QuestionWhat is the most flattering dress style for plus-sized people?This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerPlus size people come in many different shapes, so it depends on your figure. For example, if you have a classic hourglass shape (curvy at the chest and hips, narrower at the waist), A-line dresses with cinched waists and flaring skirts are a good bet. If you have a more pear-shaped figure, an empire waist dress might be a better option. For apple-shaped figures, wrap dresses or bias cut dresses are flattering choices.

QuestionWhat haircut makes you look younger?This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerHaircuts with soft edges, long layers, or waves can add an appearance of youth and movement. Many older women prefer short cuts because hair framing the face can draw the eye and “perk up” their facial features. Older men can add youthful-looking volume by brushing their hair back and blow-drying it, or disguise a receding hairline with short, tousled bangs.
