If you consider yourself a plus-size, sometimes finding stylish pieces that hug your curves in just the right places can be a tad bit challenging. However, it is very possible to hack it when you know which cuts and silhouettes to look out for. No matter your shape, size, or skin tone, you’ll always look great in something that is designed for your measurements, whether it’s jeans, a suit, or a dress (or yoga pants and biker shorts maybe?), with the right plus-size style guide.

A growing number of brands are embracing inclusive sizing and creating fashion-forward designs. Since not everyone can be the perfect stylist (including us) we had the fashion experts at Max step into The Beautiful Lifestyle to offer tips on how to highlight your curves simply by choosing the right clothing with the right cuts.

Your Plus-size Style Guide

Start a casual look with a straight-leg pair that lengthens your bottom half. A peplum top is flattering on curvy frames, while an eye-catching print and puffed sleeves draw the eye upward and help balance your proportions.
A top that elongates the torso and defines your natural waist is one of our favorite ways to flatter your top half. Choose a floral printed top with bishop sleeves starting with a pair of jeans and you are good to go.
Finding the perfect pair of jeans is tough for any size, but high-waisted jeans look good on anyone. It definitely fits curvy figures, minimizes the waist, and hugs your curves.
No matter what your body shape is, there are a few silhouettes that are universally flattering. A midi wrap dress makes you look taller whilst emphasizing the waist to flatter your figure. The midi-length elongates your legs, especially when paired with pointed-toe pumps. Finish the look with statement earrings and a perfectly messy updo.
Anything accentuating that waist is an accessory you should always incorporate into your wardrobe. Belts and ties in dresses, pants, or skirts are all flattering choices to polish your silhouette by structuring your top half.
One of the common mistakes every curvy woman makes is to hide their figures with loose clothing. Wear clothes that fit exactly so that your curves will show. It also helps to have a tailor that knows your exact sizes so that your clothes will fit perfectly.
