Plus Size Summer Style Guide: Stay Cool, Look Chic

Summer months can make it challenging to stay stylish while battling the heat — especially for plus-size women. But with the right fabric and cut, you can stay cool and look great. At Vervegrand, our summer collection for sizes 42-68 offers designs made from breathable, non-sweat-inducing fabrics.

Best Fabrics for Summer

When it comes to plus-size summer clothing, fabric choice is paramount:

• Viscose: The number one choice for summer. Breathable, non-sweat-inducing, lightweight. Our viscose dress models are summer favorites.
• Crinkled fabric (Bürümcük): Ultra-light and airy. The coolest fabric option for hot weather.
• Linen blend: A classic summer fabric with natural breathability.
• Cotton jersey: A light and flexible option for everyday wear.

Fabrics to avoid: Polyester (makes you sweat), scuba (thick and hot), thick knit (winter fabric).

Plus Size Summer Dress Models

The most practical piece for summer is the dress. You can easily get through hot days with the comfort of wearing a single piece:

• Midi-length loose dresses: Loose cuts that don't cling to the body and allow air circulation are the coolest option.
• Sleeveless or short-sleeved models: Provide air circulation in the shoulder and arm areas.
• Floral print dresses: Floral patterns that reflect the spirit of summer offer a vibrant and cheerful look.
• Wrap dresses: Offer an airy cut while maintaining waist emphasis. Suitable for both daily wear and dinner.

Summer Outfit Suggestions

• Beach outfit: Floral viscose dress + straw hat + sandals.
• City summer outfit: Linen blend blouse + white plus-size pants + espadrilles.
• Dinner out: Solid color midi dress + statement earrings + heeled sandals.
• Picnic/outing: Oversize T-shirt + shorts or midi skirt + sneakers.

Tips for Dressing Without Sweating in Summer

1. Choose loose cuts: Clothes that cling to the body increase sweating. Loose, A-line, and trapeze cuts allow air circulation.
2. Wear light colors: Colors like white, cream, light blue, and powder reflect sunlight and keep you cool.
3. Choose natural fabrics: Viscose, cotton, and linen fabrics minimize sweating compared to synthetics.
4. Avoid layering: In summer, single-layer, one-piece garments are the best choice.
5. Colors that don't show sweat stains: White and very light colors can show sweat stains. Medium tones or patterned fabrics solve this problem.
