Where Online to Buy Plus Size Skirts

Shopping for plus-size skirts doesn't have to be difficult at all. In fact, every store on this list has a chain of stores that you can walk right into if there is one locally in your town, as well as an online store as a second option.

Lane Bryant has a chain of stores nationwide that offer plus size clothing for young women and mature women alike. If there is not a Lane Bryant department near you, you can visit them on the web as well at http://wwwlanebryant.com. Sign up for their newsletter by email or postal mail for even more discounts. Lane Bryant sells clothing from size 14 to size 32. However, in their special size section online, they do have a few items both under and over that range. Year long, they are always prepared with skirts that are is season and very fashionable. You can find fun and flirty skirts there, as well as modern and professional. They have skirts for every personality or occasion. Most will run you around $29.99-$39.99, however, if you shop in their clearance section, they often have skirts as low as $14.99.

Teens and young adults will appreciate the clothing at Torrid. Not only does Torrid specialize in plus-size clothing, but they offer a young and fashion forward style found at other stores that usually are not plus-sized. This way, teens and young women can finally fit in, fashionably with the crowd. The offer fun clothing that is always in style, from casual school wear to formal gowns, Torrid has it all. The skirts at Torrid are really cool because they offer a variety of choices. You can find jean skirts there, as well as plaid, ruffles, a-line and more. Here's the direct link to their skirts here. Most will run you about $38, however, like Lane Bryant, they often have skirts on sale for half that price in their clearance section. Torrid stores can be found mainly in local malls, as well as online: http://www.torrid.com. Sign up with DivaStyle to earn a 5% discount on clothing (details on site). Sizes range from 12-26.

Fashion Bug has a chain of stores, some of which carry plus-size clothing. Their clothing can also be found online: http://www.fashionbug.com. What I like about Fashion Bug is their sales. Almost year-round you can find sales of new arrivals that are buy one, get one for a penny. They do this kind of sale all the time which makes it a perfect time to stock up on skirts for work, school, or going out. Their online collection is pretty limited so I suggest visiting them in-store for the best variety of skirts available. From personal experience, the majority of their skirts seemed to be pretty dressy and flow-y.

Many of the items found at Old Navy can also be found in 1X sizes and up to size 20 in bottoms. However, Old Navy online sells a line of plus size clothing from sizes 16-30. The majority of their skirts are in plain, versatile colors that can be paired with a variety of shirts. Check their site regularly for clearance deals. http://www.oldnavy.com (click on Women's Plus)

Catherine's sells clothing from size 16W-32W. I would not recommend Catherine's for young women or teens. Catherine's target audience is for more of a mature woman. They sell nice clothing that can be used for weddings or receptions, but also clothing that is more casual, athletic clothing, or clothing for the office. If you are looking for some plus-size clothing that can really fit your lifestyle that says "well put together" I think you'll like Catherine's. Head into a Catherine's store or visit them online to see their collection of skirts: http://www.catherines.com/pagebuilder/HOME.

Avenue sells women's fashions from size 14-32. Click here to see their line of really beautiful skirts. Avenue has some of the best looking plus-size clothing all year long. You can walk into their store any day of the week and find really neat clothing that fits whatever occasion you are shopping for. Their skirts always have the theme of fun, flirty, or professional and elegant. I don't think you'll be disappointed in them. Shop in stores or online. The benefit of shopping in-store means looking at the clearance rack which almost always has skirts on sale for $9.99-$14.99, everyday!
