Fashion is hard enough to follow, without having to also cater for your shape. With so many different varieties of clothing on sale, for the petite, the tall, the curvy, the pear shaped, (the list goes on), it is difficult to find items suitable for your specific figure.
My top three shops for plus size teens are as follows:
1. New Look. Not only does New Look have a variety of clothing for plus size teens, it is also incredibly well priced too.The trick is to flatter all your right curves, accentuating the right features without swamping yourself in fabric. New Look’s plus size range, Inspire, incorporates the latest styles and trends for plus size teens, with sizes reaching up to 26.
One of my favourites from the Inspire range is this 2 in 1 Halter Dress (£25).
Its two tone colour, with the light, grey top half, draws focus to the bust area, whilst minimising large curves with black, free-flowing fabric.
The nipped in waist accentuates womanly curves, balancing the width of your hips with your bust.
The halterneck style and pretty detailing around the chest ensures that even if you have a small bust, this dress will accentuate and lift your bust.
2. Another shop great for plus size teens is Dorothy Perkins. They currently have a final reductions sale, where you can pick up a really good bargain.
This purple Bubble Hem Skirt (£25), is perfect for parties/clubbing.
The short length gives a flirty feel, but the bubble hem minimises the width of your hips and also makes your thighs appear thinner.
Purple is hot this season, and will carry on strong next season, so this piece can be worn bare legged this summer, and with black tights once it starts getting colder.
Wear with a plain white or any bold coloured vest tucked in, add heels and you are good to go!
3. Although not an obvious choice for plus size teens, Marks and Spencers has a lot of hidden gems.
This Per Una Empire Check Line Blouse (£29.50), is perfect for looking smart at any occassion.
Its elbow length sleeves hide the upper part of your arms, which most women believe is one of the most conscious body parts.
Its slight transparency gives it a sexy feel, and ensures its cool enough to wear even in the summer.
The light pattern breaks up the solid colour, creating a softer appearance, and the tie just under the chest accentuates waists.
Next also has some cute things. The 20 is cut pretty generously and on their site they go up to a 26.
Yeah Next are pretty good, the only thing is i’ve noticed any clothes i’ve bought there haven’t lasted long…after several washes the material seems to go a bit funny.
