The key to finding a great fitting plus size coat is to make sure the seam on the shoulderss rests properly on your shoulders and is not falling a few inches off. And it is better to aim for something a little fitted than opting for a coat that is extra baggy. Extra baggy coats will make you disappear and apppear larger than life.

This season’s colors include deep emerald and deep purple and as usual there is the black and cream that we see year in year out.

Wool coats are always the epitome of style and they do a great job in keeping you extra warm as well. A lot of the newer styles are sporting plaid which looks great when worn with plain (as in non-printed) skirts or pants.

An empire waist wool coat with stand up notch collar makes a very smart yet casual statement.

When shopping online for plus size coats, make sure you refer to the size charts which should be easy to find on the website. Although shopping online makes shopping from home easy to do, you still have to ensure you get the fittings right and this is not always easy since you cannot physically try an item on. So, making sure that you measure yourself first and then check out a site’s size chart will help to ensure that you pick the right fitting plus size coat or jacket for your body shape.

The other simple thing is to select the color and fabric swatch options, which are on some of the larger retailer sites, such as Avenue.com and you get a clearer indication of what an item of clothing will look like in different color and prints. So be sure to go through a few color and print comparisons before you select the coat that is perfect for you.
