Yours Clothing has a fantastic range of size 18 clothes new in for the season. Yours Clothing specialises in plus size clothes that are not only comfortable, but flattering, stylish, and affordable too! Here are my picks.

The Purple Floral Asymmetric ¾ Length Sleeve Top is very striking with a scooped neck. The top follows the contours of the waist in a very flattering style with gorgeous blue rose print providing a very trendy look. This top is also available with key hole detail at the back.

The Black and Purple Necklace Detail Top is a great piece for size 18 clothes. This top is very flattering as the top nips in at the waist and the asymmetric hem falls in a point below the hips which really adds length to the torso creating a really slimming effect. The necklace detailing attached to the neck with a hoop also draws attention to the head and shoulders rather than the hips. The ¾ length sleeves and neckline all add to this fantastic slimming look. The print is a delightful purple paisley on black. This style of top is also available in black and white print and pink and purple floral print, both with different prints.

A top in a similar style is the Black and White Asymmetric Ring Detail Top. This top has short floaty sleeves, a V-neck which has a hoop where the fabric is gathered at the bust and then falls to the asymmetric hem.  The print is a modern white floral print on black.

The Black Longline 5 Button Cardi is very in this spring and flattering for women in size 18 clothes. The cardi has a v-neck and buttons down the front, although for a real flattering look the cardi should be worn open over a T such as the 3 Button T Shirt available in blue, pink, purple, and white.

Team the tops with the Indigo Bootcut Jean with Waistband Detail for a fantastic casual look. These jeans have stitching detail at the pockets and large eyelet detail at the waist.

Yours Clothing have some great new skirts for the office and for going out in the evening. For the office I love the Black and Grey Fringe Detail Dress. Firstly, the cut is very flattering for women with curves as the bias cut skirt flares out at the hem. Then the detailing is very stylish and modern. The fabric has diagonal blocks of colour in light and dark grey which are criss-crossed fringe detail. This skirt would look great with the Pink Short Sleeve Satin Trim V Neck T Shirt. This simple T is very versatile and a wardrobe staple. What is more, it is excellent value as you can buy two for only £10.00.

For the evening, the Black Asymmetric Hem Lace Skirt is very chic with a black skirt which falls just below the knee and a lace layer over the top with asymmetric hem. The layered look is very in so you will be the belle of the ball! Wear with a simple black top and a shug. I like the Black and Silver all over Sequin Shug with rectangular sliver sequin detail. This shug is also available in cobalt and silver. Who said you could only wear sequins at Christmas?

Evans has a fantastic new collection of size 18 clothes for spring that has been especially designed to suite your curves. As the snow thaws, what better time to inject a touch of spring into your wardrobe.

The tops from Evans feature muted colours of blue, grey, purple, pink, green, and black. Floral prints are also prevalent. The new Slimmer Fitting T-shirt is a size 18 clothes wardrobe must. In navy or pink, this cotton long sleeve top with V-neck is cut to make you appear slimmer as it nips in at the waist and skims the hips. This top can be dressed up with a jacket or smart knitwear for work or with a pair of jeans.

The Floral Longline Shirt is very pretty with ¾ length turn up sleeves and a V-neck with three buttons. There is pin tuck detailing from the shoulders which creates a nice shape to the waist. This is emphasised with a tie at the back. The pink flower print is very dainty with blue leaves on a grey background. This top would look fantastic with grey tailored trousers or a pair of jeans.

The colour theme for the tops continues into the dress collection. I really like the Printed Tiered Jersey Dress. This dress is available in four colours; light and dark blue, grey and black, black, and purple. All four dresses are in the same style with ½ length sleeves, a scooped neck with five buttons, and a tie at the back to emphasise the waist. The two toned printed dresses have a contrasting bib colour and alternate colour bands around the skirt. The printed dresses also have a delightful floral print.

The knitwear includes the flattering Grey Rib Front Cardigan. This long line cardigan has a waterfall front with vertical ribbed detailing in the knit. It would look fantastic with the Slimmer Fitted T-shirt.

The new skirt and trousers range includes some great choices for the office. The Linen Crop Trousers available in black or khaki are ideal for spring weather being a lighter fabric.

The Black Fit and Flare Skirt is also flattering and with an elasticated waist very comfortable.

Finally in my choice for size 18 clothes, the Aqua Silver Button Mac is very eye-catching. It has a funnel neck with two buttons and a further three buttons off centre down the front. With a tie at the waist, this jacket is fab! All of the new jackets from Evans are in a much lighter style now spring is on the horizon.

Where to shop for stylish size 18 clothes? I am going to look at some of the options available for this January.

The clothes from Evans are designed to flatter a woman’s curves in sizes 14 to 32. Therefore you can be sure to look good in clothes designed specifically for the plus size woman who wants both up to the minute fashion, style, and comfort. With online exclusives, collection put together by well known celebrities such as Beth Ditto and VAT still at 15%, there is no better time to shop for size 18 clothes.

I love this Black Over The Head Shirt. This stylish shirt has an open collar and button downs to the waist with pintuck detail which then pleats out to the hips. It has ¾ length sleeves with cuff detail. This top is very versatile as well as flattering as it can be dressed up with smart black or grey trousers, or dressed down with jeans or leggings.

Indeed, this top would look fantastic with the Black Skinny Trouser with front zip and popper detailing. With Elastane included in the material mix these trousers are very stylish and comfortable.

With the big chill still on us in the UK, there is still a need for extra warmth. The Cable Knit Cardigan would make a cosy extra layer and towards spring could be warn as a jacket. This lovely beige cardy has large cable knit detailing on the front and sides in a vertical design creating a lengthening effect. The cardy also has large button detailing, a great buy.

Evans has some great dresses and tunics in their range designed to flatter women in size 18 clothes. The Butterfly 2 in 1 Dress is really pretty and ideal for January when the weather is hopefully about to change. The dainty butterfly design is very spring like yet the black v neck jersey top which is attached keeps you warm. This short dress with long sleeves is loose fitting and would look great with a pair of leggings and boots.

Marks and Spencer are well known for their value and quality. They have many collections suitable for young teenagers to women in their 60’s up who wish to be fashionable and stylish in size 18 clothes. My favourite collection is Per Uno. Their style always looks unique and the clothes make you feel trendy but, at 30+ not like “mutton dressed as lamb.” Their clothes are always comfortable and withstand the many washes. Many of the pieces are also timeless so you can pull them out of your wardrobe year after year.

The Per Uno ¾ Sleeve Bow Jumper is really eye-catching and just what is needed to brighten up the winter months in vibrant purple. The elegantly knitted jumper in a wool blend has a delightful bow at the neck. This jumper would look great with a pair of jeans or smart trousers.

I have always found the Per Uno skirts flattering, comfortable, and trendy. When ever I have worn one to work, they always get a positive feedback. The Spot Embroidered Panelled Jersey Skirt is no exception. This lovely full length skirt in a flattering full style is in grey with a wide black hem, and embroidered circle and large sequin detail. Absolutely stunning! Ideal for work and other smart occasions.

There are so many retailers that offer stunning size 18 clothes for me to write about, but I am going to finish with Ann Harvey. This is another retailer who specialises in clothes for the curvier woman, ensuring comfort, fit, and style. Their range is ideal for women in their 30’s and up.  So far I have looked at some stunning tops, knitwear, trousers, and skirts so I am going to look at the jackets; and wow! The Swing Ponte Jacket is really classy and would look fantastic with the Per Uno skirt. This stunning black swing ponte jacket has large button detailing and a large collar. The jacket tucks in at the bust then falls to the hips, has long sleeves, and is oh so stylish!

This January should be used as your fresh start to a new year.

That being said, you will need a new wardrobe to start the year with a brand new outlook.

This article will focus on great size 18 clothes from well-known, good-quality retailers.

The first of these retailers is Marks and Spencer (site: marksandspencer.com).

Marks and Spencer has some great size 18 clothes, and what’s more is that it has a new feature to its site for the new year – it displays whole outfits and gives you the breakdown of the make up of the outfit once you click on the type of outfit you want.

This is a great feature not only because you can choose and order whole outfits with the click of a button, but you can also see  how individual pieces can be used in different ways to create different styles.

This picture shows an example.

This illustrates how to achieve “perfect draping”.

Styled with pieces from their Perfect range, this outfit features a fabulous draped tunic and a cosy cardi in chic shades of grey. Whether it’s the latest trend, a great value basic, or a classic investment piece, these are our absolute must-haves for spring.

Shades of grey and bright colours like pink are set to be must-have colour choices this spring, so start building your wardrobe up from now with these great pieces.

The cardigan is my favourite item from this outfit, and is priced at £35.

It is available in four different colours, and each colour is still available in a size 18.

However, the grey size 18 clothes are low in stock, so if you like the outfit you should think of purchasing it quickly.

This is a very flexible outfit and each item can be worn many different times, being used to create something completely different each time.

Another great retailer we will look at in today’s article is Ann Harvey (site: annharveyfashion.co.uk).

Ann Harvey has some extremely luxurious quality size 18 clothes, and they are renowned for their care and tailoring, especially plus sizes.

A trendy choice for January has got to be this burntout beaded shell top.

Perfect for wearing under suit jackets for a smart look or over smart trousers/jeans for a more casual look.

This is a beautiful silky printed shell top in shades of purple, green and blue.

What’s great about this top is not only its print, but also its price!

At £22.50 it has been reduced from £45 and is a great bargain.

New Look is an ideal brand to shop if you are in your late teens, early 20’s looking for trendy plus size 18 clothes. The range is up to the minute, reasonably priced, and good quality. From sparkle, smart, to casual, you will find what you are looking for.

The parties aren’t over yet! With New Year around the corner the Sequin Cardigan will make you dazzle! With a flattering waterfall front and long sleeves this cardigan will get you in a mood for the New Year celebrations! Team with a black vest and straight leg jeans such as the Straight Leg Jeans from New Look or the Skinny Belted Jeans.

Another great top which would look fantastic with jeans is the Zip Front Shirt, ideal for the aspiring rock chic! The gathered detailing at the bust and the ruched sleeves ensure a very stylish look.

The size 18 clothes range from New Look includes several tops with hanky or asymmetrical hem lines which are not only en-vogue but also very flattering for the curvier figure.  One of my favourites in this style is the Flower Hanky Hem Top with a large white rose flower print on the front of the black top.

The size 18 clothes range from New Look includes several pretty dresses. Looking for a change from all the sequins? The elegant looking Dotty Dress will see you through to summer with delightful tiered frilly hem which falls at thigh length from the high waistband in a very flattering cut. The pin tuck detail at the chest is complemented with frills around the V neck line. This dress would look great with high boots or heels.

The size 18 clothes range from New Look includes a selection of smart knitwear. The Corsage Tunic Top is very versatile as it can be dressed up with a smart pair of trousers or skirt, or dressed down with a pair of jeans. This jersey top has a scooped neck, half length sleeves, and striped detail. The black ribbon corsage with pearl beads completes the sophisticated look of this top.

Also available from the size 18 clothes range is a selection of casual swear shirts which can be worn with jeans or joggers. They are in fashionable colours with catchy slogans such as “Live the Dream”, or “Heart and Soul”.

With the weather typically wet this time of year, New Look have a fantastic Mac, The Leopard Skin Mac. This very trendy jacket is fully lined and mid length with buttons down the front and a tie at the waist. This jacket looks so fantastic you will be hoping it rains just so you can show it off!!

Today’s article will concentrate on size 18 clothes from La Redoute UK (site: laredoute.co.uk).

As an added bonus to their already great value clothes, La Redoute is offering any customer that signs up to receive their emails and information a 20% discount.

From the size 18 clothes available on the site, this Anne Weyburn Loop Pile Cardigan is a great choice to keep warm in the cold months ahead.

This cardigan is fastened with a chunky button and decorated with a large, flat collar.

Feminine and elegant, it has 2 patch pockets, and is available in beige, black and ecru.

Adding a modern and funky edge to regular cardigans, this is a great way to look good in a casual outfit.

The cardigan is priced at £35.

It’s part wool, and so will guarantee to be soft and warm on your skin.It is also great for throwing over your shoulders on a night out.

It is available in sizes 10 to 24.

What’s appealing about this specific cardigan is its design – it suits both younger women and the more mature.

This is a perfect piece to use in making your own style.

Next from the size 18 clothes available from La Redoute UK (site: laredoute.co.uk) is this La Redoute En Plus Round Neck Tunic T-shirt.

The key to successful winter warmth is plenty of layers, and this tunic is the perfect choice to start off the layering!

The top is available in black, grey, navy, plum and teal – and is priced at only £23 (which  means you can get several colours!).

The perfect casual, everyday top, this would look great both with leggings and jeans.

The button detailing is pretty, and the slight sheerness of the top gives it a feminine edge.

The top is available in two lengths – 80 and 86cm – so you can be sure that you will get the correct length for your size.

After the hullabaloo of Christmas, you will want some comfortable clothes that you can sit back and relax in – without the stress that the day itself probably causes many of you.

These simple yet pretty tops do the job perfectly.

The nature of the top also means that they can be worn in spring too (without the layers) as on their own they are thin enough to keep you cool.

Previous articles around Christmas time have focused on party dresses, partywear, formal wear etc. Although a necessity in every girl’s life, the after Christmas wind-down requires something a little more relaxing.

La Redoute UK (site: laredoute.co.uk) has the perfect items to help you achieve your relaxation.
