Style guide for curvy women: How to dress in winter when you are curvy to be chic and elegant?
Winter can be a tricky time when it comes to clothing choices. Choosing pieces that are not only fashionable, but suit your body shape, while still providing comfort can be difficult. Even more, if you have curves that you want to hide. But, did you know that the colder months offer plenty of fashion possibilities? In fact, it’s the perfect time to experiment with textures, colors, and layering to create beautiful outfits that flatter the body and keep you warm!
Winter is the perfect time to experiment with textures, colors and layering
Choose materials and cuts wisely
Although the winter cold makes us snuggle up and wrap our bodies in soft, thick materials, this won’t contribute to a stylish look. This is why it is better to focus on lighter, supple and fluid materials, such as cashmere, which conform to the shape of the body without weighing it down. On the other hand, thick knit sweaters can give you volume if you don’t opt for a sleek model with a minimalist design.

In addition, let’s not forget that whatever the material, if the cut does not suit our body shape, all our efforts will be in vain. Choosing the right cut of clothing and balancing the proportions are therefore essential elements. This leads us to the next point.
The goal is to choose the right cut of the clothes and balance the proportions
Highlight the waist
If you have curves, you need to do a little more than balance the proportions. You have to highlight your curves to achieve an elegant appearance. To do this, you will need to focus on cuts that enhance your figure, such as belted coats, jeans and fitted pants. This type of clothing accentuates the waist and elongates the silhouette without adding volume.

Lengthen the silhouette
Another tip to lengthen your figure is to wear high shoes. But, if the weather doesn’t permit it or you’re just not a fan of heights, opt for vertical lines. This could be the zipper of your coat, or a monochrome outfit that will create an uninterrupted vertical line.

Choose colors and patterns wisely
Take into account that it is good to create outfits in the same tone or similar shades for the same purpose. Yet you can always add a little contrast as an accent to liven up those monochrome looks. But dark colors, appreciated for their slimming effect, are not the only ones to create elegant silhouettes. Also use patterns to highlight a part of your body that you like and vertical stripes to lengthen your silhouette.

Focus on accessories
Finally, don’t forget to put the finishing touch on your beautiful winter outfit by adding the right accessories. Don’t underestimate the role of a long necklace (which elongates the neck), a well-placed belt (which accentuates the slimmest part of the body), scarves and heeled boots (which add glamor to the look). Don’t be afraid to play with proportions and express your own style through winter looks.
