A plus size green shorts outfit idea for my “plus size on a budget series!”
Plus Size on a Budget – Green Shorts
My “Disclaimer”
I want to prevent some anticipated feedback. So please keep these things in mind:
- “Budget” is relative. Some people easily spend $300 on sunglasses, while other people allocate $300 for their annual clothing budget.
- You may be able to find these items elsewhere for less. These are just some “budget-friendly” finds I have come across. And I typically don’t link to clearance items because they sell out and then people are disappointed. Also, I have no way of linking to thrift stores, but obviously, if you want to check out your local thrift stores, I think that is a great idea!
- Recycle & reuse. As with all of my posts, I hope that you can use the pieces you already have in your wardrobe. Additionally, I assume that you can reuse all of the pieces below in other combinations with things in your closet to create a variety of looks. Meaning, I think it is unfair to judge the expense of one outfit as though that is the only way to wear the pieces.

Outfit Details
A plus size casual summer outfit on a budget.
Start with some khaki green cargo shorts.
I like the length of these, 7″, technically Bermuda shorts.
Make it pop with a magenta pink tee. These are complementary colors.
Add a plus size sling bag. The bag extends up to 60″.
Top the look with a straw baseball cap and finish it with footbed sandals, which also come in wide width.
Jewelry & Lipstick
For jewelry, add my favorite gold hoops in their smallest size.
I have these in all four sizes and love them!
Add a trendy layered necklace and a set of delicate gold bracelets.
Lastly, add this gold ring to wear on your thumb or index finger.
As for lipstick, choose one that is pink with a cool undertone like “Tickled Pink.”
Jewelry Care
These beauties are gold plated, so you might need to “baby” them for longevity.
Avoid the obvious: showers, pools, spraying your wrist with perfume while wearing them.
Store them in air-tight plastic bags, if possible. This will keep the plating from damage and tarnishing.
