5 DAYS OF PLUS SIZE DENIM OUTFITS
Who’s ready for denim?! I don’t know about you, but I am SO excited to transition my wardrobe from Summer to Fall! One of the ways I always prep my closet is to find a few really great pairs of denim I will want to put on over and over again as the temperature drops! For this series, I styled 5 looks that all feature some amazing denim I’ve been loving lately! At the end of this post, let me know if you want me to cover more denim - because honestly this only touches the tip of the iceberg with how many options us plus size girlies have these days!
For reference, here are my typical sizing details:
Height: 5’8
Apparel Size: 2X
Numeric Size: 18W/20W
Bra Size: 42DD
DAY 1
JEANS (35/20) | TOP (2X) | SHOES | BAG (SIMILAR)
WHERE TO WEAR:
You could wear this anywhere requiring a casual chic vibe, like brunch, a day date, a casual evening date, girls night out, etc!
Love this cute and casual look! Wearing a pair of Abercrombie slim straight 90s jeans in a size 35(20). I recommend sizing up if you’re unsure! Top is a size 2X from Terra and Sky at Walmart. Shoes are Walmart too and my tote is from ABLE - it’s currently sold out, but I’ve linked up a similar one!
DAY 2
JEANS (18W) | TOP (2X) | CARDIGAN (similar) | SHOES | BAG
WHERE TO WEAR:
This one is perfect for dressy casual at the office, out and about shopping or lunching with your friends, or casual date night!
These Madewell Plus Kick Out Crop Midrise jeans actually fit me like a high rise! They are INCREDIBLY comfortable and stretchy, but not too stretchy… they are very structured and chic and totally appropriate for work! I have them in the 18W and I recommend getting your regular size, these run generous. For a dressy casual look, I paired them with these black flats from Walmart that are so easy to slip on, and so stylish while still being affordable! This tee is from ABLE, one of my favorite ethical brands and it runs generous, I’m in the 2X but could do the 1X. The cardigan is from Abercrombie and I absolutely love! The XL fits like a true plus size 1X - this exact one is currently sold out, but here’s a similar one! My chain black clutch is Abercrombie as well!
DAY 3
JEANS (18) | TOP (2X ) | SWEATER (2X ) | SHOES
WHERE TO WEAR:
Perfect for casual Friday at work, lunch dates with friends, running errands, taking your kids to birthday parties on the weekends, etc!
You can’t super tell here, but these jeans are actually high rise carpenter jeans and I love the slim straight leg! I am a HUGE fan of these - highly recommend! They run true to size and have a good amount of stretch without losing the structure. I will DEF be styling these more so stay tuned! I paired it with this adorable camel checkered tee, which is the softest fabric!! I added this lightweight long black cardigan in case you want to layer it, and topped it off with my classic platform converse shoes.
DAY 4
JEANS (20) | TOP (2X ) | SHOES
WHERE TO WEAR:
For sure this would be a wonderful workwear or teacher look if denim is allowed! You can also change the shoes for a low flat and still keep it this vibe, or even classic white sneakers like these! to dress it down.
I absolutely love how understated and chic this look is! The navy top is super lightweight, too, and makes for a fantastic #HOTFALL option, for those of us who live in warmer climates! I sized up to a 20W in these Maurices jeans and I think that was the right choice, there is some stretch and they feel really good and like they fit correctly. The top runs true to size, I have it on in the 2X and I wouldn’t size down at all. These mules are from Madewell a few years ago and still standing strong! I love the camel color, I think it pairs so beautifully with so many things.
DAY 5
JEANS (35) | TOP (2X) | SHOES | BAG
WHERE TO WEAR:
This one is great for date night or grabbing dinner/drinks after work! The top is super cozy but can be dressed up like this because the quality is top notch!
These jeans are from Abercrombie and they’re a little tight, so if you’re super unsure size up one more. I am in the 35 (20) but I can still wear them! I love the dark sleek black look of these jeans and where they hit me at the ankle. There is good stretch in them, but not too much to where they lose structure! This top is from Spanx (use discount code ASHLEYDXSPANX) and a size 2X. It’s from their AirEssentials collection, which is hands down one of my favorites from Spanx — so comfortable but SO CHIC all at the same time, and machine washable! Love this chain clutch from Abercrombie and the little black kitten heels.
