Plus Size Wardrobe

It’s winter, and that means yet another style change for BBW men and women around the world. So what is in style for the next three months? Boots, Belts, and Bling should be a staple in the closet.
Let’s start with the Bling. The shiny stuff that I’m talking about is not jewelry and jewels. It’s anything that is in silver, gold, or has a metallic reflection. The best bet is just to stick with the handbags or shoes.
I’ve tried to include everything I could find for the guys because large men can be fashionable too.

Belts can be a great accessory, depending on the size and style. Who hasn’t seen a celebrity wear a belt with a dress, t-shirt, or more? Spend time trying on different belt styles and use the ones that flatter your body type.
Belts are great for creating curves on the body for both men and women. No one wants to see someone looking like a runway. Large women and men shouldn’t feel bad about showing some curves.

When wintertime comes around, I always say that its time to switch over to boots. Uggs are still in fashion for Winter 2008.
The Uggs in the top left hand side of this picture really work well with a pair of tucked in jeans and a light sweater. I should know, they are my wife’s favorite pair.

As a guy that’s interested in photography, I don’t mind watching America’s Next Top Model. Yes my wife and I celebrated when a BBW won last years competition.

Last night was a tough competition where the models had to kiss Supermodel Mark Vanderloo in a commercial audition. Majorie ran away with a $10,000 dollar shopping spree.

So I thought since it’s fall and getting into winter that BBW guys and gals should revamp their wardrobe. My wife thinks that guys don’t have to worry about denim fashion but there are some jean no-nos that even guys have to be aware of.

Make sure they fit
Bunching jeans in the back for women is just not flattering.
Guys you need to eliminate the chance of anyone seeing the beginning of your but cheeks. You know that famous plumbers crack.
No one wants someone who has slouchy jeans. If they slide down your backside, make sure that you wear a belt.

Have several pairs
Gals you will want to make sure that you have a pair to wear with heels and flats. Then you will want to make sure that you have a boot cut. Plus you might want to throw in a pair that you can tuck into your boots.

Does anyone do that anymore? Anyways….No one likes to see extra jeans hanging around the knees. So make sure that the jeans follow the line of the leg straight into the boot.

Guys will want to have a pair of jeans that they can wear with tennis shoes and loafers. Don’t forget a pair for the hiking boots and other stylish boots in your closet.

Just to get your fashion juices going my wife helped me with some pictures on Polyvore.

Winter is here and that means that we have to bundle up! Sometimes that can be hard for large men like myself. I know that my wife has a problem with it too. She’ll see this colorful frock but they won’t have it in her size. Then I have to see here frown till she kind find something.

I can’t stand bright colors but my wife loves them. So I wanted to provide some places where both men and women can find great coats. Something that will fit your style and your pocketbook too!

Land’s End has a baby blue jacket with hood. There is a pair of Wellie Boots to match the color of the jacket. Land’s End also has men’s raincoats for around $50. The largest selection they carry is a 3x.

PRK-2 at Burlington coat factory has a fake fur lined aviation jacket for under $50. It fits a size 4x for guys. I’d buy it but I’m afraid that my wife would steal it from me. What is it about women and fur?

“Luxury darling!” The wife says. Hmph!

That’s ok the wife has found a Fitz Wright at Burlington in red. It’s longer than the men’s jacket.

Don’t forget to check Jessica London for Plus Size Jackets. This designer has a wide selection of Fall cropped jackets and winter wear.
