Grey Jeans

Grey denim jeans from Carmakoma for plus size women.

Grey seems to be a hot color from everywhere from home decor (towels, paint, pillows…) to clothing (it has transcended the new black slot to become a featured color). I have embraced grey as well. We put grey tiles in the front entrance and bathroom and I painted the kitchen grey. I would like to get some medium grey towels for the bathroom at some point but have not found ones I love yet. I do however love these grey plus size jeans from Carmakoma.

I love the intentionally faded spots on thighs and rump and the unique buttoned waistline. Grey is a great base color that goes with anything like its black sister but I love it best with red.

Perfect Fit Denim on Ashley Graham for Addition-Elle

It has been a busy season for Addition-Elle this season. There is the usual fall line release of course but they also have some big additions namely Wide Calf Boots and Perfect Fit Denim.

The Boots

First the footwear, this is really a huge addition because they have not carried footwear before this. Addition-Elle is not just offering wide calf boots but a whole line from flats to tall boots (sister store Penningtons will be carrying their own footwear line too). Prices range in price from $25 for flats to $170 for boots. Here’s a sneak peak:

When you visit the boot section at Addition-Elle be sure to scroll down to the overview section to find out the calf width for each size — excellent feature to make shopping online easier but make sure you measure both calves and go with the largest size.

The Denim

If you have been looking for a better fit in your denim and have been longing for the better fit options available in the states, whine no further. Addition-Elle has unveiled their Perfect Fit Denim blues you see here on the hips of Ashley Graham and in the following video:

Perfect Fit Denim on Ashley Graham for Addition-Elle

They are giving you three options to choose from: Curvy, Shapely, and Versatile which should be the majority of denim wearers happy.

You will find some deeply dyed twill colors for fall and a few designer brands like DKNY, Levi’s (yes they make plus size now), Suko, Angels, Silver, Apple Bottoms and more.

I am especially looking forward to the coloured twill pants and printed denim. Denim will range in price from $60 to $130 depending on brand.

This plus size romantic chic outfit comes from Torrid.

A one stop clothing shop, is one of the reasons I love plus size clothing retailer Torrid. You can dress from head to toe all in one spot. And their new online website is making it easier.

Plus Size Denim Jeans

Plus Size Denim Jeans from Svoboda

If you are still looking for plus size jean options but can’t seem to find any with style locally, then check Svoboda. They are one of the leaders in plus size fashion when it comes to jeans. They recently released a treasure trove of choices in sizes 10 to 24. Don’t be alarmed by the lack of updates with the rest of the site, they are still in business.

My absolute favorites are:

The Malibu Blue Five Pocket Knit Denim Leggings, $128. The fat girl’s version of the skinny jean that is perfect worn with one of the most popular trends this year –high boots.

Plus Size Denim Jeans from Svoboda

The Black Licorice Five Pocket Jean, $128. A skinny leg jean but not to the extreme and in black. These are suitable for boots but don’t look wonky if worn with heels.

Svoboda's Plus Size Denim

The Blue Widow Spider Five Pocket Jean, $138. I admit it, the name caught my attention first but this is a great every day jean.

Plus Size Denim from Svoboda

The last two pair of jeans are made with 28% Elastarell instead of Spandex. Elastarell is supposed to hold its shape longer and offer a better fit.

Thanks to Marie Denee for letting me know about the Yoga Jeans from Second Clothing — specifically, their cute video about how orgasmic the fabric and wear are:

Their jeans are Canadian made in Montreal and are currently available at Addition-Elle in the boot-cut and skinny leg versions for $130.
