How to Dress Well when You're Overweight

The colors cut and patterns, you wear can draw people's eyes toward or away from your figure. Here are some basics:
Dark colors hide, while light colors highlight. So if you like your waist, wear a light belt over a dark shirt. If you want to hide your bottom half, wear dark pants and a lighter top.
Browns, navy, olive green, and purple, are good color choices for fuller figures. If you want to wear bright colors, then try to use monochromatic colors (colors of the same family of varying tints and shades, such as all blues, greens, or browns).
Big patterns will make you look bigger while small patterns can make you look smaller.
Avoid horizontal stripes. Stripes are okay on plus size clothing if they are diagonal or vertical. If you want to look larger in the bust area, horizontal stripes will enhance the bustline.
Wear ruched or gathered fabric on areas you want to make look smaller. Something which has multiple folding over your belly definitely makes it smaller.
Wear well-fitting undergarments. It's true that your underclothes are the foundation of your look - it's hard to look good when you're wearing flimsy underwear that doesn't support you sufficiently.
Select clothes basing on your body shape (an apple shape or pear shape), Try to stylize the part which you have more i.e, the area of your body, that isn't proportional to the rest of your body is the area that you will want to address with corrective clothing.

Wear the Right Shoes. Shoes can add balance to your body and make you look slimmer. Try a chunky heel or high heel when you dress up to look thinner. Avoid ankle straps, Mary Jane straps, and square-toe shoes, all of which can make your feet look squatty and your legs shorter. Thin strapped sandals (particularly if your foot is chubby or wide) and tiny or thin kitten heels should also be avoided.
