[post_page_title]Here are some curvy girl style hacks:[/post_page_title]
- Invest in proper undergarments. This one isn’t talked about enough, but a good bra can do some serious wonders for the rest of your outfit. A proper fit means you stand straighter and your bust is where it should be, gravity speaking. Another issue is if your underwear is too low or tight, make sure the fit works for your figure and that it doesn’t cut you in the waist, creating the muffin top we are all trying to avoid.
- Spanx are there for a reason. Embrace the Spanx! If you are wearing a tight dress but are not a size 2 or 4, or have a flat stomach, a pair of Spanx are the difference in your comfort level. I know that there is a certain LBD I own that I would never wear without Spanx, it’s just too unforgiving. Spanx have gotten a bad rep over the years as something only overweight women wear, I say, it’s for anyone who wants a little extra backup in an article of clothing.
- Layer, baby! I have always been the kind of girl who layers her clothing. Not so much because of my curves but more to do with the fact that my body temperature is all over the place. However, what I did find was that layering gave me more options of styling and did hide certain areas I was happy to cover up. For example, in the cooler days, I will wear a shirt, a cardigan and a jacket instead of one large heavy sweater. Another thing I love to wear is oversized clothing, especially shirts and sweaters that are longer and so I can wear with any pair of pants I want.
The most important thing to remember is that we are all unique and beautiful in our own way and no matter how we dress, we have something singular to offer the world, since no one is like another.
