Do a Slimming Style
DO stay warm this fall or winter season with a beautiful plus
size cardigan. But, when choosing the perfect cardigan be sure
you look for a sweater which will not only keep you warm but
also slim your overall appearance. Make your fuller figure
apparel work for you!
We recommend
Romans for this item.
Do a Lightweight Cardigan
DO think about stocking up on a few light weight womens
spring cotton, cashmere or knit tops and sweaters this year when
doing your clothing shopping. Wool is great for the colder
months, but during the cool days of spring you’ll need something
a bit lighter. Be sure to find cardigans which skim your body,
without being too tight or too large. If you get sweaters too
large they will only make you seem ten pounds heavier!We recommend
One Stop Plus for this item.
Do Go for Color
DO bring a little color to your wintry days by forgoing all
black cardigans and wearing a sweater in a bright and bold color
(try printed or patterned for a bolder look). A zip front,
button down or pull over cardigan in a bright color might be
just what you need to bring a little sunshine to your winter
mood. We recommend
Avenue for this item.
Do a Flattering Print
DO watch out for unflattering patterns in sweaters. If
opting for a pattern be sure not to choose a sweater with
horizontal stripes, as it will only visually add poundage to
your body. In contrast, vertical stripes can often lengthen your
overall body visual and make you look taller and slimmer. In
addition, steer clear of small detailed prints on a sweater, as
it won’t be flattering either. A larger more pronounced print
will work better for all plus size body types.We recommend
Catherines for this item.
Do the V Neckline
DO choose a v neck sweater or a cardigan with a shawl collar
if you want to draw attention to your face or elongate your
body’s overall visual line. V neck collars are excellent ways to
make you appear taller and leaner than you actually are. Stay
away from plus size cardigans with round collars as they only
make your face and neck area look rounder. We recommend
Silhouettes for this item.
Do Some Embellishment
DO boost a smaller chest with a ruffled front sweater or
cardigan. The ruffles on a crop or shrug, cardigan or sweater
will help your chest look larger and if you have a small chest,
this may be your exact goal!We recommend
Avenue for this item.
Do a Zipper Front
DO opt for a button down sweater or a zippered sweater if
you want to control how much bust you show in your outfit. It
can be difficult for plus size women to control the amount of
cleavage they show but with these sweaters you can be in total
control of the image you put out into the world. We recommend
Woman Within for this item.
DON'T forget to buy cardigans in various sleeve
lengths, to work with any weather or event. Short sleeve
cardigans are ideal for spring and fall, while ¾ sleeve and long
sweaters can work throughout the cooler seasons. They are so
versatile they can be work at home, during casual events, at
work or even at more formal events. For formal events, look for
sweaters with thin metallic thread running through their fabric.
The metallic look might be subtle but it will dress the item up
enough for it to be appropriate anywhere.
DON’T go for cable knit cardigans if you’re plus sized. The
large knitting cable sweaters contain will add pounds to your
visual appearance. Look for lighter sweaters with finer knitting
throughout.
