What to wear to graduation and entrance ceremonies? A safe outfit guide for plus-size women | Tips for covering your figure

As the season for ceremonies such as graduations and entrance ceremonies approaches, many people become anxious and wonder, "What should I wear?" or "Are there any clothes that will fit my current body type?"

For those with a plus-sized figure in particular, formal wear can seem like a high hurdle because the fabric is often not very stretchy and the design is tight.

This time, we will introduce tips on how to achieve both "body coverage" and "looking elegant," as well as recommended items carefully selected from the plus-size specialty online store "Angelsize."

1. When should I start preparing?

To sum up, the best time to start looking is from late January to early February .

• Ensuring stock: Beautiful designs and large sizes tend to sell out quickly just before the season begins (in March).
• Alteration period: If the sleeve or hem length is not right, it is best to have the garment on hand at least one month in advance, taking into account the time it will take to have it altered.
• Check your overall outfit: Take the time to check how your outfit matches with your shoes, bag, corsage, and stockings.

2. How to choose the right clothes for special occasions [according to body type]

When plus-size people choose formal clothing, it's important to keep in mind not just to "hide" but also to "create definition."

Slimming tips for each body part

• Around the stomach and buttocks: Choosing a high-waisted design or a peplum design will give the illusion of longer legs while disguising your figure.
• Upper arms: We recommend puff sleeves or a jacket with just the right amount of room.
• Tips for a clean look: Choose a V-neck or keyhole neckline to create a sharp look around the face.

4. Q&A to resolve common concerns!

Q. Is it okay to wear the same clothes to the graduation ceremony and entrance ceremony?

A: No problem at all!
However, the key to etiquette is to change your accessories. Graduation ceremonies are a time of farewells and gratitude, so keep it chic with dark colors (navy or black). Entrance ceremonies are a time of encounters and joy, so add a touch of glamour with brightly colored corsages and pearls.

Q. What if I'm not sure which size to choose?

A. The correct answer is to match it with your shoulder width and bust size.
Choosing a size that is too big because you're worried about your stomach area can actually make you look fatter. Choosing a size that fits your shoulders will make your whole body look sharp and toned.

Q. What color are the stockings?

A. The basic color is beige.
Black stockings are associated with mourning, so choose beige stockings that blend well with your skin when attending a celebration.
