I dare you to Wear: White

My friend and I were recently invited to a white party for a mutual friend’s birthday. The idea was a little daunting at first because lets face it, as sexy plus girls we don’t run out everyday and purchase the color white. We’ve been told by many sources that darker colors make us look slimmer and therefore we should wear them because heaven knows we don’t want to appear any bigger than we are. I’m here to crush that conditioning and give you a new way to look at white. Let’s not be afraid of the white it's just the hype :P

White is such a crisp, fresh, and invigorating color and it can be pair with so many other colors it’s a necessity for any wardrobe, that is unless you’re into Goth… not that there’s anything wrong with that. But seriously who doesn’t love color and/or feeling crisp and invigorating? As I have a general love and affection for the plus girl I wouldn’t advise you to run out into the world wearing just any old white. There are some rules we must adhere too. I feel that your pieces should fit your figure and be complementary to your shape. With that said, let’s go over some wearing white DO’S and DONT’S for a plus girl to wear white and still look and feel luxuriously sexy.
Do: Rock a long white tunic with an accent belt in a darker color, this way your waist is accentuated and there’s a break in the white. Also, for those of you that don’t have an hourglass figure you can create the illusion of one! This look is always great with a darker bottom so that your white doesn’t look excessively busy.

Don’t: Run around town with dingy and discolored whites. You should always put your best foot forward and that includes looking your best. How can you feel invigorated with dingy whites? If you need some assistance in brightening the whites you currently own Rit makes a product called color remover. It’s wonderful if for brightening whites. Don’t used this product however if your whites have other colors in them; for those try rit’s, color brightener.

Do: Wear a sold BRIGHT color with a sexy WHITE pencil skirt. This skirt is great especially for the plus girl with wonderful curves and thunderous thighs. The skirt makes everything looks smooth and together. Pencil skirts are excellent for encasing wobbly bits and making your behind look luscious! Some high to low heeled shoes also make for an excellent combination with this type of skirt because you want you behind to appear perkier and your calves accentuated. Some great color suggestions are hot pink, royal blue, Kelley green, and turquoise/ teal!

Don’t: Be afraid to wear white pants. Things get dirty, that’s life. Bright white pants are good in the summer and off white or cream is best in the winter.

Do: Wear a vest or halter vest with a white shirt or tank to give a slimming silhouette to your waistline. You can see in the photos to the right that these ladies have paired a tank with a vest. This halter vest pictured allows for more white to come shining through in the back. This styling looks great with a pencil skirt, white trousers, or dark denim for a more casual Friday look.

Don’t: Forget that in most cases the silhouette of your undergarments can be seen through your white attire. So make sure you wear the appropriate colors. If you’re going for something subtle and business friendly, wear beige (nude), black, or white. If you want your sexy lingerie to POP, wear a bright color that complements or brings some attention to your outfit… or maybe just attention to your underlings!

Do: Purchase yourself some casual and everyday white shirts in styles that complement your shape. There are a number of different necklines to take advantage of and it’s nice to have some everyday tops to look crisp at the summer cook-out or outdoor concert. Below is a cool look that’s easy to put together and doesn’t look like you slaved all day to look good. Just a plain white shirt, it can be long or short sleeved with a pair of dark denim and an accent belt for some extra pizzazz.
Do: Find an oversized white men’s button up shirt and pair it with some sexy leggings, an accent belt and a brightly colored bra to create a comfortable shopping look. The belt brings your waist in and gives the illusion or silhouette of an hour glass. With this look make sure you have a couple buttons un-done to reveal a little cleave… men love to see us make their clothes sexy!
I hope we’ve all learned something today. Don’t be afraid of the great white. I’ve added some photos below of some other white pieces. Take notes on the shape and choose what’s best for you.
Happy Shopping!
