When it comes to plus-size fashion,

there are certain dos and don’ts to keep in mind. Firstly, it’s important to focus on fit, as clothes that are too tight or too loose can be unflattering. A plus-size person should also invest in shapewear and undergarments that can smooth out any lumps or bumps. Another important do is to experiment with different styles and trends, but remain mindful of what works for your body shape. On the other hand, there are a few don’ts to remember. Don’t be afraid of color, patterns, or prints; they can be flattering on a curvy figure. However, it’s recommended to avoid horizontal stripes or large prints on areas you’d rather downplay. Also, avoid clothes that are too baggy or oversized, as they can add unnecessary volume and make you look larger than you are. Overall, the key to plus-size fashion is to embrace your body and choose clothes that make you feel confident and comfortable.
