Dorothy Perkins (site: www.dorothyperkins.com) has done exactly the same, with new large clothes for the plus size community that are set to see a brand new, confident you. The nautical trend that we saw appear last spring and summer is set to make a big comeback this spring, and so be ahead of the crowd and grab yourself some nautical gear. Think luxurious cruises and exotic destinations to inspire your creative side when it comes to this trend. Dorothy Perkins (site: www.dorothyperkins.com) have some great nautical style large clothes from their new arrivals to start you off. This black/white bow stripe dress is perfect for this spring. At £32, it's decently priced for a new arrival. It's available in up to a size 22. The nipped in waist with attached bow turns this into a girly outfit, and accentuates your waist perfectly. The thin stripes are flattering on figures, and the the three quarter sleeves mean you can wear this in spring and not get too hot, while still fighting the evening breeze. Black and white are very fashionable when worn together, so use your imagination and emphasis with bold accessories and jewelery. This dress will look equally great with heels for a dressed up look or with flats for a smart and chic casual look. The dress is already looking popular, especially in the large sizes, so order now to avoid disappointment! A good idea for this spring is to mix nautical pieces with Manhattan style. Dorothy Perkins (site: www.dorothyperkins.com) is currently advertising a feature which helps customers create the perfect uptown, New York look. This has been inspired from the amazingly popular hit US tv show Gossip Girl (which is well worth watching for all of you who haven't seen it yet). This feature displays items viewable as a whole outfit, so you can see how to utilize a certain item and the different ways you can wear it. Large clothes also feature in this outfit displayer. This black spot border shift dress emphasizes exactly what I'm talking about - it has all the richness of a uptown, New York look, while still rocking the nautical trend. This is also £32. Whatever the occasion, this dress will make you look and feel every bit the upper class lady. Don't bulk it up with accessories too much though, the key to this look is simple, elegant and understated style.

Although many Plus Size Tall articles have focused on dressing plus size men well, few have actually focused on appealing to a slightly younger age-group of males. One of my personal favourites supplying large clothes for boys is Burton (site: burton.co.uk). This is because they always have a great theme continuously on their site, be it the 'preppy' look or their current '1950's inspired iconic style'. With Burton, you're not only getting good clothes, but also a huge database of resources full to the brim with advice on how to wear the latest look, what items go together (and which items don't) etc. That is why Burton is currently my top male retailer at the moment. They do great suits that are very comfortable to your pocket. These are perfect for men who need something smart be it for an interview or a smarter occasion. This black pinstripe jacket is perfect for those things. This can be bought separately or with the matching trousers, as it will also smarten up a pair of jeans. From £69, which was already reasonable, this has been reduced to £49 (cheaper than a jumper!). This is a single-breasted jacket with relatively thin stripes (which serve as a slimming effect). Great for boys who want to appear sharp and defined. Quick tip: Make sure you wear good, polished shoes. The worse thing a guy can do is spend the effort to look good, and then forget the shoes. Burton also has some great jumpers on the site to help achieve smart but laid-back look. This navy 2 in 1 notch jumper does just that. This has been reduced to just £10, which is perfect for most of us who are feeling the bite after a big Christmas. Even if you have to cut back a bit from your spending budget, Plus Size Tall is evidence of the fact that you can still get good quality clothes at excellent prices - you don't need to spend the world! Another male retailer that I would highly recommend for large clothes for boys is Marks and Spencer (site: marksandspencer.com). They are probably second on my list of favourites, and without a doubt will always provide the best quality. There prices are more dear than Burton's, but their quality never fails. If anything is not to your liking, their customer services team is also one of the most helpful I have experienced to date. http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-for-boys-4370/feed/ 0 http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-at-ullapolken-4314/ http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-at-ullapolken-4314/#comments Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:07:07 +0000 Angela http://www.plus-size-tall.com/?p=4314 It may be hard to believe it at the moment if you are in the UK, but spring is around the corner, and with it a new fashion season. It will hopefully be the time to drop the heavy coats and sweaters for lighter garments. UllaPolken’s spring range is already available so get rid of the winter blues and take a look! The UllaPolken range is especially designed to flatter curvier women in their late 20’s and up with fashionable and well designed clothes in sizes from 16. The tops range includes colours of purple, black, blue, orange, and yellow, with a lot of bold colour, dainty florals and large prints. I love this yellow T Shirt, with large slogan. The T shirt has a rounded neck and sequin detail on the writing. Another great top to see away the winter blues is the Pullover. This top ha been made from a light fine knit, has long sleeves, and a V neck line. The print is very eye-catching with different floral designs in colours of green and black. Also included in the top range is the lovely Cardigan. This cardy has hoops of purple and white a two way zip, and a high collar. The colour combination on this cardy is reminiscent of heather, a very fresh look for spring. Wow, the Crash Tunic is gorgeous. This stunning top has small dainty flowers on blocks of purple and brown, lace detailing, and buttons to the bust. This top is a must! The trouser range from the UllaPolken spring collections includes both smart and casual trousers. The Boot Cut Trousers are very smart and very flattering. They are available in taupe and would look great with a pair of heels. The Knitted Trousers are slightly heavier, and have a stitched in crease to lengthen and slim the appearance. These trousers, available in navy, have a matching jacket to complete the elegant look. The Knitted Jacket has long sleeves, is partially lined, with a wide collar and large button detailing. For a more casual trouser, I love the Marlene Jeans. These jeans are in a very wide cut which is not only flattering, but comfortable, with a part elasticated waist, and in a washed blue. The front crease again provides the suggestion of slim lines. Of course, UllaPolken have an excellent range of clothes in their other collections such as Sportwear, tipped to be the new 2010 fashion trend. Their City collection is ideal for the girl about town and the Casual collection is for “today’s woman [who] makes her own decision on what she wants, or doesn't want to wear.” http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-at-ullapolken-4314/feed/ 0 http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-do-not-have-to-be-boring-4173/ http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-do-not-have-to-be-boring-4173/#comments Sat, 26 Dec 2009 09:58:23 +0000 Angela http://www.plus-size-tall.com/?p=4173 Who said large clothes had to be boring? The following selection of stores selling large clothes are testament to the fact that large or plus size does definitely not mean a compromise on fashion. The large clothes range from Evans has always been inspirational for plus size women with collections from some real Divas such as Chaka Khan and Beth Ditto. The Black and White Pattern Blouse with dogtooth print will catch people’s eye as the black and grey print sways in front of your eyes! The top has pin tuck and ties at the neck and ¾ length sleeves. It will look great with black leggings or jeans. Another impressive top is the Black Leopard Print T Shirt. The dramatic leopard print jumps out at you from the black t shirt. And of course animal prints and large prints are hot this season so you will look very up to the minute in them. The Black Stud Batwing Top is further proof that large clothes do not have to be boring. This rock chic number would look great with leggings and studded wedge shoes. The top has studs lining either side of the jumper, a scoop neck, and ¾ length sleeves. Dresses and Tunics look great with leggings or opaque tights and teemed with boots or heels at this time of year. A very impressive tunic from Evans is the Sequin Floral Tunic with floral print which is covered with sequins and a pretty satin black tie making this dress extra special for a night out. Leggings have really evolved over the last ten years or so, becoming far more daring! Not to mention a wardrobe essential. The Gold Animal Foil Legging is a real wow; as acknowledged and highlighted in the Cosmopolitan magazine. These stricking leggings shine with gold and bronze animal print. YoursClothing has an extraordinary range of large clothes that are definitely not boring! The Black Lace Bustier creates a really sexy look harnessing the curvier figure with lace and ribbon. This fantastic top is versatile as it would look great with trousers, jeans, or a skirt. The Bandeau Paisley Print Dress available in pink and purple or black and purple is totally stunning. The Bandeau top creates a high waistband from where the handkerchief hem skirt falls. The leggings from YoursClothing include some spectacular styles. The All over Black Sequins really add the WOW factor to an outfit. Marks and Spencer is well known for their quality and over the years has increased their collections to provide up to the minute fashion for all ages and sizes. Their large clothes range includes some real sensations. The Circle Print Scoop Neck Top is very stylish and fashionable. The fabric is slightly gathered at the neck to create a flattering draped look. The Open Neck Geometric Design Blouse has a real wow factor with fashionable geometric print creating a vibrant look. Simply breathtaking from MandCo is the Satin Bow Dress in black with a sleeveless bodice and straight skirt falling above the knee. Also available in this seasons purple. Another wow is the Black jeweled Shell Top with a satin look, short sleeves, and beaded detail at the scooped neck. The Velvet Trim Tunic is stunning with country style purple paisley print and a frilly hem. The velvet trim at the neck and on the hem finishes the stylish look. This tunic would look great with jeans, leggings or tights and a pair of boots. http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-do-not-have-to-be-boring-4173/feed/ 0 http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-for-men-from-walktall-uk-4165/ http://www.plus-size-tall.com/large-clothes-for-men-from-walktall-uk-4165/#comments Fri, 25 Dec 2009 23:41:12 +0000 Elli http://www.plus-size-tall.com/?p=4165 Walk Tall UK (site: walktall.co.uk) have some great large clothes for tall men.
