Mix, Match, Slay: 4 Styling Secrets!

Hey, fashion lovers! 🥰 Let’s dive into a fun style chat today about something we all deal with: solids vs. patterns and how to mix and match them without feeling overwhelmed, especially if you’re rocking those gorgeous curves. Whether you're a fan of bold prints or you like to keep it simple with solids, here's how plus-size women can make both work (and look fabulous doing it).💃

 

1. Solids: Your Wardrobe's Best Friend

Solid colors are like the reliable best friend of your closet. They're easy to style, super versatile, and perfect when you want a clean, polished look that flatters your curves. The great thing about solids is that they can be dressed up or down effortlessly. Think of a solid rib-knit top, a crisp white shirt, or a sleek black dress – classic, right? 🙌 

Styling Tip: Pair a solid rib-knit top with jeans or trousers, and don’t shy away from layering. A bright blazer or a contrasting accessory can instantly elevate the look. If you’re feeling adventurous, go for a monochrome outfit for a chic, elongated silhouette.

 

2. Mixing Solids and Patterns: The Perfect Balance

Now, the real fun starts when you mix solids with patterns. It’s the best of both worlds! This combo keeps your outfit interesting and stylish without looking too busy.💫

Styling Tip: The key to mastering this is balance. Pair a bold patterned shirt with a solid bottom or vice versa. For example, an abstract shirt can look stunning with solid-colored trousers or jeans, accentuating your best features. If your pattern is subtle, like a pinstripe or small polka dot, you can be a bit bolder with your solid – think bright or jewel tones that compliment your curves

 

3. Pattern-on-Pattern: Yes, You Can!

If you're ready to take it up a notch, mixing patterns with patterns is totally doable and super stylish, even for plus-size outfits. The trick? Make sure the patterns have something in common, like color or scale. 

Styling Tip: Pair a large pattern with a smaller, subtler one, like a bold floral with tiny stripes for a balanced and cohesive look. Keep one element dominant to avoid visual chaos. And hey, if you’re feeling unsure, a belt or neutral accessory can help tie the look together, enhancing your overall body shape.

 

4. Accessorize Smartly

Sometimes, it’s all about the extras. If your outfit is solid, add a patterned bag, shoes, or a statement necklace to break the monotony. If your outfit is already busy with patterns, keep accessories minimal or stick with solids to maintain a harmonious look.

Note to yourself:

Mixing solids and patterns is all about experimenting and having fun with your plus-size wardrobe. Remember, fashion is personal, and there are no strict rules—just guidelines to help you look and feel your best. So, go ahead, try something new, enhance those curves, and most importantly, wear it with confidence! 💃
