Common Fashion Mistakes Plus-Size Mature Women Make (Over 50)] & How to Fix Them!
Hey everyone, welcome back to Wraparound Plus! If you’re new here, I’m Angela, and today, we’re talking about something super important—common fashion mistakes that plus-size women over 50 often make, and more importantly, how to fix them! So, if you’re looking to level up your style, feel comfortable, and look amazing no matter your size or age!
1. Wearing Baggy or Oversized Clothing
One of the most common mistakes is hiding behind oversized or baggy clothing. It can feel tempting to go for the loose fit, thinking it will hide areas you're not comfortable with."
But in reality, baggy clothes can actually make you look larger and shapeless. Instead, opt for clothing that has structure—pieces that skim your body rather than drowning it. A well-fitted blazer or an A-line dress can highlight your curves in a flattering way.
Find structured, well-tailored pieces that enhance your shape!
2. Wearing Prints that Overwhelm
Another mistake? Going too bold with large prints or patterns. Big florals or geometric prints can overwhelm your frame and take away from your natural beauty.
Instead, choose prints that are scaled proportionally to your body size. Smaller or medium-sized prints, and vertical patterns can work wonders. And if prints aren’t your thing, a chic monochromatic look in a flattering color can be just as stylish!
Choose subtle prints or a monochromatic look to elongate your figure!
3. Ignoring Proper Undergarments
We often underestimate the power of good undergarments. Wearing the wrong bra or uncomfortable shapewear can not only cause discomfort but can also make your outfit look less flattering.
Invest in properly fitted bras and shapewear that provide support and smooth everything out without constricting you. It can completely transform how your clothes sit on your body and instantly boost your confidence!
Proper undergarments = Better fit, more comfort!
4. Wearing Clothes That Are Too Tight
On the flip side, wearing clothing that's too tight can also be a mistake. It’s all about balance—too tight, and it can highlight areas you'd rather not draw attention to, plus it’s just uncomfortable.
The key is finding that middle ground—clothes that fit but don’t cling. Wrap dresses, soft knits, and stretchy fabrics can give you the perfect balance between style and comfort.
Opt for fabrics with a bit of stretch to combine fit with comfort!
5. Ignoring the Power of Accessories
Sometimes, we forget how much accessories can elevate an outfit. But skipping accessories can leave your look feeling incomplete.
A bold necklace, a structured handbag, or even a scarf can make all the difference. Accessories help to express your personal style and can draw attention to your best features. Plus, they’re a great way to bring color and personality to your look.
Add accessories to elevate your outfit and express your personality!
6. Sticking to Only Dark Colors
We all know that black is slimming, and it’s often a go-to color, especially for plus-size women. But wearing only dark colors can make your wardrobe feel a bit dreary.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with color! Jewel tones like emerald, ruby, or sapphire are universally flattering and can add a refreshing vibrance to your look. Incorporate a pop of color, even if it's just in your accessories, to brighten up your outfit.
Experiment with jewel tones for a vibrant, flattering look!
7. Avoiding Trends Altogether
Many women over 50 feel like fashion trends aren’t for them. But that doesn’t mean you have to stick with old styles forever.
The key is to mix timeless pieces with modern elements. You don’t need to jump on every trend, but don’t be afraid to try out styles that make you feel fresh and current. A trendy jacket or new silhouette can add some fun to your wardrobe!
Incorporate modern elements to keep your look fresh!
8. Wearing the Wrong Shoes
Last but not least, shoes. The wrong shoes can break an outfit. Heels that are too high can be uncomfortable, and overly casual shoes can bring down a chic look.
Choose shoes that are comfortable yet stylish. Block heels, wedges, or chic flats can give you the height and support you need without compromising on comfort. And always consider the occasion when picking your footwear.
Comfortable yet stylish shoes complete the look!
And there you have it! By avoiding these common fashion mistakes, you can elevate your style and feel amazing at any age and any size. Remember, confidence is your best accessory, and when you feel good, you look good!
