Plus-size women can wear white, too. Don't dull yourself down with dark colors when you can look light and summery. It's just a question of finding the right fit for lighter colored tops for a flattering effect.

  • Choose Wisely: Try this top from Missphit.com for a shapely solution to summer white. The smocking hits above the waist to define your bust, and then gets a bit looser over the tummy and upper hips. This top, with its metallic stripes and sweet buttons, would look great with a pair of jeans and flat leather sandals.

  • Hunt for the Right Shape: Look for tops with this neckline and details if you want to maximize your bust or minimize a problem tummy.

  • Keep It in Mind. . . V-necks and three-quarter length sleeves are an easy way to lighten up a summer top for a casual event that runs into the evening.
