5 Plus Size Fashion Rules That Are STUPID and Should be Broken! (You'll Look Frumpy)

I love the blazer

Whats a kitten heel

I’m not plus-sized, but I have friends that are plus-sized that want me to help them with their style. I love videos like yours so I can give good advice for their body shape. A number of “stylists” either recommend baggy, frumpy, shapeless items or clothing that is 3-4 sizes too small for plus-sized women. Your recommendations are very stylish and flattering.

I can’t wear any type of heels whatsoever because of knee and ankle issues any suggestions 🙂

A great video!. While some rules work, sometimes they don't.

My problem is that I have no smallest part of my body I am fully round :D When I wear belt it always rides up under by boobs and thenit looks totally horrible

Well said. You looked great in each outfit as you added belts, pumps, etc. It all made perfect sense. Thank you.

I haven’t worn a tucked in shirt or belt for decades. Do I have the courage? 🤫

As a short wasted woman, my smallest part is literally under my bust. And at my age my tummy forms an apron. I wish I was tall and long wasted like you. 🙁🤷

Thank you for your videos! I love this one and your hauls. I am not able to wear heels due to an accident so I always feel frumpy with flats.

This very video of yours has changed the way I dress forever! ❤

I would like to thank you for helping me not look like a box anymore! You gave me the courage to buy a belt and it’s made all the difference. Also I got rid of all my capris. Thank you!

I can’t believe I just found you. I have been wanting this kind of style and I love the way you give information.

I looooovvveee this!!! The black silk skirt + red tank is just *chefs kiss*. I can't believe it took me so long to realise I can do what I want with my outfits rather than follow outdated fashion "rules." thank you for this video!

Where are your favorite places to shop?

Thank you! Plus size and you helped solidify some of my choices. I love nice clothes and had to upsize recently due to a change in weight and shape. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. You looked so nice in all your out fits. And I subscribed to your channel.

What a gorgeous voice you have.

Gosh I just found your channel. Finally a woman my size and 5 foot! I love your content! Thank you! Back in the day I would tuck my blouses into my dress pants at work. Two women told me I looked awful (size 14 at that time)……I felt so bad. I would never tell someone they looked bad……😵‍💫

Thank you ! and OMG that Blue plaid blazer!!!

I love the tips. For me the French tuck I just don't like though, respectfully. I'll definitely try belts.

I just love your style!

Great tips! Thanks

I like your Suggestions and ideas. Thanks a lot you are the best 🌺🌹💥💥💥💥

You look good
Nice that you show what the shape is before and after
Changing it
It’s true we don’t need to change the wardrobe
We need to change how it falls on the body
And shapes our body

Hello Oralia, I just started watching your videos and am loving your tips! I am about 5”7” and have always been a size 10 or medium. But in my sixties I find I my shoulders are the same but my bust and belly require a size 12 or large now. So finding the right fit as become a challenge. I found you looking for belt tips and see you’ve many tips o help me. I would like to buy one belt to start and thought the obi was a bit pricey for me right now. But I will consider it based on your recommendation of which belt style to start with, have you a suggestion? Stephanie

I’ve always been afraid of belts! Maybe I’ll give one a whirl this year!

God Bless you O everyone should do what feels good to them especially us seasoned divas.❤❤❤

Thank you for these great tips.

I am new to your channel and I love your style. Where did you get the black toe slippers.

I´m sooooo happy 🙂to find a stylist who is plus size on herself!!! Great video!!! Can you answer me this QUESTION, please: Does the french tuck only works with very wide leg pants? How do you style skinny or straight leg pants/jeans?

Thank you Oralia! I think you are right-so much of dressing for plus size women is about confidence. Before I was plus size I never gave a thought to following other peoples rules and its taken me a long while to dress to suit my new body as I always feel judged-I'm a big fan of the third piece as I'm now tucking in and wearing belts again but I'm still not ready to show my side view without!! Thank you again xxxxxxx

You look very put together wonderful

I remember when I was younger I thought that large women with their shirts tucked in, looked bigger! I like the shirt belted better, so that the bottom of the shirt covers the stomach, almost like a peplum.

Please do a Part Two of this. I loved the video ❤

Love this! You look AHMAZING

Love this video. Your explanation of breaking the rules has definitely boosted my confidence,especially in wearing belts. I also purchased that obi belt. Can you share the brand of the blazer you styled with the belt in the back? Gorgeous.

love this video Oralia/love these outfits/your taste is so wonderful/love your videos XXX

Lots of good ideas 🌼

I love your horizontal stripes under a jacket, looks fabulous.❤

I am old and my weight might not change but my shape does, I call it shape shifting. So the waist of my pants might get loose and it’s time for a belt.

You are right about the belt, I need to work on that. Thanks❤

I love the black you are wearing, I wear a lot of black. Linen in summer. ❤😊

Wonderful, Oralia! I'm a plus sized woman who is very insecure about my body. Thank you for giving me the confidence to break the rules and up my fashion game! - xx, Carla

I want to raid your closet!

Excellent video with tips that has helped me step out of my comfort zone. I had a lady comment at a event last week that I really look put together. Thanks so much!!

Lots of good tips here! thanks!!

I am SO tired of hearing people tell apple bodies we shouldn’t wear leggings because it makes our top portion look bigger. I’m so glad you added the tunic or oversized shirt with leggings! That’s one of my favorite things to wear. I don’t know why people say we can’t wear skinny jeans or leggings with tunics because I think it looks super cute. Plus my legs are one of my best assets!

Great tips. Love your videos! Thanks!

You were spot on with this video. Thank you. 😊

I'm largest misses or smallest plus. I have felt bad being unable to keep weight off since turning 60. After watching you for 6 months or so I now have the courage to tuck and wear belts. Thank you. I'm also wearing stripes.
