Plus-Size Renaissance Print Tops Shopping Guide

Many of us have long recognized that we are, in fact, works of art. And the museum core trend is simply making it easier for us to announce to the world what already know: We are masterpieces who belong in art museums. We deserve to be featured beside portraits, sculptures, and still lifes that professors lecture about in art history classes. We are stunning, breath-taking, and awe-inspiring—and there’s nothing stopping us from expressing that with our clothes. While most of us won’t end up on the walls of museums, plus-size renaissance print tops allow us to (at the very least) dress the part. And that’s still something worth celebrating.

Though it’s been trickling into the zeitgeist at a slower rate that some trends, museum core has begun to make its mark. At the top of this micro trend’s food chain so far? Renaissance prints. Think: gorgeous, sometimes romantic paintings you see as you wander through an art museum—but transported directly onto your clothes. And in this case, transported directly onto your tops.

Whether they’re corset-inspired tops, mesh blouses, or button-downs, plus-size renaissance print tops are the statement-making addition your wardrobe needs this season. Just by slipping one of these beauts on, you’ll become a walking, talking, breathing art museum. So don’t be surprised if every head turns while you’re donning a renaissance print. Witnessing a piece of artwork cross the street is a rare thing—and it’s hard to look away from.

Worn with high-waisted jeans and strappy sandals or a mini skirt and heels, there’s no wrong way to dress up like the work of art you are. Plus-size renaissance print tops are just another way to let everyone else know the truth. And if you happen to become someone’s muse in the process, then so be it.
