Want to look great and elegant for a formal occasion? Well,
you already know that your curves are absolute love, but if you pick out the
right clothing style and effective garments for your figure, you’re bound to
look like a star. Of course, regardless of what your body shape is, you should
always follow your own fashion sense. In the end, there’s no point of dressing
up if you’re not going to feel good and comfortable in the outfit you’re
wearing. Looking confident in your attire is the first step to well-chosen
formal wear.
Go classic
If you personally don’t fancy skirts and dresses a lot and
these are simply not your style, you can still pull off the formal look and
accentuate your curves best with classic pants and a flattering shirt. Skinny
pants are not very formal so make sure to go with straight-cut, high-waisted
pants. Pair these with a loose shirt of light material and a blazer, and you’ll look absolutely gorgeous.
You can personalize things a little bit if you add a brooch to the blazer, or
go with intricate print in your shirt.
Retro skirts

Retro pencil skirts are all the rage right now. They follow
the lines of the body perfectly and since they are also high-waisted, they
offer good support in this area. When choosing your perfect retro skirt, make
sure to go with one that ends in the middle of your calves or just below the
knees. Shorter skirts won’t really fit into a formal category while really long
skirts in this particular style can unflatteringly shorten your figure. Once
you pick your perfect skirt, you can style it some trendy patterned stockings.
Pick the right dress
With so many options to choose from on the market, finding
that one perfect dress can get a bit overwhelming. At the same time, plus size fashion
dresses are available in so many different cuts and styles nowadays,
which will allow you to try different ones stress-free. If you’re unsure where
to start, check out wrap dresses with V-necks because these look gorgeous on a
curvier figure. On the other hand, if you really want to accentuate your
curves, try bodycon dresses. Of course, since you need a dress for a formal
occasion, pay attention that there’s not much cleavage showing.
How to wear a blazer

Most formal outfits involve some kind of blazer or cardigan
for good layering. So, if you want to rock this look, make sure to never button
your blazers or fitted jackets. If these are tight, buttoning them up would
only make you feel uncomfortable, which will translate to your whole posture,
it’ll minimize the effect that a loose shirt underneath can give you as well as
lose on formality a bit. Still, if you want to get that fitted look without
looking too casual, go for blazers with only one button. Make sure to keep
these open, and use a silk scarf to create balance if you find
it necessary.
Careful with shoes
There’s no better way to lift up your whole figure and make
things more elegant than by rocking some nice heels. Still, curvy ladies should
stay away from really delicate designs with extremely thin heels and straps
because these can disturb the overall balance of the outfit and general
appearance. And honestly, these are not very formal either. Instead, opt for
stiletto shoes or shoes that have a bit fuller straps and sturdier heels.

In the end, wearing all black and white creates an
impression of formal attire. If you like these colors, that’s great, but it’s
important to mention that other colors such as deeper shades of red, blue and
green also look very elegant and flatter a curvier figure perfectly.
