Plus size boleros for formal events

A plus size bolero is ideal for formal occasions, such as weddings, family gatherings, or special parties. If you don't like having your arms on show, this is a great choice - cute and concealing, it's a real win-win! A lace bolero may be the most classic of all options. This reveals a hint of your skin for a classy look that has just a touch of sexiness.

Of course, a bolero looks great worn over a sleeveless dress. You could choose a bolero in the same color for a tone-on-tone look that's chic and elegant. For something bolder and more playful, go for a bolero in a complementary color. If your dress has a pattern, try matching the bolero to one of the colors in it. This is a great way to look fabulously well put together!

Taking a plus size bolero out after dark

Plus size boleros are also great for evening wear. They can instantly glam up an outfit, taking it from casual to sophisticated. For example, choosing to wear a bolero with your jeans and tank top, instead of a denim or leather jacket, creates a classier, more feminine look that instantly takes a regular outfit from day to night.

A bolero also works well when worn with a sleeveless a jumpsuit, particularly one with straight or tapered legs. For eveningwear, look for boleros with special details like sequins or glittery fabric. This really amps up the level of sophistication, giving you a boost of elegance.

Frequently asked questions about our plus size boleros for women

What style of plus size bolero is most flattering to my figure?

If you have a pear shape, try wearing a plus size bolero that fastens just at the base of the neck. These often have a cute button or tie detail at the center front. Wearing one of these provides some balance to the lower half of your body, drawing the eye upward. Girls with an apple shape can try a slightly looser bolero that skims the body, which helps to minimize your midsection. For hourglass figures or busty girls, go for an open-front bolero that has no fastening. This is the most flattering style for a larger bust.

How should I take care of my plus size bolero?

Plus size bolero jackets can be made from any kind of fabric, so care instructions will vary. Always check the label carefully, especially if your bolero has an unusual finish with lace, sequins, or glitter. Take particular care when washing lace as it can snag on buttons or zippers from other garments when in the washer. You might want to put it inside a lingerie bag just to be on the safe side.

What style of plus size bolero is best for a wedding?

If you're the bride, congratulations! A white lace plus size bolero is traditional and has a timeless appeal. Use a tone that matches your gown, which might be ivory, cream, or off-white. Lace boleros also look great for wedding guests, as they work really well with formal outfits. In this case, don't go for white - it looks too bridal. Black is a no-no, too. Instead, choose a lace bolero in a color that goes with your outfit, and you'll look radiant and stylish in all the wedding photos!
