Runway trends look great on supermodels, but what about the average woman who's a size 14? From wide-leg pants to boy blazers, plus-size supermodel Emme shows you how to celebrate your curves! "We're going to show you how to wear this for all different shapes," says Emme. "You think, 'Can I really wear this?' You definitely can!"
Can I Wear ... Boyfriend Jackets "I've been told I look like a football player at times because of my shoulders," says Jessica, who is afraid to try the baggy blazers she's seeing in magazines. "Being a curvy girl, I'm not sure I can wear it." Emme suggests pairing the jacket with feminine accents like a leopard print top and skinny jeans to create a look that is trendy and flattering. "We found something that works," Jessica raves. "I really like it!"
Can I Wear ... Wide Leg Pants "When I buy clothes I'm looking to hide my problem areas," says Ivette. "I've looked at wide leg pants and I just walk away because I'm short. I'm already wide down there, I don't know if I need more width!" Emme says this 5'3" mom can definitely wear these pants if she follows a few tricks. "I want you to try a really nice high-waisted [pant]," Emme suggests. "From the waistband, the width of the pant has to go in a straight line." Pair that with a high heel or a platform shoe, and Emme says even if you are short you won't look stocky. "You want to always have a nice long look."
Can I Wear ... Skinny Leggings "I'm afraid that my curvy type is not fit for leggings," says Jennifer. "They don't leave much to the imagination!" Emme says this style is most flattering when worn with tall boots and an over-sized sweater. The sweater should end at the spot on your legs where your hand reaches your thigh. Jennifer gives it a try and is an instant fan: "It's so comfortable!"
