Temperatures are rising and so are the summertime hemlines.
Just because you may be of a curvier stature, that does not mean your fashion choices have to suffer.
Many outlets are now proving plus size collections to cater to the masses of women who want to dress their curves accordingly.
Long gone are wrap dresses and moo-moos.
Plus is chic again, with maxi skirts, peplum tops, and tailored shorts.
I had the opportunity to stop by Torrid in Four Seasons Mall to get the scoop on what trends are a must for the season.
Torrid is the go to place for all the trends and wardrobe staples a woman may need.
They provide for women sizes 12-28. There is something for everyone here.
In my time spent there, I was able to get great style tips from Jah, an employee at Torrid.
When asked what were some trends she was looking forward to she responded happily, “ Dresses! They are the easiest things to dress up and dress down for the summer. Whether its with flats or heels, this is a go to for the season.”
Torrid was filled with dresses.
Maxi dresses seem to be a favorite.
Many were featured in floral, color blocking, and tiered styling’s.
“Coral definitely seems to be the color of the moment,” Jah pointed out while showing me a eyelet blazer in the signature color.
Torrid also featured coral lace shorts and bohemian tops throughout their displays.
The trend I was most excited to see were the patterned denim shorts.
I feel in love with a light wash pair that featured dusty pink roses across it.
It was also available in a cutoff shorts version and can be found on Torrid’s web page.
An outfit is not complete without the perfect accessories.
Jah had many to show even a couple of her favorites.
Even though she is a fan of silver and I am more of a gold kind of girl, I have to admit I found myself falling for a couple of the pieces she picked. “Chunky bangles are instant arm candy.
Play around with different sizes and colors to make it unique,” she suggested.
Overall, Torrid is the move for all your curvy needs.
