Fall Plus Size Fashions

It looks like the big colors for this Fall are soft plums, browns and rose, olive green and teal. Look out for luxury feel fabrics like cashmere, and jersey. Layering can still work on curvy figures, just avoid bulky fabrics. Try a shirt with a tank top sweater, or reveal a hint of a lacy cami top underneath a v neck sweater. Tunic style tops continue to be popular and these look so cute layered over jeans or wide leg pants. If you are tall, you could even wear a wrap dress over pants or jeans.
Add a cord or denim jacket with a skinny scarf, or cosy up in a wrap or pashmina. Don't forget to carry an oversize leather tote if you want to be right on trend.
