Festive Fashion For The Curvy Girl


For some, the season of winter can be daunting as ideas of being wrapped up in layers and layers are not the most flattering, especially for us curvy girls! That's why its important that we know how to look winter wonderful. This season is packed with winter must-haves, among them is fur! It isn't easy to dress in fur being a bigger girl as it can make you look a lot bigger than you actually are, and dressing for your shape is vital. However, I've paid a visit to the local high-street stores, and I've noticed that in high demand are fur gilets! These are perfect for us curvy ladies, as they allow us to wear the latest fur trend without looking 10 sizes bigger as they are sleeveless and open jackets.
 For the ultimate on trend winter look pair a warm brown gilet with a long sleeved black top, thick trouser-like leggings, and a pair of chunky heeled ankle boots. For a more casual look, exchange the leggings for a pair of high-wasted jeans, and Ugg boots. Looks like fur can be our friend ladies!

Also a must-have this season are knee high boots! Knee high boots are essential this season as they not only look amazing, but they are extremely practical for the weather! However wearing long boots can also be difficult for women that have bigger calf's, which is why I've done some research and discovered that New Look have a whole range of wide fit calf boots as well as shoes. Not just are they wide fit, but they are also very affordable and stylish! This means that we can buy boots that cater to our needs without sacrificing style, or a heel as we all know a pointed shoe with a heel can create the illusion of slimmer legs! Knee high boots are best worn with, a pair of jeans, and a dip-hem sheer shirt, topped with a short leather jacket and heavy scarf to create levels and dimension to your look. Try to avoid skirts that end just before, or at the boot as it may appear over bearing. Also popular in the boot department are flatforms! This look has carried over from summer only in the style of a flatfrom ankle boot, this can add a grunge edge to any outfit. Lastly, this season is privy to a bit of Tartan! However busy patterns can prove to be hazardous for curvy girls as they can accentuate the area worn on. Therefore, in order to successfully wear Tartan, it should be an accessory, for example a Tartan long coat, or cardigan over any outfit can immediately put you on trend. Cardigans in particular, are also big this season. Knee, or even ankle length Cardigans with a cocoon-swing style add individual flair to your outfit and also are long enough to hide a multitude of sins if need be, and are the perfect fashionable cover up to any look.
