With the right style or fit, this season’s fashion trends can work well on any body type. “If they’re cut right, all the trends will translate over perfectly,” says plus-size model Candice Huffine.
This season, Ms. Huffine, who confesses to being a big fashion lover, particularly loves the black-and-white trend in clothing. “I know I will look sleek and polished in simple black-and-white pairings,” says Ms. Huffine. She particularly likes to wear black-and-white-stripes, which she thinks looks “beautiful on curves.”
Regardless of whether you’re doing the look in stripes or a pattern, “the shape is going to be key.” Something simple like a fitted black dress with some white, vertical detailing on the side “creates a nice silhouette,” says Ms. Huffine, who has been featured in ad campaigns for retailers including Bloomingdale’s, Lane Bryant and H&M.
Jumpsuits are an easy item for curvy figures, Ms. Huffine says. “I like wide-legged jumpsuits. There are so many available right now, for all occasions,” she says. And “sheer, kind of flowy silhouettes,” such as harem pants and blousier tops, “are really easy” as well.
“I love a really flowy, lightweight silk top with a slimmer-cut pant or a skinny jean or shorts and if I’m doing a harem pant, I would wear a more form-fitted shirt on top,” says Ms. Huffine. “There’s a common misperception that curvy women just want things that are completely square so they don’t show anything at all.”
