How to Buy Plus Size Clothes for Teens

If the teen in your life wears a plus size, you can help her find clothing that reflects her personality as well as makes her feel comfortable. New plus size teen departments and stores have fulfilled the need for girls to find clothes that look flattering on their larger size. Read on to learn how to buy plus size clothes for teens.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Shop at stores geared towards plus size teens. Torrid is a clothing chain that offers many plus size clothing options that can help your teen feel stylish.

2. Look for plus size shirts with empire waists. An empire waist accentuates her top while flattening the abdominal area. Tops in dark solid colors are safe bets, but you can also try pastels during the spring.

3. Wear simple spring dresses. A spring dress in a plus size is a flattering look on a teen girl. The type of sleeves that you purchase will depend on her comfort level. She can go sleeveless, choose a halter top or pick a dress with spaghetti straps.

4. Buy items to create a layered look. A simple shirt worn under a form fitting jacket or blazer can slim your plus size teen while also keeping up with the latest style.

5. Consider darker denim choices. A straight leg or boot cut jean in a dark color not only flatters your teen's figure, but also makes her feel trendy.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid stretch pants for teen girls. This look is not only out of fashion, but will add extra weight to her body.
• Avoid buying big T-shirts for your plus size teen. This look only makes her look and feel hefty.
