The Curve Hugging Pencil Skirt

The Curve Hugging Pencil Skirt Some plus size ladies think that the best way to dress is to hide under their clothing with loose-fitting frocks and shapeless skirts. This couldn’t be further from the truth. But take note, ladies. The pencil skirt is an A+ part of the fashion curriculum. Fashion staples for plus size girls must be versatile, flattering and just a little bit sexy. And with the vintage vibe of the high-wasted pencil skirt from Mod Cloth, this is one of the fashion staples for plus size girls that you don’t want to ditch.

The Cropped Moto Jacket

The Cropped Moto Jacket Some curvy girls out there might be skeptical of the word “cropped” when it comes to plus size fashion, but this mixed media moto jacket from Michael Kors would be part of an ass kickin’ fall ensemble. The slightly cropped line and asymmetrical zipper gives the illusion of a smaller waist. If you’re looking for something a little lighter on your budget, look for any faux leather material moto jacket that you feel comfortable wearing. Pair it with a light and airy feminine top to add a classy element to this season’s nod to punk culture.

The Ultra Feminine Top

The Ultra Feminine Top If you’re looking for a too-cute feminine top, this over-the-top bowed tee from Mod Cloth can be perfectly paired with any cardigan, blazer or cropped jacket. Some plus size women feel awkward drawing attention to their clothing with any bows, frills or feminine embellishments, but take pride in your curvy self and wear something delightfully charming if the mood strikes you. Just don’t go head-to-toe cute, or your look will go from couture to cartoon.

Dark Wash Denim

Dark Wash Denim Whether straight leg, skinny fit or boot cut, every plus size girl needs a reliable pair of dark wash jeans in her closet. But if you’re looking to rock a pair of pumps or a cute pair of flats, these skinny dark wash jeans from Levi’s are both versatile and vintage-inspired. These Manic Fun-Day jeans are available through Mod Cloth. And they even have a bit of stretch for comfort, which we plus size gals know can make all the difference.

Wedge Booties

Wedge Booties If you’re looking for a sexy and sturdy pair of boots for the fall, wedges are the way to go. These edgy and feminine wedge booties from McQ, are on my wish list. At $740, the wish list is where they'll stay. Ya can't blame a plus size girl for dreaming, right? But if you're looking for a similar style for less, try Torrid.com for wide-widths booties up to size 13. Booties were made for walking, and if you’re a plus size girl looking to break a few hearts, that’s just what they’ll do. Just don't break the budget.

A Fitted Print Blazer

A Fitted Print Blazer Move over, plain old black blazers. The printed blazer is taking over, and this season there are a lot of patterns to choose from. While plus size girls might shy away from horizontal stripes, I’m advocating to throw out the rule book for this blazer from Fashion To Figure. The single button beneath the bust line will create a slimmer silhouette and the breathable cotton material has just the right amount of stretch. And don’t overlook that pop of color on the elbow patch. It’s little details like these that should convince the more-to-love ladies out there to try trends that the “rules” say we shouldn’t. But if you’re not entirely convinced, other plus size retailers are offering fitted blazers in polka dots, houndstooth and even bold colored solids.

A Fall Floral Dress

A Fall Floral Dress Floral print for fall? Yes, yes, yes! Think dark backgrounds with rich fall colors and stunning lines when looking for the perfect plus size floral dress for fall. For my personal recommendation, I’m loving this 50s inspired floral halter dress from Mod Cloth. The mums are fresh, with a flared material that is very flattering. Paired with stockings, a cardigan and even a decorative scarf, this Enchanted Afternoon dress is my plus-size pick for this season’s floral trend.

More and more retailers, both online and in-store, are offering the trends in sizes more accommodating to women with curves. The trick is knowing which trends work for your specific body type and personal style. But if you can collect the staple pieces to build upon, your wardrobe will flatter your every move. What plus size pieces do you recommend for the fall?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I've wondered the same question myself, Leilah. If you flip through magazines, or even catalogues featuring plus size fashions, very rarely are the models considered plus size when compared to the average woman. It's unfortunate that the fashion/modeling world sees plus size models wearing plus size clothing as some sort of taboo.

I don't understand, half the girls in the pictures were skinny, maybe a bit curvy. Is that what our society views as plus sized? Do I have to be underweight to be "healthy"? What happened to the times when having big boobs and hips was viewed as beautiful? As a young girl, growing up during this generation, a cannot tell you how many times I have started to get upset over the extra bit of fat on my stomach even though I know I'm on the lower side of healthy. No wonder so many girls have eying disorders.

* an extra "you" snuck in there. Whoops.

Plus size is NOT the same as curvy. Anyway. There shouldn't be so much focus on separate plus size whatever. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!! We should all celebrate together

I get that, Jackie. I also get the frustration, retailers don't cater for tall, slim women with breasts, hips and defined waists either. I have to go to great lengths to find anything more complicated than socks. Even pantyhosr is a

I love some of these styles... Especially the blazers.

Pantyhose is a problem. But that's not the point. I read the plus size tips because there may be translatable curvy tips, for example.

I don't even think anyone knows what a"average"is anymore. I like the idea of celebrating curves, plus size..any size! I'm older now and just tired of feeling like I don't "fit" sometimes!!

Oh I understand what you mean, Alletta. I think you it's frustrating because size is never universal. Sometimes it seems it's entirely subjective to a retailer or brand, which doesn't make it easy at all. And I guess this is especially the case when you're not an all over true size.

While I agree that all body types should be celebrated alike, Alletta, women who wear larger sizes many times have a more difficult time finding clothing that they like. I speak from personal experience, of course. So until all retailers cater to larger sizes, it's nice to have an outlet to make suggestions that other plus size women might enjoy.
