Break the myths!

Large prints are possible!
Prints can be a great way to make a statement and enhance your figure. Whether floral, geometric or animal prints, each print has its own charm and can be worn beautifully, no matter the size.

Choosing the right print for your plus size body shape

When choosing a plus size print, it's important to think about your body shape and style. Here are some print ideas to consider based on your preferences:

Large floral prints

Floral patterns are ideal for a feminine and romantic look. Medium or large flowers are often more flattering for curvy figures, as they do not "scatter" on the garment.

Geometric prints to refine the silhouette

Vertical stripes are often recommended for larger sizes because they create an optical effect that elongates the silhouette. But do not neglect polka dots and geometric shapes. These are also modern and sophisticated prints that bring style.

Animal prints, perfect for curvy women

Animal prints, such as leopard or zebra, are perfect for a bold look. Choose them in small touches for a subtle effect or in an all-over version for a bold look. The important thing is to wear them with pride.

How to wear prints when dressing plus size?

If you're new to plus-size prints, a great tip is to pair them with solid pieces. For example, wear printed pants with a solid top or a printed jacket with jeans to balance out the outfit. This helps to highlight the print without overwhelming the look.

Tips for choosing prints according to your body shape in large sizes

Every silhouette is unique. For those who want to try it gently, there are tips for wearing large prints according to your body shape:

For women with generous hips

Opt for printed tops to draw attention to the upper part of your figure. A patterned blouse with plain pants is an ideal combination for this balance.

For those with a generous chest

Opt for printed bottoms, such as a patterned skirt or pants, to draw the eye downwards. This helps to harmonize the silhouette while wearing prints.

For curvy figures overall

The total printed look can be a bold option! Opt for small patterns to start.

Accessorize with prints for a balanced look

Accessories are a great way to enhance a plus-size printed outfit. If you're wearing a printed garment, opt for solid accessories to balance out the look. For example, shoes and a bag in a color that matches the print can create a harmonious and well-thought-out ensemble.

For a printed dress or skirt, a belt can also mark the waist and structure the silhouette.

Wear plus size prints with pride

The key to wearing plus size prints is to trust yourself. Prints are a way to express yourself and make a statement. Don't be afraid to experiment with different patterns and choose the ones you like. Start with small touches, then a shirt, then a dress...

Remember that fashion is a means of expression and dare to be yourself.
