Best Plus Size Workwear Basics for Everyday Comfort
Comfort isn’t usually the first word that comes to mind in relation to workwear. Especially with plus size workwear. Since our options can be limited, we buy whatever we can find that’s appropriate. Then we spend all day adjusting our clothing because it doesn’t fit properly. We don’t even realize that workwear can be comfortable at all.
We talk about Comfortable Confidence around here because Vikki Vi Classics actually are comfortable and most of our styles are office appropriate. When your workwear is comfortable, you don’t even think about your clothing. You can be confident that you look professional even if you sit down or twist around to look behind you. This frees up a lot of mental energy that you can use for other things.
Pants
I’ve said it countless times - wearing Vikki Vi Pull On Pants feels like you’re wearing pajamas. But they certainly don’t look like it. Our fabrics are silky soft without being flimsy. The elastic waistband looks finished - sloppy, obvious elastic waistbands are a thing of the past. Our elastic waistband stays in place without binding.
When you consider Cost Per Wear, these will turn out to be the least expensive pants you’ve ever owned. They have a slightly relaxed fit so they won’t rub and wear out at the inner thighs. And the dye doesn’t fade in the wash. These pants will survive years of regular wear.
You’ll want several pairs in neutral colors, but you might want to snap up some more colorful ones, especially with a matching jacket. Speaking of…
Jackets
No matter how casual or formal your workplace is, you’re going to need at least one jacket that you can throw on to look just a bit more formal than usual. Vikki Vi’s Kimono Jackets (with long and duster-length versions) are popular thanks to their relaxed but elegant look. Vikki Vi also makes Blazers that will actually fit comfortably. Princess seams give our blazers the perfect amount of shaping.
Sleeveless Shells
If you’re going to wear a jacket all day, and you’re going for a suit-style outfit, a sleeveless shell is indispensable. A long sleeved top under a jacket can be bulky and uncomfortable. But a shell avoids that problem.
Shells are a great way to start experimenting with bold colors and prints. A neutral jacket tones down a bright shade for those of us who hesitate to wear loud colors. And if you’re like me and prefer to wear clothes that are A Bit Much, a neutral shell can ground an eye-catching jacket.
Tops
The jacket/shell combo is a bit formal for some workplaces, so that’s where tops come in. Vikki Vi makes Short Sleeve Tunics, as well as 3/4 Sleeve Tops, and Deep Scoop Neck Tops. These pair well with Pull On Pants, Slim Leg Pants, Wide Leg Pants, and pretty much any style of pants or skirt. These are the reliable tops you’ll want in several colors. But unlike other tees, they won’t be faded and pilly in a few months.
