12 Sizzling Plus Size Summer 2023 Outfits

Do you have big fashion plans for this summer? This season is an exciting time for fashion, with bold prints, sheer fabrics and bright colours taking centre stage.

And it will be equally as interesting to see just how each summer trend will be translated through different styles and genres. This summer, we encourage you to take risks with your style to create the coolest looks.

Whether you have your outfits planned out or are currently looking for warm weather clothing for curvy girls, we have crafted some summer outfit style inspiration that will have you excited to get dressed. Each outfit will showcase a summer trend we are really excited about.

And before we get into these thrilling plus size boutique outfits, throw out any of the rules you’ve been following around plus size fashion because they don’t apply here!

Let’s dive in!

Mix and Match

Prints and patterns are used in the most refreshing way this season. They are being mixed and matched together or two prints are often found in one garment.

While this sounds busy, it’s the summer’s hottest trend. When mixing and matching two patterns, find one common colour in both prints or patterns to tie the look together and keep accessories to a minimum.

If mixing patterns isn’t your strong suit, start with stripes. You could pair a horizontal stripe crop top with a skirt that boasts vertical stripes.

Mixed stripe looks are also very flattering!

Colour Blocking

Because this summer is all about bold and bright colours, this makes for some interesting opportunities to colour block. Style plus size maxi dresses that boast two tones or pair two different pieces of clothing together to create a colour-blocked look.

Tie-Dye

Whether it was a TikTok trend or a hobby for some while in quarantine, tie-dye garments are here to stay for summer. Whether you did a DIY tie-dye hoodie at home or you shopped for plus size tie-dye dresses, throw on your favourite tie-dye piece to brighten up your summer day.

Silk

Light and airy dresses are having a major moment this summer, and along those lines are silk slip dresses. While silk dresses may be reserved for special events or a formal occasion, the silk slip dress is being worn with sneakers or underneath a light sweater this season.

Challenge yourself to wear that slip dress in your closet that you are saving for a special night to brunch or out for a day of errands.

Head to Toe Neutrals

While bright colours rule the season, there is still definitely space for neutral looks, which are a statement within themselves. Do you have a favourite neutral colour that looks great on your skin tone—beige, deep tan, dark brown, olive green?

If so, try creating a head to toe look with that single colour. For example, a beige sweater dress with a tie waist is simple but impactful and the tie waist—also a huge trend for summer—defines your shape.

Make It a Tie Waist

If you’re looking for a fun and unique way to highlight your curves this summer, prioritise blouses or dresses that tie at the waist—not just a small cinch, but actual material that ties at the front as if you were to wrap a sweatshirt around your waist. This look is feminine and edgy and it does wonders for your curves!

Oversized Band Tees

It’s what the teens are wearing these days! But no, really, oversized band t-shirts are all you need to master this summer trend.

Throw on your favourite pair of destroyed denim or some biker shorts and a pair of heels or sneakers–whatever the occasion calls for. We call this look “too cool to give a damn.”

All Black Everything

Just because the sun is out and bold colours are in doesn’t mean we are abandoning all-black ensembles and the power they bring to a wardrobe. Take your black outfits and spice them up for summer with gold accent jewellery and a pair of statement heels or sandals.

One look we love is a black cropped top with black ripped skinny jeans and a pair of strappy heels.

Shoulders Out

This summer, it’s all about the shoulders. Whether you wear an off the shoulder dress or a one-shoulder crop top, this is the perfect way to achieve a stylish look and show some skin.

Pair your one-shoulder crop top with midi satin slip skirts, mini skirts or ripped denim.

Matching Sets

Opposite of mix and match outfits, matching sets are also something you’ll be seeing a lot of. A matching crop top and maxi skirt make for the perfect summer look.

We love that this outfit requires minimal effort and doesn’t require much thought or styling.

Jumpsuits

If you are looking for a quick outfit you can throw on in a hurry, but one that doesn’t lack style or impact, a jumpsuit will be your best bet. Throw on a pair of heels, some statement jewellery and your favourite handbag for a look that will allow you to handle whatever the day has in store for you.

Faux Leather

Just because it’s hot out, does that mean that faux leather is out of the picture? Apparently not.

This season, faux leather is a huge trend and it spans across jumpsuits, bralettes and skirts. Incorporate a faux leather crop top or bralette into a look with jeans or flowy pants for the perfect summer look.

Which outfit do you think you’ll tackle first? Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and sport something that you never thought you would.

Clothing has the power to a jumpsuit will be your best bet. So take chances with your wardrobe and style to watch your radiance ignite!
