Goodbye, summer; hello, autumn! As we prepare to enter the new season, it’s only right that we get our fashion in order, too. In this article, we’re showing you how to style plus size sweaters for fall!
From pumpkin patches and bulky boots to department-store decor and pre-Thanksgiving memes, the second equinox of the year is quickly approaching. It’s about that time to run to the closet and rummage through your clothes for your favorite gear. If you’re like some of us, we’re sure you’ve been (im)patiently waiting to pull out the best burgundy, yellow, or olive green fit for the occasion.
Shopping for fall attire can (sometimes) be a headache. Whether you’re trying to find knit fabrics that aren’t too snug or trendy ensembles that will keep you cute (yet cozy), many of us would rather hire someone to do it for us instead. However, dressing for the cooler months as a heavier person doesn’t always have to be an annoyance. It can actually be fun!
Gone are the days of hiding the belly behind the big, bland coats.
Let’s jazz up your wardrobe with a few tips.
5 Ideas on How to Style Plus Size Sweaters for Fall
Jean Overalls
Jean suspenders definitely give very cutesy, very demure. If you want to channel your inner sexy librarian, this is the perfect look for the fall. Whether you’re headed out to a festival with friends or strolling through the leafy trails of the city with bae, you could never go wrong with one. Wear a sweater of your choice underneath, pair it with some boots for extra pizzazz, and you’re good to go. Simple but sassy.
Statement Necklaces
Hit up your go-to jewelry outlet and ice yourself out… literally! You don’t have to go overboard. Contrary to popular belief, costume pieces can be just as much of an eye-catcher, especially on top of a solid-colored sweater. The bold neck accessory is the ultimate complement to a chilled look. Find some matching earrings, and watch how the beautiful bling makes you stand out in the crowd.
Knit Ruanas
The temperatures are dropping, and ruanas are in again! Throwing in a bright-colored ruana on top of your sweater is the ultimate way to set off your style of the day. Ruanas provide extra warmth and a chic flair to your outfit. Who wouldn’t want a scarf and shawl combined in one?
This additional layer of threads would specifically go well with a turtleneck sweater. Grab one with a plaid or multi-colored design for a little more sass.
Stylish Belts
Belts are a great way to swag up anything from a sweater to a plus size sweater dress! If you’re a voluptuous woman with a lot of hips, going the route of a belt with stretchy material may be your best bet. They not only create a sense of definition to your waistline but fanciness, too.
Investing in a belt with a stylish emblem on the front of it will take a normal piece of clothing to the next level. All you need is a fine pair of pumps now!
Leather Skirts
Who said you couldn’t rock skirts in the fall? Putting leather skirts with sweaters is an underrated fashion vibe. Let’s say the weather isn’t as cold in your area yet, it’s a comfortable balance for pleasant weather. You might be hot… but not literally! Look for some leather boots to finish the look and you’re done. This could be worn anywhere, for any event.
