Plus-Size Corduroy Shirts Shopping Guide

As the seasons change from winter to spring, spring to summer, summer to fall, fall to winter (and right back around again) it can be difficult to find clothes to wear. You want something in your closet that works for fluctuating temperatures—those times when it’s chilly one day and warm the next or sunny afternoons that turn into cold nights. Frankly, it can be frustrating. But in these moments of not-too-hot, not-too-cold, one classic item of clothing is always there for you: the corduroy shirt. Cozy, but not too heavy, plus-size corduroy shirts offer just the right amount of coverage to help you transition your wardrobe from one season to the next.

Another plus? Corduroy shirts are endlessly versatile. Typically, these tops button—meaning you can style them buttoned up as a shirt or unbutton them and layer the piece over a cami, graphic tee, or turtleneck (when the chill really sets in). So because most plus-size corduroy shirts double as shackets, you get even more wear out of them during seasonal changes—which is definitely a game-changer. Any article of clothing that works as two pieces in one is a win in our book.

Though corduroy clothing is typically labeled a fall favorite, there are plenty of ways to wear the fabric year-round. And this is especially true when the weather is transitioning from one season to the next. Keep a couple (or several) plus-size corduroy shirts at the front of your closet, and you’ll be surprised with how often you reach for them. Cozy, cute, and comfortable—what more could you possibly want?
