Welcome back, dear Glamory fans! Today we are looking at a topic that forms the basis of every well-stocked wardrobe. We have all been there: standing in front of the wardrobe, wondering how best to show off our curves. That is exactly where our comprehensive styling guide for every figure comes in! Whether you have an important meeting at the office, are spending a relaxed afternoon with friends or are looking forward to a glamorous party in the evening, we will show you how to celebrate your proportions and why the right legwear is the key to an outfit you feel completely comfortable in.
The styling guide for every figure: which body type are you?
At Glamory, we know that every woman is unique, and that is exactly what makes fashion so exciting. To create the perfect look, it helps to know your own body type. For plus sizes, our styling guide for every figure usually distinguishes between these three beautiful silhouettes:
- The A shape (pear): Your upper body is narrower, while your hips and thighs have feminine curves. Tip: Draw attention to your upper body (for example with an eye-catching neckline) and choose darker, matt tights that visually lengthen your legs.
- The O shape (apple): You have slim legs and a fuller middle. Tip: Your legs are your star feature! Show them off in knee-length dresses and go for eye-catching tights with a subtle sheen or a pattern.
- The X shape (hourglass): Your shoulders and hips are roughly the same width and your waist is noticeably narrower. Tip: Emphasise your waist with belts and figure-hugging dresses. Here, your tights can be classic and elegant.
The office look: confident and stylish at work
At work, you want to come across as competent without sacrificing comfort. In a business setting, a good styling guide for every figure focuses on one thing above all: finding the perfect balance between elegance and professional restraint.
Pair your Glamory tights with a classic pencil skirt and a smart blouse or a quality knitted dress. For the office, we recommend a matt finish or a very subtle silky sheen. Too much shimmer or bold patterns can quickly look busy under harsh office lighting.
Our expert tips for your working day:
- The right thickness: Tights between 20 and 40 denier are the ideal companion for work. They conceal small imperfections but still let your skin breathe. Glamory Satin 20 sheer tights are an absolute bestseller for this.
- Choosing a colour: Black and anthracite are classics. In a business context, however, a deep navy or a warm chocolate brown often looks softer and goes beautifully with A-line skirts.
An afternoon in town: casual chic meets comfort
After a successful day at work, you meet up with friends for coffee or a long shopping trip. Now things can be more relaxed. A well-thought-out styling guide for every figure shows you how to transform your outfit effortlessly.
Slip into your favourite dress or a loose tunic. In your free time, anything goes! Don't be afraid to try some colour. Opaque tights (50 denier and up) paired with on-trend loafers or white trainers create a modern, urban look that is hugely popular right now. The most important thing: the comfort waistband! Our special Glamory plus size fit makes sure the waistband stays where it belongs without digging into your tummy.
The seasonal check in our styling guide for every figure
Fashion is constantly changing, and so is our styling guide for every figure. Here is how to be perfectly dressed all year round:
Spring & summer: When the first rays of sunshine arrive, you want to feel fresh. Ultra-sheer styles (15–20 denier) in nude shades are ideal. They work like make-up for your legs and prevent your thighs rubbing uncomfortably on warm days (chub rub).
Autumn & winter: When the weather turns nasty, it is time for warming styles. A tip for elegant winter outfits is the opaque Glamory Vital 70. It gives any winter dress a calm, opaque base and offers gentle support.
A night out: glamour and wow factor
When the sun goes down, it is time to make an entrance. An elegant dinner or a party at a club calls for that certain something. A little black dress or a fashionable jumpsuit with a plunging neckline only looks complete with the right legs.
An absolute highlight for curvy women in the evening is a pair of stay-ups. They are often the more comfortable choice under very tight dresses because there is no waistband showing on your tummy. They also give you that irresistible, feminine feeling of luxury on your skin. Paired with high heels, they lengthen your silhouette and give you stunningly long legs.
Conclusion: your personal styling guide for every figure
We hope our styling guide for every figure has shown you that fashion is not a question of dress size but of the right proportions and fit. With a careful choice of Glamory products, you are ready for any occasion. Allow yourself to experiment, show off your best side and, above all, wear your curves with pride! Because even the most beautiful outfit in the world only looks perfect when you feel unstoppable in it.
