Looking your best when it's cold can feel like a struggle, especially if you are larger and are worried that all those chunky layers of heavy knits are making you look bigger. While winter fashion can also be a lot of fun to choose, as there are so many great accessories like scarves, gloves and hats that you don't get to wear when it's hot, dressing in a way that is flattering and stylish can take some extra know-how at this time of year.

Here, we have some tips for winter style that will help you look sleeker and slimmer:
Use Body Shaping Underwear
A lot of people only consider body shaping underwear for special occasions where they want to achieve a certain silhouette in an evening dress. In truth though, it can be a great ally for everyday wear, and in winter it is even easier to make the most of it. You know it will all be covered up, so things like bra-straps showing aren't a concern as they can be with strappy summer tops and dresses.
One excellent thing to have for winter is a good pair of tummy control leggings. Wear these under your favourite knitted dresses to get a flatter stomach and a sleeker line, as well as keeping you warm.
Choose a Flattering Winter Coat
Your winter coat is one of the most important things to think about when it comes to having the look you want, as you'll be wearing it a lot of the time. Fitted styles are generally the most flattering, and a wool coat will give a slimmer look than padded down jackets while still giving you the warmth you need. When it comes to fastenings, a double-breasted coat is the most flattering in general, and if you want a coat with a belt, go for one with a buckle rather than one that ties up. The knot on tied coats adds bulk and creates a less flattering effect.
If you don't like fitted coats, another great choice is a loose faux fur coat. These are designed to look oversized and fit over anything, and also give you a luxury feel.
Accessorise
You can do a lot with accessories in the winter, and they can be a great way to enhance your outfits. Scarves are great for drawing attention to your face and neck and can also allow you to create a flattering cowl type neckline with any outfit. Belts can help you create an hourglass shape with sweater dresses as well as adding interest and detail to your look. Long, eye-catching earrings are another perfect way to highlight your face and hair.
You can also have fun shopping for gloves, hats and even sunglasses for winter, so accessories are a great way to treat yourself.
Looking and feeling great in winter is possible at any size. With these tips, you can create winter looks that you will feel confident wearing throughout the season.
