Top accessories for plus sized ladies
This article looks at the different accessories that look good on a plus sized woman. It includes advice on choosing jewelry, shoes, handbags, scarves and other accessories.
Your clothing choices are not the only element that can have a dramatic influence on your overall appearance. Accessories can play a large role in helping to create an attractive appearance. If you are a plus sized woman, the right accessories can be used to help you appear slimmer.
Top accessories for plus sized women:
Jewelry
Your jewelry choices need to be in proportion to your frame size. So make sure you choose pieces that are structured or a little chunkier. Fine pieces are likely to get lost. Slim, dangly earrings and longer necklaces tend to look better on plus sized women. If you choose round earrings, or short choker style necklaces you are likely to create the appearance of extra width.
Shoes
When it comes to footwear you want to select styles that are proportional to your size and styles that help create length, rather then width. Avoid tiny kitten heels, because they are likely to make you look like you are teetering on your shoes. Look for more structured heels like square block heels, platforms or wedges. These add length to your silhouette, and help you look balanced. Make sure you avoid ankle straps and instead look for sling back styles. Pointy toe styles can also work well at lengthening your leg line and therefore your overall appearance. Try to stick to shoes that are in the same color as your hemline or legs for the ultimate in slimming.
Handbags
As a plus sized woman you are in luck when it comes to choosing a handbag that can fit all your belongings inside. Plus sized women look better with larger sized handbags. Avoid tiny bags, because they tend to look a bit silly with your proportions. However, try to choose a sleek structured bag over one with lots of details and buckles, because these are more slimming.
Scarves
Think long and lean when it comes to choosing scarves. Thick, bulky scarves will only add extra volume to your frame. Very long and skinny scarves, in one solid color, tend to be the most flattering.
Other accessories
As a plus sized woman you generally want to avoid adding any unnecessary bulk to your appearance. This means that you need to carefully assess any additional accessories for their slimming potential. Generally steer clear of items that have voluminous details like ruffles or gathering. If you’d like to wear a belt, it’s best to choose the same color as your garment color. Hosiery can be used to lengthen the appearance of your legs. You simply need to choose hosiery styles that match the hemline of your bottom and footwear. Also look for hosiery styles that feature subtle tone on tone stripes.
Shape wear lingerie can help take inches off your trouble zones. Make sure you wear a supportive bra that lifts your breasts to the correct height. This can take inches off your appearance because it elongates your whole torso. Also consider tummy, hip, butt and thigh control undergarments.
