Dressing a plus size over 50 body is not easy. You have to wonder what is comfortable and what is appropriate.
I don't want to dress like someone in their 20s or 30s but I want to still look glamorous and cute in my own skin. Sometimes finding tops that cover and make me feel comfortable is hard. I am voluptuous, so I know that v-neck sweaters and tops are perfect for me. I like these tops to not show too much cleavage but accent my neckline.
You have to make an assessment of your best assets. It could be your arms, breast, shapely legs, small waistline, etc. If you have pretty legs, wear skirts and dresses that hit you at the knee or below the knee.
Wear shoes that are not too high, but wear shoes that will feel comfortable but still stylish. A medium heel would be perfect. If you love high heels and can walk in them without looking uncomfortable and hunched over, that would be a great look for you.
If your arms are well-toned, do not be afraid to wear nice tanks and shells in pretty colors. Pair them with dark color pants or pants in a similar tone as your top.
If you have a small waist wear tops that nip in the waist to give you that sophisticated hourglass shape. Dresses that cinch your waist and flare dresses look great on this type of body shape. These types of dresses do not go out of style fast, and they always look good.
Wear nice undergarments that will give you a smooth silhouette. Your clothes will look that much better.
If you are apple-shaped, dresses that are fit and flare, and hit you at the knee always look good. I can never go wrong with wrap dresses because they always look nice on me. Bevy Smith mostly wears this style and it always looks classy on her.
Never wear clothes that are too tight or too short because you will feel uncomfortable and it will show.
Plus size women can wear colorful clothes just don't wear busy prints on top of prints because it will make you look bigger.
Wear tasteful jewelry that isn't too big unless it is a statement piece and just wear one so you don't take away from your total look.
If you watch a program that has plus-size women over 50 and you like their style, copy some of the elements in their wardrobe that you like.
If you do not have a trench coat please invest in one because it will always make you look pulled together and sophisticated.
Wear some cute, dark-colored jeans and nice shirts or blouses. The truth is, we can wear a lot of things that women of other ages can wear we just have to know when something may not be appropriate for us.
Do away with any clothes that look frumpy!
Keep yourself looking, good ladies!
