Flattering and Functional: Plus Size Work Outfits That Wow

Flattering and Functional: Plus Size Work Outfits That Wow

Is it just me, or is it so hard in general to find functional plus size work outfits that are also flattering? I don’t know about you, but I find that there’s a lack of clothing that makes you say “Hey, I’m curvy and I look fabulous in this business outfit!”. They either make us look frumpy, dumpy or plain old lumpy, and it's a real shame, not allowing us to look and feel our best at work.

Thank goodness for Adrift, who have some killer plus size office outfits that are well made, highly functional and offer an excellent selection of corporate attire for plus size women like us. Check it out.

Choosing Stylish Plus Size Work Outfits

When it comes to plus size work outfits, it's all about finding the right balance between formal and casual. Plus size corporate attire is perfect for work environments that aren't strictly formal but also not too casual. Curve workwear allows you to show your individual style while still looking professional. 

Plus size business outfits, which include flattering clothes for plus size figures, can be both stylish and comfortable. Take a look at the gorgeous Wendy Poplin Wrap Dress in Black as a perfect example. This a-line midi with its two piece collar and back elasticated waistband is both professional and flattering for the plus sized business woman. It also comes in bottle green and navy, so you can add a splash of colour and still keep it slick.   

Various Ways to Style Plus Size Work Outfits

Now that we know how to choose plus size work outfits, let’s look at putting them together. A good rule of thumb is to mix a formal piece with more casual items. For example, you could take the Amari Palazzo Pant in Sanctuary and pair it with a more casual blouse such as the Sam Cotton Poplin Shirt in White. This ties in the formal element (pants) with the more casual piece (blouse) nicely.


The best thing about creating  “wow-worthy” clothes for curvy figures is it can be both fun and professional. Start with plus size corporate attire that includes a well-fitted blazer, which is essential for most office environments. Mixing and matching wardrobe staples, like tailored blouses and trousers, creates a versatile look.
Incorporate curve workwear with layers and accessories to add dimension to your outfit. Plus size business outfits should feature flattering clothes for plus size figures, such as trousers in core colours like black, navy, or grey. Don’t be afraid to experiment with colours and patterns; a pop of colour or an interesting texture can add some spunk to  your look. 
Experimenting with colours and patterns is one way to create office wear for curvy ladies that’ll make heads turn. Imagine wearing this drop-dead stunning Remi Short Dress in Green Poplin at the office. It’s slightly whimsical and playful, yet stays professional at the same time. Pair it with some booties in warmer weather, and if it's cold, add some neutral leggings underneath to keep you warm without taking away from the colourful vibes it brings to your outfit. 
Incorporating layers and accessories to your staple work outfits is another way to add your personality to your plus size corporate attire. For example, a simple pearl necklace against a black or navy midi featuring an open neckline always works well. If you need something less formal for your workplace, ditch the pearls and go for something chunky and funky instead. Same midi, but a totally different office vibe.
