Plus Size Capsule Wardrobe for Spring

Fly Friends! We’ve talked about capsule wardrobes here on the blog before, but we’ve never really gotten into it! A capsule wardrobe is a great way to take alleviate anxiety when getting dressed, make putting together outfits a breeze, and practice sustainability. Are you planning on creating a capsule wardrobe for Spring? Start with a closet clean-out! Anything that doesn’t fit in your capsule can be resold or donated. Check out how to choose colors for your plus size capsule wardrobe!

Once your color palette is on lock, you can move on to assessing what pieces you do have and possibly shopping for or thrifting the pieces you don’t! I’ll break everything down for you and show you some examples of outfits you can make from the plus size capsule wardrobe that I put together!

How to Style These Pieces

Styling a Shacket

Plus size shackets are casual and comfy. They can also add a fun streetwear feel to a more elevated outfit. Another plus, this layering piece will work for any season all year long.

Styling a Denim Jacket

Spring calls for the perfect plus size denim jacket! Denim is the perfect casual neutral. This is a piece
that can stay in your closet through all seasons and pairs well with everything.

Plus Size Leather Jacket

Whether you’re elevating a casual look, adding some edge, or looking for a unique workwear layer,
a plus size leather jacket is a must-have! This plus size leather jacket is THE ONE.

Styling a Blazer for a Plus Capsule Wardrobe

I love choosing a pop of color for my plus size blazer option. I love that you can pair this with slacks
for work, jeans and a tee for an elevated casual look, or as a monochromatic moment.

Plus Size Rain Jacket

Having a stylish plus size rain jacket makes all of the difference in spring! You can throw this cute and funky piece over any outfit to protect you from the weather. I feel like most of us never owned a rain jacket because they weren’t fashionable. In turn, we just let our cute outfits get wet and put our trust in umbrellas.
Now there are tons of cute plus size rain jacket options out there!

Styling a Plus Size White Button Down

Finding the perfect plus size white button-up can be tricky. We all know that gapping and puckering is a problem and those buttons don’t always button. I love this plus size white button-down from Target. If you’re looking for a more luxe version, this one from Universal Standard is also a winner!

Plus Size Graphic Tee

Plus size graphic tees are forever. I love having one from a favorite band or with a phrase that
means something to me. This is also a great opportunity to pull in one of your pops of color.

Oversized or “Boyfriend” Tee

Plus size oversized tees have really blown up since the beginning of the pandemic. What was once considered a house tee is now in the center of elevated casual and loungewear. I love oversized pieces! They are so comfy, pair well with so much, and give that edge streetwear feel to any outfit.

Styling a Lightweight Sweater for Spring

One of the worst parts of transitioning to a new season is the fluctuating weather! I always like to
have a lightweight sweater in my wardrobe at all times. Whether it’s a dressier option or
a crew neck, it’s the perfect option for a chilly day or bonfire night.

Black Tee Plus Size Capsule Wardrobe

Having the perfect long-lasting plus size black tee at a bit more luxe of a price point is totally worth it. Having a capsule wardrobe means beefing up your basics.

This is one of my favorite high-quality tees out there.

Styling a Patterned Blouse

So many people think that creating a plus size capsule wardrobe means all solid colors. You can still add a few statement pieces into the mix! I recommend choosing patterns with your color palette to ensure that the item will still make multiple outfits. A guideline to follow while shopping for your capsule wardrobe is: only buy it if you can see it styled in three different ways with items already in your closet.

Styling a Striped Plus Size Tee

Having a capsule wardrobe doesn’t mean that you can’t break stereotypes! You can still throw the “rules” we all learned growing up out the window. Horizontal stripes are a staple for everyone!

How to Style a Plus Size Crew Neck

Plus size crew necks are perfect for casual outfits by themselves. They can also be easily dressed up by
layering under a leather jacket or over a collared shirt like the classic plus size white button-down.

Black Jeans

Plus size black jeans are my favorite workwear hack. The comfort and stretch of jeans and the sleek black professional look in one piece? Sign me up! These are also a great starting point for any baddie outfit!

Dark Wash Jeans

Plus size dark wash straight leg jeans are perfect for Spring! This look keeps things crisp and clean with the natural touch of casual that comes with wearing denim. If you haven’t tried straight lets jeans yet, do it!

Ripped Plus Size Jeans

I will wear plus size ripped jeans all year long, but for my babes who live in super cold climates you may have packed these away for the winter. It is time to bust them out again! The perfect go-to denim.

Styling Black Work Pants

Yes, these plus size black work pants are a must-have for any work wardrobe and will most likely be appropriate for a wide variety of jobs. But they also can be worn for a night out with heels, some cheetah print, and a denim jacket!

Styling a Plus Size Capsule Wardrobe Skirt

It’s important to choose the plus size skirt style that works best for you! Because I’m working on creating an elevated casual wardrobe, I went with this kitted skirt in a pop of color that can be dressed up or down.

Pop of Color Pants

Pop of color pants make me feel extra stylish! This is another example of a statement
piece being brought into a capsule wardrobe. Because it’s in our color palette
it gives that wow factor and works with multiple outfits!

Black Leggings Plus Size Capsule Wardrobe

Plus size leggings are pants, y’all! You deserve the comfort and the versatility that these have to offer your wardrobe! I love wearing leggings for work-from-home days, running errands, and going out to lunch!

Plus Size Joggers

Loungewear is now a staple! After the past few years of quarantine, fashion is comfier than ever. It helps to find a plus size jogger style that can easily be dressed up or down. Finding the right style means that you can wear these comfy loungewear pieces to work, out for drinks, or while working from home.

White Wide Width Sneakers

We all know that white sneakers paired with skirts and dresses have blown up in the last year! These are some of the most versatile pairs of shoes you can own. You can even pair these with workwear.

Statement Sneaker

You have your white sneakers, now it’s time to add a statement sneaker! I chose these animal print slip-ons because they match the color palette and I know there is already cheetah print in my wardrobe!

Black Flats

Black flats truly go with everything and give a slightly more elevated look! I love the pointed toe on these because it gives them an extra style element. I love the all-black outfit with these ripped jeans!

Neutral Booties

These booties look great with a wide variety of bottoms! Whether it’s with a midi skirt, straight-leg jeans, or tucked-in leggings, these give you a little bit of height but are still comfortable to walk the streets in.

Nude Heels Plus Size Capsule Wardrobe

Last but certainly not least, a pair of nude pumps to round out your plus size capsule wardrobe! Try adding heels to an otherwise casual look and watch it turn into an ultra-trendy outfit.
