It’s a curvy girl summer, yall.

It’s taken me a minute to feel comfortable in my skin and one way I execute that is by throwing a fit. A fit that fits me in the best ways and flatters all of me. Lizzo helped me love the body I am in instead of trying to be what society deems acceptable. Our bodies do so much for us and we take it for granted. My way of honoring that is by getting so fly.

In a day and age where curves rule all, it only makes sense to keep everyone from the slim goodies to the curvy cuties looking fashionable each season. Whether your curves resemble Beyonce or Jasmine Sullivan, now is the time to extenuate that hot body and not hide it. Know your best assets and flaunt them with pride, honey.

Here’s some expanded inspo for this summer:

It’s absolutely the time to throw on a fly jersey. With the Knicks making history in 5 and the FIFA World Cup games, this season is ideal for a sporty chic vibe. Pair it with a denim romper or playsuit for a look that is both comfortable and chic. Some of our faves like @NotoriousKia have even given us cool ways to style the classic jersey.

Layering Is Good

Try throwing one of your favorite sets over a pair of barrel jeans for the ultimate remix. You can also layer a printed peasant top over ripped denim skinnies for a bohemian spring or cool summer night vibe.

Make A Statement

Whether it’s a pair of denim covered in teddy bears or a dress with geometric patterning, it’s time to make a statement. Geometric patterns can be incredibly slimming and flattering on any curve, making them perfect for that 5-star all-inclusive restaurant or resort you’ve been eyeing.

Remember when the girlies would wrap a scarf as the top in the early 90s-2000s sitcoms? Bring that energy into this summer with high-waist pants or even high-waist bikinis that offer support while showing off what you were blessed with.

I will always go for a matching set because they require little to no thought and can be remixed in so many ways. From apple and pear to Coke bottle shapes, there is a perfect set or look for every curvy body type this season.
