So the other day I decided to bust
out these printed Alfani pants I purchased from Macy's a while
ago. I wanted to keep it simple so I paired it with a tank, a belt and of
course my denim vest. I thought I'd share with you guys some other options as
well. As a plus girl I try to stay away from any "too loud" prints
that are just going to make me look huge. So here are my rules for wearing
prints:
1. Buy the
right size- going bigger
does not mean it's going to hide the areas you’re trying to cover up. It
actually makes you look bigger than you really are. I love anything that hugs
my curves!
2. Go for
flattering patterns- Stay away from prints with a lot of space in between them,
especially horizontal stripes. Big prints and vertical stripes are more
slimming. It’s important you pick a print that is proportionate to your shape.
3. Stay away
from print on print- I decided to wear a solid tank on top. I know the trend
right now is to wear matching prints on top and bottom or even 2 different
prints, but from a Visual Merchandiser’s point of view, I find it chaotic.
Don't get me wrong, some people can pull it off. I, unfortunately, am not one
of those people. Prints draw attention so make sure you place it on the body
part that you’re comfortable showing off.
4.
Confidence is key!!- Like I said before not everything is for everybody
so when you wear it... own it!
