Style Do's of Plus Size Short Sleeve
Shirts
DO keep cool and casual in warm weather by wearing a
classic short sleeved t-shirt. Sure, a t shirt can be quite
boring, but when worn with fashion in mind they can be your
favorite “go-to” for a comfortable summer season! We recommend
One Stop Plus for this item.
DO choose basic tees made from cotton for your favorite
outdoor activities. If you have a round face, choose tops with a
square neck. If your jaw is square, be sure to opt for the scoop
neck cut. V-neck blouses look great on almost everyone so feel
free to choose them without reservation. If you want to bring
sexy back, you can opt for a daring plunging neckline tee. We recommend
Just My Size for this item.
DO take the casual look to another level by choosing a
feminine style of tee. An embroidered summer tee or a beaded top
can be quite appropriate for a lunch party or other daytime
event. A peasant style tee with ruched or ruffle sleeves is also
a great choice when you want to be comfortable and womanly at
the same time. We
recommend
Roaman's for this item.
DO flock toward the baby doll t-shirt
with an empire waist if you’d like to hide your middle area. The
empire waist cut can be quite slimming on full figure women who
like their clothing to mask their middle. We recommend
Avenue.com for this item.
DO opt for tees that skim the body, without clinging.
Shirts in cotton do this best, however rayon can also be a good
tee option if you want to take your apparel to a more
professional level of style. You can certainly get away with
wearing a rayon women’s tee to the office. This is especially
true if you opt for the right cut. Pair a rayon tee with sleeves
that come to the elbow with your suit to look great and stay
cool. We recommend
Ulla Popken for this item.
Fashion Don'ts of Full Figure Tees & Tops
DON'T even think about reaching into your husband’s
drawer for his t-shirts! Not only will his t-shirts likely be
too large on you, but men’s shirts are not made for womens
bodies. They are cut to fit a man’s general physique. Remember,
finding women’s clothes in your specific size is always a better
option than buying men’s clothes!
DON'T buy t-shirts that are far too big for your frame.
While finding your perfect size is important, buying a shirt
that is two sizes too big won’t do anything but visually add
pounds to your appearance. Buy a size that is not tight, but
also not loose!
DON'T be afraid to go bold with color when choosing a
t-shirt. If you do get daring enough to buy a flashy pink shirt,
think about pairing it with a milder bottom. Don’t get too crazy
and pair a neon yellow shirt with Hawaiian print pants, or you
may find yourself trapped in fashion overkill!
