I know summer can be a scary time for those of us with a little extra chub; legs are out and sleeveless dresses are in. But you don’t have to be afraid! I dare you to challenge yourself this summer, step out of your comfort zone and into some super cute clothes. Stop worrying about what others think and focus on knowing that you look incredible. Rock the thunder thighs and show off your amazing body whatever size or shape you are. To help you along in your journey, I’ve picked out some of my favourite trends of moment that are perfectly suited to us chunkier gals.

1. Wrap Dresses

Wrap Dresses are your saviour for any occasion, whether that be a date night, a day in the beer garden or a lunch with the family. They sweep across your stomach drawing attention to the smallest part of your waist, which is very flattering! I like to style them with some bold tassel earrings and heels for a sleek evening look.

2. T-shirt dresses

These are perfect for a more casual day. I like to style them with a pair of trainers and an oversized denim jacket for the perfect chilled vibe. T-shirt dresses are a saviour for when it’s really hot out, as they don’t cling to the body and flow over any lumps or bumps that you might feel conscious about.

3. Cycling Shorts

Ok, so I know this is a bit out there, and will be out of most people’s comfort zones! But cycling shorts are a cute way of solving the age-old issue of chub rub! Styled with a really oversized t-shirt, trainers and a big old pair of sunnies they look super edgy and cool. My legs are my biggest gripe when it comes to deciding what to wear, but fuck it! Cycling shorts are a cool trend that even us chunky gals can look hot in (just look at these amazing plus models rocking them!)

I’ll end this post by saying that everyone is beautiful, no matter if you are big or small, slim or a little bit chunky. I am a firm believer that you shouldn’t be restricted in what you wear because of your size, wear whatever the fuck you want and feel confident in doing so! Get those legs out girl.
