I bet you have been in this situation. You take some time out of your busy schedule and you go to a high end party. While you are mingling with everyone you spot a plus size woman with a dress that you just would love to own. You are also plus size women and you know how difficult it could be to find such a dress. Not only is the dress fierce, you notice that she has all the necessary accessories to set off the look. Here shoes are prefect and have the right accent colors to make the dress stand out. She also has multiple jewelry items to show a little ice. You know that she took a lot of time to put that outfit together. You start to follow the women around the party to ask her where she purchased the dress but before you could stop her she heads for the exit and she gets here coat. The coat if in shambles and has a lot to be desired. To you she just messed up the entire outfit and turns you off from even wanting to find out more about the outfit. Are you surprised that a coat can do so much damage to a outfit? Well, it can and most women dont take the time to finish off the look of an outfit by spending time to pick a coat to match the outfit.

She forgot the golden rule. The coat is just as important as the entire outfit. When picking a outfit make sure to look at the entire ensemble and also what kind of coat that you would plan to wear with the outfit. In other words a plus size coat can make or break an outfit. The wrong coat as in the last example can detract from the outfit and move eyes away from the good parts of the outfit back to the unattractive parts. This is not good. The messy plus size coat can attract negative energy that can in effect draw negative people to you. Would you want this kind of company? I know I would not want that kind of company.

So how should you look at a plus size coat? Well, of course the coat needs to match the outfit. The color scheme needs not clash with the underline color scheme of your outfit. For example would you wear a pin striped suit and a pokadot coat or vice versa. That is definitely a clash that would not go over very well.

Next you want to wear the appropriate length coat. For example you may want to wear a full length plus size coat with any suit, especially if you trying to look professional. If you’re wearing a dress and your trying to show off a little leg then you may want to consider a 3/4 length coat. Jeans are a different story. A good combination for jeans would be something like a plus size pea coat. The materials of pea coats are perfect for jeans.

I want to leave you with this. As I said before, plus size coats are just a important as the entire outfit. Forgetting to plan can be just a devastating as not putting together a great looking ensemble.
