Trendy Plus Size

The rules
Now, there are few rules you need to follow in order to stay in fashion. In this diet-obsessed, waif-model culture, designers still gear their creations toward a size two, and their version of plus size fashion is to just make a bigger size two. Commit these size rules to heart and watch your style quotient rise.
1
Dress mono chromatically

Dressing in one color de-emphasizes your problem areas by creating one long silhouette. Wearing all black is still the simplest way to look pounds thinner.

2
Break out the heels

Heels elongate your legs, making you look slimmer in the process. Stores have a huge selection of pumps and heels. Try something classic like a black stiletto, or opt for a sexy red patent pump!

3
Low-rise is not an option

Very few people, regardless of size, can wear low-rise pants. Just because it is in style, doesn't mean it will work for you.

4
Avoid cropped jackets

Cropped jackets draw attention to your waist and butt. Purchase well-structured jackets that hit you right below your bottom. This season, military is very hot, so pick up a cute army green jacket, or something in velvet to layer over your favorite for a night out.

5
Please don't abuse the Lycra

Lycra is a privilege, not a fashion right.

6
Purchase boot cut pants

One of the season's biggest trends is the pencil leg pant, which emphasizes big butts. Stick with pants that have a slight flare at the bottom, like these from Old Navy, to create a more balanced look.

7
Find a great tailor

Don't throw out those great fitting pants because they are too long. A great tailor will be able to hem the pants to your desired length for less than 1000.

One of the trends in fashion is color blocking. Strategically placed, contrasting, yet complimentary, bold and bright colors paired together to create a unique look The color blocking trend is still in full force and I am thrilled about it. Color blocking is one of those trends that any plus size woman can pull off easily and, if you pick colors that are suitable, you can wear color blocked pieces well past their “prime” trendy season, because they can function as an alternate pattern style. Any trend or pattern that’s strong enough to wear from season to season is one that I can get behind comfortably.
