The crisp air, the crunch of the leaves- fall is officially here! With a new season comes a new opportunity to hit refresh on your wardrobe, get rid of the pieces you haven’t been wearing and make sure you own the pieces you should be wearing! We know, we know – finding the right pieces for a plus size fall wardrobe can be daunting. So, to make the process simple & seamless, we put together a plus size wardrobe capsule collection with the top 15 pieces we’ll be shopping for this fall/winter season. You may have some, you may have none but these pieces are what everyone is talking about!
Not sure how to wear the pieces? Don’t worry, check back this Friday and we’ll show you how we put together 16 different fall-fabulous looks to get you started!
When purchasing your capsule pieces, ask yourself a few questions:
1. Will this piece have longevity in my wardrobe?
2. Can the piece be paired with other items that I already own?
3. Will my purchase help me create stylish looks that reflect my fashion personality?
Happy shopping…
Plvsh’s Stylist-Approved Top 15 for Fall
1. A surprisingly versatile faux fur
Think animal print is just for accessories, think again. Start seeing it as a basic color & voila, versatile outerwear.
2. The wear-with-everything skirt
Chilly days don’t stand a chance- pair a flirty crepe bias cut skirt with tights and just about everything else! This is a great wardrobe staple.
3. The ultimate transitional fit and flare dress
Thanks to its simple silhouette, this easy grab & go dress works all year round. Bonus? The gorgeous pop of color.
4. The ankle bootie
When isn’t an ankle bootie a go-to item in fall? Get a pair that works well w/ your everyday style & current wardrobe and keep them in rotation!
5. A shimmery statement piece
Surprise everyone when you mix in a sparkly something into your everyday attire. Don’t reserve the special pieces for a party or occasion, work them into your wardrobe now.
6. A Red Coat
Standout in a bold outerwear choice this season. This Eileen Fisher one hits two trends at once- blanket coat + red = cozy perfection.
7. Menswear Trouser
Houndstooth, check, pinstripe, a muted color- choose your detail and be sure the fit is spot on menswear inspired. It’s all about a laid-back, Annie -Hall vibe when it comes to these pants. Just be sure the fit is right , and if it’s not tailor them!
8. Classic, Basic Kicks
No frills, all function. Your go-to sneaker for fall should be stripped of everything. Keep them simple & pair with everything.
9. Leisure Joggers (yes, really)
Sweatpants? We don’t think so. Introducing, joggers, the older-more sophisticated cousin to the sweatpant. Perfect for looking polished but feeling comfy.
10. Top handle tote
Ladylike enough for work, but w/ a long strap perfect for a night out. Find one that is polished but contemporary that will work for seasons to come. Looking for an extra something? Grab a pop of color or standout print.
11. The cozy sweater
A new version of the traditional sweater; slightly oversized w/ a delicate touch. Cozy enough for movie night but just polished enough for casual Friday at the office.
12. The everyday bootie
Low maintenance, low-heeled for comfort and in a color that will work with your entire wardrobe. The casual ankle bootie is a wardrobe must have. Find one that suits your style, add tights, wear w/ pants, a skirt – the options are endless.
13. The Sweater dress
There’s nothing not to like about the sweater dress. A cozy option that is fashionable and doesn’t involve tailored pants for the office? Yes please. Go luxe w/ a cashmere option.
14. Ornate Jewelry
Sparkly, shiny, statement making jewelry is a must for fall/winter. How else will you spice up that leggings/sweater combo? Choose one that will work for day-night ensembles & bring you right into holiday.
15. An Easy Tunic
The best quick fix to those “I don’t know what to wear” days. An easy tunic works with everything from joggers and sneakers to work pants & a blazer!
Remember to check back on Friday for Plvsh’s suggestions on how to mix and match these beautiful pieces!
