Public │ update

"I'm in my 20s and a bit chubby, but I want to look fashionable in the office too!" "It's hard to find clothes to wear to work in the summer that both protect against the heat and conceal my figure..." Aren't there many chubby office ladies in their 20s who have these kinds of worries?

In the summer, people tend to wear lighter clothing, which can make them more self-conscious about their figure, but if you keep the key points in mind, you can create a cool, comfortable, and stylish outfit for your commute. In this article, we'll introduce fashion tips and recommended slimming items for plump office ladies in their 20s to help them shine in the office this summer.

1. Three basic rules for summer commuting outfits for chubby office ladies in their 20s

When it comes to summer commuter fashion, you want to prioritize functionality as well as a cool look. By following these three basic rules, you can make your everyday fashion more fun.

1-1. Choose the right material to keep you cool and clean!

When it comes to office wear, it's important to look clean. Since it's easy to sweat in the summer, choose materials that are moisture-wicking and quick-drying.

  • Linen/hemp blend material: It has excellent breathability and a smooth texture. It also has an elegant texture that is suitable for the office.
  • Cotton material: Excellent moisture absorption and gentle on the skin. It is useful for a variety of items, such as lightweight shirts, blouses, and dresses.
  • Soft material (rayon, polyester blend): It has a moderate drape and flatters the body without clinging too much. If you choose a wrinkle-resistant material, it's also perfect for commuting.
  • Cool-to-the-touch materials: Recently, the number of materials with a cooling effect has been increasing. Incorporating these materials into your innerwear or blouses will make you feel even more comfortable.

1-2. Choose the right silhouette to enhance your style!

Choosing the right silhouette is important to achieve both figure coverage and style enhancement.

  • I-line silhouette: The I-line silhouette makes the whole body look longer and has a very slimming effect. Try it with straight pants, a tight skirt, or a dress that accentuates the vertical lines.
  • A-line silhouette: The A-line silhouette gently widens from the waist to the hem, subtly covering the stomach and hips while creating a feminine impression. We recommend incorporating it into blouses and dresses.
  • V-neck and U-neck: V-necks and U-necks make the neck look neater, sharpen the face, and enhance the slimming effect.
    • Tip: Choose one that is not too deep and has an elegant opening.
  • A comfortable fit: Choosing clothes that are too big to cover your body shape can make you look bulky. Choose clothes that fit you perfectly and have a comfortable fit around the shoulders and sleeves.

1-3. Control the eye with colors, patterns, and accessories!

By using visual effects effectively, you can create a smarter impression.

  • Slimming with dark colors: Dark colors such as black, navy, and charcoal gray are shrinking colors that can make you look slimmer. They are a good choice for bottoms and jackets.
  • Bright colors raise your center of gravity: By incorporating bright colors and patterns into your tops, the eye is drawn to your upper body, making your overall look more balanced.
  • Stripes accentuate vertical lines: Stripes accentuate vertical lines and create a slimming effect. Thin stripes are also suitable for the office.
  • Accentuate with accessories: Wearing large necklaces, earrings, or a gorgeous scarf around your face will draw attention to them and divert attention away from areas of concern.
  • Pumps give your feet a slender look: V-cut pumps that show the top of your foot can make your legs look longer and give you a slimmer overall look.

3. [Q&A] How to hide upper arms for plus-size people - answers to common questions!

Q1. Aren't long sleeves and three-quarter sleeves too hot in the summer?

A1. The choice of material is important. Natural materials such as hemp, cotton, and linen, as well as soft materials such as rayon, are breathable and cool to the touch, making them comfortable to wear even in the summer. It is also recommended to wear outerwear made of sheer or lace materials.

Q2. If I have thick upper arms, are French sleeves or puff sleeves a no-no?

A2. No, not at all! French sleeves and puff sleeves are very effective at covering your upper arms. In particular, designs with flared cuffs or loose puff sleeves that don't fit too tightly around your arms don't emphasize the thickness of your upper arms, but rather make them look slender. What's important is the roominess of the cuffs and the overall silhouette, rather than the length of the sleeves.

Q3. I want to wear sleeveless tops, but I'm worried about my upper arms. What should I do?

A3. If you want to wear sleeveless tops, try the following:

  • Add a lightweight outer layer: A sheer shirt, linen cardigan, or lace cardigan will subtly cover your upper arms.
  • Layering a gilet or vest: This will accentuate your vertical lines and make your entire body look slimmer, not just your upper arms.
  • Wear a shawl or scarf: Wearing a shawl around your shoulders and arms is a stylish way to hide your upper arms.
  • Draw attention away with accessories: It is also effective to draw attention to your face and hands with large necklaces, earrings, and bangles.

Q4. Are there any tips for looking stylish while still covering up your body shape?

A4. Yes, there are a few tips.

  • Consider an "I-line" or "A-line" silhouette: The vertical I-line gives a sleek overall look, while the A-line covers the upper body while making the feet look light.
  • Shift your center of gravity upward: Draw the eye upward with brightly colored tops, chunky accessories, and updos to enhance your style.
  • Add accents with accessories: Adding a trendy touch or accenting colors with accessories such as hats, bags, and shoes will tighten up your overall outfit.
  • Choose the right size for you: If you choose a size that is too big to cover up your body shape, it may end up looking sloppy. It is important to choose a design that is just the right size and has a loose fit.

4. Summary: Enjoy fashion without worrying about your upper arms this summer!

The key to hiding your upper arms as a plus-size person is to choose the right material, design, and make good use of outerwear. Like the dresses we introduced, there are many items that can help you look stylish while also helping to conceal your figure.

This summer, enjoy fashion with confidence without worrying about your upper arms!
