Leanness, slimness and low weight are the trends of recent years. However, in this article we’re not going to discuss the consequences of careless weight loss – fortunately, the public’s become more aware and seems to understand the hidden danger of following a so-called “fashion”. You’ve probably noticed it yourself: more and more people are joining the body-positive movement.
If you’re one of these people too and believe that a better alternative to dangerous diets is to wear the right dress, then this article is for you.

Oversized Is Fashionable

So, this is the very first and simplest option that comes to mind when it is necessary to hide the imperfections of the figure. Moreover, in 2024 oversized clothing is a trend, so it is definitely worth choosing several wardrobe elements in this style. However, remember that oversizing hides not only the body’s disadvantages but also advantages, therefore it is necessary to choose an oversized dress correctly as well. Here are some suggestions.
- Use ready-made images to create your outlook. For example, use the Online-Stylist service to get more ideas on how to combine a maxi dress plus size with other things. Plus, a nice bonus – you can shop directly on this site.
- The black oversized dress is the most versatile solution. Choose it if this is your first oversized experience and you don’t yet understand what shoes and accessories you will choose to complement the look. Don’t be timid – everything that is already in your closet is suitable for a particular occasion.
- According to Vogue, the trend of winter 2024 is knitted oversized dresses in pastel colors. In some cases, these dresses may resemble an elongated sweater – suitable for girls who want to hide the flaws of the figure in the abdomen area.
- An oversized dress should be 1-2 steps larger than your usual size. If you choose a dress much larger than you ideally need, you run the risk of looking ridiculous – as if you were wearing the dress of your plump grandma.
Choose High-Waisted Styles

A high waist allows you to hide the imperfections of the figure in the hips and abdomen. Visually, dresses of this model allow you to raise the waistline and move it immediately under the bust. And the effect of the slimness of the hips is achieved due to the fact that the lower part of the dress is flared. Or, choose a narrower model with a high waist if, on the contrary, you want to emphasize the shape of the hips and legs.
Such styles of dresses look especially profitable if they have a small print pattern (we will talk about this option a little later).
Do Not Buy a Dress with Wide Horizontal Stripes or Squares

Large horizontal stripes are such “style elements” that can make any figure visually thick. Even for girls whose shapes are just perfect, it can be difficult to choose a dress with horizontal stripes because it instantly fills out the appearance of the figure. Do not use this pattern in your wardrobe. The same goes for the checkered pattern. Checkered patterns are suitable for a very slim figure because they are not able to hide anything.
Therefore, in order to make the figure more slender and elongated, choose dresses that have textured patterns on the sides. For example, lace, beads or color prints but only on a plain dress and only on the sides.
Pay Attention to the Trapeze Dress

We already talked about a dress with a high waist, and now let’s talk about a trapeze dress. Visually, these two models are slightly similar, however, in the second case, the waistline is completely absent. This is ideal for those who think it would not be superfluous to remove a few centimeters from this area but to do this with a dress, and not with the help of restrictions.
A trapeze dress is a perfect stylish look for the summer, especially when it is made of airy and natural materials. And by the way, slender girls seem even more slender in such dresses due to the airy and soaring effect.
Maxi Dresses Can Hide Anything

Maxi dresses perfectly hide your legs if this is the part of the body that you want to hide. And of course, they make you more slim and tall due to the long hem of the dress. For instance,
- You can choose a maxi dress with a V-neck to draw attention to the lush chest, but hide the extra few centimeters at the waist and legs.
- Or, you can choose a dress with a narrowed waist to emphasize your harmony in this area, but not to draw any attention to your chest and legs.
Fine Print Distracts from the Imperfections of the Figure

Remember, we promised to talk about dresses in a fine print? This is the ideal option to hide the imperfections of the figure, regardless of the style of the dress that you choose. A fine print is best combined with a trapeze dress or an oversized dress. Visually, a small print draws attention to the drawing itself, but not to the figure that is hidden under it. Be sure to remember this when you will choose a new dress for yourself.
T-shirt Dress – for the Brave and Decisive

The T-shirt dress is a current trend in 2019 and in 2024, it will also be very fashionable. This option is highly recommended for owners of slender legs, but not too lush of a chest and not the too narrow of a waist. A t-shirt dress hides it all in an instant. And it looks really fashionable, stylish, modern and bold. The T-shirt dress matches perfectly with sneakers, a denim vest and a small bag of a bright color.
Conclusion
As you can see, it’s absolutely not necessary to exhaust yourself with diets in order to look like models from the cover of Vogue magazine. And we will tell you even more – the trend for thinness is gradually losing its strength. The journal.ie says one French modeling agency has already refused to work with models who are too thin. So, appreciate your natural beauty, and the right dress will help you emphasize your merits.
