The Updated LBD (Little Black Dress)The Relaxed Cardigan:Skirting By:The Updated Pant:Playful Prints:The Chic Suit:The Stylish Flats:

Welcome to the new year… You may find yourself headed back to the office or having to be on Zoom a bit more, but if you find yourself pining for new plus size workwear, where do you go and how do you begin updating? A few of you were chatting about this on Twitter and as promised, we are here to talk about a few workwear updates that will keep you poised, polished, and professional in the office.

Have you noticed that you wearing the same thing you had on last week? You know the tried and true #OOTD. Don’t feel bad, we completely understand the struggle of getting dressed for work in the morning. Standing in the abyss called a closet in your underwear, wondering why didn’t you get that black maxi that went with everything.

But then you go online searching and you are left uninspired, questioning why the fashion folk would subject you to garish prints, random bedazzling or worse? Extremely boring or matronly options.

First off, you must realize that you’re not alone! Fun, functional, chic, and classic plus size workwear does exist and we are here to help you dress for the part you deserve. We all have goals of looking effortlessly office chic while responding to emails and running across town to meetings. We just need to update a few essential items, including a great plus size suit, in our closet to achieve this!

And today we share 7 essential plus size workwear options to update your look, right now! You ready?

 7 Plus Size Workwear Items to Update Your Office Look Right Now!

Well, since more than a few of you asked about plus size workwear options, what to wear, and where to get it, AND since we are on the cusp of spring and the newness is arriving, we thought to help you out!

The Updated LBD (Little Black Dress)

Plus size workwear- All At Once Wrap Skater Midi Dress - Black
All At Once Wrap Skater Midi Dress at Rebdolls.com

If you are a fan of black and white and a great wrap dress, this is a great option. You can pair your LBD with the Pantone Color, Viva Magenta, a bold print, or metallic in your shoes for spring.

plus size workwear- RIBBED KNIT DRESS

The fun thing about an LBD is the ability to accessorize endlessly… Here, you can add or switch belts and throw on some cute heels for a chic desk to dinner option!

The Relaxed Cardigan:

Plus Size Workwear- Martine Cable Knit Maxi Cardigan

Not sure what to wear with those *really cute* ankle pants? Try a longline cardigan to elongate those legs and protect you from those shivering office conditions OR switch it up and brighten your look with a floor length cardigan- perfect for spring and for early fall.

Plus size workwear- Throw On Duster

In this case, you can also created a more relaxed suiting option, by pairing your cardigan with a matching skirt!

Skirting By:

JIBRI LIFE SKIRT SUIT

Sometimes, a great skirt suit can do all the work in your closet. In the same vein that a pantsuit can be worn three ways, so can your skirt! Especially if your skirt is versatile enough to be paired with other items in your closet.

With that in mind, we will always appreciate a great midi length skirt. A midi skirt can be professional for work and sensual for play, with an intentional change of accessories and your top.

The Updated Pant:

COMFORT FLEX WAISTBAND TROUSER BOOT STUDIO LUXE WOVEN HIGH-RISE PANT
COMFORT FLEX WAISTBAND TROUSER BOOT STUDIO LUXE WOVEN HIGH-RISE PANT at Torrid.com

High waist, cropped, and wide leg pants will definitely be a few silhouettes that you will find in pants this year! Pep up even the most boring work suit ultimate with a high waist pant in a fun hue.

Merit Flat Front Pants

Or take it tapered and sleek with these on playful plaids or bold hues. Who says that you off-duty clothes get to have all the fun?

Playful Prints:

Now, not everyone is a fan of prints. Prints can be extremely personal!

BUT if done correctly, prints can be a timeless way to add a bit of flavor and personality to your wardrobe. If your job allows a business casual atmosphere, spice up your outfit by adding bold prints to your office look.

BOMBSHELL BOOT STUDIO LUXE PONTE HIGH-RISE PANT

The options are limitless and it’s a great way to add your personal style to your business style.

The Chic Suit:

Suiting can immediately be seen as so boring, but thanks to the various plus size brands and designers, we have a few fun ways to add color, style, and even throw in a bit of luxury into our plus size workwear collection…

If you decide to invest in a great suit and if your funds are limited, make sure to get a neutral hue and shop from a brand that brings in seasonal silhouettes, but keeps the color or fabrication similar. Think Henning, Pari Passu, and even Eloquii.

All Day Blazer
