Winter is here and it’s coat season. This is my favorite fashion time of the year. I love winter coats and what better than a snazzy hat to complete your outfit. I am a huge fan of capes. They add instant chic to ANY outfit and are kind to plus-size bodies. If you have not already heard of SHEIN, they are a super budget online retailer that offers plus size clothing up to a 5x, which equals a U.S. 22 per their charts. During these challenging times, you do not have to sacrifice style for price. I am wearing SHEIN’s $33 herringbone brown cape. SHOP HERE for plus size coats and capes in similar options. Shein clothing tends to sell out quickly.
What is SHEIN?
SHEIN offers numerous budget-friendly coat options exclusively online. Their CURVE + PLUS section includes tops, pants, dresses, evening wear, hats, athletic wear, lingerie, and outerwear. Coats are typically priced up to $50 but most are in the mid-$30 range. Low prices do not necessarily mean low quality. When shopping for plus-size coats with Shein, look for lined coats, fabrics with a wool-mix, and always check the reviews. Many of their coats use a polyester blend as the primary fabric so they are great for lightweight winter weather. SHOP my $34 Plus Drop Shoulder Houndstooth Tweed Coat HERE. It is a nice weight, oversized, and lined. Never forget about hats as accessories. They add extra flair. Pair the coat with my $6 SHEIN herringbone hat HERE.
Budget Winter Leopard Coats
If you know anything about me, you know I love leopard. SHEIN offers great leopard coats in full length and jacket silhouettes. Many choices are teddy coats that are lightweight and soft in nature. The leopard teddy jacket shown above features an open front and goes great with SHEIN’s faux leather caramel skirt, which can be purchased HERE. Buy the jacket HERE.
How to Shop at Shein
At SHEIN, to order plus size winter coats with the best fit, the size chart is EVERYTHING. I L.O.V.E the fact that every garment is measured. Yes, you will know the REAL size of each item. And, many choices include the bicep width, which for gals with large arms like me, is fabulous. The size chart is as follows.
| 12(0XL) | 14(1XL) | 16(2XL) | 18(3XL) | 20(4XL) | 22(5XL) |
In addition to the above chart, always review the Measurement and Fit section of each item. It provides the truest depiction of whether the apparel will fit your size and shape.

The selection of coats includes long length, mid-length, jackets, and capes. Consider great prints like the tartan plaid and buffalo checks that are trendy this season. For hassle-free shopping, SHEIN offers FREE returns. If the fit is off or you just don’t like the look of the clothing on you, return it for a full refund! Purchase the red plaid coat HERE and the green tartan coat HERE.
For those of you living in milder weather climates, a lightweight cape overlay can be just the style for chilly nights. This black stretch Mock-Neck Button Detail Cape is only $16. Buy it HERE.
