Merino Wool & Bamboo Thermal Bottom
Another important addition to your winter wardrobe should be a thermal bottom. Made of merino wool & bamboo, they are temperature regulating and lightweight. You can wear them under your normal clothes to keep you warm.
My personal favorite style for all the plus size ladies is when you pair them with a flouncy skirt and tucked-in top that accentuates your curves without compromising on the warmth.

Best winter wear for plus sizes for women
When you think of winter wear for plus size women, there are very few options that come to mind. But to help things more, here are our top 3 picks for the winter fashion must-have that every curvy woman should own.
Trench coat
A trench Coat is one of the best winter layers that you can own. It can add that extra oomph to your outfit at the same time keeping you warm. It’s a God-sent especially for all the curvy ladies out there. The fact that most trench coats come with a belt adds to this. It could be a cropped or a full-length trench coat. You can pair them up with your regular T-shirt/top and a pair of cropped jeans/trousers.
If you are in the mood to dress up, you can also don a beautiful dress that accentuates your silhouette with the thermal bottom to keep you warm and layer it with the trench coat.
Kosha has trench coats from sizes S to 5XL. It is made of wool with a polyester coating to protect you from external factors.

Parka Jacket
One of the most famous winter packets of all time, the parka jacket originated in Canada and was made out of animal skin. Due to the heavy insulation and style, the jacket quickly gained popularity and became a favorite across the globe.
Parka jackets can be worn unzipped or zipped depending on the weather and the look you are aiming for. When worn with a peplum top or sweater top, they add a nice touch to the overall look. They are all pretty great in functionality as they are usually wind/water/ snowproof and come with a detachable hood. Generally, lengthier they can help you pull off both casual and formal looks pretty well.
Kosha has parka jackets from sizes S to 7XL. Made with a nylon coating and polyfill insulation, they have a detachable hood with faux fur. They also have arm vent zips and are available in attractive colors like red, beige, navy, black and golden.

Turtleneck Sweaters
A classic and absolute must-have for a plus size winter wardrobe, turtleneck sweaters are a lifesaver for curvy bodies. It is one of those products that can be styled several ways without looking worn out or out of style.
You can have a solid black turtleneck sweater, a pair of high-waisted blue jeans, a woolen trench, and heels for an evergreen look. You can swap the trench coat with a parka or puffer jacket for more insulation.
If you are wearing straight-fit jeans, you can go for a pair of sneakers for a casual look. You can also wear a pair of cropped trousers instead of jeans for a more put-together look. The sweater also works wonders with an A-line skirt or a well-fitted dress to give a chic look.

Styling tips for winter outfits for plus size ladies
Apart from the must-haves, here are some quick pointers that you can always keep in mind to enhance your winter style.
Accessories to the rescue!
Focus on adding colorful and pop-colored accessories that can highlight your look. You can have a pretty solid or monotonous look and then add that color pop with a red or lime muffler.
Similar to the case of beanies. Kosha has many colorful mufflers and multipurpose beanies that can not just enhance your look but also keep you super warm.
Don’t forget the belts!
Belts can be magical if used with the right attire. Belts are great in providing definition to an otherwise shapeless attire. It is one of the best friends of curvy girls as it helps in accentuating the waist and gives a great shape.
Whether it is a loose sweater dress, a long shirt, or a normal top and jeans, belts can always work wonders in creating a more stylish look.
Keep it simple, yet stylish!
One common misconception with winter layers is that too many layers mean more warmth. That is completely wrong. With the right layer, you can be warm without adding on many other layers.
For example, many people forego base layers and just keep on adding jackets to their normal top wear which not just adds to the extra weight but does not really work well as the layer which keeps your body warm and dry is missing.
Also, choose layers without too many patterns or prints. Solid or simple designs always have a slimmer effect over the heavy patterned ones.
Colors Matter!
Choose the color that not only works well for you but also goes well with the rest of the layers. It is always great to go from dark to bright in your layers. Let your base layers be dark or solid and as you move to the outer shells you can opt for popping or bright colors that go well with the place, the entire outfit, and your skin tone.
Always know that you are beautiful no matter what shape, color, or race you are from. All these tips are generic and can vary from person to person. If you feel like you can rock an otherwise unconventional style, don’t let society’s convention of the ideal body stop you. Go ahead and rock that look that you always wanted.
We at Kosha respect all body shapes and believe that every body shape is the ideal shape. Our clothes are also designed with that principle in mind. If you find a design that you really love in our store or website but are unable to find it in your measurement, we would be more than happy to customize it for you if possible.
