The bottom line is simple: Your outfit should make you look taller and slimmer, and it should accentuate your beautiful curves. The following are some easy-to-follow plus size fashion tips.

You should wear one color. Wearing one color creates continuity in the appearance of your body; thus, you look taller and slimmer. Choose a top that is a different color from your bottom and you will achieve the opposite effect.

Pantyhose hue should match your skirt or pant and shoe color.

You can create contrast color or texture with an unbuttoned blazer or cardigan sweater.

Wear shoes with a heel one inch or taller.

Certain eye-catching accessories, such as a glamorous scarf, a classy brooch and a pair of dangling earrings, will draw one's gaze and attention upward from the waist and hips. If you wear a belt or sash, you'll draw attention to your waist and hips. Wide belts will cut you visually in half.

Wear long necklaces and pendants and avoid chokers.

You will elongate the appearance of your neck with v-neck shirts and v-neck sweaters.

Stripes on shirts should be vertical, and you should wear blazers and cardigan sweaters unbuttoned for a vertical look.

To accentuate the curves of your lower body, wear apparel with additional detail in the areas you want to accentuate, such as pants with a pocket design.

Want to showcase your bust? Short sleeves fall parallel to the chest, drawing the eye to rest in that area. Where long sleeves to take emphasis away from the bust.

Another essential plus size fashion tip is to wear longer skirts for a slender look, certainly skirts that are longer than they are wide. Long dresses work well too.
