Top 10 Plus Size Essentials for a Capsule Wardrobe

THE BLACK DRESS: Whether for work or for a special occasion, a simple black dress is an elegant must-have.

STYLE WITH: Swap the office flats for a pair of fun heels to take this dress from day to night. 

THE BLAZER: A blazer can instantly dress up a casual outfit with its classic design and clean cut.

USERS SAID: “I don't usually wear blazers because if they fit in the chest area, they are huge everywhere else on me, or have zero stretch and I'm uncomfortable. The Loft Plus line is solving that issue for me. This has a good amount of stretch without looking sloppy.”

THE CASHMERE SWEATER: A high-quality sweater like cashmere will be a lasting staple and essential layering piece for years to come.

LOVED FOR: Being lightweight while still providing necessary warmth 

THE SKINNY JEAN: High-waisted skinny jeans have a slimming effect, especially when worn with a fitted top.

WHY YOU NEED IT: The contoured waistband enhances the waist and creates a flattering fit.

THE RELAXED BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT: A timeless look, a classic white button-down can be effortlessly dressed up or down.

USERS SAID: “Love this shirt—it's comfortable and incredibly stylish. I'm a sleeves-rolled-up person, so I'll be wearing it with a skinny tie and pants. It'll also work well with jeans and skirts.”

THE PONTE PANT: Designed to fit better to your body than regular pants, ponte pants are the perfect workday essential.

STYLE WITH: Wear these with your classic white button-down and a pair of heels or flats for a polished office look. 

THE UTILITY JACKET: Utilitarian in style and design, this jacket is a classic layering piece for those chilly or rainy days.

USERS SAID: “This jacket is really sturdy. I was looking for sort of an anorak feel and this jacket didn’t disappoint. It’s not super heavy but also not super light. I got it in a 1x and it was a perfect fit.”

THE CARDIGAN: Whether for lounging or going out, this cardigan is the perfect combination of cozy and lightweight.

LOVED FOR: The length hits below the hips and provides the ideal amount of coverage.

THE T-SHIRT: Nothing feels more essential than a classic v-neck tee. The ultimate layering piece can be worn casually with jeans and sneakers or dressed up with a blazer or jacket.

USERS SAID: "Perfect fit, a great V-neck. I bought white and black to go with everything. Good amount of stretch but a great, true to size fit and a great length to cover any lumps and bumps of the tummy."

THE BLACK LEGGING: The wide and thick waistband helps to create a flattering fit.

STYLE WITH: A longer sweater or top can provide enough coverage that these leggings won’t even look like leggings.
