Flip open a fashion magazine and you’re likely to find a long list of dos and don’ts based on body shape, height, or size—especially when it comes to plus size outfits. Here at Dia&Co, we don’t believe in those limitations—we think you should only wear what makes you feel absolutely incredible. Check out our 5 favorite “rules” to break and add the one you love most to your style bucket list.

Gingham flats and layered necklaces elevate the casual.
Denim is a must-have staple that belongs in every woman’s closet—not just those of a certain size. And if you ask us, the “skinny” silhouette is one of the most versatile when it comes to plus size outfits. They can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on what you pair them with. Confidently reach for the skinny jeans of your choice and have fun making this classic style uniquely you!

Treat stripes as a neutral and add bold pops of color.

Keep it simple by layering on a distressed denim jacket.
We love all prints, but stripes always find a way to top our lists. That’s because it strikes the perfect balance between classic and of-the-moment. There’s a rumor going around that plus size women shouldn’t wear horizontal stripes and we couldn’t disagree more. Whatever direction of this timeless pattern is your favorite, wear it with pride.

Break up a monochrome look with a white belt.
The jumpsuit trend is all the rage and it’s not going away anytime soon. This one-piece wonder makes looking stylish a breeze, so it’s no wonder why it’s so popular. To those who think there’s a certain body shape that works best for this style, think again. Find a silhouette and color that feels totally you and rock it boldly.

A tassel belt lets you play around with silhouette.
There can never be too much of a good thing—especially if we’re talking prints. While some may worry that head-to-toe prints can be overwhelming, we think that a vibrant maxi is the definition of effortless style. It’s the perfect flowy silhouette for summer. After all, why blend in when you can stand out?

Choose a top with white details to keep the theme going.
If loving this style is wrong, then we don’t want to be right. White denim has summer written all over it—and is a chic alternative to the classic shade. Think of it as a blank canvas for whatever other colors and prints you’d like to play with it. This year, forget white denim’s Labor Day expiration date and keep wearing it for as long as you love it.
