Summary: The brands are slowly acknowledging the potential of the plus-size market. The stores are flooded with stylist options of plus-size coats for women. With new materials and designs, the designers are taking pains to dress up curvy women in outfits that complement their silhouettes.
Plus-size winter coat shopping is proving to be a real pleasure, as for the first time, the market is flooded with exquisite options. Fashion players are finally beginning to address this underserved market. Anyone who is in love with their plus-size figure just needs to know what flatters their body type, and then the option pool to choose from becomes infinite.
Brands have started paying special attention to this consumer class, and they are leaving no stone unturned to please this niche segment. For instance, for a top-heavy body type, where a normal coat strangles the chest, now there are a plethora of options where a V-shaped neckline and a complimenting scarf are available. These can be contoured down in a V-shape or vertical pattern. This simple yet intelligent design change makes the plus-size woman look serene and beautiful.
With oversized winter wear options, brands are trying to address all shapes and sizes. For curvy women, brands have come up with oversized coats that can be tied down around the waistline to give a super cool and zippy look. A wrap coat cinches on the midsection and gives a bold outlook to the body shape, as designers re-invent fashion for curvy women.
Fashion brands have been upbeat on cropped plus-size coats for women that hit a little above the knee to have a scintillating visual impact. For pear-shaped body types, brands have put innovations in their oversize jacket offering by introducing detailing at the collar, faux fur trim, and wide lapels which enhances the visual appeal and gives a more balanced look.
