Plus size women fashion tips: Choosing a flattering clubbing outfit – Part 3
Some of the most beautiful women I have ever known have been large women. In fact, I will go so far as to rank myself among them.
Arrogance? No – Practicality. If you cannot look in the mirror and say to yourself, “Now, there is an absolutely attractive person,” then you have no business trying to make yourself flattering to other people.
You don’t have to have a super-model physique or even your own ideal physique to love how you look. Sure, if you’d like to lose a few sizes, and you think you’d be happier that way, go for it! But in the meantime, take a good look in a reflective surface – the bigger, the better – and look yourself square in the eyes. Say to yourself: “Self… today, I am sexy.” Because loving how you look is about being yourself. And that, friends, is exactly the key to finding the perfect outfit, whether you’re just out with friends or hoping to snag that hot date.
Rule Number One: Be realistic. Even if you don’t like your size, don’t be shy about it. Clothes that *fit* are far more flattering than ones that don’t, and the best way to find clothes that fit are to look for the appropriate sizes, and if absolutely uncertain, ask for help. Something that’s too tight or too loose can hide your best features, or accentuate exactly the wrong ones. Fact: A majority of women are wearing the wrong bra size! This goes back to “don’t be shy” don’t be too shy to get fitted for the right bra, or ask a salesperson or specialist to help you find the right cuts/fits of clothing, as well. If you’re not shopping or can’t find the time to be fitted, get a friend who will give you her honest opinion to help you choose the styles that fit your body shape well.
Rule Number One, again (because they’re both that important!): Be YOURSELF. Choose colors you like, and styles that represent your personality, or your mood. Feeling flirty? Choose something a little lower-cut, or perhaps add some lace. Want to be aloof and mysterious? Try out something silky, bold, but conservative. But most of all, find something that you’re *comfortable* wearing! One of the worst looks on womankind is when she’s trying to hide inside, or worse yet, *from* her clothing.
Something to consider when trying to decide on the right look for you: Beyond your outfit itself, there’s always the plethora of accessories and make-up and hairstyles that go with any woman’s true “style” session. Accessories such as handbags, scarves, belts, and shoes can make your statement for you, and as a plus, help to diversify your wardrobe without too much added cost. Once again, go with your instincts: choose your favorite colors, or whatever styles make *you* smile the best accessory for ANY outfit is a smile!
The bottom line is, if you feel comfortable and acceptable to yourself, then you can feel like others can accept you, too. And when you feel accepted, you can move on to whatever personality you’re trying to portray – sexy, professional, girl-next-door, or whatever. If you feel attractive, you’ll act attractive, and when you act attractive, it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing; you ARE attractive.
