“Big boned”, “big and tall” or “big and beautiful”; whichever terminology one chooses to use, let’s not deny that the “Twiggy’s” went “out” (in the 1970’s, by the way), and the “Queen Latifahs” are not only “in”, but HERE TO STAY! Some more great news is that SO are the plus size fashions and these larger sizes can now be found, virtually EVERYWHERE. In particular, let’s talk about “plus size leather jackets”. Women of a more rotund or larger framed magnitude NATURALLY desire the same styles in fashion as women of a smaller or more petite and smaller sized frame and stature and why shouldn’t they? Women ARE WOMEN, after ALL. Plus size woman no longer (as in years, PAST) must be limited to shopping for their leather jackets in the MEN’s section of the department store, due to the stupendous selections of sizes, colors, styles and brand-names IN the plus size leather jackets, designed FOR “plus sized” women…
There are just as many, possibly even MORE (based on my PERSONAL search and experience) styles, colors and brand-names of plus size leather jackets, on the market, specifically designed for larger framed women. I say that there are “more” variations of styles, colors and brand-names, due to a number of reasons. Larger women love to feel “attractive” (as ALL women do) and one way that this desired appearance is accomplished is by giving the “illusion” of slimming the waste line and increasing or decreasing the appearance of the bust and hip sizes. A jacket with a “cut to frame” design is REMARKABLE for providing ALL of these features to the “not-so-petite” feminine figure. Wearing a darker shade, i.e. black, smoke grey, or dark brown, tends to provide the slimming effect, as well. Many larger framed women’s body temperatures tend to rise more quickly, when exposed to warmer environments and atmospheres, than that of slightly more petite females. A jacket that includes a zip-out liner provides the desired temperature comfort, SUPERBLY, when worn without the inner-liner.
Things that women would want to avoid, when purchasing their plus size leather jackets would be such things at: Waist-cut jackets; this style jacket can give an illusion of “broader” hips, which a woman would not wish to give, if her desire is to provide the appearance of a SMALLER hip size. Another aspect to avoid (if desiring to express a “slimming effect”) would be to choose lighter shaded colors, such as tan, teal or yellow. Lighter colors tend to give a more prominent appearance to any size frame structure.
