Invest in good lingerie

Girls often take this segment of the closet for granted however they also forget that to flaunt your perfect body shape it is necessary to wear undergarments that suit your body type. Pay attention to what you wear below your dresses so that you can do justice to the dress you will be wearing.

Experimenting is the key

You will find different sizes in every other brand but just because you wear a particular size does not mean that you can't try another size (bigger/smaller) of a different brand or at a different store. You never know how something else can fit and end up looking superb on you. If you decide to stick to a certain size you might be loosing out on a lot of clothes that can flatter your body.

Dress according to your body type

We all have different body shapes and it is quite safe to say that something which may suit your body type may not work out for someone else. Find the problematic areas of your body and also the areas which you are confident about and would wish to flaunt. The key mantra is to dress in a way that you can highlight the areas you want to show off.

Footwear for the win

It is rightly said that shoes can make or break your entire look. Therefore, it is always suggested to opt for footwear that blends with your outfit. If you put extra attention on the footwear it can make you look shorter and may also add a few kgs to your frame visually. Pointy-toe shoes, open-toed footwear and neutral colours will do the best job for you.

Smart choice of stripes

Vertical prints can be your BFF's as they have got the magic to make you look slimmer and also taller. Patterns like stripes, colour-blocking and also fabrics with miniature prints in light colours create an illusion of slimmer body for girls with a curvy figure. You can also opt for diagonal stripes as they can make you look thinner.

More skin show

Necklines with a deep cut or V shape can elongate the shape of your neck & make it look lengthier. Curvy ladies should definitely invest in outfits with a V-neck because it can give you a slimmer appearance.

Wide belts are your saviour

Wide belts need to be your go-to accessory for any outfit you plan on wearing. For any & every kind of styling issue, you should have a belt handy with you. The belt can add a more structured look to your outfit that you think needs to be tailored. Just add a belt and voila you have it ready with a great highlighted waist that will flatter your curves even more.

Say bye bye to oversized clothes

Most of the girls think that wearing loose and baggy clothes will help them look slim and hide their bulges. Well, sorry ladies, the truth is that wearing oversized clothes will make you look even broader than you are. We highly suggest you to simply donate your baggy clothes and buy something which will flatter your curvy body.

Keep it straight

If you are in search of something that hugs your figure then it is advisable that you invest in straight line kurtas. If you are someone who loves wearing ethnic then this look can do wonders for you. Just wear a pretty straight-fit kurta with a pair of cigarette pants and a simple kohlapuri chappal or juttis and trust us you would look no less than a diva!

Get your staples right

Like good lingerie, it is also necessary to buy great basic pieces that can go a long way with all your outfits. A simple spaghetti top, a basic white t-shirt, black leggings or a plain long shrug. Make sure you invest in comfy and stretchable fabrics that have a smoother finish rather than the ones that completely stick to your skin. Once you have got this on the right track, layering it up accordingly is always a good option.

Lastly, we would just want to say that wear whatever makes you feel comfortable & confident. Even if something is trending & it makes you feel uncomfortable, don't wear it cause that will make you conscious & make your look completely dead. So, love what you wear and wear what you love.
