Ok, I admit it, until today, I’ve never actually worn a white suit… and the one pair of white linen pants I bought 6 years ago languished in my closet…unloved and unworn. But white is having a major moment right now, and I’ve recently had visions of bright white suits dancing in my head–so elegant, fresh and refined. Well, I will NOT be denied. When I saw the spring collection from Jessica London, I knew it was time to make the dream of the “great white suit” a reality.

The trick to a white suit for plussize women is to make sure the pants are streamlined…while the material is thick enough to lay nicely and not see-through. These Jessica London Stretch Denim Jeggings were just right for my shape! I like a very slim fit through the leg, and I balance the look with a looser top half. An elastic waistband makes for easy on-and-off and lays flat underneath your shirts, instead of the bulk of a button and zipper. Also, I love that they hit right at the ankle, which shows off your cute summer sandals and pedi perfectly!

I’m So Miami-Vicing it here, right???

This Jessica London Single-Breasted Linen Blazer in white has a nice weight to it and looks fantastic paired with white denim jeggings. For those of you who like a roomier, boxier fit to your blazers, this one is meant for you!  Many of my plussize gal pals like blazers that cover their bums and hang below the hips, so if that is what you’re looking for, I encourage you to try this one. It does run a bit big, so I would recommend sizing down.
