Plus Size Denim Shirts for Women

Cool and casual, a plus size denim shirt is a great choice when you want to look and feel relaxed. Wear one on its own, or layer it over a cami or tank for a fun look. For those days when you just don't feel like getting dressed up, throw on a denim shirt and get some instant cool!

The layered look with plus size denim shirts

A plus size denim shirt is great as the basis of a fun spring or summer outfit. It's perfect for those days when a jacket would be too hot, but you don't want to go out in just a tee, either! For a simple but classic look, wear your denim shirt with a cute tank and a pair of chinos. In summer, swap the chinos out for crop pants for great hot weather style.

When layering a denim shirt, either leave it completely open or just do up a few buttons. This is a great way of getting that casual chic vibe and lets you show off the details on your tank. For a more relaxed style, be sure to roll up the sleeves on your shirt, creating cuffs that sit under your elbow. If the weather is chilly, add a scarf wound loosely around your neck. Take care when knotting it to avoid the kerchief look. Denim can look too cowgirl if you're not careful.

Staying feminine with plus size denim shirts

As denim is a popular unisex choice, keep the rest of your outfit girly for feminine fun. For example, you can look flirty and cute by wearing a lace-trimmed cami underneath your plus size denim shirt. For a more feminine style, try wearing your denim shirt with a skirt that hits at or above the knee. In this case, you don't need to layer. Make sure your shirt has a relaxed, loose fit, then tuck or half-tuck it into a fitted skirt. Wear with sneakers to keep it casual, or dress it up with heels for a charming, fun daytime look.

Frequently asked questions about our plus size denim shirts for women

How should I take care of my plus size denim shirts?

Like other denim garments, plus size denim shirts can be machine washed and are very easy to look after. However, there's one handy tip to remember. Before putting your shirt in the washer, turn it inside out and do up the buttons or snaps. This will stop the color from fading or running, helping your denim shirt to last longer.

How can I stop my plus size denim shirt from gaping at the bust?

The struggle is real! Every busty girl has experienced gape between buttons. Luckily, denim shirts are usually designed for an oversized, loose fit and shouldn't be tight in the bust. This makes them easier to wear than other button-down shirts. If you find that yours is still gaping, take the opportunity to layer up. Put on a tank underneath, then leave the top buttons of your plus size denim shirt open.

How can I use my plus size denim shirt for a double denim look?

Carefully! Double denim can look great, but it's quite tricky to pull off. The key here lies in choosing garments of different colors. Tone-on-tone denim will leave you at the risk of looking like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in the early '00s! However, a gray plus size denim shirt can be worn with blue jeans or black jeans with a blue shirt. If your double denim look is subtle enough, it can be fabulous. Remember, though: double denim is possible, but triple denim is not!
