Gone are the days of dull, shapeless suits and boring attire. It’s time to redefine plus size business professional style and fill your closet with trendy plus size career wear that is not only chic but also celebrates your beautiful curves.
This post is all about plus size outfits for work.
How To Dress Like A Professional Girl On A Budget?
Dressing like a plus size business professional doesn’t have to be expensive! However, it can be. You’ll want to look at each piece as an investment and think about the cost per wear. For example, if you purchase a pair of black trousers that are $110 that sounds expensive, but if you get 100 wears out of them, it’s .91 per wear. A lot more reasonable, right?
The cost per wear is important to factor in when shopping for plus size work clothes on a budget because the basic pieces are timeless, so you’ll be able to wear them again and again. If you purchased a pair of pants for $30, they’d still be stylish, but probably wouldn’t last for nearly as many wears.
When it comes to the basics like a well-fitting pair of trousers, a tailored blazer, or even a comfy pair of chic heels, it’s worth spending a little bit more on the front end to wear them for years to come. Then, pair these basics with more affordable things like a seasonal blouse, trendy jewelry, and even a tote for a well-rounded look.
Plus Size Outfits For Work #1
The Spanx Perfect Pants are by far one of my favorite pieces of trendy plus size career wear! Much like the infamous faux leather leggings, they are made with built-in shaping technology that holds you in and smooths you throughout the day.
As an apple-shaped girlie, I’m particular about my trousers and how they fit, and these high-rise flare pants smooth the belly line beautifully without losing stretch throughout the day. If flares aren’t quite your style, Spanx has a complete Perfect Pant collection that includes, straight leg, tapered leg, and many other styles!
Plus Size Outfits For Work #2
If you’re looking for summer work outfits for plus size ladies, look no further! This deep green shirt dress is perfect for a business casual setting. It’s light and breezy (which you’ll appreciate once the temperatures start to rise) and has a belted tie waist to accentuate your figure.
I love pairing that deep green with warm brown tones, so I had to share the perfect tote bag that can be easily taken from work to play!
Plus Size Outfits For Work #3
This is one of the most stunning plus size work outfit ideas I’ve styled so far! The light blue accents are airy, feminine, and perfect for spring and summer. It can be intimidating to work color into your business professional wardrobe, but light pastels are a perfect way to seamlessly integrate them.
I brought this look together with a crisp stretch linen blazer from J Crew and an affordable pair of mules to keep that “effortless” look going.
Plus Size Outfits For Work #4
Eloquii is one of my favorite retailers to get work dresses for plus size ladies from! They offer a variety of styles and sizes and although they’re on the pricier side, they do often have sales of 30%+ off. As a matter of fact, I have this wrap dress in another color in my closet.
I love a classic wrap dress with a tie waist, especially as an apple-shaped girlie, because you can easily create a more custom fit and accentuate your waistline. And let’s face it, every woman needs a little black dress!
Plus Size Outfits For Work #5
This linen shirt dress can seamlessly work as cute work clothes for plus size women, or a plus size summer outfit depending on how you style it. I would classify this on the more casual side of things, so be sure to take note of your office’s dress code and policies.
Often, I find it less about the base look and more about the accessories when it comes to an outfit being considered “dressy” or not. Think about pairing this with a classic blazer and pumps for a more business professional look.
Plus Size Outfits For Work #6
Who doesn’t love a simple pop of pink, especially when shopping for plus size office wear for ladies?! A well-fitting white skirt is one of my favorite business casual pieces for the spring and summer, but be sure to check the fabric or if the piece is double-lined to ensure opacity.
I paired it with this classic peplum style blouse to add shape and accentuate the waistline, but you could also style it with a bodysuit and a blazer for a more professional look.
Plus Size Outfits For Work #7
If you’re looking for the perfect plus size business professional dress, this one from J Crew does not disappoint! It has a classic fitted silhouette and is beautiful when worn alone, but even better when styled with a blazer for a more well-rounded look.
I styled this dress with light and airy tones for a more timeless summer work outfit. The strappy shoes are perfect for a little more fun and can easily be worked into other outfits in your wardrobe and the chunky block heel keeps them on the comfortable side.
