5 Wardrobe Essentials for Plus Size Women

A friend of mine came by my blog and she asked "What about the big girls?" So I have to admit that since I do not shop in the plus size department, I rarely include anything that is on sale or the latest trend for this category. Anyway, here are 5 wardrobe essentials for the Plus Size girls!


1. Boot Cut Jeans

Paige Premium Denim 'Lomita' Bootcut Stretch Jeans $209




Boot cut jeans are very flattering regardless of your body type. In particular, they look great on pear-shaped figures. Boot cut jeans are best worn with heeled shoes or platforms, and not with flat-soled shoes


Women's Plus Low Rise Boot-Cut - "The Diva" Rocker Jeans $10









2. Black Dress Pants

MICHAEL Michael Kors Woman Two-Pocket Stretch Grammercy Pant
$80


It's better to get a pair of pants that are tailored to fit your body, even if the cost winds up being a little higher. If you have a pair of black pants that are too baggy in the legs but perfect in the waist, don't throw them out! Bring them to your tailor for some alterations.


Black Sailor Pant $48









3. Little Black Dress

JS Collections One Shoulder Ottoman Knit Dress $230



Every woman - no matter what her size - should have a little black dress in her closet. Black is slimming, and it looks great on everyone. Find a dress that falls just an inch or two above your knees. If you have the confidence, go strapless and sleeveless!



Black Ruffle One-Shoulder Dress $58









4. Fitted Suit Jacket


Belted sateen jacket $50


A suit jacket that is not fitted to come in at the waist will make you look shapeless and mannish. When you buy a suit jacket, if it doesn't fit you the way you wish it did, bring it to a tailor for alterations.






Women's Plus Sateen Blazers $18









3. Three-Quarter Length Skirt


INC International Concepts® Woman Pleated Eyelet Skirt $50

If you are too self-conscious to rock a mini skirt at your current weight, that doesn't mean you have to settle for pants-only styles or floor-length skirts. Show some leg with a three-quarter length skirt.





Jones New York Signature Woman Pleated Printed Skirt $29
