Plus Size Clothing Ideas for All Spring and Summer Events

Ah, springtime! Is there a lovelier season anywhere on the calendar? We think not — except for, we’ll concede, the season that follows it: summer. Sunny days, chilly nights (depending on your locale), blooming flowers, everything coming awake and alive and feeling fresh and free and easy — these are all the reasons we adore summer and spring.

Putting together spring and summer outfits if you’re plus-size (or any size!) can be easy and fun — we’ll show you how step-by-step. A good starting point can be to make a list of your favorite spring and summer activities; and then work through the list, making sure you have several outfit options ready to go (this number may depend on how often you do laundry, how much space you’ve got in your closet, what your budget looks like, and what your taste and sense of style dictates; we suggest having at least two complete outfits on hand that will work well for each activity, but it’s, of course, important to customize your outfit plans to your own particular needs and preferences).
