Celebrating Your Curves: Fashion Tips for Body Positivity

At Ivory & Main Curvy Corner Boutique in Port Jefferson, NY, we believe fashion is for everyone, regardless of size. Our mission is to help women embrace their bodies, love their curves, and feel empowered through clothing that fits well and looks stunning. Getting dressed with confidence can truly be transformative. Here are our tips to help you look and feel your best.

1. Focus on Fit, Not Size

Forget about the numbers on the tag and instead focus on how the clothes make you feel. A proper fit is all about comfort and confidence. For plus-size fashion, finding garments that hug your body in the right places and provide the support you need is key. 

At Ivory & Main, we offer a wide range of sizes that fit curvy bodies, making sure you can try on the styles you love instead of imagining them in your size. Remember, confidence comes from how you feel in the outfit, not the size on the label.

2. Highlight Your Best Features

Everyone has features they love about their body—whether it's your legs, your shoulders, or your waist. Choose clothing that accentuates those areas. For example, a wrap dress can draw attention to your waist, while an off-the-shoulder top can show off your neckline.

Not sure which styles work best for your body type? Our expert stylists at Ivory & Main are here to help you find the perfect looks that highlight your curves. We encourage trying a variety of styles, and our team will never say no to helping you explore new looks!

3. Play with Patterns and Colors

Gone are the days of "safe" fashion choices for plus-size women. Don't be afraid to experiment with bold prints, patterns, and colors. Whether it's a vibrant floral dress, a trendy geometric print, or a bright monochrome look, the right colors can make a powerful statement and elevate your mood.

Yes, dark colors are slimming, but you shouldn’t feel limited to just black or navy. Jewel tones, pastels, and metallics can all add a sense of elegance and confidence to your look. At Ivory & Main Curvy Corner Boutique, we have a wide selection of plus-size clothing in a variety of colors and patterns, so you're sure to find something that fits your personality and style.

4. Accessorize with Confidence

Accessories can transform any outfit and make it truly your own. Whether it’s a statement necklace, a chic belt to cinch the waist, or a unique handbag that adds a pop of color, the right accessories can take your look from simple to stunning.

At Ivory & Main, we also offer a range of accessories—such as jewelry, belts, handbags, and more—to help you complete any outfit with flair. Our stylists can help you find the perfect pieces to complement your wardrobe and celebrate your unique style.

5. Confidence is the Best Accessory

Ultimately, the key to looking great is feeling great. Embrace your body, wear what makes you happy, and don’t be afraid to experiment with your style. The goal is to express yourself and feel empowered by what you wear.

At Ivory & Main Curvy Corner Boutique, we celebrate every shape and size, and we’re here to help you find clothing that helps you feel beautiful, stylish, and confident every day.
