Denim is one of those classic staples that NEVER gets old. Whether it is jeans or dungarees or a denim shirt, anything in this fabric is always du jour. From light to dark washes denim is something that you can reply on season after season and fashion never seems to have enough of it.
This is definitely a trend that plus size brands have really got on board with and the denim within the plus size market has hugely improved in recent years.
With the revival of 90’s grunge, denim has gone through a slightly distressed period but a classic denim shirt is always a wardrobe staple.

And if you’re anything like team SLiNK you might find that at least 40% of your wardrobe is made up of pieces dedicated to this humble fabric.
Whether it is an on trend denim shirt dress or a denim shirt worn open over a cami – jacket style, or buttoned and tied at the waist, this is such a versatile style piece that you can wear your way! Dress it up by adding a statement necklace or keep it casual in double denim and and a tanned shoe. Either way, make these 12 your own and rock it your way.
Dark Wash Torrid
A classic dark wash is the smartest way to rock denim, we love the pearl shade buttons on this that really brighten this earthy blue shade. This will go great with black so don’t be afraid to rock with black jeans.
Light Wash Shirt Torrid
Light wash denim is definitely channeling 90’s style this season. This is super casual so either button through or leave open with a white vest top an team with jeans. This wash is GREAT with white denim jeans too.
Forever 21Another great light wash denim shirt, this one here from Forever 21 Plus is slightly longer than the Torrid shirt and a slightly darker shade. That’s the beauty with denim, the variety of washes. Each brand, each shirt will be slightly different so there’s always a reason to shop!
Alice & You @ Simply Be
One word… OBSESSED! Our editor, Rivkie Baum has multiple denim shirt dresses. They are super versatile, say to wear, can be dressed up or down and always look on trend. Shirt dresses are major this season and the slight swing on this silhouette gives it that little style twist. A perfect plus size dress!
Block coloured shirt ASOS Curve
Trust ASOS Curve to take the trend and sprinkle some style magic onto it. We love that ASOS Curve makes plus size cool and nothing is cooler than this blocked panelled denim shirt. The length is great as it will look great with leggings or skinny jeans and the varying shades of denim means this plus size shirt will work just as well with white, black or blue jeans!
Oversized Shirt Dress ASOS Curve
Another ASOS Curve winner, this oversized shirt dress is bang on trend and so easy to wear. Whether you’re opting for bare legs or rocking over skinnies or leggings, this is the shirt dress that will live through season after season. Layer it up on cooler days with knitwear or rock on a super sunny day when you need something loose and cool. For those wanting to create an hour glass silhouette simply throw a belt on with this look or keep it vintage and use a scarf to cinch it. Button up to the collar and layer some gold trinket necklaces and chunky ringers for that East London look – see versatile!
Denim Tee Curve @ New Look
Because let’s face it, not everyone likes a shirt and that’s ok! In which case, try your hand at this cheeky little number and grab this denim tee from New Look’s rebranded Curve range. Again, super easy to layer with and a real, through on and chill piece.
Double Pocket Curve @ New Look
But if you do want to join the denim shirt gang, New Look have you covered here too.
Super classic, long denim shirt with long sleeve and two breast pockets. Because for years everyone feared pockets on plus size boobs, but let’s face it, you have them, they rock, it doesn’t matter. Style and classic silhouettes like a denim shirt are for all.
Snap Front Fashion to Figure
Love this shirt. Snap front fastening – Check! Faded Acid Wash – Check, Tab sleeves – Check. This one has it all. The fading and acid wash means it will work great across a host of denim jeans from grey to white and classic blue. Team with some tan boots or trainers it works with it all.
High to Low Shirt Fashion to Figure
Another cute shirt from Fashion to Figure, we love the high low silhouette on this shirt. If you like things to cover your bum then this is the denim shirt for you. We love the side tab tie sleeves too – so much more secure than spending all day rolling them up. Team with leggings for laid back style.
Style & Co Short Sleeves Macy’s
Most denim shirts on the market are a classic, long sleeve, Levi original style look, so we love the rolled, short sleeve on this shirt from Macy’s. In colder months try popping a long sleeve tee in a block shade or a bretton stripe underneath, or even a polo neck to make this work all the way through winter.
Light denim distressed shirt RI Plus
Love this tunic length denim shirt in on season distressed style. The longer length makes it a great alternative to a dress and works great over leggings or skinny jeans.
