Plus-Size Fashion Picks From Codes.co.uk

Feb 07, 2019

Finding the right piece to add to your wardrobe can be hard; finding consistency in your shopping experience is another thing entirely. Instead of hunting down tops, dresses, and skirts item-by-item, we want to help you shop by category with these “Hall of Fame” awards we’ve given to our favorite plus-size shops.

How does this help? Look up Project 33, which hones your wardrobe down to the must-wear pieces that you adore. For three months, you get to choose 33 items to wear (clothing, jewelry, and shoes) without a thought to the rest of the stuff you own. Lounge clothes, sleepwear, and workout gear doesn’t count, by the way. Why take part in a little project like this? Because you’ll be able to know the items that you really love — in categories. That makes the next part of the shopping phase so much easier: you’ll know that you love tunics, wrap dresses, booties, and big sunglasses, for example, and make them work accordingly.

Without further ado, here’s our Hall of Fame for Plus-Size Fashion:

Evans Boutique: Shoes, Shoes, and More Shoes Many of us who wear larger sizes struggle because shoes are equally as hard to fit. However, Evans delivers with an “extra wide fit” that includes loafers, pumps, and booties that look and fit beautifully. Not only are they roomy, but they certainly don’t look like wide shoes: instead, they are in-tune with the season’s most popular looks.

Yours: Lingerie We love the lingerie at Yours, which runs the gamut from super-stylish pieces and pretty everyday items. Even better, some of the looks are online exclusives, which leaves you feeling like you got even more of a stylish steal. We love the liberal use of hearts paired with totally practical slips and shapers. You can get your lingerie here for the entire year in just one shopping trip, and save with Codes.co.uk.

Simply Be: Dresses Gorgeous date-night dresses live here! The wrap dresses are sublime, the tunics just too cute, and maxis perfect for tall women. Go out on a limb with some of the colours and styles, which include sporty, floral, bright solids, and more.

Marisota: Daring Silhouettes Sometimes you don’t want to think about fashion “rules”. We don’t want to be held to silly expectations of what to wear when you’re bigger than “X” or taller than “Y” – we just want to live in what makes us comfortable. Marisota delivers by showing us how to break the rules fashionably, with tucked-in t-shirts (YES!), low-waisted, pleated skirts (LOVE!), and an exclusive range of daring looks from designers who certainly catch our eye. Start by browsing the super-soft tees in every colour, and then move on to the exclusive collection from Joe Browns.

Curvy Kate: Bras, Of Course! Some of the prettiest bras live at Curvy Kate, and they start at size D+. And bonus points for the sassy saying at the bottom of the site: “Victoria’s Secret: #WeDontNeedYourWings.” And the swimwear outlet is another perfect find, with low-cut and high-cut bottoms and plenty of top styles, too.
