Plus-Size Corduroy Dresses Shopping Guide

Though corduroy is typically marketed as a fall staple (and it is), these cozy pieces shouldn’t be limited to merely one season out of the year. There are ways to wear corduroy—and especially corduroy dresses—in warm weather, too. It’s likely you won’t want to don corduroy on the hottest day of summer, but fall, winter, and spring? Plus-size corduroy dresses are *chef’s kiss.*

Like most dresses, corduroy dresses work for nearly every season due to their inherently versatile nature. If the weather is chilly, you can layer up with sweaters and tights. But if it’s 70 degrees and sunny, you can bare your legs and stay cool without losing the cozy feelings of fall and winter. Paired with boots and chunky knits or strappy sandals and oversized sunglasses, plus-size corduroy dresses can be worn throughout most of the year. (!)

Often when we think about corduroy dresses, we envision minis layered over turtlenecks and tights. For warmer temperatures, though, one of the easiest styles to wear is the shirtdress. Essentially, these pieces are cozy and comfortable corduroy shirts that are long enough to function as dresses. Easy, breezy, and the perfect transitional piece, it’s nearly impossible not to love the corduroy shirtdress. Try adding a pair of chunky sneakers or your favorite slide sandals this season to test it out. Either way, you can’t lose.

Of course, corduroy shirtdresses aren’t the only style on offer these days. (We spy a few babydoll dresses in the mix, too!) There’s a little something for everyone—and every weather situation. Allow these frocks to help you transition from season to season effortlessly. Corduroy dresses are true game-changers, and worth adding to your wardrobe STAT.
