3 PLUS SIZE WORKWEAR LOOKS

CLICK HERE TO SHOP ALL 3 LOOKS!

OLD NAVY BUSINESS CASUAL

TOP (4X) | CARDIGAN (4X) | PANTS (28) | LOAFERS (10) | GLASSES

This kind of look was my go-to when I was working in a business casual office setting.

This particular print of this flutter-sleeve blouse is sold out in plus sizes right now, but I have linked some of their other colors/prints here.

I paired this printed top with a cardigan (bc anyone who has ever worked in an office knows, it can get quite chilly), and I LOVED this cardigan so so much. It comes in tons of colors, and I want them all!

I love the comfort and stretch that a ponte pant provides. This was my first time trying the Old Navy Pixie Pants, and I was pleasantly surprised! These weren’t my absolute favorite fit for my apple shape, but I think they are great for the price!

Lastly, I tried a pair of loafers. These bad boys were STIFF, y’all. They were so cute, but I think for my wider foot I needed to size up to an 11 to have a chance of these working for me.

TARGET BUSINESS CASUAL LOOK

TOP (4X) | CARDIGAN (4X) | PANTS (4X) | FLATS (10W) | GLASSES

Two things I love about this look: it is very autumnal and it is from my favorite store, Target.

I got this striped tie-front top in a 4X, but it was super generously sized. Unfortunately all the plus options in this top are sold out, but there are some straight sizes available in different prints, and I would be willing to bet that the XXL is roomy enough to fit up to a size 24/26 from the way the 4X was cut.

I paired the top with a plain black open-front cardigan. This is such a great staple piece for any closet!

Now, for the star of the show: THE PULL-ON ANKLE PANTS. When I worked in an office, I was obsessed with finding pants that looked professional and put together but were as comfy as pajamas or sweats. These pants check all those boxes. They have a variety of colors and prints out from size XS-4X. STOCK UP.

I tied this look together with my favorite pair of work flats. These are so wonderful because they are giving you a pointed toe, a cut out side, are blister-proof (at least on me), and they are super budget-friendly. I hope Target never ever stops selling these!

ELOQUII BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL LOOK

TOP (28) | BLAZER (28) | PANTS (28) | SHOES (10W) | GLASSES

This outfit made me feel SO confident! I really really loved it! Eloquii has tons of really cool pieces for people sizes 14-28, and I found their workwear to be especially eye-catching. If you work in an office setting and are plus size, I HIGHLY recommend giving them a try!

I started this look with this adorable flutter-sleeve polka dot blouse. If polka dots aren’t your thing, don’t worry - they have this same blouse in tons of solid colors! I typically have a hard time finding tops like this that fit me well around my lower belly, but this one was a winner for sure!

I paired the top with their long essential blazer. I personally love how much drama this blazer brings, but if you aren’t looking for that, they have so many incredible blazers in a variety of cuts!

For pants, I tried their Kady Pants! I think these pants are so cool because they come in 3 different cuts. Regular Fit is, “designed for body types that are proportional in the bust and hips with a defined waistline. Think hourglass shape.” Viola Fit is, “designed exclusively for a body shape with hips 1 to 2 sizes larger than the bust.” and Gena Fit is, “designed exclusively for a body shape with a fuller mid-section and narrower hips and thighs.” I am wearing the Regular Fit in a size 28 - I think I want to try the new Gena Fit based on the description!

I kept the Target shoes on for this look because they were too perfect!
