Curvy ladies are finally being celebrated, in the media and even in high end modelling agencies; with Tess Munster leading the way when it comes to body acceptance and learning to love yourself. Her #effyourbeautystandards campaign is helping women all over the world come together to celebrate diversity in body shapes and to support each other, instead of shaming other women.

The fashion world has also recently embraced this mantra, with high street stores offering something for everyone, including the curvier ladies who are looking for clothes that fit but are also on trend. Ignore ignorant people like Jamelia when they say that plus size clothes shouldn’t be allowed on the high street, just because you’re curvier doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look and feel good every single day.

Here are three high fashion looks for you to try out:

Embrace the crop top

Crop tops are a trend that isn’t going to disappear any time soon, so instead of shying away from them because you think you can’t pull one off because you’re curvy – just look how blogger gabifresh pulls it off.

Pair a high neck crop top with a tulle skater skirt for that cute Carrie Bradshaw look and finish off with strappy heels and a leather jacket draped around your shoulders. We can’t get enough of the skirt selection at BV (Blue Vanilla) for a high end, fairy tale look.

Knee high, thigh high, sky high

It doesn’t matter whether you are a size 6, 16 or 26, knee and thigh highs look amazing on everyone and don’t need to just be worn in boot form.

Pick up some knee high socks and pair them your favourite trainers and a loose t-shirt dress for sportswear chic, or alternatively get your hands on some tights featuring sheer thighs and suspender patterns. These look incredible with heels and a little black dress, the suspender elongates the leg and adds a sexy twist to a classic look. Red lipstick to finish the look off is a must.

Dare to double denim

Hear us out, because no matter how much we try to avoid it, double denim is here to stay and it’s a look the celebs like to play with too. Okay, it is probably best to avoid the Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake ensemble circa 2001, but double denim is definitely a look you can rock and one that designers, such as Gucci, embraced for the catwalk this year.

Curvy blogger Chante B. gets it right with this outfit, which combines a timeless pair of jeans, a denim shirt and a bright denim jacket thrown over the shoulders – see, not a denim cowboy hat in sight! Finish off with heels and a chunky necklace for everyday wear or even when heading to the bar on a Friday night after work.

Whatever your size or shape, it’s important that you wear what you feel comfortable in and just remember you can never go wrong with a cute fit and flare dress!
