Obviously your first consideration when buying a plus size winter coat is the warmth it will afford you in those cold winter months. And in that it’s a good bet that you will were it for several months a year for several years, you want something that looks pretty. You want the comfort of feeling all warm and cozy in sub zero temperatures and don’t want to look like a frump in your comfy plus size coats.
I know there is a tendency for a plus size women in search of plus size winter coats to buy them to hide her shape. But when you make an informed choice, the right plus size women’s coat can give a stylish look and leave a lasting first impression.
The first thing you should look for is a longer coat. Land’s End has a beautiful wool walking coat that offers both style and comfort. A longer coat will give a slimming look and is great for the office, around town, and especially out for the evening. Shorter coats are fine, perhaps something like plus size women’s wool pea coats, but make sure they aren’t bulky. Remember you want to keep with the slimmer look.
Let’s look at what might be best for your particular shape. Let’s say you are a woman who is larger on top. You might something that is (if you will pardon the pun) double-breasted. This draws attention away from your bust line. Single-breasted coats are better for women with bigger waists because it makes your waist look smaller. If you bigger on the bottom (and who isn’t?), look for a shawl coat with a large collar like Ulla Popkin’s fur trimmed hooded cape.
If you are not buying online but are rather seeking to purchase your plus size winter coat at a local store, there are a couple of things that you’ll want to keep in mind when trying the coats on. First, make sure that you wear a sweater or something you would normally use for winter wear underneath women’s plus size winter coats. You want to make certain your coat fits over whatever outfits you normally wear for cold weather. The danger is that once you snap the snaps, zip the zippers, or button the buttons, if the coat is too small it can actually make you look bigger.
Also make sure that the sleeves fit well. They should go just past your wrists. Anything shorter than that can, again, make you look larger than are. Do your research, figure out your personal style and you’ll find that buying plus size winter coats online can be a snap.
