10 Plus-Size Trends For A Fashion-Forward Fall
Call us impatient, but we’ve been shopping for our fall ‘14 wardrobe since there was still snow on the ground. (Blame the runway schedule, not us.) While it might still be too steamy to wear wool, and donning leather in these temps will bake you silly in an instant, it’s never too early to start putting together a shopping game plan.
From coats that bring more drama than Bravo’s housewives to print mixes that’ll give you a case of the dizzies, this fall is filled with eye-catching trends that can land you on any of Best Of The #OOTDs roundup. We’ve put together a checklist of trends for size 14 and up women that you can shop now, and wear immediately after the first cold snap.
