When you look for fashion inspiration on the internet, most likely you will get ideas for skinny people. But in reality, not everyone is as skinny as we are made to think. In fact, most people do not match “the ideal body.” 

The plus-size model and influencer Marcela Gaya Baccarim Fagundes gives solutions to this problem. She provides fashion inspiration for people who have a similar body to hers.

    Obviously the woman on the right doesn't carry her weight in her belly. There isn't a universal plus size. (Just venting)

    Pose with your hands blocking your waist so you look more hourglass? Brilliant when you are standing still, hard to do long-term.

    These pants are ill-fitting but the open shirt plus lacy bustier looks nice

    I've tried all that, and I don't feel attractive or comfortable.

    Now I see what she’s doing. She’s comparing the styling that we “bigger” folks tend to use to hide ourselves (long pants, all black outfits, etc) and comparing them to styling we usually don’t believe we can “pull off.” It’s not meant to be identical outfits styled differently. It’s like a mindset comparison. Edit: I’m too tired to fix the grammatical mess above.

    I need to know what bra she is wearing! I can't wear shirts like that without being uncomfy.

    This also illustrates how different poses can be more flattering than others.

    Excellent job at putting her body into 3rds instead of cutting it in half.

    She needs to strike the same pose in both pictures for this to be accurate! Its like shes purposely standing frumpily in the left ones on every pic! Its not really a fair comparison

    Basically, tuck in your shirt or wear a belt.

    Your jeans not looking like they came from a dumpster is a great change. I don't understand why women want to wear jeans that look like cats mated on them.

    While the styles on the right look better than the ones on the left being tall makes a huge difference. If you put a tall woman & a short woman weighing the same side by side in the same outfits 100% the taller lady is going to look tons better.

    Red is more flattering than fuchsia.

    Heels may make you look better when standing still, but few women can walk elegantly in heels and walking like a chicken is not flattering, or comfortable.

    The common denominator to almost all of these styled shots is *tucking the top in*. Sometimes with a belt, sometimes not, but tucking in makes the legs look so much longer.

    You'd have to have a lot of confidence to wear these outfits, even if they look super nice. And heavy women don't always have that confidence. I know I don't.

    So many of these aren't fair. There is so much to be said for the way you carry yourself and the way you stand or the way you hold your body and your face LOL It's not all in just the clothes combinations.

    Paul, most women buy the clothes they wear because the clothes are A) cheap and B) COMFORTABLE. They don't wear clothes for you or clothes that try to save your butthurt feelings. Don't like 'em, don't look. Honestly, the day I let a man tell me how to dress is a day that will never come.
