8 Tips for How to Dress When You’ve Gained Weight

November 30, 2022 Lots of Luxe How To, Proper Fit, Style Tips

Let’s face it: most of us have experienced weight gain to some degree at one time or another. Whether it’s because we ate too much while stressed or bored during the pandemic or for another reason, we suddenly find our pants are not fitting like they used to. (How were we to know after two years of wearing nothing but leggings and yoga pants?)

But it’s not just food that can result in weight gain. Certain medications can cause extra pounds to accumulate, as can hormonal fluctuations and insomnia. 

No matter how the added pounds got there, we must dress our bodies daily. Punishing ourselves by refusing to buy anything new and trying to squeeze into clothes that no longer fit is not the answer. Weight gain is not a personal failure.

Dressing your best, regardless of weight or size, is the solution. When we look good, we feel good.

We absolutely know how overwhelming and even emotional it can be when you’re trying to get dressed and nothing fits as it used to. Clothing is an extension of ourselves, a semaphore for how we see the world and how we want it to see us, and with a change in size, there’s often a shift in how we view ourselves.     

However, you have not changed. What’s needed is to create what we like to call a transition wardrobe.  Your clothes should make you feel and look good no matter your current size. The joy and confidence you’ll have will make getting back into shape or down to your best weight easier.

Here are some tips on how to dress after weight gain. And note we’re not advocating buying an entirely new wardrobe. There’ll be pieces in your closet that you can still wear and pieces that you don’t need to replace immediately.   

1. Start with what you have in your closet.

Be sure that the only clothes in your closet are for the current season. Now, try everything on. That’s right, everything. (Yes, it’s sad and triggering, so take your time.) You’ll want to take anything that does not fit out of the closet or put it in a separate section. Everything that fits should be easily accessible. This allows you to assess what you have and determine what’s missing. Maybe you have sweaters, blouses, and skirts that work but no jeans or trousers. Start a list of what you’ll need to round out a capsule of go-to pieces. I suspect a new pair of jeans and dark trousers (navy, brown or black) might be on your list. Remember, you’re creating and investing in a transition wardrobe.

Always keep in mind where you go and what you do on any given day of the week. Do you go to an office, to dinners and parties, and on dates? Do you normally run a lot of errands? If so, you’ll need to replace the kinds of clothes you feel you need for those activities. But again, you don’t have to break the bank. Go only with what will get you through the next few months. 

2. Wear the Correct Size. 

Not the size you want to be. Your actual size. Clothing that is too small will pucker in the most unflattering ways, reveal lots of lumps and bumps, and, quite frankly, make you look bigger. You want pieces that “skim” your body—more on the “fitted” side.  So, determine your new size and purchase the pieces you’ll need for the near future.  Remember, with a good tailor, you can alter most well-made pieces by at least 2 sizes. Keep this in mind when you do purchase those important transitional pieces. With alterations, you’ll be able to wear beyond your transition period, getting more bang for your buck.

3. Invest in Proper-Fitting Undergarments

Be sure to invest in shapewear. If you haven’t been building a shapewear collection, now is the time to begin. The right kind of shapewear can smooth and elongate your shape, and which one of us doesn’t need that?!

4. Do Dresses

Dresses, in general, will be your best friend during this transitional time. Avoid oversized styles because they will make you look heavier and frumpy. Go for something more fitted (yes fitted) that highlights you just under the bust. An empire waist works well to achieve this.

Do not be afraid to belt your blouses, lightweight sweaters, and dresses. Accent your waist! Therefore, a wrap dress can be your best friend too. Wrap dresses shrink and grow with you, and the wrap tie at the waist is slimming because it defines your waist.

An A-line skirt or dress looks great and can hide many sins. Remember, body skimming, not oversized.

5. Take Care with Tops

If your transition wardrobe is missing tops, keep these tips in mind:

a. Stay away from oversized blouses and choose those that are body-skimming instead. Oversized, as we said above, will make you look big.

     b. Look for detailing just under the bust or a faux wrap style.

c. Statement sleeves will draw attention to the sleeve.

d. Structured fabrics are more forgiving.

e. Consider the neckline. High necks are less elongating, while open necklines elongate, which is what you want to achieve.

f. Rounded hemlines elongate your lower body.

Adding a jacket, particularly a shorter one like a moto style, over a longer blouse can hide a tummy and create a waist.

6. Be Picky with Pants

Go for high-rise pants or jeans. They will tuck you in, hide that tummy and eliminate any sign of a muffin top. Also, wide-leg jeans or trousers create visual balance and an hourglass shape.

7. Be Careful with Patterns and Prints

Large prints and patterns make you look bigger. A more diminutive print can distract the eye, so if you like prints, make sure to keep them small. Any pattern that features a gathering or a rushing design along the torso will help to hide a tummy.

As far as stripes go, vertical rather than horizontal ones are best. The latter adds weight to anyone who wears them, but if you really love that horizontal stripe tee you have, add a jacket.

8. Be Choosy with Colors

Monochromatic dressing is the tip that almost everyone knows works well in camouflaging weight gain.  More specifically, dress in a column of a dark color such as black (of course) but give navy, brown, dark grey, deep green, and even magenta a try during this transition period.  Your top, bottom, and/or cardigan/jacket do not have to be a perfect match. Just remember that the color needs to be “tonal,” where the colors are pleasing to the eye, not exact. Add a scarf, belt, or a great necklace to add a pop of color to jazz up what could be a “boring” outfit.

How can we help you? This is our area of expertise. All day, every day, we’re working with women to help them style a wardrobe that fits perfectly, works with their lifestyle, and with their budget. Great-fitting clothes that you love will lift your spirits, and you deserve that.

Dressing a Curvy Figure

August 22, 2022 Lots of Luxe Personal Stylist, Proper Fit

Let’s face it: few of us are 100 percent happy with our appearance. We’re constantly agonizing over our body shape, no matter what it is. And, by the way, we wish that muffin top would go away and never come back.

We hear this all the time. We ourselves say it all the time. Some of us have even dared to dream of waking up looking like Heidi Klum. (Not going to happen!)

Many women look at a curvy figure as the kiss of death. But we believe curves are feminine and should be embraced as a positive feature. Granted, the word “embrace” when speaking about our curves is a hard one to swallow. No one wants to “embrace” what they consider a shortcoming. We want to eliminate it all together! 

But the fact is every woman is unique and the sum of much more than her body features. And the good news is that with the right clothes, there are numerous ways to mitigate what we don’t like about our figures and emphasize what we do. Knowing what to wear for your particular figure is vital in allowing you a way to dress in your personal style with confidence. (Hint: curvy ladies should stay away from anything that’s too tight or too loose. Clothing that skims the body is better.)

Here are some simple guidelines to help turn your negative attitude about your curves into a positive one. Keep these in mind, and you’ll feel like a million bucks every time you walk out your door.

Go For:

Defined Waists

Waist-cinching and wrap dresses are very flattering. So are wrap tops. When your waist is defined in the clothing you wear, especially a dress, it draws the eye to your natural waistline, which gives a slimming and elongating effect. As someone who is curvy, it’s likely that you have a naturally defined and smaller waist. Add more emphasis to that waist by styling outfits to highlight that area of the body.

Avoid the Oversized

Many women think that a billowing sundress will cover all ills. Not true if you’re curvy because all that does is create a shapeless figure which will look fuller than it already is.  You don’t want to wear bulky items because they add unnecessary volume to your shape. If you are a curvy girl, make sure your clothes fit you just right and stay away from clothes that are.

No Voluminous Sleeves

While bell sleeves and other exaggerated styles can be fun to wear, the curvy gal should stay away from them. Once again, voluminous sleeves add unnecessary volume to your curvy shape.

Monochromatic Dressing

If you’re really curvy, this is the single best way to camouflage those curves. The color of the pieces does not have to match identically but be tonal in nature. Tonal means the colors may be “off” a little and not match exactly, but they should blend beautifully. Tone-on-tone.

Dark Solids

Piggybacking onto Monochromatic Dressing…don’t go for only black. Think navy, brown, magenta, or spruce green. You will find these colors in our current Carlisle and ETCETERA fall collections.

Color Block Styling

Choose a design with a mix of two contrasting colors in your separates, dresses, and jumpsuits. For separates, go for a dark color on the bottom (as mentioned above – think dark brown, navy, spruce green, magenta, and black) and a bright top if you’re concerned about your lower half. The bright color will draw attention to your face and upper body, and the darker bottom will camouflage a heavier behind. Do the same with dresses and jumpsuits.

High-Waisted Clothing

A pant or skirt with a high waist has a slimming effect on the Curvy Figure, as long as you’re not petite in stature. Petite in stature means if you’re high-waisted.

Cropped Tops and Jackets

Any short clothing item will make you look taller and thinner, but beware of where your waistline sits. If you are high-waisted (petite) you will not want to wear cropped tops or jackets.  It’s all about balancing those proportions that we preach about. Curvy Petites is a blog for another day.

 Wrap Tops

These are one of the most flattering items for curvy figures. The wrap feature cinches you in and hides problem areas.

General Guidelines

Wear Clothes that Fit Your Body

This is the most important advice I can give you and is the advice I give to all my clients. We have weekly “fit appointments” at a tailor’s shop to ensure that every item our clients purchase fits them perfectly. Wearing clothes that fit and hang properly on your body can make the difference between terrible and terrific or fantastic and frumpy. Just because you’re curvy doesn’t mean your outfit has to look like you just pulled it out of Little House on the Prairie.

A tailor will help you ensure that your clothes are not too tight or loose. There is a difference between squeezing yourself into an outfit and your outfit fitting your body perfectly. Look at your rear end. You don’t want to see any panty line. If you do, that dress, skirt, or pants are just too darn tight. One tip: check out vanishing edge-type panties.  Soma has a good choice of styles and colors for these magical items, which are smooth, seam-free, and carry no tags. Wearing clothes that are properly proportioned to your body is key. Again, not too small and not too big. Clothes should skim your body and accent your curves.

Shop Now

No matter if your weight fluctuates, don’t wait until you shed those extra pounds to look for clothes. We advise our clients to go shopping and invest in the essential pieces immediately. It is so important to wear clothes that fit while losing weight, so you’ll look and feel your absolute best. Good pieces, garments with seam allowances of ¾ of an inch or more, as well as seams and darts, can be easily altered as you lose weight. This is also where a talented tailor and a personal stylist come in handy. They’ll be able to guide you in purchasing the clothes that look good now but can also work for the future. Tip: if you don’t like high-waisted pants or skirts, a tailor can “notch” a V at the back waistline to release that high-waist and drop it down a bit.

Don’t Forget Undergarments

Every woman can do with a little cinching here, there, and anywhere at times, so be sure you have a body briefer in your shapewear arsenal. A body briefer works like a swimsuit and has strong structuring and elasticity that supports your curves while enhancing your shape.

Curvy Figures, Please Do Not!

Wear leggings as if they’re pants. They’re not. Keep the leggings for the gym or while relaxing at home.

Are Your Clothes Making you Look Bigger?

May 18, 2021 Lots of Luxe Fashion Tips, Proper Fit

Tips & Tricks to Strategically Camouflage Flaws While Flaunting Your Best Assets

Want to learn the tips and tricks to accentuate your best assets and camouflage your flaws? The answer often lies with the clothes you choose.

Every woman’s body is unique. With that said, we all have our favorite and least favorite parts of our bodies. For confidence’s sake, we can learn exactly how to showcase the features of our bodies that we love and hide anything that we’d rather not. As always, it’s not about hating those parts we’d love to change but simply embracing them and accentuating the positives.

You may be wearing clothes that make you look bigger, hide your silhouette, or mask your favorite features. The great news is that we can slim down or make our bodies look fabulous within a matter of minutes with the right outfit.

Here are the top culprits for not looking your best.

Ill-Fitting Undergarments

Your bra, underwear, and shapewear are your foundation for looking good. If they don’t fit right (either too big or too small), even perfectly fitting clothes won’t look flattering. Too tight bras can cause bulges. Improperly fitting underwear can produce panty lines that make your rear look unfavorable. If shapewear doesn’t fit correctly, its purpose is no longer to your advantage. Always make sure you have the proper fit when it comes to undergarments. Getting professional fittings is a must to allow your best silhouette to shine through. What’s more, having underwear that fits right is just more comfortable!

Too Tight Clothes

This one is a given but let me elaborate. Often, tight-fitting clothes are fashionable, so we choose them based on their trendiness (read: skinny jeans). But we should be selecting clothes based on how good they make us feel and look rather than following the trends.

Clothes that are too tight can make us look larger. If you find yourself squeezing into anything, re-think it! Always choose clothes that fit you comfortably, even if it means going up a size. When you wear clothes that fit well, you won’t have to worry about unflattering angles.

Oversized Garments

On the flip side, wearing that oversized t-shirt, tunic, or jersey-style shirt with leggings is not doing your figure any favors. We probably feel more comfortable in large clothing, but if you want to flatter your figure, this is not the way to do it. This rule also applies to puffer jackets, chunky sweaters, and other pieces of clothing that add volume. If you want to look smaller, focus on well-fitting garments. If the sole goal is comfort, by all means, wear the oversized shirt!

Prints and Patterns

You’ve probably heard wearing horizontal stripes adds width to your figure. But what about other patterns? Many other prints can indeed add dimension and can create the illusion of a bulkier body. The two biggest culprits that make bodies noticeably fuller are large prints and horizontal stripes. If you love either of these prints, feel free to wear them, regardless. But if you are consciously trying to appear smaller, they are not your friend. Instead, try vertical stripes or small prints.

Chunky Footwear

Maybe you haven’t thought about how specific shoes can be unflattering to your figure, but it’s true. If you want to create the illusion of longer, slimmer legs, opt for sleeker, thinner, pointed-toe shoes. Wearing clunky heels and platforms adds more bottom heaviness and can make the legs appear shorter.

Need a Second Opinion?

If clothing fit is the last thing you have time for, you are not alone. Many women desire to look better, but their wishes fall to the wayside while taking care of everyone else. Finding a tailor, personal stylist, or wardrobe consultant takes the time and guesswork out of it so you can look your best while living your busy life.

Sometimes the best way to make sure your outfits are complementary to your figure is to ask a professional. Getting an unbiased, qualified expert to help you figure out what will make you look slimmer and chicer is just the ticket.

Size Isn’t Standard

August 27, 2020 Lots of Luxe Fashion Tips, Proper Fit, Wardrobe

Body Positive Changes to Finding Clothes that Fit

Women have cursed their size for decades. Some decades have been worse on us than others (think the gaunt models of the 90s when anything more than super thin was out), and thankfully we’ve made some progress on how we view women’s bodies. Lately, the media shows a variety of shapes, from petite to full-figured, and models are more diverse than they ever have been. Still, worrying about size is a common problem for women. If we aren’t a particular size, we feel bad.

It’s safe to say that most women have worries about their size, whether it be “comparisonitis” with other women or how personal size stacks up with the “ideals” we see in the media. There is no shortage of women who are not happy with their clothing, size or visiting the fitting rooms. I think it’s time to change that!

Here’s the thing: It’s less about your size and more about fit. Let’s emphasize a good fit over a number that comes on the tag. When women wear well-fitting clothes, they feel good about themselves, regardless of size!

Clothing size is merely a number, a measurement. It has no emphasis on how kind, funny, or astonishingly beautiful you are. Size cannot quantify your beauty and worth. Let size be just a number and focus on how you feel instead.

One thing that can help you achieve feeling good in your clothes is connecting some valuable words to your personal style. What is your truth when it comes to your style? Is it cool, posh, outrageous, iconic, luxurious, or striking?

 

Here’s what to ask yourself: What words do I want to attribute to my personal style?

As I write this, I am reminded just how powerful words are. Having powerful words assigned to the clothing you wear gives your personal style definition that you can rely on when putting outfits together or purchasing new items each season.

This idea is an inspiration from Brenda Kinsel, who has written about her search for the perfect sized jacket. She finally narrowed it down to a petite medium, after trying on a few sizes, saying, “And you know how I knew it was the right size for me? The standard-sized jackets felt dowdy on me. I wouldn’t have bought it. I’m a spunky, spirited kind of gal, and dowdy isn’t in my style vocabulary. When I got to the petite medium, it felt just right.”

Brenda makes an excellent point here. If your personal style is defined as “spunky,” for example, then anything “dowdy” just can’t be right for you!

Want some more tips? Here are five tips for nailing your personal style and focusing on fit, not size.

1. People notice when you look and feel good, and size is irrelevant. Size is for you (and your personal stylist) to know. Nobody else knows or cares for that matter. When you walk into a room as your-best-dressed-self, you get noticed regardless of your size. That’s why focusing on fit is so much more important. When clothes fit, you know it, and you feel good. You’ll also attract a lot of compliments. Fit is more important than any number.

2. When you wear clothes that fit, you are much more comfortable AND your confidence level immediately goes up. Comfortable fitting clothes allows you to relax, be yourself, and focus on more important things. Time spent tugging and pulling on ill-fitting clothes is time wasted. Don’t waste your time trying to fit into the clothes.  Instead, concentrate on how well your clothes fit and watch how you’ll have an extra pep in your step.

3. Remember that size is often relative. Have you ever been one size in a store and a totally different size in another? Clothing sizes for women fluctuate from designer to designer. Some designers’ silhouettes might run small and others larger. Clothing size varies a lot, so don’t be so hard on yourself. If clothing size isn’t even down to a science, then it shouldn’t be fretted over! Even if you think you’re sure of your size, it’s always a good idea to take two or three sizes into the fitting room, so you can decide which fit feels best.

4. Your body changes a lot. Give yourself some credit for being a woman, first and foremost. Over the years, our bodies change, and therefore, clothing sizes change. Even if your weight has been the same for years, our bodies can suddenly hold weight in different areas, or water weight can be a culprit in tightly fitting clothes. Cut yourself some slack because this is normal, and it happens to every body. If anything doesn’t fit you anymore, it’s time to consign it or donate it! You get to buy new clothes that fit right and make you feel wonderful while another woman will get to enjoy your previously-loved clothing.

5. Fashion changes and so do sizes. That has nothing to do with you or your body. Designers change the way clothes fit and fashion trends can change the way things fit on us. Once again, find clothes that fit your body without worrying too much about the numbers.

 

Finding Clothes that Fit With a Personal Stylist

Finding clothes that fit can be a frustrating task for many women. But it doesn’t have to be. If you need help implementing the tips above, we’re always available. Sometimes, finding clothes that fit and make you feel great can be accomplished by using professionals, from tailors to wardrobe stylists.

Don’t Leave the Fitting Room Without Knowing These Rules for a Perfect Fit

July 16, 2020 Lots of Luxe Proper Fit

Sometimes the perfect fit can seem rather elusive. And, it doesn’t matter if you’re petite, really tall, or full-figured. All shapes and sizes of women seem to have a common problem — finding clothes that unequivocally fit. When you’ve found that perfect pair of jeans that fit like a glove, we tend to cherish them like a prized possession, and that’s how you know the perfect fit is rare!

Aside from having a wardrobe stylist who can find you the perfect fit, the following fashion secrets are your best bet for finding clothes that truly fit. If you’re shopping on your own, here’s how to ensure all of your clothes fit properly.

If you’re trying on pants…

Give yourself a little extra wiggle room when trying on pants. You should be able to put two fingers inside the waistband. The truth is…sometimes we’re bloated. Women can’t expect to measure the exact same way all the time. So, having a bit of room will ensure you’re always comfortable in your pants and you won’t have to worry about them being suddenly too tight. It’s important to keep in mind that there should be no puckering or wrinkling in the front panel of the pants, and if that’s the case, they are too tight. On the flip side, if the fabric doesn’t lie flat, especially when you sit down, the pants are too big.

You have heard me say this before, having a tailor is crucial when it comes to the proper fit. Even the best quality pants’ pockets can gap when you sit down. And, many times, pants are too long. An easy fix is having a tailor remove the pockets to create a smoother silhouette and of course hemming the pants to create the perfect length for you is also easy and a must.

If you’re trying on blazers or jackets…

The best test to see if a blazer fits perfectly is being able to give someone a big bear hug. If you can’t comfortably give someone a hug or you can’t drive comfortably with it on, your blazer is too tight. When trying on blazers, make sure they aren’t too snug by wrapping your arms around yourself. Sometimes, blazers seem to fit until we decide to button them. If you prefer an open blazer, as long as the blazer isn’t too tight across your shoulder blades, it’s okay to leave them open. If you prefer a buttoned blazer, be sure it’s not too tight in the front!

When it comes to the seams, the shoulder seams should sit right on your shoulders. If the seam is too far over it is too large and will probably look a bit sloppy. Sleeve length is a personal preference, entirely up to you. Getting blazers to fit your exact proportions can be done with alterations.

If you’re trying on jeans…

Have you ever brought five or more pairs of jeans into the dressing room with no luck? You’re not alone in this. Many women have trouble finding jeans that fit, regardless of size. Many companies use models with a specific waist to hip ratio, so it’s no wonder that most women don’t find trying on jeans easy. The trick is to find a pair of jeans that fit fairly snug, especially because most jeans are made with Spandex or Lycra these days. With the addition of Spandex or Lycra in jeans, they will maintain their shape for longer periods of time which is a plus.

Again, for an authentic fit, getting a tailor to help create the perfect jeans for your body type may be necessary. If you find a perfect brand and size for you, stick with it and let your tailor make them perfect!

If you’re trying on button-up-the-front blouses…

With button-up blouse, the seams should lie flat, and be sure there is no gap between the buttons, a common fit issue with large-busted women. Button-ups, with a little stretch to them, tend to look better and provide a better fit. If the blouse is flattering but you still have some gaps between the buttons, a tailor can add hook and eye closures to help fix that. The length of a blouse’s cuffs should lay just below your wrists, just enough to peek out from a blazer. If there is extra fabric that reaches down to your hands, then getting the length shortened is recommended.

Be sure that the area of the blouse that covers your hips isn’t too tight or doesn’t ride up as you walk. Stroll around the dressing room to make sure.

In addition to jackets, make sure your blouses and your knit tops fit in the shoulders. Only blouses and tops with inset shoulder seams will need to sit right where your arm and shoulder meet.  This is a location that you will want to fit first.  Once the top fits you in the shoulders, you may need to tailor the sides or bust area. If your top has another shoulder design such as a drop-sleeve, ragland sleeve, or dolman sleeve where the shoulder seam sits off the shoulder, then the shoulder fit is not an issue.

If you’re trying on skirts…

Know your body type and based on this know which skirt silhouette looks the best on you.  Is it a straight, pencil/pegged, A-line, or a fit and flared skirt shape? Like pants, pockets should not pull open, you should not have any puckering or “whiskers” across the front and no “cupping under” in the hips.  What is “cupping under?”  If I said, “bubble butt,” would that help? In other words, you don’t want a skirt that’s too tight across your hips.

If you are a woman whose waist is smaller than your hips, get the size that best fits your largest point.  In this case, your hips. Then you may need the waist nipped in a bit. 

If you have the opposite issue, your waist is larger than your hips, then you will want to purchase the size that fits your waist the best. You may need to have the sides of the skirt “pegged-in.”  This is when the sides of a skirt tapers in. This is easily remedied by your tailor taking the back center-seam in, giving the skirt a tapered silhouette. It makes all the difference in the world. 

Knowing which silhouettes fit your body type the best, will help you eliminate additional alterations.

In addition to knowing which skirt shapes look best on you, you should also learn the various lengths you should wear your skirts.

If you’re trying on dresses…

Dresses can be a hard fit for a lot of women. If you are the same size on the top and bottom, you’re in luck. I recommend you use the same tips mentioned above for blouses and skirts when shopping for dresses.

A couple of additional tips for dresses…

  • If you’re trying on an empire waist, be sure it doesn’t sit too high on your bust because tailors might not be able to fix this. If the bust line does not look right, the dress isn’t for you!
  • Be aware that dresses without structured waistlines flatter most figures.
  • You can easily spot-check if a dress is going to fit by how the shoulders fit. The width of the hanger should be the width of the shoulders of the dress.

A simple way to always make sure your clothes fit…

If you’d rather not go it alone, a wardrobe stylist is the easiest way to get the look you want with the least amount of effort. One of the greatest benefits of a wardrobe stylist is that we are trained in the area of measure and proper fit, meaning you get a fabulous fit, every time.

Fit is important. And it doesn’t have to be hard! As always, consultations are easy and I’m always here to answer questions. And, I have connections to some of the best tailors in town.
