Retire the caftan already.
Why hide womanly curves under a tent?
Rethinking your approach to fashion couldn’t happen at a better time: It seems that designers finally have realized that being fuller of figure doesn’t preclude being trendy.
Check out two of this season’s hottest trends–fur trim (faux or real) and gray–as worn by Just My Size model Christine Alt, size 16 (and sister of ex-supermodel Carol Alt). The cashmere coat by J. Mendel, with its luxe mink collar and cuffs, would be right at home on the set of a remake of “Doctor Zhivago.” And who couldn’t use a sleek, steel gray suit by Jil Sander?
Just because you wear a larger size doesn’t mean that you have to be stuck with dowdy duds.
This season’s finest fashion need not be the sole province of Kate Moss.
