No one likes to be stuck in a cubicle all day, surrounded by fluorescent lighting, but the whole 9-to-5 situation can be even worse when you don’t feel good in your outfit. Finding (actually cute) plus-size work clothes can be a tedious task, but when you catch a glimpse of yourself in that poorly lit third floor bathroom and you actually look amazing, it’s all worth it. (It’s similar to that feeling you get when you finally clear out your inbox for the first time in weeks.)
Seriously, nothing feels quite as good as walking into work, latte in hand, feeling confident and ready to tackle the day. When your outfit reflects your killer work ethic and bad-ass personality, you can feel unstoppable. Plus, actually looking forward to what you’re going to wear every day totally makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning. You’ll probably still have that second cup of coffee, but at least you’ll be drinking it because you want to and not because you’re dreading your work day.
So, in order to jumpstart your cute AF workwear search, I hand picked 39 of my favorite pieces from myriad different brands. Some are for more formal office dress codes, while others are more casual. (Although, if you live in Los Angeles like I do, you can usually roll up to work in jeans and a graphic tee. Sorry not sorry.) From adorable suiting to dresses you’ll want to wear into the weekend, you’re sure to find something that will help brighten up your workweek.
Here at Unruly, we’re committed to featuring plus-size pieces we genuinely love and want to share with you. We’re connected to an affiliate revenue program, which means we might make a small commission when you buy products through our shopping guides. This in no way affects the pieces we choose to feature, and it never will. (Confused? We’d love to answer any questions you have about this. Email us at beunrulyinfo@gmail.com!)
