Fall dressing comes down to layers that are easy to adjust and fabrics with a little more texture. These outfit ideas use plus-size knits, velvet, dresses and outerwear from our shop, with sizing notes on each piece so you can order with confidence.
Build around a soft knit
The Hazel Button Cuff Tunic is a long-sleeve ribbed knit with a wide neckline and decorative buttons at the cuffs. Its tunic length gives coverage over leggings, and it comes in black, brown, green, royal blue and wine.
For something dressier, The Pearla Embellished Sweater has rhinestones at the neckline and faux pearls across the front and sleeves. It is short-sleeved, in ivory or black, sizes 1XL to 3XL, so add a cardigan or jacket on cooler days.
Try velvet for evenings and holidays
Velvet brings a richer texture as the days get shorter. The Plus Size Velvet One-Shoulder Long Sleeve Blouse comes in burgundy with ruched gathers at the front. Pair it with the Plus Size Elegant Velvet A-Line Midi Skirt in black for a dinner outfit, or with the Plus Size Velvet Ruffle Hem Wide Leg Pants if you prefer pants. The skirt and pants both have pockets.
When you wear velvet on top and bottom, choose two different colors or keep the whole outfit in one tone. Burgundy with black is an easy combination.
Pick a dress you can layer
The Polka Dot Ruffle Midi, Plus Size is a brown polka dot dress with long sleeves, elastic cuffs and a ruffled hem, in sizes 1X to 4X. Wear it with boots and a cardigan now, and add tights as it gets colder.
The Full Size Suede Turtleneck Lantern Sleeve Mini Dress has a turtleneck, lantern sleeves and pockets in a suede-look fabric, listed as 100% polyester. It comes in brown, black and army green in sizes S to 3XL. There is no stretch, so check the bust measurement before ordering.
Keep an easy pair of pants ready
For everyday outfits, The Kessler Relaxed Straight Jean is a mid-rise, relaxed straight leg in 95% cotton with minimal stretch, sizes 1XL to 3XL. Pair it with the Hazel tunic or a button-up such as The Penny Polka Dot Shirt, Plus Size, which runs 0XL to 4XL. For a more relaxed option, The Sierra Wide Leg Pant has a drawstring waist, pockets and a long list of colors.
Add an outer layer
- The Full Size Single-Breasted Sherpa Shacket is a plush sherpa shacket with front pockets in deep pink, black, green or yellow, sized S to 5XL. It is unlined, so treat it as a mid-weight layer.
- The Full Size Cozy Fleece Zip-Up Hooded Jacket comes in ten colors, sizes S to 5XL, with a drawstring hood for casual days.
Finish with the Round Toe Plush Lined Boots, low-heeled ankle boots with tassel details in black, red or brown.
Check measurements, not just the size label
Plus-size labels vary between brands, and even between items in our shop. Some run 0XL to 4XL, others 1X to 4X or S to 5XL. Compare the bust, hip and length on each product page with a piece you already like, and pay attention to stretch notes: a fabric with no stretch needs more room than a stretchy knit.
