When it comes to outfitting people of all shapes and sizes, our personal stylists really know what works best. Here are some of our recommendations for when you’re shopping for plus-size dresses with short sleeves:
We’ll get to seasonality in a moment, but don’t forget to vary your plus-size dress search by length, too:
Here at Dia & Co we curate from top brands to find the best short-sleeve dresses for every one of life’s moments. For spring and summer weddings, you’ll want to search for short-sleeve dresses that are midi to maxi in length and offer up unique patterns or fabrics. Don’t forget to tailor your style to the style of occasion, too. A formal setting is great for a short-sleeve cocktail dress, but a farmhouse wedding will require a more casual wedding guest dress. Think: maxi boho dresses, mini peasant dresses and dresses with puffed sleeves.
The workplace is another situation that requires a collection of no-stress dresses. Short-sleeve dresses for work can be made of professional materials (like scuba, linen, and wool), and always look best if they’re pressed or made of wrinkle-free fabric. Be sure to keep a cardigan or blazer handy to style with your short-sleeve work dress—the A/C in some workplaces is no joke.
There are certain short-sleeve dresses you can wear year-round. Skater dresses, for example (short-sleeve fit-and-flare dresses) can be styled alone in spring and summer and then with boots, tights, and jackets or coats in the fall and winter. Short-sleeve wrap dresses can be styled in similar ways and work-year round. The other nice thing about wrap dresses is that you can layer them over or under almost anything, so play with layers in cooler months. The catch with short-sleeve dresses? You’ll usually want to bring a sweater, cardigan, jacket or blazer to style for cold weather. If you want even more coverage, look for short-sleeve dresses that are longer in length.
If you’re looking for great dresses to wear to work or ones that can even be worn to casual weddings and events, L I V D has a host of plus-size short-sleeve dresses in an array of silhouettes. They’re great at creating gorgeous styles that are minimalist enough to transcend occasions. Brands like Kiyonna and LuvMeMore are also sure to cater to more special occasion dressing—and they all know fit! If you’re looking for more casual short-sleeve dresses, check out brands like Madewell, Meri Skye, Adorne, and CityChic. They choose fabrics and prints that are flowy, easy and made specially for everyday moments.
