Fashion is not just for skinny people. The fashion caste system that once separated people into those who can (skinny and rich) and those who cant (everyone else) is crumbling and a fashion utopia is emerging where fashionistas can look fabulous regardless of size. Take that Kate Moss!
The Rules
Now, there are few rules you need to follow in order to stay in fashion. In this diet-obsessed, waif-model culture, designers still gear their creations towards a size four (shout out to all of the skinny fashionistas- we love you too!) and their version of plus size is to just make a bigger size four. Commit these size rules to heart and watch your style quotient rise.
The Stores
So where can you buy these clothes? Below are the best stores to purchase plus size fashions that will enhance your style and be gentle on your pocket books.
Elisabeth.com. Elisabeth.com by Liz Claiborne is make comfortable and stylish clothing in sizes 14 and up. The online store is having a major clearance sale on fall and winter merchandise. Take an extra $20 off purchases of $180 or more.
Smartbargains.com. Smart Bargains has a designer plus size fashions from Liz Claiborne, ABS, and more.
Newport News. Newport News has cheap, trendy fashions up to size 28. Almost all of the sizes you see on their size 2 models are also made in larger sizes.
LaRedoute.com. The Parisian online retailer, LaRedoute.com, has some of the best plus size fashions on the web. They are hip, trendy, and extremely affordable.
Kiyonna. This little website features sophisticated styles for fashionistas who wear a size 12 or higher. We are pretty big fans of their dresses.
Oldnavy.com. Owned by the GAP, Old Navy has cheaper, lower quality versions of the fashions seen at the GAP, up to size 20/XXL. It is great place to stock up on tees, tanks, and other items you may buy in bulk.
Overstock.com. This is the best online outlet and a great place to pick up cheap designer items. The plus size section tends to be a little boring for our taste, but sometimes you can find deals like a Dana Buchman top for up to 80% off retail.
Target.com. Stop by for toilet paper and leave with an outfit. Too bad the Isaac Mizrahi line only goes up to a size 16.
Wal-Mart. Wal-Marts new George line is hot! Where else could you score this seasons hottest style - the boucl jacket - for $26.00 bucks? More items are being added each day!
Try stopping by your local outlet mall. Off 5th, Saks Fifth Ave Outlet has an amazing selection of designer plus size fashions from Donna Karan, Oscar De La Renta and Anne Klein. Also, check out stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and Macys - all of whom have very hip plus size departments. Bloomingdales and Macys plus size departments usually have the best sales, while Saks Fifth Avenue has more cutting edge fashions and higher end designers.
Remember that you can be a fashionista regardless of your size. Dont let pop cultures ridiculous fashion caste system dictate what you can and cant wear. Arm yourself with a heaping dose of self- confidence, a purse full of common sense and the rules above and head to your favorite store and shop!
