Big & Beautiful: Curvy Girl’s Guide to Style

Far too long have girls with curves been left out of fashion, and made to think they are not fashionable. And as we continue to learn that it doesn’t matter what shape or size you are, fashion is for all!
It really is a matter of figuring out your body (loving it and looking after it) and understanding what styles suit YOU. So here are some tips to go by when creating the fashionable and stylish curvy girl wardrobe:
1. Peplum and Colour blocking

























Certain pieces just work, no matter your body type. So even if you’re tired of hearing about peplums and colour-blocking, get used to it. Peplums give you a waistline likeBeyonce while covering the bulge, and colour-blocking strategically allows you to play up or play down certain body 

2. Work pieces

3. Stretch jersey

“Unlike pants and skirts, which could be frustrating to get a perfect fit when in between sizes, dresses that have less construction like fit-and-flare and caftan styles allow you to just go with the flow until you get it right.” —Reneise Francis,Market Editor
