Trend Tuesday: We Are Cardigan Crazy! Melissa McCarthy Proves a Cardigan’s Mix-and-Match Magic

Congratulations to Melissa McCarthy—not only for her recent gig as the Primetime Emmy Nominations announcer, but for an Emmy nod of her very own!  Melissa’s weekly portrayal of fourth-grade school teacher Molly Flynn in CBS’s new Monday night sit-com “Mike and Molly” radiates confidence, and is performed with a certain comedic energy we cannot help but love.  

Throughout her career as an actress on television shows such as “Gilmore Girls” and movies such as the recent blockbuster hit “Bridesmaids,” Melissa’s style reflects how confident she is with embracing her curves and her knack for finding fun and feminine full-figured trends that work perfectly with her figure.  For example, her character Molly’s versatile use of layering the simple colorful cardigan with vibrant tops and sundresses proves that women from petite and pear-shaped to tall and full-bust figured can most certainly have fun with her fashion within everyday life.

Want to enhance your everyday style the same way Melissa does on “Mike and Molly?” Roaman’s provides all the plus-size apparel options you need to mix-and-match cute cardigans with your favorite knit tops and dresses!  (*Also, as a bonus to your cardigan-craziness, we can prove how you can wear them from the summertime straight into autumn!)

 

Cardigans and Sundresses in the Summertime:

As a transitional piece, you can use your cardigan as a stylish cover-up to match your favorite sundress!  In cold office environments during those hot summer months, as well as during summertime celebrations, have fun with your special occasion outfit by mixing a bright-colored cardigan with a patterned dress. 

To get the look try  layering our Cropped Sweater by La Redoute in Passion Pink or our Cropped Cardigan in Pale Lilac or Pale Blush over any of our casual dresses!

Cardigans with Tops and Jeans in the Fall:

As hot August temperatures dwindle into crisp gusts of wind during autumn months, make sure your cardigan doesn’t go into that box in the back of your closet labeled “Summer Clothes.”  Melissa McCarthy shows us how a colorful cardigan can re-invent any floral-themed spring or summer outfit with layering! 

All of our sweaters such as the Pointed Tip Cardigan and Sequined Boyfriend Cardigan are perfect to wear with your favorite plus-size knit tops and your comfiest jeans. 

For more great fashion check out Roaman's today for great deals and great plus size style!

Trend Advice by Veronica

Hello, my name is Veronica and I work for Roaman's. While on vacation recently I wore a long blue maxi dress in Cabo, Mexico and it’s now my favorite dress! I got so many compliments on it and it was so easy to wear. I could throw on over my bathing suit or wear it to dinner. It was cool for the hot weather and forgiving. I noticed that it’s a real hot trend for this spring and summer so I plan on buying a few more for myself. It’s free flowing and effortless style makes it so easy to look good at any size or shape. I love my maxi so much that I decided to incorporate it into our dress assortment for Roaman's. I hope you can find some fun maxi dresses on our website and love it as much as I love mine!
