The summer season offers so much fun and enjoyable activities. The weather is great and people are more willing to hang out and spend time outside. Of course, magical summer days require appropriate clothing style to make them even more special.
Unfortunately, some girls believe that they cannot enjoy themselves to the fullest during warmer months because of their body shape. Don’t do this to yourself – your curves are gorgeous and with just a couple of helpful tips and tricks, you can rock your preferred fashion style confidently.
Always opt for cotton
When choosing your perfect summer dress, you have to realize that not every material will feel pleasant and comfortable when up against summer heat. In that respect, always choose cotton for the material of your dresses and other garments that cling to your curves. It will reduce sweating and it won’t stick to your body the way that you find unflattering. The breeziness of cotton is undoubtedly the key to your unforgettable summer.
Hi-low hemline to the rescue
When it comes to dresses and how to choose the right one for you, material is not the only thing you should pay attention to. Thanks to amazing choices when it comes to plus size dresses for summer, you can easily get away with whatever dress length you like if you opt for the fabulous hi-low hemline trick. That way, you won’t have to worry about your dress lifting up and you’ll be able to move around freely and confidently.
All about shorts
Shorts are perfectly fine to wear during warmer months and for a plus size lady, they can be used as a helpful accessory or as a proper layering part of an outfit. So, you can wear short and soft shorts under skirts and dresses so that you can effectively reduce the possibility of your thighs chafing. When it comes to the latter option, it can get hard to find a pair of shorts that flatter your shape completely. In that respect, feel free to rock some “boyfriend” style shorts; you can even make them yourself
Loose fit makes the difference
When it comes to summery tops, it’s important to be very picky even if that means that you’ll need to practice some patience in finding the right cut and design. In general, stay away from really tight tank tops that can cut into your underarm and make you feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, loose fit tops don’t have to look boxy or overly tomboyish. As long as the straps are not too tight and the top falls nicely without tightening up around your love handles, you’re good to go. Of course, you can take your time to find a top in a nice color or with really cute patterns.
Reconsider V neckline
Curvy ladies who want to tone down the size of their chests should definitely try to avoid tops with a V neckline. But, if you really like the effect that this neckline gives to your overall outfit when layered with something underneath, you can make this combo work for summer as well. Of course, you don’t need two layers when it’s hot outside; so, you can opt for bandeau bras and even fake cami pieces that attach to your bra, making an illusion of a real cami underneath your top.
Embrace your curves and love your body. That way, all the above-mentioned tips will not feel as a chore but as a fun way to get the most out of your look and style. Remember, there’s nothing more attractive and summery than confidence and a big bright smile.
