Getting a more sleek appearance is not as difficult as you might think. Plus size women don’t have to have model-thin bodies to be model-beautiful. Follow a few simple fashion tips for clothing and accessories and you will have heads turning in your favor everywhere.

• Match your panty hose color to your skirt or pants and shoe color to create a more slender silhouette.
• Elongate your neck with open necklines such as v-necks, sweetheart necklines and vertical cowl necks.
• Wear shoes with a gently pointed toe.  It’s more lengthening than a rounded or square toe.
• Opt for a monochromatic outfit where your top and skirt or trousers are the same color or hue.
• Wear blazers and cardigans long and unbuttoned. This will elongate your appearance for maximum vertical lines.
• Avoid chokers.  Long necklaces or pendants are more slimming.
• Choose shoes with at least a one inch heel. The taller the better.
• Long thin scarves are a great accessory when tied loosely around the neck, creating a long, vertical line.
• Don’t wear t-straps, bows or heavy buckles on your shoes – it creates a wide, horizontal effect.
• Keep your skirt hems long enough to cover your boots.  Otherwise you create a broken line instead of a slenderizing vertical line.
• Don’t wear bulky scarves close to your neck.  Wear the trendy, knit mufflers long and dangling around your neck in the fall and winter.

Remember, when you are choosing your plus size fashion, think long and you should be able to create an outfit that gives you a more sleek and slender appearance.
