How do you determine what size plus size blazer to buy?

The key thing about buying a plus size blazer is to make sure that you choose an appropriate size. When trying on a plus size blazer, it is important to note how the shoulders fit and whether or not they are too wide for your frame. If so, then this may be an indication of what size to buy since one shoulder will always seem bigger than the other when wearing clothing with more clothes underneath it.

Every brand has its own plus size blazer sizing guide, and it is important to check the label of a blazer when buying one. There are some brands that offer plus sizes in a range going up to an XXL or 3XL while others only go as high as 22 for their most generous fit. The size chart is the easiest way to find out what plus size blazer will suit your needs.

 

What color should I choose for my plus size blazer?

Black, navy or gray are colors that flatter all skin tones. If you’re creating a really professional look for work, then we recommend going with the classic black blazer! It is very slimming and can be worn in both dressy and casual outfits. Navy looks great on everyone as well because it’s not too dark of a color, but it’s not too light either. Navy is the perfect color for a plus size blazer if you want to wear something more casual and dressy at the same time! Gray is another great choice because it has just enough of a tint of blue in its hue, which looks flattering on all skin colors.

Most brands offer a wide range of colors and materials for their plus size blazers, so you are going to have more options than just black or navy blue. For example, if you want something with some extra flair that is still professional looking then try wearing a blazer that has a plaid or checkered pattern on it. You could also try an overcoat or a shawl collar blazer if you want something with more length and coverage for the colder months ahead, but keep in mind that these are likely to be pricier than other options.

 

Are striped plus size blazers flattering?

Long answer: Striped plus size blazers are flattering. Think about the color and design of your striped plus size blazer (make sure it is comfortable, not too tight) and then think about what colors you want to pair with it. You can wear a solid skirt or trousers in a matching color for an outfit that will be chic, elegant and timeless.

If you want to keep the look more casual then a plus size blazer with vertical stripes is flattering when paired with jeans or wide-leg trousers for an outfit that will be fresh and youthful. Pairing your striped plus size blazer  with black skinny trousers can give you a sharp, sleek yet feminine look that has a hint of edge.

Another idea is to wear plus size blazers with geometric shapes or stripes with matching shoes: think patterned pumps, flats or boots for an outfit that will be stylish and modern but still totally chic.  If you want something more interesting then try wearing your striped plus size blazer with skinny jeans and complete the look with a pair of black suede lace-up boots.

 

How should my plus size blazer fit?

The fit of your blazer is important. You want it to be roomy enough for you to move freely and not feel constricted, but not so big that the weight pulls on the fabric and looks sloppy or frumpy. It’s all about finding a balance between comfortable (but still fitted) and professional looking. Blazers can be tailored to fit your body, but you want to make sure the blazer looks as if it was designed for your figure.

A plus size woman should wear a blazer that is not too tight or too loose on her upper arms and chest region. You’ll know when a jacket is too big because there will be excess fabric around those areas which can look shaggy and sloppy.

Darts are the best way to tailor a plus size blazer. They can be added in key areas, such as the chest and waist, which will help you achieve a more flattering look.

If your arms are too big for the sleeves of your blazer and it makes them too tight or uncomfortable to wear, then consider having the armholes enlarged so that the germent drape away from the arms.

The fit at the shoulders should be close enough to the body without being too tight. The shoulder area is the most difficult to tailor, so you ‘ll want to make sure you find the blazer that fits your shoulders well before deciding if it will need tailoring.

The collar should be close enough to the neck so that there is no excess fabric in front, but not too tight as this can leave marks on softer skin types and cause irritation.

 

What is the ideal length of a plus size blazer?

The ideal length of a plus size blazer will depend on your body type. If you are short-waisted and have hips, then it is best to wear the blazer at or slightly above hip level so that the waistline doesn’t draw attention away from your curves. By heeding this advice you can create an hourglass silhouette that is flattering to the eye.

If you are tall-waisted and have a short torso, then it is best to wear your blazer at or slightly below hip level so that your waistline isn’t accentuated by the length of the jacket.

It’s important that the blazer fits well in order to provide a flattering and comfortable look.
