<\/p>\nA PLUS-SIZE fashion influencer wants us to get back to the basics.<\/p>\n
A fan of re-wearing her items in a newly styled way, she shared her guidelines for making the most out of your wardrobe this season and dressing for your body.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Although her prowess in styling has always been an inherent part of her identity, Nikki Levario (@nikkiluuuu1) knows many women of her size don't know where to begin.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why she started sharing her advice on TikTok.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to make sure body types like mine were included in conversations about fashion,\u201d she told The U.S. Sun.<\/p>\n
\u201cFriends would always ask me for fashion advice, or where I shopped, and I feel like a lot of people just don\u2019t know how to dress for their bodies. That\u2019s where I come into play.\u201d<\/p>\n
Usually a size 20-22, she leans toward pieces that make her feel cute and confident, noting that she isn\u2019t a fan of trendy items that she'd likely throw out next season or ones that wouldn\u2019t flatter her body type.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to have to buy 20 different things next fall, so I buy things that are long-lasting and more timeless.\u201d<\/p>\n
When thinking about apple-picking afternoons and fireside get-togethers, she shared her must-haves for the fall.<\/p>\n
First up: plaid.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPlaid will always be in style, so you want to have your staple plaid piece.\u201d<\/p>\n Nikki said that could be a scarf, a skirt, or a top.<\/p>\n \u201cYou could pair those with anything else and you\u2019ll look good.\u201d<\/p>\n The Houston local said basics are also key for fall dressing.<\/p>\n \u201cYou want simple shirts in these three colors: white, nude, and black.\u201d<\/p>\n As a Texan, she opts for short sleeves since the temperature doesn't drop too low, but she said long sleeves will do the trick too.<\/p>\n Style the basic top with a cute jacket and a scarf, throw on a pair of booties and jeans and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n Sticking with versatile options, she said to buy black, nude, and olive-colored pants.<\/p>\n \u201cWhatever style pant you wear, buy it in those three colors because you can do so many things with that.<\/p>\n \u201cYou could wear any of those combinations ten times and it\u2019ll be a different look.\u201d<\/p>\n Nikki\u2019s next must-have is a well-fitting blazer.<\/p>\n As for her favorite hues? Camel or plaid.<\/p>\n \u201cYou could easily wear a camel blazer five different ways and it will look good every time.<\/p>\n \u201cCamel blazer, white shirt, jeans. Camel blazer, black shirt, black skirt. The list goes on.\u201d<\/p>\n Nikki revealed her five must-haves in the fall:<\/p>\n And finally, she said a good pair of boots goes a long way \u2014\u00a0but only if you know how to style them to flatter your figure.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you're wearing a short skirt, do not wear an ankle bootie because it will make your leg look way shorter than it really is.<\/p>\n \u201cYou want to wear a short skirt with a long boot just to give yourself some length.\u201d<\/p>\n Taller girls like herself can pull off another look she loves: a long dress with a tall boot.<\/p>\n \u201cThat looks really cute on me, but I\u2019m 5\u201910\u201d so it works. A shorter girl might want to wear a long dress or a long skirt with an ankle bootie instead.\u201d<\/p>\n With all things fashion, she said it\u2019s about accentuating the best parts of your body.<\/p>\n \u201cI love my legs, so any chance I get, I\u2019m highlighting them. Whether that be with a short dress or a slit in a long dress, they\u2019re on display.\u201d<\/p>\n As a mom, she has a permanent pooch \u2014 but she knows how to make it look good.<\/p>\n \u201cI like high-waisted anything because it cinches me. I never wear low-waisted.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd if it\u2019s a flowy dress or something, I just throw on a belt. That\u2019ll give me the illusion that I\u2019m an hourglass when I\u2019m really not.\u201d<\/p>\n Because she knows shopping can be overwhelming for those who don\u2019t know what they\u2019re looking for, she revealed the three things she considers before making any purchase.<\/p>\n \u201cKnow what your style is, know what your color is, and know what looks good on your body.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24514632-1698190665516.jpg\")
