Plus size women clothing hints

Clothing for plus size women doesn't have to hang loose over the entire body, be monochromatic or out of style. For plus size women, clothing should be comfortable, fashionable, flirty and powerful - just as it is for more slender women.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary for a woman to cover up completely from head to toe. Clothing for plus size women should accentuate each woman's best assets, showing a little skin or hugging a curve or two when appropriate. For example, if you have shapely legs, show them off. Have a well proportioned hourglass figure? Play up that little waist.

If you wear a 14 or larger, follow these additional tips to flatter your figure:

• Match the color of pantyhose with your skirt, or pants to shoes.
• Make sure skirts are longer than they are wide.
• Wear comfortable heels instead of flats.
• Choose V-necks for a longer profile.
• If you wear one color, mix fabrics and textures for variety.
