Plus size casual

Hello šŸ‘‹
I’m a size 20ish 45 year old who is struggling to find casual clothes. I am fine with dresses and work wear but I would love to find casual weekend (and isolating with Covid!) clothes! Most my weight is around my lower stomach so I find clothes like loungewear just make this part of me look bigger.

Does anyone have any style ideas? Happy with jeggings but can never find hoodies/sweats or jumpers long enough to cover my stomach.

I’m 5 ft 9
Thank you!

Bumping this one for you, OP.

Hush is really good for baggy clothing and their sweatshirts are lovely - so soft and plenty long enough. They have lovely loose fit dresses.

I'm not as tall but I tend to wear good quality leggings with tunics for casual.

I have some Alexa trousers from Lucy and Yak, which might work for you. They're high waisted and loose fitting, so you can tuck or half tuck into the top and roll up the legs a bit. Looks cool imo and skims the lower tummy. I carry weight there too, and I find this can work for me

I wear jeggings and tunics. Very comfortable but smart enough if I need to pop out.

I literally just wear dresses all the time now.
With boots or trainers and layer up if colder weather.

Thank you for this! I have ordered some and they are fab. I just don’t own any tops to go with them. What do you wear?

Thank you for the suggestions! Think I might have the trouser party sorted but now now sure what to wear on top that isn’t too fitted or tent like!

I wear mine with a fitted tshirt, tucked in. I have green Alexas and I wear them with white or navy tshirts
