Colors
and Fabrics
Plus size clothing comes from the same fabrics and follows the same
color trends as clothes for women of smaller sizes. Here are
some of the trends we can look for in the summer of 2006:
- Seasonal
Color Trends – Pale, natural, neutral colors are
the trend for women this summer. Whites, creams, beiges and apricots
are popular.
- Summer
Fabric Choices – Classic fabrics are back
again! Light and lacy along with basic cotton stretch materials are
what women can expect. Flowing chiffon and silks can be seen in
abundance, as well. Designs with spandex offer both comfort and
versatility to plus size women. There are great fabric choices this
summer for both work and play.
- Pattern
Trends – It’s all good! You can choose
from garden prints and solids, geometrical shapes and ethnic designs.
Stripe patterns are in style, but make sure they flatter your shape
instead of fattening it. Showing support for out troops has never been
trendier, as camouflage prints are great for a casual look.
Now that we know what kinds of colors and fabrics to expect,
let’s move on to the plus size clothing fashions we can look
forward to.
Clothing
Trends
With classics making a comeback in the Summer of 2006, some items which
will be hits could already be found in your wardrobes! If you
don’t have these looks, making the investment in this plus
size clothing will be well worth it and can be worn for several years.
- Pant
Trends – Relaxed trousers can be found in many
styles. Jeans with deep cuffs are “in” for those
casual get-togethers.
- Top
Trends – Mannish looks were on the catwalks this
season. Crisp, white shirts can be worn with a wide variety of outfits.
For everyday, look for an abundant selection of plus size tanks and
halters.
- Dress
Trends – Baby-dolls and shift dresses are making
a comeback! In fabulous shades and fabrics, these plus size clothing
pieces can flatter your curves and show everyone how sexy you can be.
- Shoe
Trends – Sandals and wedge shoes are the style
for the Summer of 2006. When purchased in a neutral color, they can go
with almost any outfit for any occasion.
- Lingerie
Trends – Look for sexy, see-through fabrics with
flattering cuts and styles.
Keep in mind that you should avoid those styles which hang on your
frame and don’t accentuate the curves you have.
Don’t find one shirt and buy it in 6 different colors! Vary
your colors, fabrics and styles for a great mix and match plus size
clothing wardrobe!
