Finding your evening outfit when you are a curvy woman
Do you have a few shapes and don’t know how to dress to go to a chic party? It’s not always easy to find an evening outfit when you have curves.
However, there are many outfits to highlight your curves in an elegant way. When you have a 0 figure (i.e. wide hips, rounded buttocks and full chest) specific cuts are particularly suitable.
Don’t forget, ladies, the goal is not to hide your curves but, on the contrary, to highlight them!
- If you opt for a dress: choose a wrap dress or an empire dress with a pretty neckline and preferably solid colors. Accessorize it with a fitted jacket. Always opt for light and flowing materials so as not to weigh down the silhouette.
- If you opt for a skirt: embrace your curves and dare to wear a pencil skirt, which is certainly chic and feminine! You can also turn to models of flared skirts
- If you opt for pants: they must be high-waisted and in solid colors (we forget the prints). Favour dark colours on the lower body. Pair it with a flowing top or blouse with a V-neckline
Jewellery
Jewelry dresses a woman and an outfit in seconds. You may have the most beautiful dress of the evening, but if you combine it with jewellery that doesn’t go with your dress, it’s a guaranteed fashion faux pas. What jewellery to choose for a chic evening outfit?
Focus on sobriety and elegance!
The shoes
A key piece of your look, shoes are very important and enhance your outfit in the blink of an eye. Although we recommend high heels for added elegance, you can also choose flat shoes if you feel more comfortable. What is important is above all to choose shoes that are clean and have a nice material such as leather, suede, etc. For example, a pretty pair of patent derbies will be just as elegant as a pair of patent heels.If you are short, still choose heels to lengthen your silhouette. It is not necessary to wear 10 cm heels but at least have a medium heel to appear taller.
The choice of handbag
No more large-format bags, tote bags, etc.
The bag is a key piece of evening wear and adorns it with refinement. What could be better than a pretty clutch adorned with sequins to highlight your beautiful black jumpsuit?
In conclusion :
- The perfect evening outfit doesn’t have to be a dress! It can also be suit pants or a jumpsuit, think about it!
- If you opt for a dress, you can choose a timeless little black dress or opt for very modern trends like the wrap dress or the skater dress. Choose satin materials or lace or velvet to be at the top of the glamour attitude.
- If you have curves, choose wrap dresses and wrap dresses because they will highlight your figure.
- Finally, be sure to choose the right accessories: beautiful quality jewellery but very little jewellery, a beautiful garnished clutch and a pair of shiny shoes.
