Top 10 comfortable shoes for plus size

When your skin rubs together, whether it’s your thighs during walking or running, or your arms alongside your body (or your nipples if you’re a runner) &#8211; this can cause repetitive friction. This friction irritates the skin and is the cause of chafing, a painful rash that can be sometimes be very sore, swollen, bleeding or crusted in severe cases.
Thigh chafing is a very common form of this irritating skin problem and is as likely to occur in professional athletes with low body fat %  as in those who are obese.
That’s because thigh chafing is caused by skin rubbing on skin, not by body fat. If you are 100lbs but have narrow hips and bone structure, then you may still suffer from thigh chafing because of your natural build.
Likewise, if you’re a bodybuilder with large quads and a muscular frame, you’ll probably suffer from thigh chafing thanks to your legs being closer together due to your muscle mass. 
If you have large thighs due to body fat, then this will most likely also cause you to suffer from thigh chafing &#8211; but the answer is not simply ‘lose weight’ as you wouldn’t tell a body builder just to ‘lose muscle’.
So before you get all hard on yourself over your mermaid thighs, realise that this; anyone, no matter their shape and size can get thigh chafing and if you ask most people around you &#8211; they’ve probably all had it at one point.
Don’t feel ashamed of your thigh chafing, it’s your body’s natural reaction to friction. But luckily there are various ways to manage this inconvenient and annoying problem!

What is Thigh Chafing?

They say prevention is better than the cure, and with thigh chafing that’s actually very true. If you can prevent thigh chafing from happening then you’ll be a much happier bunny than trying to relieve your poor skin from the rash it leaves behind!
First things first, thigh chafing is especially painful when sweat is involved. That’s because your sweat contains natural salts, which aggravate the area when the sweat dries and cause that awful burning sensation and extra irritation. 
But before you take that as an excuse not to exercise &#8211; (lol &#8211; surely it wasn’t just us that thought this!) consider what you’re wearing when you become sweaty.
If you find you get thigh chafing from walking, running or other physical activity &#8211; consider wearing leggings or pants that are at least past the knee such as 3/4s  7/8s or full length.
This means you’ll have a protective layer of fabric in between the points where friction happens the most and is one of the easiest ways to prevent the painful irritation.
But what about when you’re wearing a nice summer dress or going swimming at the beach and spending all day in a costume?
It’s not practical to wear full leggings and you also don’t want to compromise on your style!
In order to prevent thigh chafing, you have to decrease the amount of friction to the skin between your thighs and there are a number of ways to do this:.

How to avoid Thigh Chafing

<h2>How To Stop Thigh Chafing</h2>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">1. Keep your inner thighs as dry as possible</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">2. Apply lubricants and balms to prevent friction</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">3. Wear moisture wicking clothing when exercising</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">4. Wear cycle shorts or anti-chafing underwear </li>
</ol>
As previously mentioned, wet skin can make chafing soooo much worse. So that’s why chafing happens when it’s summertime, as hot temperatures cause you to sweat and therefore cause salty burny friction. 
If you’ve been swimming, towel off the area where you’re most likely to get thigh chafing and keep it as dry as possible.
Staying dry if it’s hot and sweaty are basically near impossible though and sounds like dumb advice in the summer months.
So in these cases it’s important to lubricate the area, which will stop the friction from happening as your thighs gently glide over each other. 
Products such as vaseline, petroleum jelly or special anti-chafing balms can be miracle cures for chafing!
We can especially recommend this BB cream which basically stopped our chafing from happening.

The Ultimate Guide To Thigh Chafing And How To Stop It!

Thigh chafing is a problem that affects both women and men, whatever your size and shape might be! Here&#039;s our complete guide on thigh chafing and how to prevent it from happening so you can enjoy summer properly.

The hourglass body shape is defined as:
<ul>
<li>equally proportioned boobs and hips</li>
<li>full/large boobs</li>
<li>well defined slender waist</li>
<li>shapely legs</li>
</ul>

If you have a curvaceous hourglass figure,  you should dress in the way that will show off your figure! Don’t be shy babe, flaunt what your mamma gave ya!

What is an hourglass body shape?

Your great boobs are what give you a beautiful <a href="https://www.insyze.com/blog/workwear-style-for-the-hourglass-figure/">hourglass shape</a>, but although they’re fantastic most of the time – big boobs can be problematic when choosing certain tops. We’re looking at you, shirts. Those gaping holes between the buttons are less than ideal right!
Tap here for our<a href="https://www.insyze.com/blog/workwear-styles-for-the-hourglass-figure/"> guide on workwear for the hourglass shape.</a>
The best tops and blouses for your figure are fitted tops, or those made of stretchy materials that will hug your curves. Stiff or bulky fabrics should be avoided as they will tend to hang from the widest part (the bust) and will make you look larger than you are.
Necklines that will look fabulous on you include V necks or scooped necks as these will accentuate your bust. Wrap style tops (or dresses) are also are a perfect choice for you as they will have the desired neckline and the belt or waist tie falls at your defined waistline.

Bows, ruffles, frills and any other volume enhancing details are things to be avoided. As you are already perfectly proportioned these will only be a distraction, or, if placed on the empire line or neck, will make you look top-heavy.
A problem that many ‘hourglass’ women face is that their figure makes them look ‘too sexy’ attracting the kind of attention you’d rather avoid.
If this means you want to downplay your curves instead of flaunting them, then we have a great trick!
Vertical stripes are a great way of elongating your body and drawing the attention down and away from your bust area. In the same way, wearing dark colours on top will slim you down and give the effect of a smaller bust.
Tops and dresses with 3/4 length sleeves are also fabulous for your body shape as they show off your wrists and will draw attention to your gorgeous waist.

Tops for the hourglass shape

As with tops, you don&#8217;t want to be drowning your beautiful hourglass curves under frumpy fabrics. So, tailored styles are what suit you best! Any length coat will look great on you but you should try to stick to single-breasted styles as double breasted front coats will broaden you and make you look bigger than you actually are.
Jackets with belts, <a class="vglnk" title="Link added by VigLink" href="https://www.amazon.com/INVOLAND-Womens-Single-Breasted-Trench/dp/B0753J6VN7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1546996129&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=trench+coat+plus+size" rel="nofollow">trench coats</a> and short jackets that accentuate the waist are all styles that are very flattering on you.
Simplicity is key when it comes to choosing the right coat or jacket for the hourglass figure. Try to avoid accentuated shoulders, frill details and double-breasted buttons. Slender styles that show off your shape work well whilst bulky, overlarge types hide your frame and should, therefore, be avoided.
Here are some of our favorite styles for plus size hourglass babes:

Coats and Jackets For The Hourglass Shape

Feeling a bit fo a Kim K vibe today? With your hourglass figure, you can look even more gorgeous than the most famous Kardashian in body con and figure hugging styles.
Dresses with scoop or V necklines will emphasise the bust and draw attention down to your womanly curves. strapless or off-the-shoulder styles work well with your shape but avoid high-necklines.
Dresses which have a lot of embellishment, beading or large prints or patterns, can make hourglasses look larger than they actually are. Instead, pick dresses in solid colours.

<h3>Accessories</h3>
Believe it or not, the right accessories have the power to make you look slimmer.
Wearing a belt to the waist brings the eyes attention to the narrowest part of your physique, not only making you look slimmer but also accentuating your curves. Always a bonus.
However, you should be conscious of the size of the belt that you choose as if you have a short waist you may shorten your torso by wearing a thick belt. Thin belts work very well on the hourglass figure.
Avoid flat shoes. This may sound very impractical but your wide hips will automatically make your legs look short and stumpy which therefore makes it necessary to elongate your legs. Heels are perfect for this!

Dresses For The Hourglass Shape

<h2>Skirts For The Hourglass Shape</h2>
Streamlined is key when it comes to choosing the right skirt for an hourglass shape. Classic styles such as the a-line or pencil skirt are perfect for doing just that.
Choose draping fabrics with a bit of stretch that will hug your curves. Stiffer fabrics such as starched cotton and linen may widen the hips, making you look ‘boxy’.

<h2>Jeans and pants for the hourglass shape</h2>
Your curvy hips have the tendency to shorten the legs and can sometimes make you look stumpy with the wrong pants.
Skinny fit jeans are fabulous for your figure because they’ll show your curves off beautifully while giving you a slender silhouette. Pair them with some heels to add length to your legs and elongate those pins!
Mid to high rise jeans are best if you are an hourglass as these will lengthen your legs. Low rise jeans, which sit on the hips, are a no-no and should be avoided – but let’s be honest, unless you’re a Kate Moss or Kendall Jenner then low rise jeans aren’t anyone’s friend!
Try to pick jeans and/or trousers that do not have lots of embellishment and /or large pockets around the waist as they will draw the eye to the hips.

Skirts, Jeans and Pants for the Hourglass Shape

Hourglass babes suit solid colours and shapes really well. Heavily embellished clothes and big patterns can sometimes work against you, as depending on their placement they could make you look wider than you are.
The hourglass figure will look great in pretty much any style. These are only guidelines for ‘what not to wear’ if you have an hourglass body shape.  Have you got an an hourglass figure, tell us what you like to wear.

Plus Size Patterns

Have you got an hourglass figure? If the answer is yes then congratulations on having the most desired body shape in the western world!
Did you know that only 8.4% of women have an hourglass body shape? Yep, your sexy shape is not only extremely desirable from a ‘conventional beauty standard’ it is also one of the rarest.
Your hourglass curves are often quite easy to dress because many styles with stretch in the fabric suit your body shape. The only limitations you might find will  be down to your bust size, weight and back, as it can be easy for your curves to be drowned in shapeless tops, dresses and skirts.
With your body type, you’re in great company. Famous hourglass ladies include Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Marilyn Monroe, Kate Winslet and Mariah Carey. All bombshells! Just like you.
