Well, it is.

Seriously, I’d like you to imagine something in your mind right now:

It is a difficult day. You are feeling a bit low. You throw on a clean shirt and a pair of jeans to go to the grocery. You walk in, dwelling on how you feel, a bit bleary eyed and wondering how you are going to make it through the rest of the things you need to accomplish today. You slump a bit, because you don’t want to go through the effort of holding yourself up, and you hope you can just get out of there without running into anyone, because that would be too much effort.

The plus and full figure types are those who have to watch the waist area the most, because it is filling (or filled) in, and a mistake here can make you look larger than you are.

Because your body has plenty of curves (not always in the right places, you think), clothing with angular details is a great way to draw attention to the right places. Think V-neck tops, wrap tops, and asymmetrical skirt hemlines.
