Ah Summer.
Lazy warm days, Ice cream & Popsicles, Splashing in the pool, sun kissed skin, beachy hair 🙂

Us in Singapore experience summer 9 out of the 12 months in a year so we are very familiar with the climate. Of course, I wish we experienced the 4 seasons because it gives us something to look forward to. But it’s nice when the rest of the world (except for Aus & NZ) basks in summer together with us.
Fashion sure works in our favour then as well 😉

Having said that, not all of us plus sized folk are comfortable in summer wear. Shorts, camisoles, racer back tees..it can make a plus sized girl feel self conscious.

But, thanks to the burgeoning plus size community and fashion industry, we are seeing a sea change. We have more options. Sure, I like wearing a pair of shorts or overalls on a sunny day but there are somedays I’d like something different.

I was approached by Alight.com – a company that prides itself in having the world’s largest collection of plus size clothing – to share with my readers their blog post on summer fashion trends for 2014.

A plus size guide to summer fashion trends? I’m in!

I always keep a keen eye out on seasonal trends or flavours of the month and I’d missed out on doing a blog post on Spring fashion so I’m glad to make up for that.

Note : I don’t gain anything from this, it’s just for you guys to get some fashion tips for this season.

Here are a few clothing items I wear during summer :

  1. Awe I wish you had all of the seasons !!! I’m from NYC so I got all of them respectively. Even as I moved to the nations captiol still got all seasons. All Of the east coast I’ve lived in was the same some less harsh. so I wore from rain gear to booty shorts. Now Moved to the west. To a state where it’s hot ALL the time. Their winter is still not cold. So I have to be on the hunt for shorts light colored clothes. I just woke up it’s like 98 degrees. A camisole and a skirt,floppy hat and giant sunshades are on my agenda for wearing today. Honey I hope you get to wear bootyshorts and swim gear a floppy hat and sun shades and enjoy the weather. You would look just perfect. Or it’s time to go on a trip so you can feel better in that stuff when you see others. This sight is cool I look for other places to buy shorts. I know Singapore is just right weather wise so baby steps you shall have to take. . Believe me you will freeze digging out of snow storms. Lol feel better.
