Plus Size Clothing – Trends For Fall 2010

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:02:31 +0000

So let’s continue taking a look at plus size clothing and fashion trends for Fall this year. Yesterday we looked at animal print, today we are looking at another bold trend, but one that has a real feminine touch and more than a nod to the 1950s and 1960s. Many designers went retro on the catwalks, and the ‘look’ was definitely “mad Men’ inspired, if you’ve seen the TV show, you’ll know exactly what I mean. But ‘How can a plus size woman pull off that look?’ I hear you cry! Well, it’s all about dressing your curves in a way that accentuates but also flatters, and you know that you own some great plus size clothing that does that, right? Think pencil skirts, fitted jackets, scoop neck blouses, and team with cute retro style handbags and silk scarves tied at the neck, maybe even add a pair of leather or suede gloves.

Nothing looks more sophisticated and glamorous than a woman who really knows how to pull an outfit together. I know I have mentioned before about building a basic wardrobe but it really is the way to go, and you can keep up with new trends by adding accessories. So take your basic pieces, a fitted jacket, and a pencil skirt, or a fuller skirt. Nip the jacket in at the waist with a skinny belt, add gloves and kitten heels and away you go. Or take one Marilyn Convertible ruched dress from MonifC, or a similar style cocktail dress, add cute vintage style jewelry and Joan Holloway eat your heart out!

You don’t have to totally copy the look, just by adding certain pieces which give a nod to the trend, you can update your wardrobe. So dig out your cutsie cardigans and sweaters, add skinny belts, raid the vintage shops for handbags and silk scarves, and grab your kitten heels. Bring some fun to your look this Fall.

Plus Size Fashion – Trends For Fall 2010

Many of us are still wearing sandals and tshirts but it is time to look ahead to plus size fashion and trends for Fall 2010. Of course these styles and trends relate to all women’s fashion and do not only reflect plus size fashion.

Today, I’m going to take a look at Animal Prints. Designers have followed their animal instincts this season, and animal print in it’s various colors and patterns was out in force on the catwalks. Gucci, Just Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana and used animal print designs for dresses, jackets, tops and accessories.

Surprisingly, animal prints are really easy to wear even if you usually shy away from loud colors and prints. You don’t have to go the whole way by wearing a fake fur leopard print coat or dress, instead introduce the print into your outfit by wearing a scarf, or animal print shoes, or make a statement with a bold clutch or handbag. Of course if you want to embrace the look full on, I have found some great tops and dresses available in plus sizes. So why not take a walk on the wild side this Fall!

Women’s Plus Size Work Suits

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:26:25 +0000

If your place of work requires you to dress more formally, and you really want to make an impression you can’t go wrong by investing in a good suit. However, trying to find women’s plus size work suits, is not always easy. Whether you are looking for women’s size plus pant suits, or want more of a mix and match work wardrobe, which includes a jacket, trousers and a skirt, then Avenue.com and Plus Size Suits from Jessica London and Old Navy – Women’s Wear to Work are three online stores worth starting your search on. Look for single breasted jackets, either nipped at the waist or with a looser fit, wide leg pants look good with flats or heels, and a pencil skirt always looks smart, choose one that falls on, or just below your knee.

For around $100 you can get women’s plus size work suits including a jacket, skirt and pair of pants to use as your basic work wear wardrobe. Choose black or charcoal grey items and then ring the changes with tops and accessories in different colors. If you have read more of my blog you will know that I am a big fan of accessories and use them often to change the look of an outfit. Invest in cheap silky scarfs in a variety of colors, a few chunky necklaces and chunky bangles add a splash of color, instead of a briefcase buy a couple of roomy totes, one black and one in a color which complements your other accessories. Depending on your work place dress code you can go for muted tones or show off your personality with brighter colors. The main thing to remember is, if you want to be taken seriously, dress smart not flashy.

Plus Size Evening Gowns – Inspired by the Emmys

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:24:14 +0000

In honor of the lovely Amber Riley, Mercedes from Glee, whom looked fabulous in a beautiful white grecian gown at the Emmy’s this Sunday, I have chosen a couple of similar plus size evening gowns to show you. Both of these fabulous frocks are available in a large variety of colors, including white. White is not just for wedding dresses, team it with metallic accessories in gold, silver, pewter or bronze for a really cool look. PromGirl stock some beautiful plus size evening gowns, suitable for Prom, military balls, weddings and other formal functions.

White looks great on darker skins, but if you feel that you need something more flattering for paler skin, go for a soft neutral shades such as taupe, peach, dusky rose or cream. Neutral shades have been at the forefront of fashion in the Spring and Summer this year, and ‘nude’ colors look set to be around all Fall and Winter too.

Plus Size Clothing Looks For Fall

SWAK Designs have recently released a preview of their plus size clothing range for Fall 2010. Fabulous colors, prints and styles. My personal favorite is the Victoria dress, I think I will be able to dress it up and down, for work and for play. Apparently it will also be available in red/grey/black and teal/brown too, gorgeous colors for Fall/Winter. The Dynasty black dress is smoking hot sexy, perfect to see you through dinner dates, drinks with the girls and maybe even team it with knee boots and a bright jacket or wrap, when you want to dress up no matter what the weather.

Swak Designs really know their stuff when it comes to designing plus size clothing for women who want to look stylish and sophisticated whilst also feeling comfortable and confident. Want to see more of the Fall range then check out the YouTube video below.

Plus Size Jeans

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:10:06 +0000

Every woman needs at least one pair of well fitting jeans, preferably a pair that can take you from day to evening by just adding a dressy top and heels. Levi’s make some great plus size jeans that help to shape and flatter your figure. If you want a pair of jeans, that can be worn at the weekend as well as on a night out, then I would say go for black or dark blue wash. Wear them casual with flats, a sweater and skinny scarf, or dress them up with heels and a glamorous top.

Perfectly Shaping Boot 512™ Jean
This pair of jeans shapes and smoothes your curves while flattening your tummy with a hidden panel. Its higher-cut waistband with a deep V seam at the back, means these plus size jeans fit without gapping, whilst the boot-cut lengthens your silhouette. The denim is pretty stretchy, but if your pear-shaped, you might want to order a size up.

Defined Waist Boot Cut 580™ Jeans (Plus) – Sky
Levi’s have introduced this brand-new fit for women with a defined waist and curves through the hip, seat and thigh. It has a mid-rise contoured waistband which sits below the waist, following your shape to prevent gapping. These women’s size plus jeans widen below the knee into leg-lengthening boot-cut. I own a pair of these jeans myself and the fit is perfect, I’m a size 20S, and they are really comfortable but don’t stretch too much and so don’t go baggy around my waist and hips.

Fuller Waist Boot cut 590™ Jeans (Plus) – Blue Wave
Another brand-new fit for women with a fuller waist and narrower hip, seat and thigh. Perfect if you have an apple shaped body. The mid-rise waistband sits below the waist, following your shape, and fits just right through hip and thigh. Widens below the knee into leg-lengthening boot-cut. Reviewers of these jeans suggest ordering a size smaller that you normally wear, so I would recommend checking the measurements on the Size Chart before you order.

Plus Size Wear To Work

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:14:07 +0000

So what does a woman who is plus size, wear to work? Well here are some great value and good quality pieces to create your basic work outfit. You don’t have to wear a suit for work necessarily, by having a pair of pants, a skirt and a vest in either black or gray, you can use these as your capsule plus size work wear wardrobe. Just add a classic white shirt, a white v neck tee shirt, and maybe a white tank top. Of course you can also choose plus size tops of different colors if you prefer, but you can’t go wrong with a crisp white shirt. You will look professional, business like and sophisticated too.

We all like to think that how we look and what we wear doesn’t make a difference to whether we are chosen for a job or promotion, however, we have all heard the saying ‘Dress For Success’ With one out of ten people now unemployed in the US, what better time to make the most of your assets and show case what you are made of.

Take a look at what other plus size women are wearing in the workplace, browse through some magazines relevant to your industry, check out what presenters and reporters are wearing on TV, and keep checking back here for plus size work wear ideas!

Nobody is saying that you can’t show off your own individual style, as you know I love my accessories, and you can make a real fashion statement at work just by adding a wide stretch belt, a colorful fabric corsage, a chunky necklace, or a bright scarf or pashmina. These pieces are the icing on your corporate clothes cake!

The women’s size plus work clothes shown here are also perfect as interview outfits. So if you are looking for plus size clothes for a job interview you have coming up or want to makeover your work wear wardrobe, then take a look at Sealed with a Kiss Designs SWAK as they are fondly known, have recently extended their plus size clothing range, and also have a good selection of jewelry and other accessories.
