Getting dressed for work during summer as a plus-size girl is not an easy task. While summertime can be frustrating for all the people who have to follow a certain dress code, it’s arguably even worse for ladies who wear a size 14 and up. This is the opinion of Lauren Chan, the founder of Henning, who shared tips for overcoming this issue with Bustle.
Natural Fabric
Cotton and linen clothes are the best option for hot days in the office. There are so many elegant models to pick from, even in plus-size collections.
Flowy Dresses
Jeans are not your best friend during the summer. Go with skirts and dresses that are long and thick enough to be work-appropriate. Those who still prefer pants can try culottes that allow your body to breathe.
Try Out Different Brands
More and more brands are introducing a plus-size range, so it may be worth checking them out, even though you didn’t have any luck with them in the past. This may be the summer when you discover a new favorite!
