Plus Size Spring Outfits with rue21
Spring Trends
When it comes to finding cute, affordable, and on-trend plus size clothing, we all know it can be a struggle. Luckily, I was able to find all the pieces I needed at rue21 to try out THREE of springs hottest trends:
Boho: flowing fabrics, soft colors, earth tone inspired palettes
Edgy: rock n roll inspired details, grunge elements, and distressing
90s Vibes: pastels, butterflies, crop tops and more
With styles in sizes up to 4xl, I was really impressed with the fit of everything! I had received a lot of requests on my TikTok videos to review rue21‘s denim line and I was SO GLAD I DID. Both pairs I used to create these looks got high marks in my book. Anyways, enough chatter, lets get to the actually looks!
Plus Size Boho Outfit
I love creating looks that are cute AND comfy. I lead a pretty casual life and living in California we generally keep things pretty relaxed, so boho vibes are a go-to for me. Luckily its also a super on-trend look and rue21 had the perfect pieces to help me make this plus size spring outfit with some bohemian energy!
I started with these amazing jeans (ultimate stretch) and then added this adorable crochet lace style bralette under this flowing floral top. I also thought this cute hat topped everything off perfectly!
Plus Size Edgy Style
Kind of in line with the 90s vibes we are seeing (and I’ll talk about shortly!) I am LIVING for the comeback of the rock / edgy inspired details. From ripped jeans to studs, combat boots to band tees, I love how it lets us show our personality. I also think its a really easy way to make a casual everyday look a little more interesting!
To create these vibes, rue21 had me totally covered:
Ripped black jeans (wearing my true size in these jeggings), a distressed ACDC t shirt (I got SO MANY questions about this on my TikTok!), safety pin hair clips, chain detail bag and VOILA!
90s Vibes Outfits
We are seeing SUCH a resurgence of 90s inspired looks and as a kid who grew up in the 90s, I am HERE FOR IT. Nothing says 90s to me more then…BUTTERFLIES. From butterfly prints to patches to clips, they were everywhere. This butterfly top from rue21 is the perfect base for bringing that 90s energy into your plus size spring outfits.
I added the same ultimate stretch jegging from before (so comfy), butterfly earrings and THE COZIEST cardigan that I think the whole cast of Clueless would approve of.
