Top Plus Size Denim Jackets for Fall 2007

Denim jackets are versatile items that belong in every plus size woman's closet. Denim jackets add structure and shape, cover bulges and body flaws, and add just a touch of casual polish to an otherwise bland look. Best of all, you can keep your plus size denim jacket by the front door for those warm but breezy autumn days when a coat would be too much. But where can you find the plus size denim jacket of your dreams this Fall?

Your first stop ought to be Lane Bryant. Lane Bryant's covered button denim jacket has beautiful darting and shaping to slim down the body. But the best part about this jacket is the feminine touches, and the little bit of stretch fabric added to the denim. With a petite notched collar and a flirty peplum at the hem, you can wear it over a flowery a-line skirt for a date, or with a smart pair of khakis for a weekend walk in the park.

But if you're more of a tom-boy, Lane Bryant has a more classically styled plus size denim jacket for you. Their peplum denim jacket is boxier and more boyish in shape, in spite of the flirty sleeves. Wear it with your favorite white skirt for afternoon brunch, or over a pair of capris for shopping in the mall.

For those plus size women looking for more coverage out of a structured jacket, Roamans is offering a plus size denim jacket with button detailing that is 30 inches from shoulder to hem. This length might overwhelm petite women, so if you are short-waisted, consider Avenue's plus size denim jacket which is only 21 inches long. Depending on the length of your torso, Avenue's denim jacket could serve the same purpose as a shrug or cropped jacket.

Remember too that denim doesn't only come in blue. You can dress up an outfit with a denim jacket from Jessica London in island blue or lime green! If you're too timid for that, this plus size denim jacket also comes in a crisp white. If neutrals are your style, Catherine's has a sand-blasted denim jacket in safari brown. It's boxier than any of the others in this review, but this plus size denim jacket does have seaming for a more tailored fit, and the color is unique enough to earn its place in your closet.
