The rules of plus size fashions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In this diet-obsessed, waif-model culture, designers still gear their creations toward a size 4 (a shout-out to all of the skinny fashionistas\u2014we love you, too) and their version of \u201cplus size\u201d is just a bigger size 4. Fear not! Commit these size rules to heart and watch your style quotient rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dress monochromatically<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Dressing in one color de-emphasizes your problem areas by creating one long silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Break out the heels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Heels elongate your legs, making you look slimmer in the process. Stores like Zappos.com offer a huge selection of pumps and heels from designers like Etro and Roberto Cavalli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low-low-rise is not an option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Very few people, regardless of size, can wear low-low-rise pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid crop jackets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Crop jackets draw attention to your waist and butt. Purchase well-structured jackets that hit you right below your bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vertical lines are a must<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Vertical stripes make you look thinner by drawing the eye to look up and down rather than side to side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Purchase boot-cut pants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Pencil-leg pants make big butts look even bigger. Stick with pants that have a slight flare at the bottom to create a more balanced look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find a great tailor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t throw out those great-fitting pants because they\u2019re too long. A sharp tailor will be able to hem them to your desired length for less than $20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
