Plus-Size Fall Fashion Guide

Weather alert: The change in season means a whole new way of dressing is heading our way. Plus-size gals sizzle in fall’s harvest of deep jewel tones, bodacious prints, slinky and sequined fabrics and easy-wearing, versatile shapes. - By Shannon McCarthy

Floral prints are as popular now as they were for spring and summer, but they're toned down with deeper blooms on darker backgrounds. Semi-sheer chiffon or shiny charmeuse shows off these status prints beautifully.

Bing Shopping: Blue Chambray

For weekend-casual think blue chambray long-sleeve button-downs — this cheery hue is bright enough to defy fall's darkening mood, but not so bright it looks like a leftover from last season.

Blouses and Shirts: Lace

Bing Shopping: Lace

Warm up chilly nights with sequin-dipped or jewel-toned stretch lace tops. Lace also rocks in smaller doses — Peter Pan collars, trim on cotton tunic tops or the lacy, ladylike look of crochet appliques.

Bing Shopping: Bows

Made of crisp cotton or sensuous silk (or blends of both), the bow blouse is a versatile wardrobe player, equally at home under a business-like blazer, or out on the town for dinner and drinks.

Bing Shopping: Colored Jeans

Check out the unabashed fun of fall's all-for-hue denim. Slender jeans rock this trend best — skip the typical blues and go straight for a fresh, of-the-moment take in deep burgundy, emerald green or dark orange.

Bing Shopping: Printed Jeans

Animal or reptile prints (leopard, cheetah, snakeskin) are fashionably fierce, while abstract prints add an urban edge to anything, and floral printed jeans are just plain pretty.

Jeans and Trousers: Flared Wool Trousers

Bing Shopping: Flared Wool Trousers

Mid-rise, flared-leg wool-blend trousers are always office-right, especially in go-with-everything black or charcoal grey. The key is to choose a gentle, not exaggerated, flare at the ankle to balance curvy hips.

Jeans and Trousers: Slim Knit Ankle Pants

Bing Shopping: Slim Knit Ankle Pants

On the opposite end of the shape spectrum from flared trousers, a few pairs of black slim-knit ankle pants (or more casual jeggings for the weekend) anchor all of your fall layered looks with sleek chic.

Bing Shopping: Sweater Dresses

Knits are a hot trend this fall, and there's no easier way to indulge than in a comfy, cozy sweater dress. Choose a frock with colorblocking or other vibrant pattern for a fresh look.

Dresses and Skirts: Wrap Dresses

Bing Shopping: Wrap Dresses

Oh so flattering, and (in long-sleeved versions) ideal for fall's chilly clime, choose dark wine-hued wrap dresses for day, and sequined or colored lace-based designs for evening.

Tight & short is NOT the way to go if you're fat.  Let's say it like it is.  A dress or skirt should fall @ least just below the knee (if you're fat) even if you have decent legs. 

And blouses (such as that beige silk one) look horrendous on a fat person.  It looks like something dragged out of the rummage in the back of a closet.  That blouse should have been covered with a sweater, jacket or vest.  It was much too short, as well.  The idea is to HIDE THE FAT, not display it.  Other outfits (blouses) which do not cling are much better.  Additionally, I don't care how young you are. No one wants to see those enormous fat legs.  Hide them please for your sake & ours.  A pencil or A-line skirt is a much better way to go than a flare.  Flare skirts on your fat will only make you look heavier.  And, that's the truth!  (Please, hide those fat knees.  Please.  Thank you.)  Remember ladies, you are NOT curvy (according to the kindness of the article.)  You are just plain FAT.  So, dress accordingly.  NO COMMENTS from the peanut gallery please. Thank you.
