Plus size work suits and blazers  

Here at Love To Try, we think every professional woman needs to own a smart top-and-trousers set. It’s an undisputable work wardrobe staple, not to mention a solid investment for anyone who wants to make waves in the office. But what makes the suit and blazer combo such an attractive option for fuller figured ladies?

​

For starters, a well-fitting suit will work wonders with your curves. It will sit snugly against your best bits and balance out your proportions to create a smooth, slinky silhouette that oozes sophistication. Secondly, it will show your boss that you’re serious about climbing the ladder. After all, they say dress for the job you want, not the job you have, right? And lastly – and perhaps most importantly – a beautiful suit will make sure you don’t just look the part, but feel the part, too!

​

If you’d rather not purchase a full suit just yet, start by jazzing up your existing work outfit with a smart blazer. A light jacket with just enough structure will add a formal edge to any ensemble.

​

Our style advice:​

• When purchasing a suit or a blazer, go for quality over quantity. Cheaper fabrics will start to fade after multiple washes, so it’s best to invest in a smaller selection of durable pieces than a whole wardrobe of cheaper items

• Dark or neutral colours work best in formal environments

• Straight leg, bootcut and tailored trousers are the most flattering for curvier ladies

• Choose a soft shoulder fit to balance out a top-heavy shape
