Catch up on your morning coffee with this IN’VOLAND 2 Piece Linen Shirt and Drawstring Shorts Set that can take you from day to night. The set includes a cotton linen shirt we loved a lot and felt so comfortable in as it’s a very suitable material for summer. Also, the shorts are made of the same material and they fitted loose when we managed to pick the right material.

We believe that every woman should have at least one of those sets for quick outings.

We just wished the fabric had more stretch, but overall, it was a perfect set to choose for summer.

One way of wearing shorts for plus-sized women is going for flowy wide shorts. MakeMeChic Scallop Trim Flowy Wide Leg Shorts are one of those wide shorts we found suitable for curvy women as the design itself is loose. The shorts aren’t stretchable but they fit well and the waist is elastic for different body measurements.

Consider these shorts the perfect transition from loungewear to beach wear and vacations. Some women would wear these shorts only for lounging by the home, but personally, we could style them with traditional T-shirts for walking by the sea. We also wore them with a lace crop top for a morning casual party.

MakeMeChic Tie Dye Cami Romper

Want something unique, with colorful designs for summer? MakeMeChic Tie Dye Cami Romper will do the trick. This was our first time to try a romper. We always thought that rompers would make us look fatter, so, we have been always staying away from them but we discovered that we have been missing a lot.

With the right soft material and flowy cut, the romper can look the best on plus-sized women. Also, the colorful design mixing different shades of the same color with white did its job of flattering and hiding all the imperfections. The two side pockets were our favorite in this new style. Besides their normal uses, they gave the romper a very casual look.

Summer is here and here’s a reminder that this year you can play around with pool cover-ups to have a different look each time you want to take Instagram photos. MakeMeChic Floral Split Wide Leg Pants isn’t the typical cover-up you might go for. You might not even notice that it can be worn as a cover-up.

Since we had it in real, we found that the sides are split, so, it showed all our thighs. At this point, we thought of wearing it as a cover-up and it was the best decision we made. With a simple swimsuit, we are ready for a photoshoot. However, this isn’t the only way you can wear the pants. You might wear them for a casual outing but don’t forget your shorts under them.

It appears that we liked the idea of dresses for plus sizes.

What’s more, if you have large boobs, the dress will define them in a way you won’t accept anything else after that. Watch this video from Reviews Unscripted to see how it fits plus sizes.

As comfortable as loungewear, this dress comes in a very lightweight and soft material. However, it’s chic enough to wear out and about. There are many colors, patterns, and floral designs.

Best price. We wanted to make a statement with the outfit we are wearing and at the same time pay the least amount of money possible. Haloumoning Sleeveless Henley Top is just a simple top but we could really do a lot with this top to get an eye-catching overall outfit. For example, a floral lightweight jacket with a chic pair of sneakers and jeans shorts looked great. Check out this list of the best Ssense sneakers to see what we have tried before.

Another option is to wear this top with a feminine skirt and a pair of summer sandals for a totally different look. We tucked the top inside a mini ruffle skirt and it looked so summerish and flattering as well. The top is available in sizes up to 5X, so, we think it’s a good bargain for all women to check out.

Best material. This breathable and lightweight CARCOS Womens Plus Size Top will be a precious addition to your summer collection this year. The top we’re talking about is just a traditional v-neck top, yet, it’s a must-have for summer. Its material is almost all cotton with some spandex for stretch. You’ll want to wear it every day for how comfy it is.

Moving to the design, we found so many patterns and colors to choose from. We could make many cute summer outfits for plus size from each of the available blouses. But one thing that was common among all of our reviewers is that they preferred a larger size of the blouse for a flowy style. This blouse looks better when it’s a bit loose, so you might want to size it up like what we did.

How To Choose The Best Cute Plus Size Outfits for Summer?

To choose the best look this summer, you have to know the latest trends. Yet, this isn’t the only thing you need to think of. There are also other things we kept in mind while searching for trendy summer outfits for fuller figures.

Special fit

Not all plus-sized women have the same fit and body shape. You might have the same weight as your friend but you both have totally different bodies. Thus, while we were searching for plus-size summer outfits that offer a cute style, we kept in mind that some dresses as the ones with elastic waists look better on pear-shaped bodies. They can flatter the hips a lot. Also, some shorts won’t look so flattering on women with wide hips. V-neck blouses can make the bust area look smaller, so, choose accordingly.

Your own style

Another thing you need to consider is your own style. You don’t have to go after a certain type of clothing just because it’s trendy this year. If you don’t like tight pants, for example, don’t just wear them because all the fashion bloggers are wearing them. Luckily, women’s clothes come in many designs and some items never go off-trend, so, you’ll always find your own style and create your own fashion statement.

Occasion

Finally, we thought of different occasions and how we should style different items to suit different occasions. We know that some of you might love the formal style or the bohemian casual dresses, for example, more than anything else. Yet, you can’t just wear formal all the time or wear casual dresses for work. Consider picking different items that go with several styles. A basic v-neck loose top can be worn with formal pants or denim shorts and sneakers. Both will look totally different. Similarly, a linen cotton shirt can be worn with same-colored loose pants or shirts for a casual outfit or a midi tight skirt for a semi-formal style.

Can I look cute in plus-sized outfits?

Any woman can look elegant and cute by picking the right items. You can show off the curves you love by highlighting your waist and wearing slightly loose or not-too-tight blouses and dresses to exaggerate a feminine side.

How can I hide a big belly?

You can simply exaggerate other areas to shift the look from your belly. Try to wear loose clothes on the top and don’t tuck your blouses or shirts in. Also, an open jacket or cardigan can make this area look smaller.

How can I know my body shape?

The body shape is determined by where most of the fat in your body resides. If it’s in your hips, then you have a pear-shaped body. Alternatively, if the bust size is larger, then, you have an apple-shaped figure. An hourglass body means both the hips and the bust areas are equal.
