10 wardrobe essentials

plus size top, plus size dress, plus size pants, plus size shirt

From  Bombshell Beauty:

1. Cashmere Sweater- Yes. Cashmere looks and feels amazing. I don't think you have to feel compelled to choose black for basics like this piece. A really gorgeous color that works with your skin tone can be just as versatile as black or gray. Pair it with a fancy skirt or casual jeans.

2. Little Black Dress - Yes. The easiest piece in your closet should be something that works no matter what the occasion. If you have the perfect LBD for your body shape, you can reach in and pull it on, confident that you'll look & feel great. Choose a dress in a fabric that has a little weight to it like ponte' or wool for the most versatility.

3. Trench Coat - I can take or leave this piece. A belted jacket looks great on most plus size figures, so that's a plus. And neutral khaki feels crisp and classic. I just don't wear jackets often enough to give a trench top billing in my own 10 essentials. I'd go with a fitted blazer instead. Plus size clothing...

4. White Button Down Shirt- Nope. This is the one piece that every stylist called out as a must-have, but it's the one piece I really cannot ever see myself wearing. White button downs are not my style; I'd rather swap in a white cotton crew neck tee shirt. If you do choose to add this to your wardrobe, pick one that fits really well through the bust and your waist. Look for one with darts or seams to flatter your figure.

5. Day Dress- Yes, yes yes. You all know that I'm a huge fan of the day dress. This version is made of cotton, so it's comfortable and easy to pull on and go. Add a belt, a blazer, switch up shoes and jewelry - there's the potential for so many looks based on this one piece. Slimming plus size fashion.

6. The Perfect-fitting Bra - Absolutely! Undergarments that fit make all the difference in how the rest of your clothes fit. If you haven't had a bra fitting in a year (or ever) head to Lane Bryant or your local lingerie store for a professional fit.

7. Dark Jeans - Yep. A great-fitting pair of jeans can take you from day to night, running errands to a party, with minimum fuss. To ensure a classic, universally flattering look choose a pair that is consistently dark with no fading or whiskering. Try Funfash fold-down sexy jeans!!

8. Ballet Flats - Yes! I love to wear ballet flats. I find they're more comfortable and stylish with a slightly elevated heel. Choose a nice leather so they'll be as versatile as possible.

9. Stylish Bag - Yes, definitely! And again, i don't think you have to feel bound to making that stylish bag a black one. Bright colors, interesting details and pockets all go a long way toward adding style to a bag that will be by your side every day. I recommend choosing leather, or a good leather substitute, to ensure longevity and versatility.

10. Diamond Studs - Yes. Even if you're not someone who's really into jewelry, you can add instant polish to your look by slipping on a pair of diamond studs. Real or fake, expensive or not, it doesn't matter.
