Buying Guide
Shopping for plus size clothing doesn’t have to be a challenge, as long as you know your measurements and how the manufacturer’s sizing works. Brands will have variations in how their clothing fits, but this holds true for all manufacturers.
For plus sizes, most charts start at 0X or 12, which is the same as a regular size large, or 12/14. The next size is 1X or 14/16, comparable to a regular XL or 16/18.
From there, you’ll find that regular size XXL or 20/22 is equal to a plus size 2X or 18/20. From there, the plus sizes are 3X or 22/24, 4X or 26/28 and 5X or 30/32.
You don’t have to worry so much about exact sizing with open jackets, since they allow for more room all around. The style you pick really depends on what looks and feels best; blazers, bomber jackets and cardigans are three good choices. And with the holidays right around the corner, a sequined jacket could be just the thing.
Sequined jackets do not have to be formal like in the old days. Today’s versions can quickly jazz up casual looks, command attention on a dance floor or be worn with gowns. Heavily sequined jackets should have linings to make them more comfortable and to prevent the sequins from scratching any skin you’ve got exposed beneath.
You can find plus-size sequin jackets in colors like black, silver, gold and green, or even versions with multi-colored sequins all over the outside. Sequins also come in different sizes, ranging from tiny to comparatively large. Their size will obviously alter the look.
Blazer sequined jackets have open fronts and more of a structured look, but they can still be worn loose and relaxed. Bombers are sportier, with zippers and cuffs at the sleeves and bottom. You can also find jackets that have sequins decorating them, but are not completely covered with glittering pieces. To make even more of a fashion statement, look for matching sets like tracksuits.
What to Look For
- Sequins will add weight to a garment, so if the jacket is covered with them, it will likely be heavier than other kinds of clothing. If the weight of the jacket is shown in its description, take a look and make sure it won’t weigh you down too much.
- Some people think that sequined clothing adds enough bling to an outfit, and they may not like wearing any jewelry with sequins. This decision is totally up to you, of course. If you feel fine adding on more sparkle, then go for it.
- That being said, you might want to avoid wearing a fully sequined top and pants with your sequined jacket, unless you’re going for a really over-the-top fashion statement.
- Bright shoes and handbags look great with sequined jackets.
- Make sure that a fully sequined jacket is also fully lined before buying it for maximum wearability.

The word “sequin” comes from the Arabic “sikka” and the Venetian “zeccino”; it eventually evolved into the French word we use in English today.
The history of sequined clothing dates back to when people used to attach coins to their clothing to keep their money safe. As you can imagine, it was not easy to attach thick, heavy coins to clothing, and in 1922 when King Tut’s tomb was opened, archaeologists discovered garments that were decorated with small disks made from pure gold.
The idea was replicated in flapper dresses in the 1920s. Designers sewed on small, thin metal sequins onto the fabrics. Today, sequins are made from plastic or mylar, making them much lighter and easier to care for.
