Believe it or not, buying juniors plus size coats is not as simple as picking the first thing that fits off the rack. You do have to remember that choosing teen wear is not the same as choosing from the same style of the clothes that a more mature woman might find fashionable. Teenagers certainly have a different fashion sense. And although it may seem a bit unusual for a parent who’s footing the bill, you need to consider who these juniors plus size coats are for. Here is a guide to buying coats you know the younger ones will appreciate and wear.
Stick to the safest choices. What you think may be “cool” may not translate very well when it comes to teen fashion. You can play it safe by sticking to the classic styles, or to be more specific, choosing between leather and denim (jean) plus size coats. You can never really go wrong with these two. Vintage leather juniors plus size jackets are particularly appealing to girls with a bit of an edge, while denim coats (done in a current, trendy style) are always a good choice. Make sure though that you stay away from quilted leather coats, or those that have fur trimmings on the collar and the sleeves. These will only make the wearer look bigger than she really is.
Avoid nylon coats altogether. These may look great as windbreaker jackets, but generally only on those who are very slim to begin with. Nylon is rather billowy, and nylon coats are often made in attention-calling colors. Both of these factors combined may cause the wearer look 20 to 30 pounds heavier. Also make sure that the juniors plus size coats are plain in design or in darker colors. Try to avoid buying coats with loud appliques or large, colorful insignias. In this regard, a rather blank canvass will suit the wearer better, giving out a more slender form. This also gives the wearer the choice of personalizing the coat she wants to.
If you would rather not buy leather or denim, then try to buy darker colored coats instead. These are safe choices as well. Dark colored coats tend to blend well with any style of clothing, and can also make the person wearing them look leaner. Try to make sure that the coat is comfortably snug. Ill fitting coats or those that are too large or too small, can make the teenager look heavier. Besides, comfortable plus size coats with classic styling and design elements will stand the test of time – far beyond the junior or teenage years.
Some plus size stores, brands and retailers who offer fun and trendy juniors plus size coats include Torrid, Deb Plus, Lane Bryant, Avenue, Alight, JC Penney, and more. As the fashion industry becomes more and more accepting of plus size teens and juniors, the fashion possibilities – even in coats, jackets and outerwear – continue to grow!
