Editor's Notes
August 04, 2020:
In the past, clothing for plus-size women was primarily baggy T-shirts that did nothing to highlight the body's natural curves. However, nowadays there is an increasing number of companies that offer all-inclusive sizes or cater specifically to the fuller figure, thus providing more choice to curvaceous ladies.
The Allegrace Cold-Shoulder Tunic and the Larace V-Neck are both trendy selections that are as well suited to an office environment as they are a night out. The former sports stylish cutouts at the shoulders that add dimension to the shirt while covering the inner arms well. The fashionable hemline of the latter elongates the torso, creating a slimming effect. Both the aforementioned have a wide neckline that allows them to be elevated to evening wear by accessorizing with a chunky necklace in addition to a nice bracelet.
For a more casual look, the loose-fitting Daily Ritual Jersey provides excellent comfort and falls flatteringly over the hips, so you won't need to keep pulling it down as you go about your day. The quality of the top is high, especially considering the price, so it should last you a long time. Although it's just a basic T-shirt it can be dressed up by pairing it with a chic cardigan in fall.
The Folunsi Floral Blouse and the Vislily Henley have flattering shapes that cover the stomach without looking too baggy. Unfortunately, both blouses feature the same flaw in that their patterns don't align at the seams. With certain prints this is more noticeable than others, so it's something to be aware of before you make a decision.
