Having modeled for years now, I’ve got a good idea of what looks good on my body and what doesn’t, and I’ve got a good idea of what clothes and products are actually going to look good on plus-sized bodies, not just say they’ll look good. If you want to capitalize on my years of insider knowledge, then check out this curated list of all of my favorites.
I’ve included the ‘fits I rock for the “off-duty model” look everyone loves; I’ve included pieces I wear for major events, and I’ve included some work-friendly clothes so you’ve got a range of items to choose from for all sorts of occasions.
Stun and Serve
My favorite thing about this dress is that it’s effortless, but it looks like you spent a million bucks and hours getting ready. The ankle-length fabric hangs just right on your body, clinging where it should and flowing everywhere else, and the sleeves are an absolute power move!
The Coziest Coat
You might be afraid of the teddy bear trend because you worry it makes you look too much like a teddy bear, but if you get the right jacket, you’re going to stun. And this is the right jacket. It’s warm, it’s cozy, it’s cute, and it fits well – like it’s actually designed for a plus-sized body.
My Favorite Sweater Skirt Is 22% Off
I’m obsessed with this sweater skirt an unhealthy amount. I pair it with, quite literally, everything in my closet. The brown color makes it a great base piece, and I just layer and add and bring in color when I feel whacky, and when I need to look professional, I pair it with a nice blouse and some flats, and I’m good to go.
A Cut Above
These bootcut jeans hit at just the right point on my legs, giving me the chance to create a fun, youthful outfit or to play around with shapes and heights in my shoe choices. They’re flexible and have some give to them, but the structure stays through every wear.
My Favorite Vest
I’ve been really enjoying this vest lately. It fits almost like a men’s oversized work shirt that’s had the sleeves cut off, which is fun because it adds a sort of masculine flair to an otherwise soft, feminine winter outfit. It’s great with jeans, but it would look fantastic with a skirt, too!
My Go-To Blouse
I wear this blouse literally all the time. It fits in all the right places and flows without being baggy, and because it’s sheer, I can play it safe with a white shell underneath, or I can go bold and layer my brightest top beneath.
Go-Go Retro
It feels absolutely impossible to find knee-high boots that actually fit plus-size calves, especially cute, high-quality boots, but these? They’re an absolute dream! The wide sizes fit beautifully, hugging the shape of my calf without being too tight or gappy, and they offer the perfect retro pop to my outfits.
A Little Wiggle Room
Getting the right wide calf boot is essential to creating your ideal wardrobe, and these wide-leg boots are some of my favorites. They’re a classic cut and shape, they look fantastic with just about everything, and they’re actually wildly comfortable to spend all day in.
My All-Time Favorite Blazer Is Almost Half Off!
The Blake long blazer from The Drop has got to be, hands down, my all-time favorite blazer. It’s not easy to nail a good, oversized, plus-size blazer that doesn’t make you look like you’re swimming in extra fabric. But this one? It fits just right and turns any outfit, even athleisure, into an instantly elevated look.
Save 5% and Look Like an Off-Duty Model
These joggers are what I reach for when I’m headed out for quick Sunday morning errands, but I still want to look like I made an effort. They’re super comfortable, but the structure and shape keep me looking like I’m not just wearing boring sweats. Again.
A Layerable Turtleneck That’s 14% Off
During colder months, I live in turtlenecks, and this is one of my favorites. It doesn’t fit too tightly on your neck, but it’s not baggy either – it has all the shape you’re looking for, helping to create an elegant, beautiful silhouette.
Save 43% on My Favorite Jeans
Jeans are awesome! Jeans are great! But they’re not always the most fashion-forward choice, which is why you’ve really got to hunt for the jeans that either stand out or work beautifully to blend in. These Levi’s are my favorite because they make a terrific base for all my favorite laidback, chill-girl outfits.
This Sweater Is a Classic and On Sale!
A few good, lightweight sweaters are a must in your wardrobe. They’re great for transitional seasons, but they’re also just generally a good idea for when you’ve got that interview you weren’t planning for or a business event you need to be a little dressed up to attend.
The Only Shorts I’ll Wear
I love styling these shorts; it’s just so fun! I wear a huge, oversized tee with them, I wear button-ups with them, I wear tank tops with them. I’ve even tucked a dress into them before. They’re versatile, they’re incredibly comfortable, and they’re Levi’s, so you know they’ll last forever.
It’s a Party
Or, at least, it will be if you’re wearing this dress. The dress has just enough structure to show off your figure but not so much structure that you get lost in it. It helps to accentuate all the best parts of your curves and is so fun for events.
Save 22% on Cozy Comfort
I’ll use any excuse to layer up with this cardigan. It’s just so comfortable and cozy – it’s warm without being too warm, and it’s fun and feels trendy while also feeling timeless, which is how you know it’s a piece you’ll keep forever.
My Levi’s Bomber Is 43% Off
This Levi’s bomber jacket has been in my closet for quite some time because you never know when you’re going to need something so classically Americana. It’s really best with jeans, but you can try something entirely new and pair this with anything in your wardrobe if you’re feeling adventurous.
Save 30% on This Gorgeous Sherpa Jacket
Sherpa is fun to style in the fall and winter (not a great move for the spring, though), and this Levi’s sherpa trucker jacket is one of the coolest ways to do that. It’s gonna keep you really, truly warm, but it’s also gonna keep you really, truly cool.
There’s a Coupon for My Favorite Winter Party Dress
Winter events require their very own outfits, and this velvet winter dress is one of my favorites to rock. You don’t have to worry about ruining your outfit with a heavy coat, because this dress keeps you warm and toasty and incredibly stylish.
Lean Into Leather
Vegan leather, of course. This fun mini dress hits around mid-thigh and is such a great base for layering and styling with all your favorite fun accessories, jackets, and your favorite pair of shoes. You can go classic and clean or bold and bright easily!
These Shells Are 14% Off and You’ll Be Glad You Snagged Them
You’re gonna wear them all the time, honestly! These shell tops are exactly what you need for layering for style, but they’re also just a practical choice for helping to cover up the bra that’s not quite the right color or avoiding showing too much cleavage at a fancy event.
This Tiered Dream Is Over Half Off
Tiers are a great way to add texture and movement to a dress, but they often have the effect of making plus-size folks look baggy and uninteresting. Luckily, this gorgeous, tiered dress stands out among the rest, keeping you looking fun and gorgeous thanks to the tiers.
15% Off an Anytime Dress
This fantastic sweater dress from The Drop isn’t just super stylish; it’s also super comfortable, giving you flexibility and also clinging to your curves for the most flattering shape possible. And the fun slit in the side keeps it feeling trendy and fresh.
Short and Sweet and 38% Off
I wear this skirt when I go clubbing because it looks good with anything. Honestly! You can pull on your favorite sneakers and tuck in an oversized shirt, and you’ve got a style that’s runway-ready as long as you’re wearing this pleather skirt.
This Dress Was Made for Picnicking
Or really any fun spring event. This dress just screams “meadows of flowers,” which is why you’ve got to wear it out in the wild, letting it get the sun it craves. It’s perfect for wearing with your favorite sandals and a fun rattan purse.
A Timeless Piece
This top is absolutely timeless and beautiful and belongs on a runway somewhere. When you pair it with soft, black leggings and a pair of black boat shoes, you’ve got an off-duty Audrey Hepburn style that’ll make you look like you should be wandering the streets of Paris.
My Favorite Layering Dress Is 38% Off
The best thing about slip dresses is that you can layer them so easily with pretty much anything in your closet, which is just what I do with this gorgeous dress from The Drop. I love adding a funky patterned mesh top over the top and some bright, fun boots.
Go Fish and Save 11%
This sweater feels like something straight from the Aran Islands, but it’s incredibly affordable and a lot more breathable than those hand-knit sweaters. This cable-knit fisherman sweater brings the style and also delivers the warmth and cozy feelings you’re looking for from your outerwear.
Grab Life by the Halter
This crocheted halter top dress is super trendy right now, but it’s going to feel trendy for years to come because this style keeps coming back around. It started in the 60s, it came back in the 90s, and now here it is again, which is why it’s such an absolute staple peice for your wardrobe.
This Sweater Makes a Statement
Sweaters are so fun to play around with, and the chunkier they are, the more you can do with them. This long, chunky, turtleneck sweater looks great with so many of your go-to bottoms and can easily be casual and cozy or upscale and elegant.
Big Savings on This Classic Dream
The reason I love this dress is because it gives the feeling of wearing an oversized button-up, but it has the shape that only comes with having a cinched waist and a gorgeous, structured neckline. It gives old-money elegance on a broke-girl budget, and it’s a huge win in my book.
This Classic Midi Is 17% Off
Midi skirts are so easy to style, and they’re so fun to wear. If you want an easy way to level up your everyday ‘fits, trade out your go-to bottoms for this midi skirt and play with the tucks of your tops. You get the comfort you’re craving but all the style you need.
Grab the 10% Coupon on These Plus-Size-Friendly Cargo Pants
You would think that any pair of cargo pants would be plus-size-friendly, but that’s, sadly, just not true. If you want a pair of cargos that embraces the street style everyone loves and actually fits your body properly, this pair is the best I’ve found!
I Wear These Leather Leggings All the Time, and They’re 10% Off!
There’s something about leather that instantly makes an outfit look cooler and chicer, and these faux leather leggings are one of my favorite ways to do that. I wear them with oversized band tees or with beautiful blouses to create an effortlessly funky look.
Play With Shapes
This ribbed top doesn’t just hug your curves and accentuate your features; it also gives your outfit a little bit of effortless glam, thanks to the funky, fun shoulders and neckline. You can style it with a pair of work pants, a pair of jeans, or your favorite skirt.
This Is the Look Everyone Loves
You’ve probably seen this top all over the internet lately – that’s because it’s so easy to style, and it makes you look like a model without any effort on your part. Pair it with your favorite jeans and a cute little purse, and you’ve got a runway-ready ‘fit.
This Blouse Is Over Half Off
I love every single thing about this blouse. Everything. The way it ruches and fits my chest, the way the sleeves add some excitement and fun, the way the layers sit. When I saw it, I knew it was an immediate must-have for me.
