To embrace and enhance every curve, 5 types of elegant curvy outfits with which to revolutionize your wardrobe (and your everyday life).
Elegant curvy outfit: you can never go wrong with a suit
For a day at work, an important meeting, a special commitment. The tailored suit confirms itself as an essential style ally, even when it comes to elegant curvy outfits. Wide cuts and soft silhouettes are to be preferred, including slightly oversized blazers, blouses withappeal feminine and high or medium waisted trousers. Gaucherefor example, plays with shades of black and grey, combining the suit with a thin turtleneck. GANNIon the other hand, reinvents the vest making it a tight-fitting top to wear under the jacket, all crowned by the pinstripe pattern.
A dress for all sizes
The simplest and most effective way to create a successful plus-size look? Choose the right dress, paying attention to the materials and the silhouette, which must support and enhance, hiding any defects. Yes then to dresses with a sweetheart neckline stopped under the breast, especially if animated by ton sur ton pleats, like the one imagined by Chloe. For the cold season, make room for knitted dresses, perhaps characterized by a particular detail, such as the one-shoulder shape of Michael Kors Collectionor characterized by an unexpected decoration, following Etro. Furthermore, do not forget the great power of beltto be placed in the point considered most strategic (and convenient) to break the figure.

The outerwear that makes the difference
If the first impression is really what counts, a good elegant curvy outfit cannot do without outerwear that is up to the task. While padded duvets and teddy jackets can weigh down the figure, the tailored coat, long down to the feet and with a sharp cut, is a passe-partout not to be underestimated. Whether double-breasted, slightly waisted or enriched with a belt, the long coat promises to enhance every body, between classic patterns and neutral shades.

Bustier strategic
The elegant curvy outfit does not give up a healthy dose of sensuality. To underline the décolleté, I add a slimming effect to the figure, in fact the corset with a straight neckline. Lily Gladstoneprotagonist of the film Killers of the Flower Moon, for example, chose one covered in sequins, coordinated with the long skirt and characterized by a very flattering ruffle. For his part Sarah Snookthe Shiv Roy of Succession, preferred it in total black with exposed boning, worn together with a tailored suit. Note in this case the final part of the bustier, slightly V-shaped, to further lengthen the figure.
