Here is where to buy minimalist clothes for curvy women

The Daily Life asked where to buy minimalist clothes for curvy women, I couldn’t have agreed more with the post. This is my style. This simple, pared-back, cool pieces that aren’t kitschy or overtly sexy or girly. Where are these retailers? Who is catering to the women in plus who don’t want to dress up, who want fashionable clothes that are classic and chic?

Where are they?

I loved the article. It summed up how I felt entirely about the problem with being this consumer in the market flooded with girly-girl offerings. And yes, I followed a couple of new Instagram accounts for brands I hadn’t heard of. The thing is that I HAVE found the places I like to shop for these items.

And the good news for us locals is that a large chunk of them are Aussie owned labels. My first response was to tweet that they forgot my favourites 17 Sundays. The 17 Sundays team responded with a tweet that suggested that SOME Aussie selections might have been a good idea for the post. They were SO right.

Here are my suggestions for where to buy minimalist clothing for curvy women.

17 Sunday - Australia Extended Size Clothing Brand

17 Sundays

It’s no secret that when it comes to this brand I rely heavily on their items to fill my wardrobe. Between the brand relationship and the money I personally spend, my wardrobe is 17 heavy, let’s face it. And it’s because their style overlaps so nicely with my own. You want cool pieces that are fashion in a way that fashion is so under-represented in plus, start here. And their BASIC range, well I live in it for its simplicity and functionality. And because it makes me feel cool. Shop 17 Sundays here.

A long time favourite brand on the blog, Hope & Harvest deliver everyday pieces you can wear from hanging out in the park to a corporate work environment.

Harlow Australia

When Harlow launched I was excited to finally have found a provided that made a simple moto-pant for plus women, pencil skirts and wrap dresses for work. Simple, classic styles that I wore time and time again. They have developed their range and now cover a lot of bases, but the core of simplicity is still there. Now incorporating denim, what more could you want!? Shop Harlow Australia.

 

You’re welcome, team. As always, I’ve got your back. But I’m not sure this is the last on the topic that you’ll hear from me… This topic is a bit of a bee in my bonnet. All I want is simple, cool, beautifully made clothes that are stylish and classic. Is that so much to ask? I don’t think so.

 

Introducing Meri by Design

Introducing Meri by Design

Brought to you by Meri by Design

I was saying to a friend the other day how incredibly proud it makes me seeing the standard and quality of the items being created and brought to market by the Australian plus-size fashion brands. Beautifully made, crafted pieces for the plus-size woman who wants to be stylish, modern and cool. Today’s feature Meri by Design is one of those brands, a luxe label boasting amazing pieces to add a little sophistication to your wardrobe.

I was feeling a little nervous about creating this post after seeing the amazing outfit created by Liv in the sequin cape. Then came the stellar Instagram photos by the Queen of Instagram herself Ashley Rose. It left me wondering how exactly I could incorporate my Meri by Design piece into an outfit that hadn’t been seen before. On more than one occasion I threw on the cape over a dress or jeans for dinner and once for a family lunch. It wasn’t until I noticed I could pull it all the way around that I worked out how I wanted to style it.

As a wrap top tucked into a high-waisted skirt. Let’s face it, not many items could stand up to the drama that this top creates, the print, the style, the luxe feel… Only one skirt would do the job. Mel’s faux leather wrap skirt from ASOS. Even if it was a million degrees and that thing is lined with fleece. A girl has to suffer for fashion sometimes. Especially if that girl wants to knock ’em dead. Don’t you think?

Now you’ve seen how I wear mine, you can check out some of the items that you could make yours. Meri by Design is an uniquely positioned brand that can be described as high-end, luxury with a classic, effortless feel. The pieces would be just as at home paired with dressy thongs as it is with strappy heeled sandals for a night out. Pieces like this will be a wardrobe staple for years to come. The team at Meri by Design says their mission is to design clothes to excite with charm and class. Mission accomplished, right? Goooorgeous.
