Plus-size women's T-shirts, long or basic
The women's plus size t-shirt is a wardrobe staple: basic white or black t-shirt, long style that covers the hips, V-neck that elongates the bust, printed t-shirt for the weekend. Made from soft cotton, it can be worn on its own or under a jacket.
A long t-shirt can be worn over leggings or slim jeans.
Which plus-size t-shirt to choose?
The basic t-shirt, plain, goes with everything and under any jacket. The long t-shirt, which falls below the hips, goes well with leggings. The oversized t-shirt, loose and casual, can be tucked in at the front into jeans. The printed t-shirt, with a pattern or message, adds a personal touch to a simple outfit.
V-neck or round neck?
The V-neck elongates the neck and visually lightens a generous bust. The round neck, more classic, is worn under a V-neck jumper or an open shirt. A boat neck, wide, exposes the shoulders and highlights the upper bust.
What sleeve length?
Short sleeves, stopping above the elbow, are suitable for summer. Long sleeves cover the arms from autumn and can be worn under a jumper when the cold sets in. Three-quarter sleeves cover the upper arm while remaining light.
What fabric for a comfortable t-shirt?
Cotton is soft, breathable, and pleasant for everyday wear. A thick cotton keeps its shape and doesn’t show underwear. A jersey with a bit of elastane hugs the shape without being tight. Organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides, is suitable for sensitive skin.
How to wear a plus-size t-shirt?
Tucked in at the front of high-waisted trousers to define the waist, worn long over leggings, or under a denim jacket or blazer for a smarter look. A white t-shirt under a dark jacket brightens the face.
Choosing the right size
A t-shirt should neither cling to the bust nor be baggy: the shoulder seams should sit on the shoulder. For an oversized effect, take one size up. Measure your bust measurement and compare it to the size chart of the model.
How to care for a t-shirt?
Wash it inside out, at 30 or 40 °C, with similar colours. The tumble dryer shortens and distorts it: dry it on a hanger instead to limit ironing, and wash white t-shirts separately to keep their brightness.
T-shirt or tank top?
For summer and layering, check out the plus-size tank tops. The tank top can be worn alone in hot weather or under an open shirt.
When to find discounted plus-size t-shirts?
