Best Fashion Outfit Ideas For Plus Size Women’s Interview Attire

plus size interview outfits

It is tough to pick interview attire and it is even tougher to select plus size women’s interview outfits. While it is easy to dress for work, the interview day is amongst the most important days of any individual’s life. Thus, it is important to pick the best outfit that makes the candidate feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable. 

Plus size females should choose such attires that will give you a flattering look. Only when they feel that the attire is fitting them right from all parts of the body, that is when they will be able to express themselves without feeling any kind of discomfort.

What are the best picks for plus size interview outfits?

There are a lot of ways to accentuate your looks and look tidy. However, the top most way remains to understand your body type. Generally, plus size women prefer to visit stylists/boutiques to get their formals customised according to their size. But now you can also get your outfits easily from any leading brand available in malls and thrift markets. In fact, you may also get many options online! 

When looking for an outfit for your meeting, pick the pieces that fit your body properly; don’t pick depending on a particular size or number— try out what works best for you! Here are some women’s plus size interview outfits options that will make you look confident, more appealing, and of course more stylish too:

1. Overcoats or Cardigans

These two are reliable pieces of clothing for an interview. An overcoat does not need to be excessively long – it should just hit your midsection long. On the other hand, cardigans are made of delicate stretchable material which again fits the body well. The best part is you can have only a few of these and wear them consistently without stressing as they are so versatile. 

Always go for plain or solid coloured cardigans or overcoats for a formal look. This way, you can easily pair them with an LBD, midi skirt or even flared pants. Any formal outfit styled with an overcoat or cardigan gives a slimmer shape to your body.

2. Flared/Bootcut Pants 

Flared pants give an incredible complimenting look if you are looking for outfits to make a plus-size body look lean. Try to opt for flared/loose fit trousers so that it doesn’t hug your body too tightly. The trick is to give an angular look to your body so you can embrace your curves while dressing-up smartly. 

Pair the pants with any solid coloured shirt or tunic for the perfect formal look. During the winter season, wear a blazer or overcoat with the shirt and you are good to go to the interview. However, void wearing denim to the interview as that gives a very casual look. The high-waisted trousers can be made of polyester or knit fabric.

3. Skirts

Skirts are the best way to embrace your curves. But the twist is that your skirt should be flowy and knee-length, rather than a pencil skirt or a fitted one. A flowy or a pleated skirt gives you a slimmer and more appealing look as always. 

For an interview, you can easily wear a solid midi skirt or an A-line skirt would also make up for a great formal attire. Opt for shirts or tops with v-neck for that feminine look. Team up your entire dress with a pretty pair of bellies or nude wedges or even solid pencil heels for that boss lady feel. 

4. Shirts/ Tunics

Plain shirts are the best option for your formal or interview look. If someday, you are highly confused about what to shop for in your interview— a white, black or a neutral coloured crisply ironed short is your saviour. But if you do not want it to look monotonous, try variations in the designs of your shirt. 

You can opt for a balloon sleeves shirt or a bright coloured satin shirt teamed up with black trousers or A-line skirts are perfect picks for your interview attire. Additionally, these shirts aren’t secured so they look considerably all the more flattering, complimenting your neckline. You can pick lighter shades for shirts so you have a contrast with your pants or skirt.

5. Pumps/ Pencil Heels

These are an absolute necessity for any plus-size woman. Pumps not only give you more stature but also have pointed toes which give an overall powerful impact. Besides, you can have only a couple of decent combines of pumps and style them with anything you wear – pants, skirts or dresses.

Similarly, pencil heels can also add a more feminine look and feel to your entire look. The tiny heel can add more height to your look, which makes you look like you can conquer anything; clearly making you ready for that job you aspire to take!

Dress For Your Body Type:

Wear such dresses that compliment your shape, regardless of whether you’re plus size or size zero.

  • Ladies who are broader on the lower portion (midriff), look good in mid-calf pencil skirts or high-midsection pants (with a pullover wrapped up), for creating a slimmer look.
  • While the girls or the women who are broad from the torso (the top) can opt for customized shirts with slacks or jeggings, to give their body shape a more uniform look.
  • Long pullovers or dresses secured in the center with a wide belt would complement both body types. 

Tip: Attempt to emphasize what you like about your body. Try not to wear incredibly baggy garments to conceal your size, as that will just cause you to seem bigger than you are. Happy shopping and all the best for your next interview!

This one is a total game-changer. Many women prefer to wear a knee-length A-line dress for their interview. Any solid color or monochrome color scheme will look the best for women’s casual interview attire.

Style your A-line dress with a smart broad belt at your waistline. You can also style your dress with a long oversized coat. Team it up with wedges or pencil heels for a smarter look. 

While women’s casual interview attire is more about playing with prints and colors, it is necessary to make sure that you still look sophisticated and interview ready. The outfit should reflect your personality and you must accessorize it with minimal in order to look neat. Avoid denim and too much bling even if the event is casual as they do not make up for the best impression when going for an interview.

Do not forget to be genuine, have fun, and nail that interview with confidence and a great smile!
