Long gone is the fad of a size-zero body, there are now a plethora of options for women with a fuller figure. It’s all about boosting confidence and having a style of your own. Herein, we enlisted the top five dress types that highly compliment plus-sized women.

A-line Skirts
Nothing complements a plus-sized woman more than an A-Line skirt. This is one of the simple designs for skirts and is always a winner. There are mixed opinions about this, but if you find the right top and your skirt is of the right length, you can pull it off just fine. Choose skirts that are right below the knee and not too long. All you have to do is style it for the occasion, a crisp tucked shirt for a formal occasion, a blouse for a party or just a tee for a girl night out – the color and fabric can help you find one that matches the occasion. Also, choose accessories that match the occasion. A-Line skirts give you a balanced and proportional appearance.

Jeans
If you do not have the perfect size of jeans, find one now. Find out how much elastic is there in the jeans fabric so that you find a comfortable pair. If you want to wear skinny jeans, choose one that has a higher rise. Wear wedgie jeans and pair them with sneakers for a casual look or with pointed heels for a day out. Wear high wasted jeans so that you can cinch your waist. High waist jeans can help you tone down the waist, hip and butt area. If you have a smaller waist, go in for the jeans with a tapered waist.

Blouse
Fashion trends may change, but one thing that remains a constant is the blouse. Be it with jeans, casual trousers, or a skirt, the blouse can help you carry off your curves with élan. Go in for classic sleeveless blouses with simple cuts that you can pair with jeans, skirts, or trousers. Go in for tunics and blouses in neutral tones. You should add a couple of bright-colored tops to your wardrobe when it is party time or a date night. But avoid blouse with cold shoulders.

Outerwear
Outwear can complement all plus-sized body types: pear-shaped, tall, and short. Look for coats with a deeper V-shaped neckline or coats that you can zip it up. Go in for a wrap-around coat rather than a belted coat. A-line coats, blazers can all highlight your features. Just do not wear it too long. If you are short, wear coats that are just right below your knee. Taller women can wear long coats. Avoid coats with breast pockets, belted waists, or a high neck.

Dresses
Many brands and designers create styles with top dress types that are just perfect for the plus-sized woman. For a day out or a day at work or special events, a dress is a must-have. Just make sure they match with your body shape and choose a fabric that will bring out the best in you. Style with the right shoes and accessories and you are all set to rule.

These dress types are the top choices for plus-sized women to have in their wardrobe.
