Stylish Plus Size Jackets for Every Season

A good jacket does two jobs. It keeps you warm, and it pulls an outfit together. For curvy women, the right jacket should flatter your shape, not hide it. The Westside collection of plus size jackets for women brings together denim jackets, bomber jackets, long jackets, blazers and winter jackets, cut to sit comfortably and move with you.

Layer one over a T-shirt for the weekend, a shirt for work or a dress for the evening. These jackets are part of our Curvy Woman collection, so it’s easy to build a complete look.

Types of Plus Size Jackets

Plus Size Denim Jackets

A denim jacket is the most versatile layer in any wardrobe. Choose a softer, lighter denim that sits well on the shoulders without adding bulk. Wear it over plus size dresses, T-shirts or kurtas for an easy, casual look.

Plus Size Bomber Jackets

A bomber jacket has a short body with a gathered hem and cuffs, which gives it a sporty, street-style feel. Wear it with jeans and sneakers. Leave it open for a longer, leaner line.

Plus Size Long Jackets

Long jackets and longline styles fall below the hip, often to mid-thigh or lower. They create a long vertical line that flatters curvy figures, and they work over slim trousers, leggings and fitted dresses.

Plus Size Winter Jackets

Winter jackets add warmth for cold mornings, hill trips and travel. Look for padded, quilted, knit or corduroy styles, and choose a size that leaves room for a sweater underneath.

Blazers and Smart Jackets

A tailored blazer or structured jacket gives work outfits a polished finish. Wear it over a shirt or top with plus size trousers for the office, or over a dress for dinner.

Hooded and Zip-Up Jackets

Hooded and zip-through jackets are casual, practical layers for travel, errands and relaxed weekends. Pair them with joggers or jeans.

How to Choose a Flattering Plus Size Jacket

Get the shoulders right. The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder. A jacket that fits here looks sharp, even when worn open.
Choose your length. Cropped jackets suit high-waisted bottoms and dresses. Longline jackets create a long, lean line over trousers and leggings.
Define your waist. Belted and slightly fitted jackets add shape. Open jackets over a single-colour outfit create a vertical line.
Leave room for layers. For winter jackets, size up if you plan to wear a sweater or hoodie underneath.
