Plus-Size Denim Shirts Shopping Guide

In addition to classic black v-necks (May they forever reign.), denim shirts might just be the easiest wardrobe essential to style—like, ever. Basic, but not boring. Casual, but still put-together. Neutral, but unexpectedly so. The verdict is in: Plus-size denim shirts really do have it all. And quite frankly, if your closet isn’t already full of them, it’s time to hop on board the train to ~denim town.~ We’re leaving this station looking stylish AF.

Though there are plenty of basics worth keeping in your wardrobe at all times, no piece is quite like the denim shirt. A plain white tee? That’s great to have on-hand to wear with jeans and a blazer, sure. But plus-size denim shirts inhabit an entirely different level. They’re cute and casual, but still manage to elevate any ensemble—and serve as the perfect replacement for your go-to t-shirts.

Seriously, just try it. Take any ensemble with which you’d wear a black, white, or even graphic tee and swap in a denim shirt. Your look will be elevated tenfold. (!) Opt for a classic mid-wash denim shirt paired with your most maximalist trousers this weekend. Or, wear a light-wash oversized denim shirt with a pair of leggings and chunky booties to grab coffee with a BFF. Toss on your favorite blazer over a dark-wash denim shirt and slip skirt for an office-ready ensemble. The possibilities are—and we really mean this—endless.

Just about any outerwear or bottoms you have in your closet can be paired with plus-size denim shirts. Everything from ripped jeans (Go ahead and test out a Canadian tuxedo. We’re here for it!) to that floral print skirt you never know how to style can be turned into an Insta-worthy look with the help of our friend the denim shirt. This wardrobe piece is a must-have in every sense of the word.
