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!
