Whether you love to play dress-up or like downplaying your outfits, in both cases, Blazers are the saviour. That one thing in your wardrobe which can notch up your outfit and give it a very trendy look is none other than a tailored jacket. Some people think blazers or jackets are good for the winter and fall seasons only, but even in the summer season, tropical prints could work wonders.
How to Wear a Blazer for Plus-Size
Want to rock the blazer look this year? Do not worry! Because blazers look stunning on curvy women, making them perfect to wear all year round. Here are some tips on how to wear the blazers:
- Stock on some basic solid-color blazers in your wardrobe. Who knows when a white blazer or pink blazer could be needed? Having more than one solid colour blazer is a great idea as they can be worn in multiple ways.
- A plain colour Blazer looks amazing with a printed camisole or tank top for a simple and adorable attire.
- Solid blazers can be worn with printed dresses.
- In the winter season, do not layer up under your jacket, as it can add more volume to your body, making you look bulky.
- Avoid wearing very thick fabric as it gives more bulk to the body. Thin fabric is ideal for curvy or plus-size women.
- Women with a “Pear Shape” body type should wear a blazer with padded shoulders.
- Printed jackets are ideal for women with “Apple Shape” body type and having a short length, slightly below the waist, look perfect.
- Blazers and jackets look pretty good with slimline bottoms, like pencil skirts, maxi dresses, and denim (regular or distressed).
- Always check before buying a blazer that it’s comfortable. Your curves must be enhanced, arms should not look jammed, making you look like an Iron lady stuck in an Iron costume.
- Showing up some skin is sexy and adorable as well. Cuff up your sleeves a bit and flaunt some style.

Curvy women tend to stay away from crop tops. However, we believe that accepting your body and flaunting is what will make you look and feel beautiful.
