Spring is still a month or so away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t slowly start breaking into some lighter and brighter clothes. A lot of my plus size readers have been asking me for suggestions for tops that can wear now as they transition into spring and beyond. So, here’s what I’ve come up with.
Take a look at these cute finds that are cheery, casual and classy.
1. Pastel PerfectionOnce spring arrives, I am ready to shed the dark shades of black, brown, and gray for happier colors. The gorgeous mix of colors in this cute Vince Camuto ruffle sleeve blouse are the most pleasing shades of pastels. This chiffon blouse with a flattering v-neck is a great blouse to wear for lunch outdoors on a beautiful spring day. | |
2. Lovely Lavender!Lavender is poised to be one of spring’s top colors. This lavender faux wrap top is simple but elegant and shows off all your curves. This spring wardrobe must-have pairs nicely with dark denim, as shown, but would really go well with just about any color. Check out more ways to wear ultra violet, 2018’s color of the year.

3. All In KnotsI love this knot front long sleeve tee for occasions when you want to look nice with minimal effort. It’s super soft and comfy. Pair it with jeans or a pair of joggers to run weekend errands. Snap it up now to look fab later. | |
4. Cross Your HeartWhen it’s cold outside, and skies are gray, I crave a good shot of color. This chic crisscross rib-knit sweater is bold in design and color. It’s just the top you need when you want to go from feeling blah to feeling beautiful. | |
5. Two For The Price Of OneGet two great looks in one with this convertible cowl neck pullover. For a casual daytime look, it can be worn as an elegantly draped cowl neck. Dress it up at night by converting the neck to a sultry off-the-shoulder look. It’s the shirt with endless styling possibilities. | |
6. Off-The-ShoulderIf you’re going for a head-turning look, this gingham off-the-shoulder top is for you. The ruffled sleeves add drama and the shoulder-baring neckline adds allure. This top would be perfect for a girls’ night out on the town. |  |
7. “Reddy” For SpringThis red embroidered eyelet tunic is relaxed and comfy with its flattering V-neck and scalloped hem. Pair it with jeans now, and a pair of cool, white pants as temperatures start to rise.

8. The Layered LookI absolutely love the look of layers but I don’t like the bulk. This pretty crewneck sweater combines crisp white poplin shirttail and cuff insets to create a smooth, layered look without all the unflattering heaviness. | 
|
9. Give Them The Cold Shoulder!Flirty and feminine perfectly describes this Michael Kors cold shoulder top. You can’t go wrong this spring in this bold turquoise top with eye-catching circle-crochet detail. | 
|
10. Modern BohoWhen you want to wear boho, but don’t want to look like a leftover from the 60s or 70s, go for this printed butterfly sleeve top. It’s a modern update on a favorite classic peasant top. |  |

If I was in my 30’s, yes! But I don’t think they are suitable for me (59) But I do appreciate the models not being thin while modeling plus size clothing.
59? These would look great on you Sandee!(Although I understand some women may not like off the shoulder)
Unless you’re tall, none of these will flatter the full figure. At 5’4″ all of these would make me look like Fred Flintstone… shorter and brick shaped. For my height and weight everything I’ve read shows a shorter cut is best, and I tend to agree for us short, sturdy ladies. Just sharing that in full figure sizes, not every cut is flattering.
Thank you Deborah for showing these tops. One top I’ve found that fits my apple-shape and big-bust are the ones that have the elastic at the bottom hem. I thought they would balloon out on me and make me look bigger but they are actually flattering. Not sure about the off the shoulder tops because how do you wear your bra? Chances are if we’re plus-size we’re probably not able to wear a strapless bra. Just sharing in case your readers are interested in other options.
I am not fond of any of these. The hemlines are all the same length. Plus size women have different shapes, not just “big’. These are not flattering.
Thank you for acknowledging plus size clothing and featuring them here. One thing that drives me crazy is that so may designers refuse to make clothing for heavier women and some even consider size 12 as extra large. I suppose they don’t want anyone but stick thin women wearing their creations, but they are losing out on a huge segment of the population. And too many stores or catalogs that do feature plus size items feature things that look so ugly and unflattering. Thank you for not forgetting there are millions of women out here who are not size 2.
Kathy we are on the same wavelength! It is such a dumb business model to not design for the majority of American women, where the average size is 14! Julia http://www.whenthegirlsrule.com
