Plus Size White Wrap Blouse

A plus size white wrap blouse is an easy, neutral top that full-figured women can wear with just about anything. White shirts are very versatile. When you pair this versatility with a wrap-style top, you're choosing a flattering garment. Wrap shirts almost always feature V-necks, which work well for elongating any figure.

A Blouse for All Seasons

A white wrap top can take you through most of the year, depending on its fabric. A lightweight, cotton plus size white wrap blouse, either with short sleeves or sleeveless, is a smart choice for spring and summer. For fall and winter, three-quarter to full-length sleeves can combine with a heavier material such as knit jersey, for a blouse you can wear to work and on the weekends.

Ways to Wear a Wrap Blouse

For the most flattering and fashionable looks, consider these outfit suggestions:

• For warm weather: A sleeveless wrap top pairs well with skirts, shorts and slacks. A white one works great with everything. Just make sure the materials are complementary. For instance, don't pair a cotton wrap top with jersey fabric shorts; better options are cotton, khaki, linen or denim. A floaty summer skirt, open-toed sandals and a white wrap blouse make a simple, cool outfit that will take you to the movies, to a picnic or on a date.
• With jeans: Jeans and a white wrap top create a casual outfit that's perfect for many non-dressy occasions. You can wear sneakers, but consider other shoes as well to jazz up this easy ensemble. Add a splash of color with metallic or bright shoes, a patterned silk scarf worn around your neck or with your jewelry. When wearing such a simple outfit, use your shoes, handbags and accessories to kick your style up a notch.
• In cool weather: Unless you live in a warm climate, cotton tops are usually put away for fall and winter. If you have wrap blouses in jersey knit or sweater material, these will work for cold weather. Some fashion traditionalists still eschew white in winter, so if you're a stickler for style rules, consider winter white, cream or ivory tops instead.
• For work: You can wear a white wrap blouse with skirts or slacks. You can also wear a vest or sweater vest over it for some preppy chic. Because a white top is so basic, use accessories to add some flair. Plaid and checkered bottoms add visual interest when your shirt is plain.
• Dressy events: If you score a white wrap blouse in a luxurious material like silk or organza, you can wear this top for cocktail parties or after-five events. Large ruffles and jeweled embellishments add to the elegance and are appropriate for special occasion dressing. A long, flowing skirt in heavy silk, chiffon or taffeta is the perfect accompaniment, but for less formal venues, velvet or silk slacks would also work well.

Buying a Plus Size White Wrap Blouse

Look into these retailers who cater to the plus size market for a selection of white wrap blouses:

• Kiyonna
• OneStopPlus
• Chique Plus
• Avenue

To ensure the best fit, make sure you buy a top that doesn't reveal too much. With wrap blouses, you sometimes have to rely on hidden safety pins to make sure your bra and too much cleavage don't wind up on display. Sewing in a simple snap closure is one way to make sure your wrap top always keeps things under wraps! If you shop in a plus size store in person, you can see how well the top fits over your bust, but if you shop online, pay attention to the schematics at the website so that you get a top that fits you well.

Smart Dressing

White shirts are usually incredibly versatile. Having a collection of them – in different styles, sleeve lengths and fabrics – will help you quickly and easily grab something on those mornings you're in a rush. They combine well with other garments, making them a perfect neutral piece to have in your wardrobe.
