With many new lines appearing in the shops this month, it is easy to find a new fashion trend to flatter the figure in size 16 clothes this month. And with spring on the way it is time to become bolder with colours.

The new trendy look from Dorothy Perkins is very stylish and ‘now’. Gossip Girl is an uptown look inspired by New York glamour. The collection takes simple dress and tunic designs and embellishes them with bows, dots, and buttons.

The Mint Button Basque Dress accentuates curves for a really up-to-the-minute look. This striking dress in mint green has a fitted top with short sleeves, a high and wide waist band decorated with six back buttons, and short skirt which is gathered from the waist and finishes above the knees. The neck line is scooped at the front with a v shape at the back. Finish the look with black tights and black high heeled ankle boots. This dress is also available in black.

Another trendy look is the Green Mosaic Border Dress in black with green and white geometric floral print. This dress is similar in design to the Basque Dress with a scooped neck and wide patent belt.

The Black and White Floral Tiered Top is very trendy and flattering for a curvier figure in size 16 clothes. With see through fabric over a black lining, the top has a scooped neck, loose short sleeves, and a wide waistband from where the tiered hem begins to take shape.

To get the ‘Gossip Girl’ look, accessorise clothes with wide belts, embellished scarves and hair pieces, and quilted or studied handbags, all available from Dorothy Perkins.

For a really trendy look from New Look, go for rock chic glamour, still very much in style. The Idol Military Jacket is a great piece to start with. It has ornate swirling rope embellishment, and rope knot fastenings. This jacket is very flattering and will accentuate curves.

The Idol Skinny Jeans would be perfect with this jacket with embroidered star detail down the sides.

Complete this trendy look with the Idol Slogan Top in pink with a scooped neck and large slogan detail.

For slightly older trend setters, the Spring Collection from Boden is very striking in bright prints and stripes. This style is very flattering for girls looking for size 16 clothes.

The Multi Stripe Uptown Coat is very eye catching with vertical stripes of blue, red, yellow, and green. The coat is shower proof with a collar and large button details. To get the look, match with jeans and a top such as the Dark Navy Shimmering Top. This top is very stylish with short sleeves, a scooped neck which is ruched and with sequin detailing.

Girl’s size 16 clothes

What with the increasing dilemma of younger girls dressing too old for their age, it gets more and more difficult to find nice clothes for younger girls at the right price and also that are appropriate for their age.

Add into that the difficulty of trying to find nice size 16 clothes as well, and you will find yourself in a very tricky situation.

One great retailer that provides cheap size 16 clothes that are suitable for younger girls is New Look (site: newlook.co.uk).

What’s great about the New Look store is that their clothes are designed with youth in mind – making sure they appeal to and are suitable for younger women.

This is a pack of 2 t-shirts (one with a logo design and one plain).

At £16 these are pretty much a steal.

They are funky and modern, and are great for casual wear, especially worn over jeans.

The printed logo is fun and young, and appeals to the rock chick in every girl.

New Look have some great t-shirts with characters and cartoons printed on them.

They are always bringing out new ones too, so it’s worth keeping an eye on their t-shirt section as you will find some very interesting pieces!

Another great item from New Look is this 2 in 1 lace sequin dress.

Young, fun and flirty, this is the perfect dress choice for a young woman.

This can be worn with bright coloured/patterned tights to brighten up the look or sheer or black to keep it low key.

The sequins add some sparkle into the dress which adds to its flirty and care-free style.

The dress is available in a size 16, but is quickly selling out in size 18, so I recommend grabbing one quick.

This dress has been priced at £30.

The lace gives the dress a more interesting feel, and spices it up from just your average LBD.

This dress can be worn over and over again with different bright coloured accessories to change the style of the outfit.

Another great retailer for young size 16 clothes is Dorothy Perkins (site: dorothyperkins.com).

They have added a great new feature to their site, advising readers on how to get the Gossip Girl manhattan look.

This is perfect for girls who want to dress stylishly and smartly with a touch of New York glamour.

Their prices won’t put a hole in your pocket either!
