GIFTS FOR THE PLUS SIZE WOMAN WITH CLASSIC STYLE

This gift guide is from the heart. Every single product was chosen from a personal place. Items that I have and love, items that are fabulous and less common in the plus size world (let’s hope not for long), and products I use to combat obstacles I personally face as a plus-size woman. Most of all, these are all quality pieces that are sumptuous and have classic style! I have my gift guide for her, him the home and more launching this week, stay tuned!

1. EVERYDAY GINGHAM SWEATSHIRT $74:

Draper James is a women founded (Reese Witherspoon’s) business. This gingham sweatshirt has quickly become a cult classic. It elevates what a normal sweatshirt would be, and the gingham is so timeless! Carry up to a 3x 

2. LACE HIGH-WAISTED BRIEFS 2 for $36:

These Third Love lace briefs are so comfortable and wear well under clothing. They feel luxurious. They are 2 for $26 and would make a great gift for the gal who wants to up her undies game while staying comfortable. Up to 3x.

3. WOOL PARKA WITH FAUX FUR HOOD $375 on sale for $299:

This is number 1 on my wishlist this year. I have the cocoon coat which is a smilier price point and it is WORTH IT! From what I have heard, the fit on this is better for curves! I’ve wanted it for years. Quality plus-size outerwear is far and few between, so this would be a very special, needed and appreciated gift! Up to 24. 

4. MARGAUX WIDE WIDTH FLATS $148:

Margaux is a women owned small business that I love. I have to admit, I am on my 6th pair! These are some of the only wide with flats that I feel so comfortable in, and don’t have to sacrifice style. They have foam padding, which makes it ideal for wide feet. They are a 100% worth it, and the quality is phenomenal. They also hold up very well. Use code SIMPLYELSA10 for 10% off your order. 

5.MEGABABE THIGH RESCUE $14:

Megababe is a small, women owned business and I am so thankful for it. This is my holy grail! This is an anti-chafe stick safe to be applied on your inner thigh. It’s great for anyone whose thighs touch! I have said so-long to biker shorts under dresses and it also makes exercising so comfortable. 

6. KNIT POM POM HAT $45:

My head is big (anyone else?!) and this is one that works on me. It is an easy piece to stay warm and stylish at the same time. I actually received mine as a gift, and love it so much, I added it to the list!

7. WAFFLE JOGGERS $79:

These look so heavenly. Joggers are a must-have in 2020-2021. The waffle material is very cute and reminds me of winter in Vermont. Every woman needs a chic yet cozy pair of pants for days at home. Up to 3x.

9. GOLD BOW NECKLACE WITH EXTENDER $38:

10. BUILD YOUR OWN CROSSBODY BAG WITH AN EXTRA LONG STRAP $159 + $59:

I searched high and low for a cross body with a strap longer than 22”. This mark and graham leather bag is so timeless. I love the twill strap and that you can select your own color combinations! The long strap accommodates plus-size bodies. 

11. YES YOU CAN JOURNAL $19.99:

I think it’s important any woman has an inspirational journal to exercise self-care. Body positive or not, it is hard to navigate the world being plus size, and a journal is a great release and way to love yourself.

Not every plus size woman has this issue, but I think all women could use this so I am putting it on the list. 15% off your first order with code “SIMPLYELSA” ! With Equilibria, you are setup with a dosage consultant to chat things through.

13. UNIVERSAL STANDARD LOUNGE ROBE $125:

This is the ideal house robe. It’s a super soft pima cotton and perfect for cozying up in the morning with coffee or retiring in the evening with tea. I think every woman deserves a quality robe that is not for the bath. Great gift for a friend, yourself or for mom. US has their own size chart, please reference!

14. UNIVERSAL STANDARD SLEEP LOUNGE SET $50:

It is so hard to find soft, quality and cute plus size pajamas that are feminine!! A sweet pairing to the robe, there is nothing better than a quality pair of pajamas that are chic and feminine. I would adore these as a gift, and plan to snag a pair for myself. How peaceful it would be to head to bed in this set with the robe! US has their own size chart, please reference!

15. THE HONEY POT BODY AND FEMININE WIPES $8.99:

The Honey Pot is a female, Black-owned business focused on products for women’s hygiene. Their products are safe and lovely! I keep in my purse and use these wipes for my underarms and bra area.

16. CREAM CABLE KNIT FISHERMAN’S SWEATER $148:

Pajamas are so hard to find in plus-sizes that are cute. I love this pair and J.Crew makes great pajamas. They are cute and preppy. I love the navy and white stripes, and you can wear year-round. I am all about sets, I think a lot of women become this way as we get older. A pajama set is simple but are so so appreciated!

A wide width win. Finally a loafer that is chic! Loafers are a must in any classic closet. This pair is so chic and easy, and they look a lot nicer than they are. The quality holds up and they are comfortable! Perfect for the gal on the go who doesn’t love heels, but wants to feel polished.
