Summer Inspirations

Greetings babes, I apologise for the lack of updates as I have been really busy with a hectic schedule recently. However, I shall make a constant effort to blog more often now so that you babes will receive the latest & hopefully (one of) the best scoops in the Plus Size community(:

So for today, I shall blog on Summer Inspirations; Summer wardrobe updates for the year-round Summer city Singapore ^.^

Firstly, having experience Summer nearly everyday of the year does not mean being stuck to the usual wardrobe choices. There are plenty of choices for curvy women to experiment or play around with when it comes to updating their current wardrobe choices. Here are some tips on how to update your wardrobe with this season's Summer trends..

Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are perfect for plus size women. Most importantly, we need to choose maxi dresses that flatters our body shape.  Try to opt for open/wide necklines like a plunging V or sweetheart neckline to add emphasis to the chest area and select maxi dresses with thicker shoulder straps to balance out our body proportions.

Instead of the usual plain/mono basic colours, experiment with animal prints, digital prints and creative patterns to add zest and spruce up your styling. Lastly, don't forget to accessorize!

Kaftans

Another alternative to the maxi dress is the Kaftan. Plus size women can wear the Kaftan as a cover-up/ overlay. Choose a kaftan that creates a sexy silhouette by ensuring that it is cinched at the waist or has a shapely cutting. Short or long Kaftans both do the trick. However, avoid Kaftans with poor cutting that will make you look like you are throwing a curtain on your body frame as it adds unnecessary 'visual weight'.

Sheer Blouses / Dresses

Being constantly exposed to the hot and humid weather of Singapore, light fabrics become a wardrobe essential. Chiffon is one of such fabrics that are great to wear under such weather conditions and it is relatively easy to pair with your favourite pants, leggings, shorts or even skirts. Summer is all about the florals, dots, motifs, appliques and zany colour-clashing! Talk about brightening up the world~ ;)

One Piece Swim Suits

If you are thinking of heading to the beach right now, show off those curves of yours with a one piece swim suit that accentuates that shapely figure.  Make sure that your swimsuit effectively supports your boobs if you are heavy top, by going for halter/strappy ones for that 'lift'. For a more slimming effect, opt for mono shades or gradient colours. But of course, if you think you have what it takes to stand out from the crowd, animal prints are a sure-bet! ^.^

High Waist Bikinis

Alternatively, you can bring back the retro vibe with the high waist trend. High waist bikinis offer a fuller coverage than a regular bikini, perfect for plus size women. And, you may choose to wear it with a skirt or shorts. Channel the seductive diva with a red bikini or go for dots for that super-cute lollita look(:
