Dressing up can be fun for all women, no matter what size they are. Large women who wear plus size clothes are no exception. They can dress up for a variety of occasions, including business, casual or formal ones. An excellent way to do this is to to accent a slacks, skirt or dress outfit with a color-coordinated jacket, cut to enhance a person's individual figure.
The cut of a jacket is the first thing that plus size women must consider. They should stay away from short, boxy jackets. Choosing a longer jacket that just skims the hips will give them a taller, slimmer look. It's also good to select a jacket with shoulder pads as they will add to the style of the jacket while helping to balance out the overall look.
Some plus size women have a more straight figure. A good choice for this body type is a suit with straight lines. Look for long jackets with sharp lapels that do not draw too much emphasis at the waistline. Plus size women with a curvy figure, however, should look for the very opposite. Opt for short jackets with curved lapels, and a fitted waist. In this case, a cinched jacket will accentuate the waist while minimizing the stomach area.
Jackets need to fall in the proper spot to be most flattering for you. For example, if you have a large bust, you will want to avoid jackets with pockets on the bust line. Simple cut jackets with a tapered waist are the most flattering cut for plus size women with a large bust.
Plus sized women with a larger figure will find longer jackets that elongate the hips to be the most flattering for their size. Jackets that are cut too short will draw attention to trouble areas and should be avoided.
Plus size women must choose their clothing with proportion in mind. For example, if a woman is 5'6", she will look taller in a longer jacket. If the woman is 4'11" though, the same jacket will cause her to look even shorter than she is and overwhelm her overall look. Here are some tips to help you choose the right plus size jacket length to complement you.
When choosing the length of a jacket hem be aware that the hem should not be at the widest part of your body. As an alternative, go for longer or shorter. When you choose a longer jacket, be sure to choose a more narrow pant or skirt. Your jacket or skirt should be about two thirds of the length of your overall look. Long jackets over knee length skirts and shorther jackets over longer shirts have the most flattering effect.
Scarves add a welcome touch of color to plus size jackets, and can help you appear to elongate your figure. They pull the eyes of observers toward your face. They add flair and individuality to any outfit you wear.
