Welcome to the Nothing To Wear Edit where each week we curate the best of whatever we spoke about on the podcast. Listen to the latest episode here.
There is nothing more exciting than the onset of summer. The days get longer, the sun shines brighter and temperatures start to rise — and all of this tells me that it’s time to start planning out my summer wardrobe.
For months, I’ve been wearing chunky knits and long coats, so it’s nice to ditch the bulky winter wear and replace it with more breezy pieces.
Shopping for clothes as a plus size woman isn’t always easy, and seeing so many retailers refuse to accommodate women over a size 12 is disheartening.
Over the years, I’ve figured out exactly what styles flatter my body shape, and this summer, I’m leaning into those very silhouettes.
From slip dresses to every kind of skirt imaginable, here is everything I’m going to be wearing this season.
Natalija the Label Silk High Neck Midi Dress, $480.

Why I love it: This dress is from the brand Natalija, who customise all of their dresses to ensure that they fit. It goes with everything in my wardrobe and is just so versatile, I can dress it up or down and it makes me look put together even though I barely put in any effort. Definitely a staple piece.
Forever New Ellie Curve Linen Ruffle Mini, $169.99.

Why I love it: As a plus size gal I love knitwear because I feel like I’m less limited in my options. I can shop at mainstream stores like DISSH and although they don’t stock my size, I can experiment with styles that will fit my body.

Why I love it: Denim never goes out of fashion, which is why I think it's important to invest in an oversized denim jacket.
