It can be difficult
to find the right clothing that represents who you are. It can also be
difficult to find what suits your body type, but it can often be more difficult
to find the confidence to wear what you want to wear, without thinking about
the judgement of others. Here are some tips on how to find what works for you
and to feel confident wearing it.
Get Dressed for Yourself Not Others
Following trends
can be tempting, but if it’s not something you like wearing, or feel confident
wearing then there is no point. Fashion is an expression of who you are and if
you don’t feel like you are embracing your true essence in an outfit then it’s
got to go! When you get dressed in the morning, ask yourself: am I getting
dressed for me? If the answer is no, then change. Getting dressed for yourself
can not only be empowering but it can also be fun.
Remember a Time You Wore Something and Felt
Great
Think back to a
time, and an outfit, when you felt amazing. Analyse why it made you feel that
way, think about its fit, silhouette, comfort and feel. You can then use those guidelines to
choose other items of clothing that make you feel good too. For example, if you
love the way a certain pair of jeans fit, figure out what makes you love them
so much and then you can search for that same silhouette and fit in other types
of clothing such as trousers. Again, it comes down to dressing in clothes that
make you feel great rather than everyone else, never wear something because you
think you should. Wear it because it makes you feel confident and happy.
Don’t Be Ashamed to
Be Seen
There was a time
fashion for plus size women was dire, but thankfully, the fashion industry has
become more inclusive over time (although it still has a long way to go). This
means there is more choice, giving you the ability to explore your style and
find what works for you. If you feel confident in flower prints, or a fully sequined
outfit, wear it! Don’t hide behind dark colours if they’re not for you, be
proud of your body and express this in your wardrobe. A good place to start
exploring is with Froxx
plus size designers, they
source the newest and most flattering trends in fashion, giving you a wide
choice of styles from colourful tunics to eye-catching accessories.
What You Wear
Actually Has an Impact on Your Thinking
Science says that
the clothes you wear affect your attitude, behaviour, personality, confidence
and the way you interact with others. This is called ‘Enclothed Cognition’ and describes the effect your clothes have on various
psychological processes through the symbolic meaning of the clothing and the
physical experience of wearing them. It is a scientific fact that the clothes
you wear have an impact on your mentality so dressing well can actually make
you feel more powerful!
