Plus Size Gals and Women's Accessories

Aside from clothing, accessories matter a lot too. They have the ability to make you look slimmer, leaner or even more sexy. The key is picking out the right fashion accessories, and knowing which part of your body needs to be accentuated and which is not.

Great Tips to Appear Slimmer

Below are some easy ways you can follow to make you look leaner:

Know your body type
There are plus size women who have wider shoulders than their hips, while others have wider hips than their shoulders. That means, look yourself in front of the mirror to identify which part is bulky and which is okay.

Dress according to your body scale
Always consider a dress that complements your body type. It is tempting to wear bigger dresses to hide your body scale, but it will only make you look more bigger. Remember this, find a dress that elongates your body. You can check out dress with deep neckline, and something that has vertical designs. Avoid a style or design that emphasizes your body figure horizontally.

Accessorize to fit

Below are the women's accessories to take note before shopping at best online fashion retail stores:

• High heels or platforms. If you are not into high heels, you can opt for 2 inch-heels just enough to make your legs and body figure appear long and lean. For gals with wider feet, you can wear short platform. But be sure that it won't look chunky or out of proportion. Avoid strappy sandals and heels with ankle straps because it will only accentuate the hemp of your feet.

• Waist belts. The ultimate body figure enhancing accessory that you should have. Although it accentuate the horizontal line across your body, it will give more attention to the narrowness of your natural waists. Opt for narrow belts than thicker ones to make a silhouette. This way, it avoids eyes from focusing on your body figure side to side.

• Jewelry. Wear the pieces of jewelry strategically. When visiting a jewelry shop, do away with bibs and short necklaces as it can accentuate the width of your neck. Instead, pick up long necklaces to add length to a short neck.

Show some skin

This means choose a dress or a top with deeper neckline to give effect of wider torso and draw attention of the viewers to your body vertically. Another, opt for knee length skirts (or shorter) to appear your legs longer and leaner. If you're afraid to look “slutty”, make sure that the other body parts are in tact and you covered them modestly, then you have no problem.

If you want some example, you can check out Kelly Clarkson's outfit during 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, who is named by the fashion experts as one of the best dressed celebrities. She was wearing a deep neckline, knee-length dress. Plus, she also wore a pair of high heels. She was fab, sexy and stunning.

So, remember the tips above and you're way to go. For a plus size woman like you, never be afraid to show off your full-figured body with the help of women's accessories.
