Plus Size Clothing Trends Ethnic Style

One of the huge style trends for the Spring Summer season is tribal prints.
The spring fashion runways were a riot of color and prints, from warm earthy tones to ethnic to tribal. For example Oscar de la Renta had many traditional kente style fabrics in his designs, whilst Christian Lacroix added drama with beads and feathers.


Strong prints work well on a large curvy frame. The prints are often over sized and strong, and look best when worn as a simple shaped item of clothing, for example a tunic, or a shift dress.
Take a look below for some ideas.
