When you’re putting together a winter capsule wardrobe for plus size winter outfits, remember these 5 things: base top, bottoms, layering pieces, accessories, and shoes. Another thing to keep in mind with winter outfits are proportions. Be sure to balance your layers with different fits.

You can even find a pair with more added details, such as rips, zippers, and ribbed details.
