In fashion, we consider “large size” those that go beyond 42, on the grounds that from this size, the pattern of a piece must be modified. Good. Fashion is all about cycles. Curves have long been sought after, a determining character of beauty, sensuality, even power… And they are finally coming back to the forefront, from where they inspire ever more creators.

Because it is inconceivable that a certain morphology prohibits you from following the style of your desires, we open here your special curvy women’s fashion guide.

Plus size: find your ideal look

In size 42 and above, you have an incredible range of possible styles. Appropriate this wealth to draw from it what suits you the most.

Our Personal Shoppers reveal their style secrets to enhance your plus size.

• Whatever your body type, if you are starting a style change, introduce new pieces to your wardrobe little by little. Mix them with your basics to make them your own and discover what really looks like you.
• Get inspired by plus size women you love. We too often forget the female models, yet they are very present. Observe how they emphasize their silhouette, their use of color and trends…
• Remember that following the trend is not a question of morphology but of attitude. If you feel comfortable with a trend, go for it!
• Forget the stereotypes of ‘no prints for plus sizes’ or ‘avoid stripes’. Your style is the one you assume, not the one assigned to you by default.
• Concentrate on how to sublimate this or that part of your body, rather than how to conceal another. It’s always more constructive.

The ideal dress for a curvy woman

Here are the 3 models that work every time. A favorite ?

1. The asymmetrical and short cut to energize your silhouette.
2. The monochrome to stylize your body.
3. The miniprint or the vertical stripe that elongates and redraws you.

What pants for a curvy woman

The ally to have in your wardrobe is the refined cut pants. A skinny or straight cut will suit you perfectly. Ideally, prefer a flexible material.

Avoid pants with exposed side pockets, which artificially add bulk to the hips.

For a simple and always successful outfit, combine straight cut trousers with a close-fitting top. Do the same with tight pants to harmonize your silhouette and stylize your natural proportions.

You can also enhance your natural curves with high-waisted pants. The effect is sensual and daring.
