the Latest Trends in Women Plus Apparel

Introduction

The best part about the changing seasons is the latest trend giving women a reason to shop. The worst part is trying to fit all the latest styles onto a full figured body. For plus sized women, it has always been a challenge finding apparel that looks good. Some styles seem to only be made for the "wafer thin" bodies, leaving everyone out in the cold. But the key for plus sized women is choosing the right apparel pieces and putting them together in a way that will complement their best assists. Here is a look at some of the hottest apparel trends and how plus sized women can make them look good on their full figured body easily.

3 Trends to Try Now

Leggings and Skinny Jeans

For some plus sized women, the thought of wearing any skintight apparel is a nightmare. Yet, skinny jeans and leggings can actually be a friend to the fuller figure. They are comfortable, easy to move in and look great paired with the right top.

Dark apparel is best for the bottoms of plus sized women, so choose jeans in a dark wash or black or brown leggings. The tops you wear with these styles are important. Avoid anything clinging or tight. Opt for loose fitting babydoll or tunic tops that fall right about midthigh or slightly longer. Never wear a top that falls at the hips or shorter, this will emphasize the hips and the butt, making them look bigger than they are.

Tunics

As mentioned above, tunics are perfect with skinny jeans and leggings. But choosing the right tunic is the key. Some can be shapeless, making it appear you are wearing a mini tent, which will do nothing for your figure. Plus sized women need apparel that shows off their best assets, so choose ones with a scoop or V-neck or even one that opens at the neck with a few buttons.

A tunic should not fall too far below midthigh, and definitely not to the knees. The exception is the asymmetrical cuts, which can be long and flattering at the same time. Choose one with some shape to it and play with prints and designs. A solid bold color looks good, but a printed or even color block design adds dimension to the top, and to the outfit as a whole.

Pinafore and Shift Dresses

Full figured bodies look great in certain dresses. But sometimes, a form fitting dress that hugs the curves is not what plus sized women want in their apparel. A fun yet very feminine dress is the pinafore. They are made to slightly gather at the smallest part of the body, right under the bust line, and fall into a comfortable yet attractive line. Choose one in solids or prints, such as checks, and wear a long sleeved t-shirt underneath and your favorite boots for a trendy look.

For those nights out, a floaty shift dress is sexy and sophisticated. Choose one with a round neck accented with rhinestones or other embellishments and in layers so that the dress floats and moves with you.
