Plus Size Linen Pants Work Outfit
Outfit Details
This plus size outfit is for business casual dress codes.
I topped the look with a modern cut red double-breasted blazer.
I love this combination!
However, the blazer is polyester and may be too warm for some climates.
If that’s the case, opt for a lightweight red cardigan.
It has a similar effect.
Any white underlayer will work, I opted for this rib-knit tank.
And as the title of this post suggests, these outfits feature linen pants.
Linen Keeps You Cool
These black and white plus size pants in these outfits are a linen blend.
Linen is just a classy fabric. Period. It drapes in a lovely and unmistakable way.
And linen is a natural fiber known for keeping you cool in hot weather. Yes!
That’s because linen breathes and absorbs moisture.
But Linen Wrinkles…
Linen might seem difficult to deal with, but it’s actually quite easy. And it’s machine washable!
As I’ve said, people often ask me how to keep their linen clothes from wrinkling.
For one, linen is always going to wrinkle. Always.
And really, that is part of “the look.” You know, that rich bougie b!tch look that I love so much!
Two, a linen-blend, like these pants, will wrinkle less.
And three, if you iron with starch, linen will wrinkle slightly less. But, I say, just let it go!
Accessories
For accessories, I chose a stunning Saint Laurent quilted calfskin tote bag.
Why not show out at work? Lol.
Add some Marc Jacobs oversized black sunnies.
For jewelry, this statement necklace in vintage gold will turn heads.
Add some of my favorite gold hoop earrings.
Go for the smaller versions for more conservative offices.
A bracelet and ring add round out the gold accents.
And for footwear, I chose these low heeled slide sandals in black.
Dress Codes & Sandals
In past spring and summer work outfits I am frequently asked: where are the sandals?
In my opinion, sandals always look less professional than a closed-toe flat or heel.
But every organization has a dress code so I’d use that as the guide.
If you need to wear a closed toe shoe, try these.
Beauty
A red lip is practically necessary. Make sure you choose the “right” red for your skin’s undertone.
The liquid lip featured is better for warmer complexions.
For a neutral option, try MAC’s “Feels So Grand.”
My favorite neutral red liquid lipstick is “Always Red” from Sephora.
For cool toned skin, look for a red with more of a blue undertone like MAC’s “Dance with Me.”

Add some color with my favorite bronzer.
If you’re on a budget or need a different shade, check out this bronzer. It’s also a favorite.
Perfume
Smell like a rich b!tch with one of my favorite scents: Chanel’s Gabrielle.
And now you can smell like a rich b!tch while on a budget with the perfume brand, Dossier.
I recently tried several fragrances. And so far, I love them!
Dossier’s “Floral Ylang Ylang” is inspired by Chanel’s Gabrielle.
Oh la la! An amazing luxury scent at a fraction of the price!
