Being thin is becoming less and less popular. The current trend is supported by bloggers with non-standard figures. Increasingly, fashion designers are being inspired to create collections. The tendency to express individuality allows women to enjoy life, be in harmony with themselves and not chase a photoshopped ideal.

Curvy women

One of these wonderful, inspiring and organic personalities is the American model Katie Sturino - a resourceful impersonator, a charming and brave chubby woman, and also a businesswoman!

In 2015 she started her own fashion blog on Instagram when I realized that women with curvaceous there is nowhere to get style inspiration. “It suddenly dawned on me that there are many plump young women, but there are few examples of how to dress beautifully and fashionably.”, - recalls Katie.

The proud owner of a size 54, Sturino learned to accept and love her body, which helped her gain self-confidence and happiness. In her blog, she clearly demonstrates that the life of a girl with appetizing shapes doesn't have to be sad, boring and hopeless.

The girl dresses according to the latest fashion trends and lives life to the fullest. Recently she became seriously interested in copying screen and show business stars. Katie deliberately chose thin women as her role models. By making fun of the fashion world in this way, she proved that fashionable and stylish things can fit perfectly on a plus-size lady.

The idea was accepted by the public with a bang. Without much effort, Katie has amassed nearly 150,000 loyal followers. And this figure is growing. The beauty approaches her creativity so responsibly that she even selects partners for photos. Accessories, poses and facial expressions are as identical as possible to the prototypes.

Katie posted photo collages with Hailey Baldwin, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence and Amal Clooney. The hit of her parodies were the famous newlyweds - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. “Megan is a natural choice to follow. The world watches her every appearance! She has a simple and clear style that is pleasant to interpret for women of any size.", - Sturino commented on the pictures.

Katie stated in one of her posts: “It’s not about who wears the best outfit. The point is that anyone can wear anything! Start with self-confidence!”

“People should accept their body as it is, and not depend on stereotypes and exhaust themselves with diets to please others.”, says Katie. However, she notes that society is not yet ready for such changes and there is a lot of work to be done. Unfortunately, they are even often considered unattractive.

A healthy attitude towards her own body helped the girl not pay attention to online bullying on the Internet. They called her “fat” and “whale”, bombarded her with phrases “Cover up!”, “Lose weight!”, “It’s impossible to look at this!” Katie challenged her detractors by posting a photo of herself proudly posing in a bikini.

Sturino seeks to debunk the conventional wisdom that clothing size has a direct bearing on physical health. Katie plans to continue to inspire women to talk and think well about their appearance and value yourself the way nature created them.

Having become a fad of the 1990s, the image of the thinnest female model is a thing of the past; now rounded shapes are in fashion.

Today, attitudes towards the female body are contradictory, as is female logic. On the one hand, we idolize sculpted bellies and pumped up butts and, in the hope of achieving the same result, we carry countless containers with proper food and buy fitness memberships that we don’t use. On the other hand... The term “plus-size” has become firmly entrenched in our lives. Brands are creating new collections specifically for curvy ladies and conducting advertising campaigns aimed at them. And the big ladies working in modeling business, are becoming increasingly popular.

Why did this happen and what events from the world of glossy magazines tell us that that’s it: there’s no turning back? See for yourself.

In 2014, the hashtag #fatkini won the love of plus-size users social networks. Women from all over the world published their pictures under this hashtag, completely unconcerned that their bodies did not meet generally accepted beauty standards.

If your parameters are far from model standards, then you have probably often been faced with the question: how to choose clothes wisely in order to look attractive and stylish. Therefore, the basic rules for creating a “non-standard” wardrobe are undoubtedly already familiar and learned. True, it must be said that all these so-called “rules” are very relative: any figure, both plump and thin, has its own characteristics. And even among figures that are not distinguished by their slenderness, one can note different types of structure. Accordingly, the rules for choosing clothes will be purely individual. So don't blindly follow everyone fashion tips. Use only those that will help you at least partially hide your flaws and fully emphasize your advantages.
The tips below will not work for everyone. But perhaps they will help someone decide which of today’s fashion trends can be advantageous for girls with curvy figures.

Maxi dresses and skirts

Floor-length dresses and skirts are still at the peak of popularity. And if you still don’t have things of this style in your wardrobe, then you should think about purchasing them. Long dress or a skirt slims the figure, visually stretches and lengthens the silhouette.

However, when choosing a maxi, there are some points to consider. Firstly, avoid finely pleated fabrics - they plump even the slenderest figure.

Secondly, refrain from dresses with frills and ruffles, which can also optically increase your volume.

Catchy, rich colors
The trend today is color blocking - a combination of several catchy colors in one ensemble. For girls with curvy figures, such images are not entirely suitable, since combining bright colors in one outfit visually splits the figure, makes it wider and focuses attention on problem areas. But this does not mean that you should completely abandon bright, saturated colors and dress in gray, dull tones. A good solution could be an image decorated in one bright color, since plain outfits visually lengthen the figure. An excellent option would be a bright dress of the appropriate style and length. By the way, for full figures, the most advantageous length is knee length.

Flared skirt
If you have a thin waist and wide hips, then a flared or pencil skirt with a peplum at the waist would be ideal for you. Don’t be afraid to choose weightless, flowing materials for such a skirt, for example, chiffon. They will give your appearance airiness and lightness, and will also visually reduce the volume of your hips and make your figure more proportional. You can pair your skirt with a beautiful strap that will highlight your slender waist and complete your look.
. ......

Drapery
Various draperies will add special charm and uniqueness to your look. With their help, even the most ordinary dress can be turned into a stylish designer outfit. Moreover, this great way hide figure imperfections. Draping at the waist will hide your excess folds or protruding tummy, and in the hip area it will hide excessive volume.
. ......

Prints
The most popular color of the season is the floral print. But plump girls should avoid blouses and tops of this color. But a dress with a floral print, perfectly tailored to your figure, will greatly refresh and decorate your appearance. Again, the length of the dress can be floor or knee length and suit your style. You should not choose colors that are too small; it is much better if they are medium or large-sized drawings. Colors with vertical and diagonal stripes will also make you slim.
. ...

Neckline
Maybe someone like this minor detail, like the neckline may seem like a small thing, but it’s the little things that make up the image. And even something as seemingly inconspicuous as the shape of a collar can make you look slimmer. Blouses and dresses with a V-neck and a wraparound chest optically lengthen the neck and elongate the contours of the entire figure. In addition, they attract attention to beautiful breasts.
. ....

Accessories
Owners of curvaceous figures should carefully select jewelry; it must be combined with your outfit in style and color. An incorrectly chosen accessory can “kill” even the most nice outfit. In order not to weigh down your figure, it is better to purchase jewelry and costume jewelry of medium size. A thin chain will make your neck graceful, and long beads will visually lengthen it. Long dangling earrings will also lengthen your neck. Hoop earrings are also a great option, just make sure they are not too big or chunky. Wide bracelets visually widen your wrists, but several thin bracelets that match each other in style will greatly decorate your hands. You should not buy rings with huge stones, for full fingers Medium-sized matte stones are more suitable. Bags curvy girls should not be prohibitively large and voluminous. An abundance of patch pockets and accessories, and a combination of several prints in one item are contraindicated. A good option is a maxi clutch.
