Weekend Glam! 8 Stylish Outfit Ideas For The Plus-Size Woman
Your weekend can automatically become a lot more stylish and it starts by not reaching out for those overworn sweatpants and a loose tee. We have to assume that you have plans
this weekend and it doesn’t matter whether these plans are quick errands or short dates, what’s important is that you are stylish at every turn.
As a plus-size fashion lover, it’s sometimes hard to see the style choices you have. The weekend should be a time when you take some risk and showcase your personal style in all its glory as there are no office dress codes to worry about. The plus-size fashion industry is moving in a positive direction and so should you! They’re more stylish options than ever for full-figured ladies but there’s still a lot left to be desired in the realm of plus-size fashion, which is why we thought we’d help with a roundup of eight super stylish outfit ideas we’ve come across as of late.
Check out these 8 super stylish plus size outfit ideas to slay this weekend…
#1. A black ensemble
Whether you choose the famed little black dress, or you opt for a stylish blouse and skirt/pants, an all-balck ensemble is something to try this weekend. This is especially right if you have an engagement with semi-formal as the fashion code. You can add a pop of color to this look with a jacket, or accessories like shoes, bags, and scarves. Otherwise, dance to the shimmer drum like Kristine Thompson has rightly done below.
#2. Solid colors are your friend
An outfit comprising of solid colors is always going to be a hit with you. So, rather than drown in patterns and prints, stick to a look of bold and fearless colors as they help to play up your figure. However, that’s not to say you can’t win a patterned look, by all means no! This is just to enlighten you that single-tone will never do you wrong. Think neutrals, reds, blues, and like Rochelle Johnson, green.
#3. Incorporate color
No one likes a boring look, and colors are a great way to add some fun into your ensemble. Whether you choose a bright color watered down by a darker shade, or you pair two tones of bold colors — like white and red — together, the result can easily be thesame. The key to hitting this spot on is to use the brighter color to play up a certain part of your body while the darker tone plays down the other part. For example, an orange or yellow shkirt can be used to play up your hips, while a black blouse keeps your top subtle.
#4. Monochrome is a way of life
Monochrome surely makes the first page of the fashion rule-book. This is because they flatter every body shape and size. Whether you’re a size 8 or 16, tall or petite, an ensemble of hues of a single shade is a must-try, especially when you choose earth-tones. Begin by deciding the tone you want (for example, nude, beige, or grey), then incorporate pieces of the same color but a different shade into the look. Monochrome always commands a classy aura, and makes you stand out in a good way.
#5. Be bold and daring
As a plus sized woman, it’s easy to be tempted into hiding under layers of clothing. Maybe you think sexy isn’t something you can explore, or a daring outfit will look terrible on you, nothing can be farther from the truth. Your body is bold and beautiful and it’s only fitting to try out plus size outfit ideas that communicate this. Of course, we’re by no means suggesting to go out naked, but you can tastefully go sexy in daring outfits.
#6. Slay in denim X leather
Sometimes, denim seems to be the only outfit great for the weekend, especially when casual is the goal. Plus, they are stunning on any body size, however, the most important factor is to find the right fit. Right-fitting denim pants will sit comfortably without being too tight or too loose. If you can’t breathe in it, it’s too tight. On the other hand, if you seem to be swimming in it, it’s too loose. Once you get your right fit, pair it with a leather jacket for maximum slay!
#7. Fancy pants are welcome
Another way to incorporate an air of fun into your outfit is with fancy pant. These are pants that have something interesting going on with them like high-waisted drawstrings. It’s a good idea to get the pants in a neutral solid color like black, that way you can work it in different ways.
#8. Let your shoulders speak
There’s something delightfully sexy as about flanting your shoulders. If you’re still unesy about going all-out sexy (as adivised above), then test the waters with an off-the-shoulder outfit. This can either be a dress or a blouse. With the case of the latter, pair with neutral-toned buttoms to keep attention on your shoulders.
