I know, it’s Queensland and usually, I avoid doing these plus size jackets posts. I hate seeking out all these gorgeous pieces and then never getting to buy or wear them. Queensland life means that for one’ish month a year I need a decent jacket, the rest of the year a jumper will do. It’s a hard life, you know? Haha.
BUT.
Buuuuuut I’m trying to be a little more responsive and a little less all about me. Trust me, it won’t hurt me to try. Haha. So, I started searching and putting together a list. Some are winter at a Queensland level type of coat or jacket. Others, are legit “it’s cold and I need actual warmth” style.
I find the biggest challenge when looking for a plus size jacket or coat is that usually, they are all black, all the time. Now, I love black, but not everyone does. There’s a case to be made for having something a little more versatile like a tan, nude or grey. This year, I’ll be picking up a grey coat to replace the one I lost. It will work with my predominately black wardrobe and add a much-needed layer of colour. So, with that in mind, I’ve tried to source some great black alternatives where I could.

Hi! I’m Suger and I’m the Chief Blogger here. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, build websites, write copy and create social media plans for people. This is my blog where I share my life and the things that interest me. It’s been living its best life on the interwebs since 2009.
I’ve got a couple of great coats from Hell Bunny. So cute but they are high waisted and small fitting. One of them won’t button over my boobs. I also got a great faux leather jacket from Crossroads a few years ago. About 20 bucks and still going strong. I wear that pretty much constantly.
Do you know the Hell Bunny size range off the top of your head? I was just thinking, I don’t think they’re on my plus fashion directory… If they do a reasonable range, I should add them. And yaaaas! There are some gems to be found in Crossroads sometimes, that sounds like such a score.
They go up to a 4xl which I think is meant to be around a 24 but because most of their clothes are that vintage nipped in waist style, if you’re an apple shape, you’d need to go up a couple of sizes.
Ahhhh, okay. Thank you. I’ll add it to the list. 24 is extended enough to qualify, I’ll add a note about the fit.
Any denim jacket finds this season? I’m looking for a lovely blue wouldn’t mind stretchy? 🖤
Actually, leave it with me, I’ll take a look and see what I can come up with. FUN!
