Plus Size Women's Shirts and Blouses

The plus-size women's blouse completes an outfit in one move: fluid viscose shirt, chic blouse for the office or an event, long tunic-style shirt, cotton shirt for everyday wear. It can be worn tucked in, open over a top, or tied at the waist.

A fluid blouse falls without clinging and stays elegant all day long.

Shirt or blouse?

The shirt, with a classic collar and full buttoning, has a smart look borrowed from menswear. The blouse, more feminine, plays with fluid fabrics, rounded or tie collars, and puffed sleeves. Both can be worn at the office or on weekends.

What cut for a curvy silhouette?

A fluid and straight cut that falls from the shoulders without being tight suits all silhouettes. A long shirt, like a tunic, goes well with leggings. A V-neck and opened top buttons elongate the torso. Avoid overly fitted shirts that gape between the buttons.

A chic blouse for an occasion

For a ceremony or a dinner, a chic blouse in satin, crepe or chiffon, paired with fluid trousers or a midi skirt, can replace a dress. A solid and deep colour, such as black, burgundy or navy blue, along with golden jewellery, completes the outfit.

Which fabric to choose?

Viscose and crepe, being fluid, do not mark and are less prone to wrinkling. Cotton, more structured, breathes well in summer but requires ironing. Linen, light, is worn wrinkled on holiday. Chiffon, transparent, is worn over a camisole.

How to wear an oversized shirt?

Tucked in at the front into high-waisted trousers, open over a top like a light jacket, tied at the waist over a dress, or worn long over leggings. A white shirt is the most versatile of all.

How to choose the right size?

A shirt should not pull between the buttons at the chest: this is the first sign of a size that is too small. Measure your bust size, and check the shoulder width and sleeve length.

How to care for a shirt?

Wash viscose at 30 °C on a delicate cycle, hang it still damp on a hanger: it almost removes wrinkles by itself. Cotton should be ironed while slightly damp. Satin blouses prefer hand washing and a cool iron on the reverse side.

A bodysuit instead of a shirt?

For a top that stays in place, look at the plus-size bodysuits. The bodysuit can be worn under a jacket or high-waisted trousers without ever coming untucked.
