Cowl - Loose swooping neckline

The cowl neck sweater became extremely popular in the 1930s and continues offering a timeless look today. Plus sized ladies and fashionistas are very excited the cowl neck is a hot Fall look this year because it is flattering on any body type. It’s particularly great for women who want to minimize the appearance of a full chest. It can be a sexy way to keep from getting cold, without exposing major cleavage! Perfect for any occasion, from ski lodge to first date, the cowl neck is one to pick up this cool weather season. See more cowl neck sweaters from Avenue.



V-Neck - Creates flattering clevage

Want to enhance your cleavage a bit? Choose a V-neck sweater! Sweaters with the v-neck cut are great for adding a little flair to your bust. However, they are also great for those with rounder faces as they tend to draw the eye downward. Choose a long v-neck and pair it with leggings for the hottest look this Fall.

Turtle Neck - Cover-up, but skims body curves

Often found in wool or cashmere, the turtle neck sweater has been a big hit for many years. The turtle neck sweater is the ideal choice for ladies who want to minimize the appearance of their bust. It offers full coverage and will show off curves without revealing too much. It’s also a great way to slim a rounder face. If you throw on a slimming turtle neck sweater and pull your hair back from your face into a pony tail or bun, your face will look ten pounds slimmer, instantly!

Scoop Neck - Can balance a smaller bust/larger hip

Be very careful as a full figured woman with scoop neck sweaters. The only women who look great in these sweaters are those who are much smaller on the top than on the bottom. If you carry all of your extra weight in your lower half, the scoop sweater can help you balance out the visual appearance of your figure and can be very helpful. However, they can instantly make your shoulders look broader and bulkier if you are larger on the top. So, beware!  See more scoop neck sweaters from Lane Bryant.



Button Downs & Cardigans - Easy, versatile styling

For a very classic and modest look, the button down sweater or cardigan can be a greatly flattering sweater choice. However, full figure women need to be very careful when wearing one. Cardigans can be helpful to hide full hips, full tummy areas and large rumps but only if they are the proper length. If you want to hide your hips or rear areas, be sure to choose a long cardigan which falls just above your knee. It’s great to choose one with a belt so you can tie it on the smallest part of your waist. This allows you to cover your problem areas while still showing off your best curves.

Ruffled - Fun & Flirty Style

For a romantic look, the ruffled sweater is perfect. It is also a great choice for a lady with a smaller bust. The ruffles can make your bust look larger, which can also mean it might be a poor choice for a large busted lady.  See embellished plus size sweaters from Macy’s.



Hooded - Cozy & comfy, but can have style too

If you’re going casual, think about picking up a nice cotton hooded sweater. Available in both small and larger plus sizes, these sweaters are a fun way to keep warm and casual. Hooded sweaters can bring a sense of youthfulness to any outfit and make you appear fun-loving and youthful! They are best for all body types, but tend to make ladies who are larger on the top look a little bulkier than normal. Remember, if you do choose a hooded sweater, wear your hair up so your hood can shine! See more hooded sweaters from Fashion Bug.
