Fashion Do's of Plus Size Crop Pants
DO feel free to show a little skin this Spring with
crop pants. Crop pants work on every plus size body type, as
long as you wear them correctly. So, grab a pair of khaki or
print capris and welcome Spring with a stylish wave! We recommend
Jessica London for this item.
DO choose crop pants that fit your height. One major
mistake with full figured crop pants is choosing pants that are
too short or too long. These bottoms usually fit right below the
knee. If they are any shorter or any longer, they are not
exactly crop pants. So, seek out a pair that falls right below
your knee. If you’re 5’3 or shorter you may want to visit the
women’s petite department to ensure the length is right-on. We recommend
Roamans for this item.
DO seek out crop pants that are slimming. The key to
wearing clothes in the most flattering way is to choose clothing
that skims your body. This does not mean choose tight or
form-fitting outfits. Instead all clothes should skim your
outline, enhancing your favorite body areas, without clinging.
To accomplish this goal, find plus size crop pants that are made
in stretch material. We’re not talking spandex here, but
material with a little “give”. You’ll find pants made in with
“stretch” not only look great but are also extremely comfortable
to wear! We recommend
Silhouettes for this item.
DO be brave and dress up crop pants for evening events,
if you’d like. Crop pants in black can often be paired with sexy
heels and a lovely blouse. The pairing of the right accessories
instantly turns casual pants into womens evening apparel. Lean
toward elastic waist Capri or crop pants, if you’re going
strictly for comfort. If you’re planning on keeping them casual,
elastic is the way to go. For formal, you must use button-styled
Capris. We recommend
Coldwater Creek for this item.
DO check out the new cargo styled crop pants, if you want
a trendy, hip look this season. Cargo pants are back in a huge
way and cargo crop pants have hit the scene! Cargo styled pants
often have many pockets, drawing attention away from any
bottom-half problem areas in your body’s shape. We recommend
Ulla Popken for this item.
Fashion Don'ts of Plus Size Capris
DON'T go for the drawstring Capri pants, unless you want
to emphasize your waist area. If you’re trying to conceal an
un-toned, rounder tummy or mid-section area, steer clear of the
drawstring waist crop pants. The drawstring will only draw
unwanted attention to your middle, adding pounds to your
appearance.
DON’T be afraid to wear crop pants into the Summer
months. Choose a cotton knit material that will breathe well in
warm weather, preferable in a light color. When you choose light
colored crop pants, they instantly become appropriate for warmer
weather. Add a nice tank or short sleeve shirt and you’ll be
ready for the sun! A perfect alternative to shorts.
DON'T be overly daring with printed crop pants. Sure, you
can successfully wear prints on the bottom, but be careful how
you approach the look. First, if you are wearing print on the
bottom you MUST keep the top solid. In addition, don’t over
accessorize when wearing prints or your look may get
overwhelming. Prints are fun, but only in small amounts.
Ultimately, it’s all about balance!
