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?

Today I'm in London as a tourist and wearing a mix of Asos and Next. Beige chinos and a oversize bottle green jacket from ASOS and a plain white oversize T-shirt from Next.

Snag tights
Office ankle boots
M&S mini jersey skirt
Wallis utility shirt in berry (tucked in at the front)
Matalan black chunky cardigan (taken off as too warm inside)

Today is maroon leggings from Peacocks under a maroon/black/mustard/white patterned tunic/dress from Matalan which I've had for years.

It won't let me post my picture... I'm wearing a black and white spotted 50s swing dress, dark red tights and a big, pink net petticoat and slippers because I'm at home. I've had a crappy weekend. I thought someone was one of my best friends and it turns out they don't consider me a friend and I spent £500 on a hotel etc to find out. I need to feel pretty today.

FredaFox · 09/10/2019 19:03

I’m in a lack and white print new look dress, black opaque tights and patent brogues

A pp meantioned studio 8, ive bought dresses and coats from here, great quality. Bought direct or from house of Fraser, have dropped on good sale items

Didn’t realise cos did plus size so will check them out

It’s do hard to get good quality not tent lije polyester clothing when you are bigger than average 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wanderingraspberry · 09/10/2019 19:04

Billie and Blossom dress from Dorothy Perkins, black Tu leggins, black Dorothy Perkins cardi and Fly London Ankle boots.

RooKangaroo · 09/10/2019 21:27

Sorry @LittleSweet , sounds like a rubbish day :(

I ended up in black leggings and a long blue Joules jumper today, with black Chelsea boots. Will try harder tomorrow!

Meeting a friend in London today for a day out. Can't decide what to wear!

SteelRiver · 10/10/2019 07:29

Today I'm travelling so I'm quite comfy. I've got on Next bootcuts, a tshirt from Great Plains and a denim blazer I bought on eBay. Best £2 I ever spent!

Defeatthedebt · 10/10/2019 07:41

LittleSweet sorry about your "friend" Sad but your outfit sounds to die for!

Today I have Next cropped skinny jeans, a nude vest and a white Next T shirt with a twist hem. I will top it with a grey cardigan that I have had for years.

I need the vest because the t shirt is a little sheer so I haven't worn it much.
I am in the office today but I can't be bothered with smart today and it is almost the weekend.

EatDiamondsForBreakfast · 10/10/2019 08:42

@TakeMeToYourLiar what did you decide on? Smile

FatherFintanFay · 10/10/2019 10:07

Good idea for a thread! I am a pear-shaped, short 16 with small boobs and huge thighs, but can veer wildly between sizes in different shops. I try to avoid plus size ranges in mainstream shops because they seem to just be a bigger version of their usual offering, scaled up with no thought for whether they work on bigger bodies.

Today I am wearing:

Navy knee-length skirt with pink flamingo pattern from Hobbs
Pink silk MaxMara vest top
Navy blue cardigan from Joules
Slate grey M&S tights
Tan brogues that were probably from Asda but I can't really remember now and the labels have worn off through prolonged use

I don't like black and can't bear leggings, so I have to do quite a lot of planning to put together flattering outfits. I find that so many "big" clothes default to dark colours, and I really look best in pastels and paler neutrals like camel and light grey. Navy is a sort of compromise which I avoided for years because of school uniform associations!

TakeMeToYourLiar · 10/10/2019 20:53

@EatDiamondsForBreakfast
Went for a cherry blossom Hepburn dress from lady v, with tan slouchy boots and nude tights

Mimsnethe · 10/10/2019 21:58

This thread has inspired me and I’ve placed my first ASOS order. Never realised they did plus size.

FredaFox · 11/10/2019 08:09

Today in a river island dress black plaques and doc martens
On a train so can’t take a full pic

Gorgeous dress @FredaFox

I'm wfh so wearing jeans and a grey jumper.

Jeans are from bonne marche, weirdly if all the places I've tried they fit me best!

peachgreen · 11/10/2019 11:48

I'm in an ages-old M&S jersey dress today, black with red, gold and blue geometric shapes (nicer than it sounds!) and a really lovely shape - sort of a lower empire line waist which is very flattering. Black opaques, gold brogues.

Aprillygirl · 11/10/2019 12:09

Worked the night shift last night, so am now all ready for bed rocking an old grey size 16 leggings and old size 18 pink T-shirt. So comfy.

sugarbum · 11/10/2019 12:32

I'm dressed like a 5 year old I expect Grin
Unicorn dress
Green snags
Black suede boots
Grey longline cardi

Span1elsRock · 11/10/2019 12:40

I'm an 18/20 and am wearing M & S jeggings in dark blue with knee high brown leather boots and a Monsoon blouse in red/pink.

I wear lots of Monsoon, Seasalt, Boden. Gave up with Yours and Evans due to the dreadful quality.

ilovetofu · 12/10/2019 20:07

Going to a party in a minute & trying to decide if a gold dress is too much ?! 😬

Wallywobbles · 12/10/2019 20:24

A really nice blue t-shirt from old navy plus size and a pair of next jeans.
