1 Shorts, Shorts and more
Shorts!!!
Despite the rather offish weather, it is Spring and
time for some skin to be shown. If you’re not comfortable with wearing shorts
and have “flabby” thighs, then don't despair. Go for shorts that are longer cut
and that sit above or below the kneecap, you’ll still make your legs look
longer. Girls who are small on top and have wider hips (Pear-shaped) should opt
for shorts in soft, floaty materials. This will flatter wider hips and is an
instant chic look; just pair with a pretty blouse and you’re Good-to-go!
2. Patterns, Stripes and
everything in between.
Patterns
are so in this season, but caution has to be taken when deciding how to wear them
and what kind of patterns work for your body type. Avoid horizontal stripped,
round shapes and tacky animal printed pants by all means! Stay far away from
them. They will make your body seem wider. Trust me, these WILL expand and
exaggerate your hips. Rather wear your prints and patterns on top in the form
of a nice fitted blazer and keep the rest neutral and monotone or keep your
prints monotonic in dress form
3. (Maxi)mize your look.
The most effortless look creating waves worldwide
is the Maxi skirt. The maxi empire disguises heavy-bottom (wide hips) figures
by gently flaring wider towards the bottom. Also try high-low maxi skirts.
Synch in a maxi skirt with a belt to create a small waist and pair with denim
crop jacket. Simple, effortless and super cute! Love!
4. Let’s get Chic!
For
a more chic look, go for the skater skirt. The skater skirt plays on the idea
of an A-line skirt, narrow on top and gently flaring wider toward the bottom.
Pair this cute skirt with a plain white tee and a skinny belt with flat
ballerina pumps. Make sure to keep it above the kneecap to avoid looking
frumpy, while creating the illusion of longer legs
5. Symmetries.
Stay away from shapes and cuts that will make you
look stiff and robotic. Dresses and skirts that are most likely to add extra
hips to the ones you already have will not be a good idea. Stick to cuts that
are flattering, flowing and light for great comfort or rather go for a nice
fitted dress that has sharp edges and cuts to it- to accentuate your features.
6. Elongate yourself.
Wide feet should be counterbalanced by a wide heel.
Thin heels draw attention to your wide feet. My suggestion? Every girl should
own a beautiful pair of wedges! These add instant glamour to any casual look
and obviously, elongate your body so you look taller without any uncomfy
hassles. Great buy for this Spring/Summer! A good pair of shoes is the best
investment you can ever make.
7. If you’ve got it,
Flaunt it.
Many thick and curvy girls are afraid to wear
short, figure-hugging dresses. Don't be! You have got curves for days so why
not show them off? It’s okay to wear tight bandage dresses that are well above
the knee or figure-hugging pencil dresses for those rather special occasions.
Just Remember to keep it simple, elegant and most of all, classy. Pair your
dress with a nice, short, fitted blazer to flatter your waist and killer
platform heels. Perfect!
8. Oh Denim!
When it comes to the right denim for thick girls I
would recommend you stick to bootlegs, wide legs and bell-bottoms. Because
these represent an A-line cut, they will help balance out your body from your
curvaceous hips to your feet. It is more than okay to wear skinny jeans- just
make sure it is the right fit for you and high-waisted to synch in your waist.
If there’s anything you should remember when wearing denim-on-denim, it should be
this: Light on top, Dark on the bottom. Simple.
9. Colour it right!
You’re
curvy, not fat! Stop wearing black to look slimmer. Yes, it helps and does work
on certain occasions but please, don't rule colour out of your wardrobe
completely. It does take confidence to pull-off bright colours and get the
colour-blocking trend correct without imitating a Christmas tree. If you’re a
bit sceptical about colour, then I suggest you go for light, pale colours. Mint
green is trending this summer, pale pinks, nude colours all add sophistication
and femininity to your look. There is no need to be afraid of colour- be
bright, beautiful and bold
10.Get
Blousey.
Blouses
can add ultimate femininity to any dull outfit. Go for light, sheer and flowy
blouses, especially if you are gifted with bigger bust. Crisp white blouses are
a must-have. They can be transformed from day to night. Pair your blouse with
high-waisted dark denims/pencil skirt or cute skater skirts. Keep the feminine
touch by adding nude platform heels and a classic red lip and my dear, you’re
ready to take on the world.
With these simple and effortless tips to looking
good this summer, I doubt you’ll go wrong. So, to all my thick girls, embrace
your curves the best way possible- Love them. #TeamThick.
