Fashion tips for plus sizes

http://www.confidencestyle.co.nz/

Be comfortable with what you wear.The most important ingredient in looking good in what you wear is feeling good and comfortable in it. A positive attitude towards your dressing sense and appropriate display of self-confidence through your clothes is very essential to appear stylish.

Although black always appears to make you look slimmer, try outfits with dissimilar colors. This would help in enhancing your personality and also add to the variations you can try with your looks.

If you have a heavy body but slimmer legs, do non feel embarrassed to show them off by wearing knee-length skirts, etc. In case your legs are not that slim – you still have many choices in how to cover them up and yet look pretty in your outfit. Why not consider an evening gown, trousers, long skirts etc.

 Wear appropriate undergarments to fit with your dress so that your body shape does not look disproportionate in a particular outfit.

Choose dresses that are flattering

knee lenght - one color

Empire waist dress

V-neck dress embellished

Wrap style dress

For heavy bodies it is always recommended to have shorter heels or wedges rather than the pencil shaped ones, mainly because a box heel would balance plus sizing body much better than a pencil heel.

For the office look

Get down to business with slimming black capris: simple yet chic, they demand a top that flatters your figure yet still looks professional. My number-one choice? The sleeveless wrap blouse  with its deep V-neckline, feminine ruching, and waist-defining lateral tie. 

Maxi dresses yes or no?

What to wear to a Job Interview in the Summer?

Business managers use job interviews to evaluate candidates' professionalism and judge how well they will fit within the company's culture. Dressing professionally and comfortably during a job interview helps a woman make a successful first impression. Equally important are good grooming and personal hygiene. Unfortunately, if a job interview takes place during the summer, standard professional attire can lead to perspiration, a disheveled appearance and even body odor. When interviewing for a job in the summer, it is important to dress sharply but also comfortably for warm weather to avoid feeling uncomfortable during the interview.

1. Choose subtle solors

   • Warmer months mean lighter, brighter clothing colors, but the rule of thumb for a job interview is to always dress conservatively. Avoid bright hues or bold patterns and opt for a white or pastel blouse to pair with a suit skirt or slacks. Sundresses are a more casual option that may be acceptable for an interview with an informal company, but some employers may not consider them as professional as a business suit with slacks or a skirt. Jeans and shorts are too casual for any job interview.

   Wear summer fabrics

   • Be sure to wear a breathable fabric to the interview. Choose clothing that does not show perspiration marks or cling to sweat-dampened skin. Wrinkle-resistant fabrics are ideal because they will not crease in the car on the way to the interview. Remember that most interviews take place in air-conditioned offices, so consider an outfit with a blouse worn under a jacket, and wait to put on the jacket until you reach the interview site.

   Cover up

   • Although women tend to wear less clothing in the summer, a job interview is not the time to show skin. Blouses with long or three-quarter sleeves are much more professional than sleeveless tops. Never wear a low-cut blouse to a job interview. If a skirt is worn, it should not be shorter than knee-length. Shoes should be closed-toe pumps or flats, not sandals. Pantyhose in a skin-matching color look more professional than bare legs.
     
     

     

   Miminize makeup and accessories

   • A clean, tidy appearance is important during a job interview. Especially in the summer, always shower just before dressing for an interview. Hair should be completely dry and worn in a professional style, and jewelry should be kept to a minimum. Makeup should be light and natural, not overdone. Avoid wearing heavy perfume to the job interview to cover up perspiration or odors. Opt for a very light scent such as a body mist, or avoid perfume altogether.
