Transitioning Spring to Summer Fashion for Plus Size Women
As the weather warms up and the days get longer, it’s time to say goodbye to bulky sweaters and heavy coats and welcome the lighter, breezier days of summer. For many, transitioning a wardrobe from spring to summer can feel like a challenge, especially when it comes to plus-size fashion. But fear not – with a few simple tips, you can update your wardrobe in a way that’s both stylish and comfortable, embracing your curves and the change in season.
Here are some tips on how to effortlessly transition your wardrobe from spring to summer while maintaining your unique style.
Summer Time, Don’t Shy Away
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with bold colours and playful prints. Don’t shy away from florals, tropical prints and stripes, they work wonders with plus size figures and can be so much fun! Don’t be afraid to play around with colour blocking and mixing & matching for a bold look. Add some summer flair with accessories like statement necklaces, large sunglasses, and wide-brimmed hats. These not only add some flair but also provide sun protection.
Dresses are a wardrobe staple in the summer, and they’re perfect for those hot, sunny days; there are just so many options to choose from. For a polished yet comfortable look, try a midi dress like the Picasso in a breathable fabric, or for something more casual, go for a simple My Cherry t-shirt dress. Dresses are versatile and can be dressed up or down with the right accessories, and you can bring dresses over from the spring into the summer by simply changing up those layers again.
Effortless Sprint-to-Summer Style
Spring dresses may be dressed up with a Bailey blazer, tights and an ankle boot, then head into the summer months and you just need a wedged sandal and something like the Plain scarf as a shawl and you’re ready to go. Swap to trainers and a denim jacket and you’ve got a daytime look.
One of the easiest ways to transition from spring to summer is by layering your outfits with lightweight, breathable fabrics. In spring, you might have been wearing thicker layers or jackets, but as the weather heats up, you can opt for lighter options like a denim jacket, shawls or kimono. These pieces provide coverage without overwhelming your outfit and keep you comfortable on cool summer nights.
Look for fabrics like linen and cotton to keep things light and breezy while still providing some layering options when needed.
Stylish Wide-Leg Trousers
Wide-leg trousers like the Sunset Nights are stylish and great for spring and summer. They offer a relaxed fit that is both comfortable and fashionable, meaning they’ll keep the fresh spring air off you but not be clingy and too warm in the summer, again just by swapping a lightweight jumper for a vest top you’re transitioning your wardrobe without needing to start completely from scratch every season.
Let Your Arms Breathe
As the weather warms up, it’s time to let your arms breathe. Opt for lightweight tops like tank tops, blouses, and tunics. Flowy, loose-fitting tops are great for keeping things cool and comfortable while still being stylish. If you’re not into sleeveless options, a short-sleeve button-up or a cap-sleeve blouse can also keep you feeling fresh.
Play around with off-the-shoulder tops like the super affordable Cynthia, which can give you a chic, on-trend look. Pair them with Erin high-waisted jeans for a perfectly put-together outfit.
Comfortable sandals are a must for summer. As spring fades away, it’s time to retire your boots and make room for sandals. A stylish pair of gladiator sandals, or wedge sandals are perfect offering both comfort and a touch of sophistication. Whether you prefer a flat sandal or a heeled one, there are tons of stylish, plus-size-friendly options available that will elevate your summer looks. A classic white trainer is also a versatile must-have and pairs well with almost any outfit, from dresses and trousers.
Embrace The Warm Months Ahead
By incorporating these elements into your wardrobe, you’ll be ready to embrace the warm months ahead with confidence and style. Remember, the most important aspect of fashion is feeling good in what you wear, so choose pieces that make you feel fabulous!
Transitioning your wardrobe from spring to summer doesn’t have to be complicated. By making small adjustments and embracing light fabrics, bold colours, and versatile pieces, you can create a wardrobe that’s not only stylish but also comfortable. Celebrate your body, your style, and the beauty of the changing seasons with these tips for effortless summer fashion.
