Style isn’t just about clothes; it’s about confidence, self-expression, and putting your best foot forward. Whether you’re dressing to conquer the boardroom or the brunch table, the right look can change everything and we are here with a few expert plus size styling tips to help you own 2025, stylishly!
New Year, More YOU! That’s the vibe for 2025, babes. It’s time to leave behind anything that doesn’t scream fabulous and bring out your inner fashionista. Designer Tracy Christian of Sante Grace knows a thing or ten about curating a wardrobe that’s equal parts chic and functional. Here are her cheeky and oh-so-sassy tips to get your closet—and your style—together this year.
New Year, MORE YOU: Plus Size Styling Tips for a Fashionable 2025
1. Start with a Purge Party
“Babes—promise yourself you’ll shop smarter and buy better. Toss anything that doesn’t fit, is stained, or doesn’t spark joy. If it doesn’t make you feel like a goddess, it’s got to go!” Tracy insists. But don’t let this task drag on—set a 24-hour rule. Anything leaving your closet has to be donated, discarded, or repurposed within a day. No excuses!
2. Invest in Matching Hangers
“Uniform hangers are a game-changer,” Tracy says. “They’ll make your closet look like it belongs in a fashion magazine and help you feel well-groomed and organized.” Plus, it’s an easy win for an instant chic upgrade.
3. The Power of Good Foundation
“A well-fitted bra, panties, and shapewear can change your life,” Tracy advises. “Are your boobs in the right place? Do you have panty lines? Remember, undergarments lose their shape, so toss them when they’re past their prime.”
4. Create a Capsule Collection
“Timeless staples are your besties,” says Tracy. “Think tailored blazers, jeans that fit exceptionally well, and a classic black dress. Don’t know where to start? Many boutiques and stores, like Macy’s, offer free plus size styling services to help build your capsule wardrobe.”
5. Tailor, Tailor, Tailor
“Don’t settle for clothes that almost fit,” Tracy warns. “A nip and tuck at the tailor can turn a bargain into couture. At Sante Grace, we offer tailoring for $35—it’s worth it to get the best fit from your investment.”
6. Mirror Check Moment
“A full-length mirror is your bestie for honest feedback,” Tracy emphasizes. “You need it to answer life’s big questions, like, ‘Is this outfit everything?’ Spoiler alert: It should be.”
7. DIY Closet ‘Boutique’
“Bins and dividers can transform your closet into your personal showroom,” Tracy says. “Next time someone asks what you want as a gift, say gift cards to Ikea or The Container Store!”
8. Create ‘Go-To’ Outfits
“Dedicate a section of your closet to looks you can grab in a rush,” Tracy advises. “Effortless style starts with those no-fail outfits. My go-tos? A black suit with a sheer pussy bow blouse or Collette, our little black dress/tunic.”
9. Double Duty Pieces
“Look for items that multitask,” Tracy suggests. “Take Lolita—I wear it as a blazer, but I’ve seen it styled as lingerie, a cover-up, or a mini dress. Versatility is key!”
10. Celebrate YOU
“Inject whimsy and color into your wardrobe,” Tracy encourages. “Style is all about self-expression. Wear what makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, and ready to conquer the world.”
