is to pay for very expensive clothes. But there are quite a lot of things you can do to make a low budget outfit look classy. The first rule in up scaling a low budget dress is to choose a dress with pure and simple lines, don’t go for the glitz or flouncy extras.
A handbag with flounce and glitz will be a better match for a dress with simple lines. You can add light jewelry and then blow them away with your shoes. We are talking stilettos and if they match a color in your outfit even better. If stilettos is not your thing you can wear a pair of sleek high wedges but don’t wear flats especially if you are short.
The secret to matching shoes is balance. Don’t wear towering stilettos with a short skirt, the rule is to wear shorts and short skirts with flats and heels for other pieces, like pencil skirts and pants. Getting this simple rule right will help you turn any low budget outfit into one with style, let your feet do the talking.
If you cover your hips with long jackets all the time and would like to wear a beautiful top that does not cover your hips don’t despair. Take the focus away from your hips with dark colored bottoms like black, brown, navy or khaki. For a trendy look match the dark pants or skirt with a stunning pair of heels that matches a color in your top.
You may not always feel like wearing a dress with simple lines, after all we often dress to match our mood. If you like frilly dresses or are in a flirty mood, turn to A-line silhouettes or long tunics. Elongate your figure with a shrunken cardigan and an A-line skirt if you are short with wide hips.
For the wet weather wear a pair of bright and colorful rubber boots with your trench coat. An nice big oversized bag will have ample space for an umbrella.
And if your clothes keep migrating keep it in place with clear, double-sided tape. The tape comes in strips that you can stick to your skin and your clothes. It costs about $14 for a box of 36 seven-centimeter strips. Great for keeping your plunging neckline in place and your wrap skirt wrapped.
