Plus size what are you wearing today

Hi guys,
I love browsing the what are you wearing today thread but being plussize (Size 26) I often can't take inspiration from it. I wondered if any other size 18+ would like to share what they are wearing today?

Posted too soon!
A long black T-shirt from primark
Air Force one black trainers

Tomorrow at work I'll wear similar bootcut jeggings with a grey jersey shirt from lands end and a few accessories to smarten it up a bit

Deathraystare · 06/10/2019 18:57

A green print top from Debenhams and some ribbed leggings which may have come from Amazon or be a very old pair from Bon Marche (unlikely as they would have frayed at the insides by now I think).

I am an 18/20 and buy most stuff from Next, Monsoon, Bon Marche, Sainsburys TU, George at Asda, Evans (occasionally - not so much now they are no longer in Westfield but just a small concession in Debenhams), Debenhams and occasionally from Simply Be or Bon Prix.

My undies are usually Marks or Debenhams. Bought a lovely coloured bra from Tu but it disintegrated in the washing machine. I try not to machine wash bras but sometimes I forget.

Some stuff from Primark too. My big bugbear is I cannot wear Viscose - it is not breathable on me and I sweat like a pig! Give me polyester any day!!

Having trouble with link but its the Bella slim leg leggings. I got regular length, which are just right for me 5'4 comparatively long legged. I am a standard 18 apple shape, and the 18 fits well, quite high waisted. They also have belt loops, which is great.

I second the snag tights. I've got them in black, bottle green and maroon. Might splash on some mustard ones too.

fudgesmummy · 06/10/2019 19:00

Size 26 here,
Wearing a black jumper, a short “flippy” flowery skirt and black leggings (and slippers 😁)
When I was out earlier at a surprise tea party I had brown ankle boots as well

CantspellWontspell · 06/10/2019 19:04

Size 18/20 - black and grey striped maxi skirt from Yours and a black long sleeved cross over top which is technically a breastfeeding top that I got when DS was a baby (nearly 15 now) but it's really flattering and still in perfect nick. Whilst out I also had a purple long line cardi and a purple a white scarf with elephants on as an accessory.

TheCatsACunt · 06/10/2019 19:04

Thanks @DelphiniumBlue

For anyone looking for tights, I’d highly recommend this online company- www.thebigtightscompany.co.uk

Not cheap, but wear well and don’t pinch on the inner thigh. Lots of colour choices too.

MrJellyBean · 06/10/2019 19:07

black denim dress from simply be Wine coloured tights from snag and brown DM Chelsea boots. I'm an apple shape size 18

MancaroniCheese · 06/10/2019 19:11

18/20 wearing black leggings (Asda) and orange scoop neck jumper from Tesco.

diet4eva · 06/10/2019 19:12

Size 26 here too - navy joggers from m&s and a stretchy floral top from Yours I have owned for ever!! Need some new ideas here to - I'm 45 and fed up with crap quality clothes!

ilovetofu · 06/10/2019 19:17

16/18 bottom half in black jeggings from matalan. These are my first ever skinny trousers and I love them. Rolled up with sandals or pumps or tucked in boots. Long grey sweatshirt type top from TK Max where I buy a lot of interesting tops for casual or work. I have huge boobs and find I must have a scoop or v next and at least 3/4 length sleeve. For work I always wear wide leg black trousers either m&s or matalan.

AuntieDolly · 06/10/2019 19:21

And bras by Fantasie!

Bargebill19 · 06/10/2019 19:23

Jeans and sweater from bon marche. Socks from Morrison’s.

OpiesOldLady · 06/10/2019 19:59

@Defeatthedebt - they really are amazing. There was a recent post on here about them. I love mine.

TakeMeToYourLiar · 06/10/2019 20:11

Black snag tights (I'm 6ft and a 24/26 nothing else works.
Black shott sleeve t dhirt
Black and red check pinafore dress
Black suede flat knee boots

ABCDE12344 · 06/10/2019 20:11

Today a barbie nightdress Grin but still work in Friday I wore this from boohoo. I'm a size 20

Defeatthedebt · 06/10/2019 20:16

OK I've decided next pay day I am going to give the snag tights a go! I will report back!

ABCDE love the dress! You look lovely. Also seen that boohoo now go up to a size 28 in most things which is awesome because I think they run a little small.

ABCDE12344 · 06/10/2019 20:26

Yeah that dress is actually a 22. But I'm a fan of if it fits I don't care what the label says Grin try pink Clove. Their stuff is lush

FredaFox · 06/10/2019 20:32

River island plus are good quality
I'm 20/22 wouldn't be seen dead in leggings, I wear a lot of jeans and tops but started to buy dresses to wear with boots recently

thinkfast · 06/10/2019 22:30

Snag black tights are great. I love them - so comfy. They don't have a great nude selection of tights though. Their builders tea tights remind me of surgical support tights.

notapizzaeater · 06/10/2019 23:44

I love the snag tights - they actually fit !

Ihavepatrick · 06/10/2019 23:56

H&M denim jacket, Cos deconstructed tee, Cos navy wide leg trousers and Isabel Marant black trainers.
Yesterday I wore the same jacket and trainers with a grey m&s merino jumper and a gap pleated midi skirt.

TakeMeToYourLiar · 07/10/2019 06:56

@thinkfast I like the builders tea. Must have different skin tones

FiveGoMadInDorset · 07/10/2019 07:16

Plus size here as well, 22-26 depending on what shop and style. Snag tights are amazing!

Today as is most days is a Seasalt tunic, Tesco leggings and Tesco long cardigan which I found on Friday

Would be nice to find some different shops to use
