Spring is coming, and all the major clothing designers are getting ready to unveil their new lines. Plus size fashion is no exception, but every full-figured woman knows that dressing a curvy figure presents its own unique set of challenges. This is particularly true of the Spring season, when clothing designers often use lightweight or baggy materials that aren’t as flattering on full figures as they are on their slender counterparts.

Spring 2013 fashion is all about the easy breeze vacation look. From vibrant ocean blues to bold yet feminine floral prints, color is key this season. Plus size designers have taken this cue from Parisian runways and shoppers can expect to see bold printed dresses, skirts and flowers in stores. Fortunately, wrap dresses are very in this season. A lovely wrap dress is a staple for any plus size Spring wardrobe because the cut creates a figure-flattering silhouette that emphasizes feminine curves. Throw on a simple wrap dress with a light floral print or stripes with a pair of sunglasses and a light sweater for a look that’s effortlessly chic.

Another major trend in full-figured fashion is the reemergence of the turtleneck. From lightweight sweaters to elegant maxi dresses, the turtleneck is in for the Spring season. Pair a pastel turtleneck with white Capri pants for a retro take on this new trend, or dress the look up for dinner with a sleek maxi dress and a statement belt. Silhouette is the focus of the season, which has really given plus size designers the chance to create pieces that accentuate womanly figures.

If you want to try one of Spring’s bolder trends, look no further than big, bold stripes. Skinny stripes are out, but

substantial stripes an inch wide or more are in. This trend is great for fuller figures because thin stripes can tend to be overwhelming. Bolder, broader stripes lend a good sense of balance to any outfit and are simultaneously sophisticated and casual. Designers often pair big stripes with a nautical theme, so expect to see a lot of fitted shirts and jackets with sailor-inspired blue-and-white or red-and-white stripes.

There are some colors that look good on everyone and others colors that may be bad ideas. You want to choose colors that you feel comfortable wearing and that will highlight your best features.

How you wear your color is as important as the color itself. You want to make sure that you buy clothing that fits you properly.
