Choosing A Plus Size Winter
Coat
Your winter coat is an investment , so you'll want to buy
something that you can wear again and again.
It's also good to choose outerwear in a colour that'll match
in with your existing outfits.
There are several styles that are particularly fashionable
at the moment - heavy velvets, duffle coats, military style and
cardigan coats.
A full figured woman is likely to look best in either the
military style coat with detail at the shoulders, the collar
and the buttons, or the soft style cardigan coat.
Your best fabrics are soft fabrics that hang well but don't
cling to you, so choosing thicker fabrics will not be
flattering!
This might mean trying on a few different coats to get the
feel of what works and doesn't work for you.
Choose something with a straight line to it - something like
an A-line or a cardigan style.
If there's any detail, it's best to be on the collar or
shoulder area, rather than the pockets (avoid these where
possible) or hemline.
Go for minimal patterns or plain fabrics as these will look
more slimming than big patterns.
So, if you love colour, style and patterns, the key to
jazzing this outfit up is accessories. A great idea is to add
fabulous scarves or pashminas, bold jewellery, necklaces - add
as much colour and extravagance as you dare!
Pretty Plus Size Rain
Coats
For wet weather, it's important to be able to keep dry -
either using an umbrella (do you have a
lightweight pretty one that you love to use?) or a rain
coat .
Try to avoid shapeless bulky jackets designed for men that
hide your shape. Instead, be bold and try
something a little longer that has a flowing shape to
it.
Team up with snazzy scarf and statement jewellery for a
knockout effect.
