7 Plus Size Workwear Items to Update Your Office Wardrobe!
The Updated LBD (Little Black Dress)
For the fashion lovers that wear black every chance they get, the versatile little black dress needs to be in your closet. There are many options that can create the perfect silhouette. Consider adding a pop of color with your shoes for a spring-ready look, or embrace the summer heat by opting for sandals.
The Unique Blazer:
When you’re not sure what to wear with those ankle pants, try a longline blazer or jacket to elongate those legs. As an added bonus, it will protect you from those shivering office conditions. If you want to spice things up, switch it up and brighten your look with a patterned blazer, which is perfect for spring!
Fun Silhouettes:
Peplum silhouettes may be out, but there are still plenty of ways to spice up the fit of your top! Consider opting for a style you may not immediately go for. Plus size workwear doesn’t have to be stuffy and uncomfortable. Reach for something that has some flair.
Playful Prints:
For those who have the privilege of a lax boss that allows a business casual atmosphere, spice up your look by adding prints to your workwear. The options are limitless and it’s a great way to add your personal style to your business style.
The Updated Pant:
High waist pants will totally be in fashion this spring! Pep up even the most boring work suit ultimate with a high waist pant in a fun print. Or take it taped and sleek with these on trend, mixed fabric pants!
The Modern Tote/Briefcase:
Large Tote Bag from Marc Jacobs
Old-fashioned, manly-looking briefcases are obviously not an option. However, you shouldn’t be pinned to a just a regular handbag either. You need something to carry your supplies! Show up to your office with a ladylike leather tote and you’ll be turning all heads!
The Stylish Flat:
Your clothing items are important, but you can’t forget comfortable, but appropriate shoes. Achieve style and comfort with fashionable flats and put aside those pesky heels. You can also stick to classics and rock the loafer, perfect for wide leg pants.
