It seems like yesterday when Sonakshi Sinha made her debut with Dabangg, way back in 2010. The actress has time and again proved that there’s much more to her than her stellar acting. Eight years later, here we are celebrating her awe-inspiring fashion sense on her 31st birthday.
If today I’m comfortable in my body, it’s because Sonakshi taught us to, “Be comfortable; be you. What’s most important is to understand what suits your body type and personality. Stick to that, and you can’t go wrong!”.
Here are 31 style tips for curvy girls, courtesy Sonakshi Sinha, for a better, comfortable and stylish year ahead.
1. Crop It Like It’s Hot!
Crop tops tend to look AMAZING on fuller-figured girls. Damn, right they do!
POPxo Recommends: Round Neck Crop Top (Rs 599) by Koovs.
2. Thigh’s The Limit
Knee-high or thigh-high footwear elongates the legs, adds a certain kind of sass, and they make for a far quirkier outfit too.
POPxo Recommends: Over The Knee Cowboy Boots (Rs 1,429) by Koovs.
3. Don’t Be Shy, My Honey
Wearing oversized clothes aimed at camouflaging your body can actually make you look bigger than you are. By embracing your curves, you’ll find that clothes are actually more flattering.
4. Less Is More
Going OTT with accessories isn’t always necessary to drive the attention away from the problem areas. Keep it simple, keep it real!
5. Go Big Or Go Home
Trying fun, bold, over-sized prints can work in your favour on so many levels.
6. The Only Accessory You Need
Wide belts can be your best styling friend. Make them your SOS accessory. They’re all you need.

A structured blazer can also hide a multitude of tailoring sins. Swipe right and see how it’s done!

When in doubt, choose a fit and flare or skater dress. They look good on any body type, don’t they?

9. Black Is The New Black
Add a dash of black (oops!) to feel good inside out. In the wise words of Poo, “Black makes me look thin and green makes you look fat”!
10. Feel Knotty!
Tying a jacket (or a full sleeved shirt) around the waist can be more than just a style statement, ladies.
11. Who Says You Can’t Wear Shorts?
Boyfriend shorts aka time for a booty call (no pun intended!). Get summer-ready effortlessly in loose-fitting short shorts.

Vertical prints can be your best friend!
13. Do You V?
Opt for V-necklines more often as they tend to give a slimmer appearance, overall.
14. I Layer You
Ah, layering, we meet again. It’s time to take winter out of layering. It’s a stylish and comfortable cheat for a great OOTD.
15. Jacket It Lock It!
