Winter is an inspiring time of year when new and exciting fashion trends kick into gear. With a slight chill in the air and winter weather nipping at our heels, there are a variety of fun and savvy styles that will help us hang on to our sunny disposition for many months to come.

Booties
Booties are also known as ankle boots and are a chic way to add appeal to any look.  From boyfriend jeans to business suits booties add an element of style and creativity that will make it look as though you just stepped off the runway.

Graphic Lines and Bold Prints
Stay inspired by wearing a variety of bold and graphic prints.  Pick one piece and take it to the next level by pairing it with a graphic or bold design.  A vest, blazer, jacket or skirt with a unique pattern will give your look some pep and help boost your style from trendy to trend setting.

Fun Accessories
Pull an outfit together by adding a funky pendant, bangle bracelets or a pair of dew drop earrings.  The key to accessorizing is originality.  Look for new and original pieces or find some fabulous and fun costume jewelry.

Eco Friendly Shoulder Bags
Chic and environmentally friendly handbags are a surefire way to look fabulous while remaining eco-conscious.  If you are looking for a way to stand out from the crowd try a handbag made from recycled chopsticks, candy wrappers, felt, bamboo, truck tarps and inner tubes.  While this may not sound fashionable – one look at these eco friendly handbags will show you just how fun and fashionable recycled products can be.

Belted Coats
Cream colored belted coats with large collars and ¾ bell sleeves are the must have of the fall and winter season.  The ¾ bell sleeves add a feminine touch while the belt allows the coat to be tied at the waist creating a lovely v shape.  The length and fabric used to create a belted coat varies as do the price ranges.  Pick one coat in a cream color to last for many seasons to come.

When it comes to creative style and fashion flare don’t be shy!  Style is an expression of one’s inner self but it doesn’t mean you can’t try something new or out of the ordinary.  Pick one or two fashion trends and add your own spin on it or embrace something new, unique or visionary and add it to your wardrobe.

Here are two Hot Picks from Swimsuit For All’s plus size swim wear collection, including customer comments.

Longitude Amalfi Plus Size Cross Back One Piece Swimsuit

“This is a great swimsuit for plus size ladies! Good fit, try to size, room in cups, stays in place, does not ride up so you are not constantly tugging it back into place. Stretched with you and looks good. Colors are bright and even after being in the pool many times, it does not fade. I would recommend this suit to all my friends!”
