Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the most flattering stripes for my body shape?

Polka dots are a trending print seen everywhere right now, and choosing the right style for your body shape makes all the difference. By playing with dot size, colour, and placement, you can find a flattering look that feels confident and uniquely you.

Should I wear vertical, horizontal, or diagonal stripes?

Choose based on the desired look, vertical for an elongating effect, horizontal for widening or highlighting curves, and diagonal for a dynamic, flattering visual interest.

Are thin or thick stripes more flattering for plus size figures?

Medium to thicker stripes tend to be more flattering, as they create a balanced, proportional look, while thinner stripes can sometimes look and feel less defining.

What are common mistakes to avoid when wearing stripes?

Common mistakes include clashing directions or colours, ignoring your body shape, and wearing poorly proportioned pieces, which can make stripes feel daunting or unflattering. By avoiding these errors, you can create a flattering look that accentuates your silhouette for a polished, confident appearance.

Is it better to avoid clashing stripe widths or colours?

Yes, to create a balanced look, avoid clashing stripe widths or colours. It’s best to stick to complementary tones and varied scales for a cohesive outfit.

Should I match the stripe direction across multiple pieces?

While it is not necessary, mixing directions like a vertical on top and a horizontal stripe on the bottom can create a stylish, balanced look for proportions that are harmonious.

Darker stripes tend to create a slimming effect, as they elongate the body and draw the eye upward, while lighter or high-contrast stripes can sometimes have the opposite effect.

Can bold, contrasting stripes be flattering or overwhelming?
