Big Girl in a Skinny World: Best Denim Pieces

Big Girl in a Skinny World: Best Denim Pieces

Hello Ladies,

Fashion week was a whirlwind—I only just made it back to Miami. I’ll be covering the European shows from the comfort of my couch and will be reporting on the latest trends off the runways. In the meantime, I’ll be stocking up on items for my spring wardrobe.

PLUS, see more of the MC fashion team's favorite runway trends:


One of my favorite trends off the spring runways was denim—and I’m not just talking pants. There were denim dresses, denim shirts, and denim jackets in numerous shows. I already picked up a great light wash denim oversized men’s shirt, perfect for pairing with leggings and a great pair of heels. Evan’s has a great Blue Denim Shirt. If you’re looking for ways to infuse this denim trend into your wardrobe, try a jacket or a vest. One of my favorite vests is the Studded Crop Denim Vest from New York and Company. It can be easily worn over just about any shirt or a great dress. Another great option: a jean jacket. I have found quite a few that I could easily integrate into my wardrobe. ASOS CURVE has a Dark Western Denim Jacket ideal for layering. Also worth checking out is Old Navy’s Plus Cropped Denim Jacket, which comes in both a smoke gray and a dark wash. I’ll be wearing mine all through spring!

Denim and khakis, denim and dresses, denim and leggings. This is definitely one trend that is plus size friendly. What are your thoughts on this springs denim trend? Do you have a great denim jacket suggestion? I’d love to hear from you! Oh and by the way, I will be on Rachael Ray this Wednesday, so be sure to tune in!
