11 Plus Size Women On Their Best Fashion Purchase Of 2019

-

 


When fellow ask me the best way to find style inspiration or cute clothes, I always say social media. Following stylish plus size women on Instagram has been key to my own personal style journey and has led me to more unique pieces (and confidence) than anything else. I fill my feed with plus size bloggers and influencers, but also pretty much anyone who posts their outfits regularly and happens to be over a size 10 or 12. Despite all its frustrations (insert angry rant about the algorithm here), has been a godsend for plus size fashion lovers in this way. It is a place that has provided community and an inspiration to those who don’t often see bodies that look like theirs reflected in advertisements, magazines, or television.

When I’m wondering what to buy, I go to the plus size fashion community. That’s why I decided to ask a handful of plus size women what the best pieces of clothing they’ve purchased so far in 2019 have been. There were a few surprises, a few brands that kept being mentioned again and again, and a lot of items that I’ve now added to my to-buy list. If you’re plus size and wondering what pieces to invest in right now, here’s some inspiration from 11 women who have found pieces they just can’t live without.

  There truly is a place for a button down in every person’s closet ( these must have wardrobe pieces from last year still check for me ) – doesn’t matter what your personal style is. And I think I’ve found THE best button down that you need to add to your closet. Let’s talk about it, shall we? The Best Button Down Shirt Why do I think this is the best button down shirt? The main reason is its versatility. I’ve never been a big fan of slim fit shirts – it’s a personal preference because I genuinely HATE when shirts with sleeves are too close to my body (I have sensory processing disorder). So I typically lean into buying the most oversized pieces. But when it comes to the best one?  This one is it . It’s the perfect in between shirt. It’s the perfect amount of oversized, but not overly boxy. It makes for the perfect shirt. How To Style A Button Down Shirt I meant it when I said this button down was so versatile. I own two solids and a stripe, and I’ve worn all three more times...

  I’ve been dying to write this post because I just LOVE this shirt so damn much. When it comes to an oversized shirt, this is the one you’re going to have to buy for your closet. It’s really hard to overestimate the power of an oversized shirt. It’s truly perfect and checks all of my “pieces need to be this” boxes: comfortable, versatile, and stylish. I love that oversized shapes are trending right now. I’m ready to shed the heavy layers (not really, but at least a heavy coat), and I’ve been gravitating towards all of my button downs. From work to weekend, I’ve come up with a ton of ideas for how to wear the oversized shirt. The Perfect Oversized Shirt If you follow me on you’ve probably seen me talk about the J.Crew Etienne oversized shirt…A LOT. Like A LOT. I love this shirt for so many different reasons.
