Fashion speaks a universal language that is far more powerful than hackneyed ideas about body types and body images generally perpetuated in society. Irrespective of the number of pounds you weigh, your unabashed beauty deserves to be celebrated exactly the way you want.
Having said that, here we bring to you a list of styling tips and tricks focused on ethnic outfits that can help you deal with your plus size fashion concerns better.
1. Fabric Trick
Flowing lightweight fabrics like georgette and satin conjure a slimming look by gliding seamlessly along your curves and allowing more room for movement. Ethnic outfits are perfect for plus-size divas because they grace the curves like nothing else.
2. Must-have Monochromes
Stick to one colour when putting together an outfit. Single toned fashion palettes create a slimming effect. Traditional dress for women in monotonous colour schemes effectively disguises the unwanted flab and lumps by creating an even and balanced look that makes you look flatteringly slimmer.
3. Darker the better
Hues like blue, magenta, maroon and black create help accentuate the curves and camouflage the fatty areas. Ethnic outfits in darker shades suit plus size women better because by minimising exposure they effectively camouflage body weight.
4. Selective Sleeves
Ethnic attire with puffy and billowy sleeves add more coverage to the arms helping you look slim. Nowadays ethnic outfits are available in a wide range of sleeve styles varying from balloon sleeves to bishop ones, all of which facilitate a slimming effect.
5. Scintillating silhouettes
Go for ensembles that delineate your curves gracefully without drawing attention to the inconvenient lumps and flabs, like A-line anarkalis and empire-waist kurtis. Choose fabrics that drape well and enhance your figure while providing comfort all day long.
6. Neckline nitty-gritty
Ethnic attire with deep necklines like V and sweetheart styles are suitable for plus size women because they draw attention away from the flab around the chin and neck while adding a touch of grace to your overall look.
7. V for Vertical
Outfits embellished with vertical patterns like pinstripes or vertical colour bock, not only create an elongated illusion but also a stylish flair to your ensemble, making you look taller and slimmer.
8. Drape it up
For a flattering effect try layering your outfit with a shrug or jacket that can easily camouflage those extra pounds making you like slim. Layers when casually thrown in can instantly turn an ethnic outfit into a flowy and flaring number that makes one seem slimmer.
9. Print power
Small prints are more in number and individually take up less surface area of the fabric concocting a slimming effect, especially around areas where the flabs tend to be more prominent. Steer clear of certain patterns and motifs like buttis and polka dots to avoid looking broader.
10. Bottoms game on
Compliment a tacky top with subtler bottoms to strike an equilibrium in the overall outfit and look falteringly slim. Since plus size women tend to have a heavier torso region, wisely chosen bottoms create a slimming effect by diverting attention from that region towards the legs and the rest of the outfit.
11. Support right
Make sure your undergarments are well-fitted and structured enough to provide your features with perfect support rendering them shapely and beautiful. Ethnic outfits often come with an interior cancan lining which keeps the wear in perfect shape and also supports the curves underneath.
12. Flattering footwear
Consider footwear that elongates your legs and is easy on your feet. Opt for heels or wedges to create an illusion to your height or go for pointed toe flats for a sleek and sophisticated look that complements your outfits.
13. Bank on accessories
Let your face do the talking with bold, statement accessories like earrings, necklaces and maang-tikas to draw attention away from those extra pounds. Play with colours and designs that complement your outfit, showcasing your unique style.
14. Opt for longer Kurtis and tunics
Outfits that are long in design and fall well below the hip area provide a slimming look and comfortable coverage. Kurtis and tunics are two of the most popular ethnic outfits and come in convenient styles and shades that are suited for plus size divas.
Since time immemorial, women have been told that trendy ensembles suit only slim and “perfect” bodies. Today the fashion scene is fortunately much more inclusive and seeks to cater to the requirements of plus size women.
At KALKI Fashion, we believe that while no such thing as a perfect body exists, a perfect fit definitely does! From our extensive range of ethnic attire, you can choose traditional dresses for men and women who need not slim down to fit the clothes but can opt for clothes that fit them.
