Dressing beautifully is a very important skill that can be developed. Even if you are overweight, you can still dress nicely. Through this article, you will learn how to highlight your figure, hide flaws and feel more confident in what you are wearing.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Choosing the Right Clothes

1. 1 Know which models suit you. Try to avoid horizontal stripes and excessive patterns and designs. All of this draws attention to your figure, which you most likely want to avoid. Solid color clothing is a better choice if you want to look slimmer.
   • Rule of thumb: black makes you look slimmer. In this sense, it is always safer to choose dark colors in clothes, since bright and lighter colors draw attention to the body and make it difficult to mask problem areas.
   • If you choose patterned clothing, go for vertical patterns. Any vertical stripes or patterns visually stretch the figure, and do not cut, unlike horizontal ones.
2. 2 Choose the right bra size. Statistics show that many women choose the wrong size bras. Go to the store and ask a professional to help you choose a bra - a service that many stores offer. If you choose a bra that is too small, then the breasts will look heavy, and if the bra is large, then it will simply be ugly.
   • If the bra is chosen correctly, then you will not feel that the breasts are too heavy and too large.
3. 3 Purchase shapewear. Thanks to the corrective underwear, you will improve your body shape, make your silhouette smoother, and also improve your posture. As a result of all this, the clothes will fit significantly better.
4. 4 Choose the right accessories. A wide belt, rather than a thin strap, helps to hide your tummy if you have problems in the waist area. Fancy earrings or headbands distract attention from the body and make people look at other parts of the body.
5. 5 Choose your shoes correctly. Most often, ankle-length shoes visually shorten the legs and add horizontal lines to the silhouette. Opt for high boots or ballerinas instead.Of course, shoes with heels make your legs longer, so shoes with stable heels are also a good choice.

Part 2 of 3: Demonstrating Forms

1. 1 Avoid thick fabrics and bell dresses. It is widely believed that loose, shapeless clothing hides the flaws of the figure. However, in fact, it, on the contrary, focuses on what you are trying to hide. Wearing clothes that are too big gives the impression that you are trying to hide under these clothes and spoils your silhouette. In other words, wearing oversized clothes will make you look even bigger.
2. 2 Choose pants by size. Some people think that wearing loose-fitting trousers can help smooth the silhouette and look slimmer. Others believe that you can look slimmer by wearing tight pants. But in reality, both options are wrong. Over-sized pants hide your shape and make your figure look more bulky. Buy a pair of jeans in the right size, and if you don’t find anything that fits, go to a tailor to sew the perfect pair for you. Fitted jeans will play a significant role in shaping the right silhouette.
   • Choose a slightly flared jeans ("boot cut"), that is, those in which the leg expands downwards - this will make the hips and buttocks look more proportional.
3. 3 Choose skirts. Pencil skirts look good on plump girls with natural body curves. They accentuate all curves correctly, and the figure looks more harmonious (just like "boot-cut" jeans).
4. 4 Wear A-line or Empire style dresses. Empire (high-waisted) or A-line dresses emphasize the natural curves of the body, in particular the waist, and hide the tummy, hips and buttocks. Light and flowing skirts in such dresses hide extra pounds much better than tight ones, which emphasize all imperfections.
   • Wrap dresses are versatile and will suit most women.
5. 5 Accentuate your waist. It doesn't matter what size you have, it's always good to show your figure. Choose clothes that flatter your waist. Even overweight women have an hourglass figure, and therefore it is necessary to emphasize the waist. This means that you need to wear clothes that fit and properly emphasize your dignity, and not try to hide them. You can emphasize the waist with various color combinations and patterns, vertical stripes or an unusual belt.

Part 3 of 3: How to Dress for Men

1. 1 Choose the right size clothing. Large men often try to hide their flaws under baggy clothes. They think this hides their size, but it doesn't. Clothes of the right size fit better on the body (and are more comfortable in them!) Than clothes that are large. Baggy clothes always look sloppy and unattractive.
   • Likewise, small clothing also accentuates excess weight. It is imperative that you choose the right size clothing.
2. 2 Don't wear thick clothes. The heavier the material, the more volume it adds. Thick sweaters and shirts make you look fatter than you really are. Plus, they can make you sweat harder, which is a problem for many big men.
3. 3 Stay away from casual, casual attire. More often than not, casual clothes look extremely unattractive on large men. Baggy clothes and thin T-shirts don't make fat men look attractive. In fact, the right size pants and jacket look much better on larger men than jeans and T-shirts. Try to make your wardrobe more "formal" and choose clothes that adorn you and feel more comfortable in.
4. 4 Keep it simple. Materials and clothing with excessive patterns or designs only draw attention to the body. Try to buy clothes that are solid or with very simple patterns. This will distract attention from your body and its imperfections.
5. 5 Watch your body proportions. Choose clothing that does not change body proportions. For example, if you have a large belly, do not wear low-waisted pants, as this will make your belly more visible. Try to find trousers with a regular fit, that is, at the level of the navel. This will help to hide excess belly fat and maintain normal body proportions.
   • If, due to the peculiarities of the figure, it is difficult for you to keep the pants at the level of the waist, then use suspenders instead of a belt. Suspenders look stylish and fix a similar problem.
