Plus Size Clothing: Leather & Denim
When it comes to shopping, finding your size is always a hassle. Whether the item is out of stock or not offered in your size, whatever the issue may be, it’s tough. Especially when we are searching for larger sizes we often feel that even our favorite brands aren’t as inclusive as we’d like them to be. We rounded up a list of our favorite plus size leather and denim pieces this winter and where you can find them so you can forget about the hassle and focus on the fashion. Whether you’re shopping for a friend or family member or searching for yourself, there’s something on this list for every woman.
If chic was a material, she’d be leather. We love a leather jacket for any season but when winter comes around we are on the hunt for the perfect leather jacket. This Michael Kors Plus Size Classic Moto Leather Jacket is a great option for the typical biker style leather coat. It’s a soft but durable leather with zipper detailing on the sleeves and zipper pockets on the front of the jacket. We love the just-above-waist crop and it’s a great everyday jacket for the winter to remain super stylish but to keep warm as well.
For a more typically “chic” jacket, we love a leather blazer. Leather blazers are great because they can be styled in a casual way with denim jeans or even layered over a hoodie and sweats or they can be dressed up with a dress, skirt or a nice pair of trousers. This Anne Klein Plus Size Classic Leather Blazer in the color Luggage is the perfect, “no frills” leather blazer. We love this deep chestnut brown because it’s a refreshingly warm color compared to the typical black leather we usually go for. However if you’re looking for a black option, there is one available but we would recommend this Jessica London Leather Swing Coat. It’s a cross between a leather blazer and a leather trench with it’s mid-length silhouette but we would style it just the same with either a pair of jeans or even some heather gray sweats and our favorite white sneakers.
We mentioned pairing denim with our leather and that brings us to our top picks for jeans. These NYDJ Marilyn Straight Leg Jeans are a great light wash option, with some light distressing in the thighs and a super relaxed and casual fit. We also have our eyes on these NYDJ Barbara BootCut Jeans in black. They have a slight flare at the bottom but really hug your curves in all the right places and in all the right ways. We’ve been really into black denim lately because it’s easy to dress up or dress down and it matches with any top or jacket. Finally, this pair of NYDJ Pull On Skinny Ankle Jeans is great for the girl who loves to mix casual and not-so-casual. This high waisted skinny dark wash denim is great for pairing with your favorite pair of heels or knee-high boots for a dressed up but not obnoxiously overdressed look. NYDJ is a great inclusive brand that has such a wide variety of denim washes and fits and especially sizes, so we’re really glad to include them on this list.
So, what do you think of our list of leather and denim pieces for this winter? We think our favorite is the chestnut brown blazer from Anne Klein and of course the black denim option from NYDJ. Which pieces are you shopping this winter?
