It’s a common misconception that plus size women have to spend winter wearing black. You might be scared of layering your clothes for fear of looking bigger or losing your natural silhouette. Winter is an opportunity to embrace fashion trends that prioritize both comfort and style. It’s important to remember that your dress size is just a number. Whatever size you are, fashion is universal.
I’m sharing a few of my favorite plus size winter outfits for women to give you inspiration to kick-off your winter looks.
Knitted jumper dresses are a winter staple that flatter every body shape. It’s a good idea to choose a dress that is a little oversized for added comfort. You can add a belt to pull in your silhouette and let you show off your curves. A turtleneck will keep you cosy and warm, while giving you the perfect opportunity to wear your statement jewellery. You can finish off your look with ankle or over-the-knee boots and a sleek ponytail to channel your inner Kardashian-Jenner.
If there’s one staple that you need in your winter closet, it’s a Sherpa jacket. It’ll keep you warm all winter look and can be layered over jeans and a t-shirt or a little black dress. You want to choose a colour that works with your closet and complements your skin tone. It’s the winter alternative to a denim jacket and can act as a transitional piece through to spring. Keep your outfit neutral to make the Sherpa jacket pop.
Silk dresses are a must-have for any special occasion during the winter months. If you’re not a fan of showing your legs, choose a long silk dress instead to give you the same look. You can keep your silk dress more casual by choosing loafers, which are perfect for all day events where you’ll be on your feet. If silk isn’t your go-to, you can experiment with velvet instead.
There is nothing more classic than a midi-dress and heels. Don’t shy away from wearing a printed dress in your favourite colour. Winter is the perfect time to experiment with bold colors and make a statement with your look. Whether you’re going to a winter wedding or dinner with your partner, a printed midi dress is an on-trend staple. You can pair your dress with court heels that you can wear to dance the night away.
Meet your new go-to winter weekend look. Everyone loves a classic jeans and white shirt moment. You can give this timeless look a winter twist by adding a statement coat. You want to choose one with a bold color or print that will help you stand out from the crowd. Plaid and tartan are signature prints for winter, but don’t be afraid to experiment with a jewel tone to elevate your look. You can finish off your outfit with ankle boots.
