Plus size clothes generally refers to sizes fourteen and up in women's apparel and sizes that are over XL in men's clothing.. The sizing has become more standardised yet it still varies from country to country.

There are over sixty brands to choose from in plus sized women's clothes in the U.K. but most of them are manufactured elsewhere. A U.K. size sixteen is the equivalent to a size twelve in the U.S. The European sizing is different as well, with the European size of forty six being similar to a thirty six for a men's suit in the U.S. as well as the U.K.

Bigger size, greater fashionHeavier  people  always  want  to  look  thinner and tend to wear loose fitting clothes to cover up their excess baggage.

   Baggy clothes add mass to their body .   Tight fitting clothes, on the other hand, aren't recommended  either  because  they  highlight   body's  pronounced  curves  and  attract unwanted  attention  to  larger  body  parts.

•When  choosing  a  blazer,  larger  men  should avoid  double-breasted  blazers  because  these will make the upper body look even plumper.•They  should  instead    opt  for  a  nicely  fitted single-breasted  blazer,  preferably  one  that  can be buttoned all the way up. The higher buttons  help  divert  people's  attention  from  the  area between your waist and chest. Pinstripes  and  other  vertically  striped  patterns and  V-necks  also  help  give  your  body  a  more elongated look

Shoes are another item of apparel that may be difficult to find a fit for. Men especially, who have very large feet, can find it challenging to find a good fitting, comfortable shoe or boot. Sizes over a twelve are generally difficult to come by unless they are shopped for at a king size for men store either locally or on the internet.

Materials and colour choices have vastly improved over the past few decades in plus size clothes.

Subtle colours and form-fitting 'slinky' dresses make a fashion statement that shows off a woman's assets, while camouflaging her less desirable frailties. Overall, fashion has finally found it niche when it comes to those who are comfortable with their size.
