Looking for the perfect plus size summer outfits? It’s time to stop settling and start styling! At Undersummers, we create clothes that keep you cool, confident, and chafe-free—without sacrificing style. This guide breaks down how to dress for the heat while feeling your absolute best.
What Defines Plus Size Summer Style?
Summer style should be easy and effortless, but plus size women often deal with extra fabric, poor fit, or uncomfortable materials. We believe plus size summer fashion should celebrate your curves, allow movement, and keep you cool. It's not just about fit—it's about freedom.
Top Silhouettes for Midsize & Plus Frames
Choose silhouettes that float over the body while offering a little structure. A-line skirts, empire-waist dresses, wide-leg linen pants, and bike shorts with longline tanks are all winners. Balance is key: a flowy top with fitted bottoms, or vice versa, keeps your look modern and flattering.
Layering Smart: From Shortlettes® to Light Kimonos
Layering doesn’t have to mean overheating. Our Shortlettes® are breathable and sweat-wicking, perfect under dresses to prevent thigh rub. Toss on a sheer kimono or loose mesh button-up over a tank dress to add style without extra heat.
Summer Prints & Colors That Pop
Bright colors and bold prints are a great way to express personality. Look for florals, tropical patterns, and playful polka dots. Feeling more neutral? Soft blush, sandy beige, and olive green all feel fresh and sophisticated for summer.
Accessories That Elevate
Keep it simple with breathable extras: straw hats, fabric headbands, rattan bags, and slides or strappy sandals. Avoid heavy jewelry that sticks to the skin—opt for lightweight earrings or a colorful cuff.
