Plus-size women's jacket, short and casual
The women's plus size jacket is a short jacket, fitted at the waist with an elastic or ribbed band: bomber, aviator jacket, denim jacket, faux leather. It gives a relaxed look to both a dress and jeans.
A bomber is worn open over a sweatshirt or t-shirt.
Which jacket to choose?
The bomber, made of shiny nylon or satin, with ribbed edges at the collar, cuffs, and waist, is the most worn jacket. The aviator jacket, often lined, keeps you warmer. The timeless denim jacket is great for mid-season. The leather effect gives a rock vibe.
A jacket for a curvy silhouette?
The short jacket stops at the waist or hips: it highlights the legs and looks great with high-waisted trousers or a midi skirt. Worn open, it creates two vertical lines that elongate the torso. A dark colour is the easiest to wear, and a high collar structures the upper body.
Jacket or long coat?
The jacket has a younger, more casual look; the long coat offers more coverage and warmth. For mid-season, the jacket is enough; for winter, a padded jacket or coat takes over.
How to wear a plus-size jacket?
Open over a hoodie for an urban style, over a flowy dress for a feminine contrast, or with jeans and trainers for everyday wear. A long t-shirt that shows underneath the jacket balances the silhouette.
Which material to choose?
Nylon, lightweight and water-repellent, withstands light rain. Denim, more rigid, ages well over time. The leather effect, made from synthetic material, can be cleaned with a damp sponge. A jacket lined with warm material can be worn until late autumn.
Choosing the right size
The jacket should close without pulling on the bust and allow arm movement. The waistband shouldn't be tight. Measure your bust size and allow a little extra room for a sweater underneath.
How to care for a jacket?
Nylon washes at 30 °C, with zips closed; denim should be washed inside out, in cold water, to keep its colour. The leather effect can be cleaned with a damp sponge, not in the machine. Hang the jacket on a wide hanger, with the zip closed, to maintain its shape.

Is a leather effect jacket easy to maintain?

It pulls at the back when you cross your arms, or the sleeves ride up. Go for a size up.
