Plus size summer holiday outfits

[BeenChangedForGood]

Hoping for some inspiration 🫠

Last time I was abroad I was abroad I was a size 18. Now a size 22 due to a medical issue - working to lose some weight but it’s a slow process due to my medication. So none of my previous holiday clothes fit and I need to build a new summer holiday wardrobe 🫠

We’ll be in the Balearics for a week at the height of the summer so needs to be cool and comfortable clothing. Ideally on a high street budget.
I’m 35, medium brown hair, fair skinned & carry my weight around my middle plus have a large chest.

Ideally I’d like pieces that I can mix & match rather than buying loads of standalone outfits.

So far I have:

• black linen shorts
• khaki linen shorts
• 2 summer graphic tees
• loose vest tops in black & white
• patterned linen midi dress
• longline white beach shirt coverup
• 2 swimsuits - 1 black, 1 patterned
• sandals in black & tan

Has anyone bought any nice pieces recently for their holidays? 🤞🏼☺️

Laura Adlington on instagram does plus size fashion and shows some really nice outfits.

Thats OK, I totally get the ethics of it & why people don’t.

I would be wary of using yours (high st shop). Clothes also made in china, huge markup considering this & I have found previously that the quality of the clothes is not good but then I haven’t bought anything from there for say 10yrs.

Get the cotton chub rubs off amazon not the nylony snag ones!

Look at vinted and get some more quality branded pieces!

Linen trousers, next door some lovely Linen dresses every year, someone will be selling some nice ones i'm sure.

Love a bit of shein
and Temu !

my DS had this experience when he bought some clothes from Shein. They absolutely reeked of strong chemicals and even washing them thoroughly couldn’t shift the odour. He threw them away but it was a tough lesson for him as he wasted so much money.

They have some nice new things in Tesco’s F&F range. I just bought a couple of dresses for £18.50 each!

Ooh do you have a link?

A couple of cotton maxi dresses with cotton anti chafing shorts underneath would be my suggestion, for comfortable, flattering evening outfits.

I found a site yesterday called You Know Who’s . It’s seems to be ex chain store stuff including Next and Marks and Spencer . Some sizes go up to 22 so it’s worth a look . I saw an item on the site that is definitely from Next as I have the item .
thr prices are great . I have ordered a white denim jacket for £22 and cut off jeans for £10.

This thread has been really helpful. I bought 2 pairs of the TU trousers and they are so beautifully comfortable. Also got a one hundred stars cover up.

Great! Hope you enjoy wearing your considered, comfortable AND stylish new clothes lots!

Just wanted to say thank you all so much for your suggestions ☺️ Managed to get a few lovely maxi dresses on Vinted - one monsoon, one fat face, one joe browns and one TU - for £26 total 👍🏻☺️ so I’m very chuffed with that!!

Have picked up another few daytime tops just to throw on with the shorts and I think that’ll be me sorted now ☺️
Although I’ve spotted another swimsuit that I like 🫠🤣
