Plus Size Tops and Blouses
This is the perfect time of year to fall in love with your plus size layered style. Pick and choose from so many fantastic layering options from slimming plus size tees to snuggly sweaters. Create a brand new look by combining a demure tunic with a (just a little racy lacy) cami peeking out from beneath the v-neck.
Watch for plus size sun and summer wear in heritage styles that will look season-fresh in any year. Swim fashions and cover-ups, hot weather activewear, plus size wardrobe elements that will work across seasons. Plus Size TopsKeep your torso profile and body in mind while selecting plus size blouses and tops. If you are larger in the bust and shoulders than in the waist and hips, your body type is Inverted Triangle. Choose darker color plus size blouses designed to draw the eye toward the waist instead of the shoulders. Avoid ruffles at the neck and shoulders.Plus Size ShirtsPlus size shirts should be cut and tailored with your plus size shape in mind. Look for armholes and sleeves cut with more room to move and stretch. Select a plus size shirt with soft darts at the waist to create shape and form fit. If your torso profile is larger in the waist and hips, choose collars that draw the eye up to the shoulders and neck.Let's Talk: Plus Size TopsLet's Talk To floral or not to floral? That is the question! Ladies... forget what you've heard about plus-size women not being able to wear pretty floral prints. We most certainly can wear fun and feminine florals! Floral tops and blouses are a fabulous choice year-round for plus-size women. The key to floral prints is all about the size of the bloom and the spacing of the flowers within the print. Wide spaced florals (also larger blooms) with lots of background color showing through look best. The same applies to floral dresses. Don't shy away from those pretty florals, but do keep an eye on the background and the size of the bloom. That's the trick in wearing florals. If you have always kept away from floral prints completely, give it a whirl!
