Fashion Article: Spring Must Haves for Plus Sized Women

Although the effects of winter are still here and spring is still several weeks away, that doesn’t mean that you can start revamping your wardrobe for the upcoming warmer weather. When spring arrives, it is finally time to ditch the cumbersome sweaters, coats, and scarves for lighter and brighter wares. So if you are ready to get those drab colors and heavy garments out of your closet, make sure fill your wardrobe with the following Spring 2012 fashion trends:

Cardigans
Cardigans are great for making the transition from colder to warmer temps while still providing ample cover. To give some of your office attire a great boost, be sure to pick out brightly colored cardigans that can be worn with a variety of outfits.

Vintage Jewelry
Bangles, a black diamond ring, a chunky costume necklace – all of these are great pieces of vintage jewelry that can spice up any outfit. While certain types of vintage jewelry can be a little steep in price or harder to find, great, inexpensive costume jewelry can easily be found online and in thrift stores and vintage clothing storefronts.

Pencil Skirts
While more flowy skirts tend to come in fashion in the spring, there is nothing wrong with a classic pencil skirt. They come in a wide variety of colors, the brighter the better for spring, are easy to dress up, and accentuate your curves in the all the right places. Put on great stockings and a pair of heels with a pencil skirt, and you’ll have a sexy, chic professional look that commands all the right attention.

Cropped Tops
There is no denying that the loose cropped top is in, and yes, even plus size women can wear them. They come in a variety of patterns and colors, making it easy to find one or a couple that best flatter your coloring, and require only a tank top or cami underneath to stay modest. Put one of these tops on with a great pair of skinny or boot cut jeans, and you are ready to go for a night out.

Peplum
That’s right, this 80s styled blazer is making a comeback, and there is a strong reason for it. The peplum blazer accentuates the plus size figure in all the right places, and just looks downright womanly. So if you are in the market for a new, lighter blazer this spring, skip the traditional and head for the peplum.

While some of us dread spring, because we know it will require us to stop hiding away in our sweaters and heavy coats, there are plenty of great pieces that compliment the curvier figure and can let us strut our stuff with confidence. Don’t let the warmer weather get you down, look for some of the aforementioned trending fashions, and be ready to enjoy a few extra days in the sun.
