In the throes of the summer heat, dressing to impress becomes a low-level priority and instead, keeping cool remains our top—and only—concern.
Luckily, it is possible to dress up and cool down, and we don't just mean by throwing on a sundress. With flattering shorts and pants made of breathable fabrics, tie-front tops and more, this summer will be your most stylish season yet, and you won't even have to break a sweat.
Beating the heat shouldn't have to mean sacrificing style—and thanks to eBay's selection of affordable plus size summer staples, it doesn't have to anymore!
Check out our guide below for all curvy girl must-haves this summer, and prepare to be amazed at how stylish and fresh you feel.
Tie-Front Top
A tie-front top is a summer wardrobe staple that slims the stomach area by scrunching at the waist. Whether you're heading to the beach or just picking an outfit for work, this trimming top is perfect for any occasion and can be paired with everything—it even works layered over a maxi dress.
Printed Pants
Every girl knows that heat equals chafing, so sometimes we need to give our thighs a break and sport pants for a few days.
Thankfully, printed pants in breathable fabrics like rayon are a win-win: Not only do they spare our thighs, but the pattern creates an optical illusion that lengthens the legs and whittles the waist.
Peplum Dress
No matter what season it is, peplum is the answer to every full-figured girl's prayers when it comes to putting together a fashion-forward, flattering outfit. With a ruffle trim that masks the stomach area and a variety of styles to choose from, a peplum dress just can't be beat.
Mesh Swimsuit
When you want to work your curves at the pool, slip into a mesh swimsuit. The mesh lining emphasizes your best assets with a flair of fashion.
Off-The-Shoulder Top
For a sweet ensemble that shows off your toned shoulders, go with an off-the-shoulder top. Plus, if you wear this out in the sun all day, you won't have any awkward tan lines to deal with.
