Business suit for a plus size woman

Costumes have long and firmly entered the lives of overweight women. And if women have been wearing a jacket with a skirt for quite a long time, then the trouser suit has come into fashion relatively recently, borrowing this element of the wardrobe from men, adding only a touch of femininity to it.

One way or another, many overweight women have suits in their wardrobes today, and if the dress code at work obliges them to own one, then there’s no escape.

However, today there are models of suits that are useful not only in the office; they can be worn at a social event or used while relaxing.

What types of suits are in fashion in 2016? If last year two-piece suits were at the peak of popularity, then this year three-piece suits, which include a jacket, vest, skirt or trousers, are popular.

It is clear that it is better to wear a three-piece suit in the cold season, and not every overweight fashionista suits it, but do not be upset - two-piece suits are still in trend.

Suits of both classic style and unusual styles are in fashion this year.

Expensive fabrics are welcome: wool or jacquard fabrics, but tweed, jersey or knitwear should not be forgotten either. The costume can be decorated with silk and satin. Original details of jackets are also in fashion.

The second part of a classic suit can consist of straight-cut skirts of medium length, trousers of a straight or tapered silhouette, and dresses of medium length without sleeves.

This year, suits are in fashion not only with a straight skirt, it can have a trapezoidal shape, flared at the bottom, it can be a bell skirt, a pencil skirt, or a year skirt, a half-sun, a sun. There are no special restrictions here.

You can also use trousers that are different not only in style, but also in color, even contrasting with the jacket. But it is still recommended to wear a trouser suit with heeled shoes, which is not suitable for all tall women

However, when using pantsuits, you visually elongate your figure, hiding your fullness.

As for the jacket, overweight women should pay attention to jackets with a semi-fitted or loose silhouette.

High-waisted suit trousers and a long jacket will help hide your belly.

In addition to the classic ones, double-breasted suits are in fashion, which are recommended to be worn by girls and women who wear clothes above size 54.

The buttons on such a suit should be large or medium and contrasting in color with the suit itself. The very number of buttons depends solely on the style of the jacket - the looser the model, the fewer buttons there should be.

Another fashion trend of 2016 was suits in the Baroque style, which are characterized by an abundance of ruffles and waves. It’s difficult to say how such costumes will look on a full figure, although no one forbade plus-size girls from experimenting.

Another trend this year is women's suits in retro style. Such suits are made from cashmere, thick jersey, felt, knitwear or thick linen.

And finally, the colors of women's suits for plus-size fashionistas are fashionable. There is not as much variety here as with suits for skinny people. Basically, plus size brands offer suits in classic black, white, gray, red, pink, dark blue, light blue, green and yellow.

Overweight women cannot afford to be careless in choosing items for their wardrobe. A balanced approach to purchasing outfits will allow you to look great in any situation. Stylish clothing emphasizes the strengths of the figure, does not highlight flaws, and creates a harmonious image. Beautiful styles for plus-size women are offered in the 2018 collections by all leading world fashion houses.

The most popular clothing for women with XXL sizes is suits. Business and elegant, evening and home, for a walk and for a celebration - this is an incomplete list of the possibilities of a universal outfit for the 2018 season. The main types of women's suits:

  • jacket and skirt;
  • jacket and trousers;
  • jacket or cardigan and dress;
  • knitted ensembles.

Women with an A figure have narrow, sloping shoulders and wide hips. When choosing a suit, they should prefer models with a lighter top and dark bottom. Trouser suits with slightly wider models hide the extra width of the hips, making the entire figure slimmer. A long skirt will also cope with the task of balancing a narrow top with a wide bottom silhouette.

The T-type figure is characterized by a massive bust, lush shoulders and relatively narrow hips with flat buttocks. Harmonious female images will be created by models with a dark top and light bottom. Skirts can fit gently around the hips, flaring slightly towards the knees.

The length of the upper part of the suit is decisive. Any style of suit will take on an elegant look if the top and bottom of the ensemble are combined in length. There is a simple rule: the longer the bottom of the suit, the shorter the top and vice versa. It is enough to mentally draw a horizontal line along the widest part of the hips. Three fingers above this line is the minimum length of the upper part of the suit, a palm below is the optimal maximum.

In 2018, designers recommend that overweight women use suit styles with vertical lines. A full-length zipper, flared hem, fashionable slits and deep pleats on the skirt lengthen and slim the figure. Models with transverse stripes should not be rejected; frequent horizontal stripes visually elongate the silhouette and add height.

Classic formal suit for overweight people

Women's classic suit has another name - English. Not forgotten in 2018, it is no less popular than the little black dress. The sheath of a classic suit allows you to easily hide extra centimeters of your waist and hips. A semi-fitting jacket and a mid-knee skirt or trousers that cover the heel are the ideal style to make your figure slimmer.

For short, plump women, another classic suit ensemble is perfect: a pencil skirt and a cropped jacket. Classics are impeccable business suits, clothes in which a plump woman feels especially stylish and confident.

Women's trouser suit

Fashion shows 2018 widely presented models with trousers. This clothing has no equal in its versatility and the ability to make the figure of a plump lady the most attractive. Different styles of trouser suits allow you to use them for both business and evening wear.

The determining role belongs to the type of fabric. Fashionable sets made of matte fabric with satin details are the perfect elegant decorations for weddings or evening events. Lace fabric is the hit of the season, especially white. It would be appropriate to wear it to a wedding or prom as a smart top with sleek trousers.

For the image of a business woman, suit pairs with trousers widened from the hip are relevant. They are not only fashionable in the 2018 season, the comfortable style hides extra centimeters in the thighs and calves.

Knitted trouser pairs are comfortable to wear as casual wear. Despite the convenience, overweight women should be careful in choosing the size - knitted clothing should not fit tightly to the figure. The favorite home suits in the wardrobe of overweight women are trouser suits made from comfortable fabrics: velvet, corduroy, plush, cotton.

Models with a skirt and dress

The skirt adds femininity, romanticism and elegance to the suit. There are special requirements for it in fashion for overweight people. The ideal length is slightly below the knee, the style is pencil or moderate trapezoid. Don’t discount knitted skirts, which provide special wearing comfort.

Fashionable suits 2018 with a skirt or dress captivate with their unconditional versatility. Stylish business suits can be easily diversified with the help of discreet accessories - neckerchiefs, small beads, loose tops. Unlike last season's two-piece suits, three-piece suits are more relevant in 2018. They can be combined in different colors by choosing adjacent shades of the color scheme.

A dress with a jacket is a good choice of elegant clothing, which would be appropriate to wear to an official celebration: an evening reception or a wedding. Light jackets can be combined well into stylish ensembles with thicker dresses. The ideal option is a dress one tone darker, showing the figure from the most advantageous angle.

When choosing models to create a stylish look, you should take into account the fashion trends of the 2018 season:

  • multi-layering,
  • frequent stripe,
  • small floral print,
  • safari style,
  • bright spots,
  • marine theme in summer collections.

It’s not often in life that you come across outfits that can be safely called strict and at the same time feminine. Such garments include a dress-suit, which at first glance is memorable for its originality. This outfit does not require special jewelry or accessories. You don’t come across these things in boutiques and on the market very often, but this does not mean that you need to give up such luxury.

Dresses of this form periodically appear on the fashion Olympus, then disappear again. They appear on the pages of magazines after girls become tired of trouser sets, when designers give us the opportunity to enjoy more feminine business clothes!

Such different dresses and suits...

The styles of these outfits are varied, but are often presented in the form of a dress with a jacket or jacket. From time to time you come across models that combine a skirt with a vest or bolero. Over the past few seasons, women have been offered jackets with one button, with zippers, or without any fasteners. Such jackets do not need to be buttoned; they are an expressive accessory.

Strict business dresses most often reach the knee or have a shorter length. The choice depends on the girl’s height and the advantages of her figure. A dress-suit with a jacket or bolero is also selected taking into account the dress code. The basic rule of business style is that the outfit should be strict, have a straight shape, and the jacket should be close-fitting.

Current directions

As you can see from the photo, designers offer stylish dresses for thin and overweight women. In this case, the products are distributed according to their intended purpose. Thus, evening dress-suits are made of elegant fabrics, decorated with patterns, embroidery and belts. Such elegant clothes can be used for parties, business meetings and even social events.


A large niche is occupied by business dress-suits, distinguished by strict cut and suit fabrics. White and beige tones, combinations of blue and black with light and delicate shades are relevant. Most often, outfits are made of several shades; this effect not only gives a strict appearance, but also makes the woman look slimmer.

Lately, I've come across a women's two-piece suit with a dress in turquoise, red, fuchsia and orange. For summer, light pink, soft blue, and beige models are popular. Pastel shades are always a win-win option; they emphasize femininity and attractiveness!

Dresses have different styles, ranging from business office to gentle and romantic. Therefore, the choice of shoes varies. Combine a business model of a dress-suit with pumps, and more romantic styles look perfect with open sandals or semi-closed shoes.

Such dresses are most often recommended for overweight women and for women over 40. This is due to the fact that straight styles are very slimming, youthful and refreshing. We recommend that curvy girls avoid auxiliary accessories on their clothes. Shoes should not attract attention to themselves, so that there is no emphasis on full calves.

Choosing a dress-suit for a plus-size woman

Thanks to an elegant outfit, any plump woman will look attractive! The main thing is that the set is chosen exactly to fit the figure. Black-and-white, red-white, yellow-brown, pink-white models, the design of which takes into account the woman’s physique, are extremely popular.

Often, sets for curvy ladies take the form of a fitted sheath dress and an elegant short jacket. The outfit is also relevant for women over 50, since it hides full arms and belly, while shaping the waist. A dress above the knees shows off your legs, so women with an “apple” body type can take note of this outfit. The jacket and skirt are made from the same material, so they look very harmonious.

The advantage of models consisting of a skirt and jacket is that they can be worn separately, combining the jacket with trousers, and the skirt with a shirt or tunic. A variety of dresses for plump and mature women allows you to choose an elegant and original option. Products with polka dots not only create a good mood, but also make a woman look more fit. Dark blue, green, black and white sets are also visually slimming.

Summer sets

Please note that the dress-suit does not always have a separate shape. Some designers resort to original tricks and solutions, creating one-piece models that are similar to a suit only in appearance.


Summer fashionable dress-suits have a light structure, they are delicate and flowy. Models for summer wear come in different lengths: floor-length, knee-length and very short. Mini skirts are popular for girls who prefer to show off the beauty of their legs to others.

Summer styles of dress-suits also differ depending on their purpose: evening or casual dresses are offered. Among the current dress options, there are no straight or fitted dresses; they are all made of light and flowing fabric, for example, silk or chiffon.

A summer suit made of cotton and linen will become your constant companion. This is a stylish and lightweight model for every day! To create such costumes, fashion designers do not use voluminous fittings and glossy fabrics, since these effects make the look visually fuller.

What brands can you find such clothes from? Pay attention to the outfits from Belarus. Brands such as Yulina, Danaida, Amelia and others have a wide range of sizes and give women unprecedented comfort.

Give yourself a new and original thing that will become your reliable companion in any situation!
