With fashion sitting plum on the retro bandwagon, it is time to bring out the 80s and 90s look to rock the trend. Designers have taken a modern route in shapes, cuts and details to set fashion trends of yesteryear ablaze – even for plus size fashionistas.
Here is a quick look at what is trending in the plus size fashion wear:
Plaid it on
Plaid’s in with bold colours and oversized prints. It is everywhere this season, with designers incorporating it in suits and even in footwear. On the plus size side, it is best to go for subtler shades of plaid that are paired with coordinated patterns.
Animals on print
Leopard prints have been making their presence felt in the fashion circuit since the beginning of this year; this last season will see it bringing in other animal prints to add to the fashion milieu. Animal prints stretching from snakeskin to zebra, in fashion items ranging from boots to jackets, have opened the print arena for fashionistas.
Red power
Power colour red is making strong waves this season. It is the most versatile of all colours, and with the nip in the air all set to turn to chilly evenings, a bright red coat will be the best fashion statement in your wardrobe.
Wrap shirts
There is something distinctly chic about a wrap shirt or wrap dress that has a one size fits all look. It can give your curves a right tribute.
Cape talk
According to fashion observers, capes are officially back and how… For the uninitiated, a cape is a sleeveless outer garment, which wraps your back, arms and chest. It is set to become this season’s staple with its dramatic cuts and mysterious, magical appeal. You could wear a cape coat with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or even on an evening dress.
Monochrome calling
Pick an all-white or black dress or a matching skirt to give this season a monochrome touch. You could pair it with a jacket and take it one notch higher with printed footwear to complement the monochrome outfit.
Boot polish
Feel the glamour of knee-high boots this season. Pair it with your favourite skater skirt or even dark trousers and get right into the season.
Dress in florals
Winter doesn’t have to be muted and dull, at least not in this part of the world where it is the most awaited season of the year. Deep floral tones are in this season for dresses that give you a feminine touch with a belted waist. Even if you are heavier on the bottom, you could get one tailored to get your look right.
Skinny belts
A skinny belt can easily up your fashion quotient. Wear it with a skirt or a dress and let the glamour mood rush over you.
