There are few women in public life as beloved by other women as Chrissie Swan. It’s truly challenging to think of anyone so universally liked, admired and flat-out adored. Her warmth, wit, determination to be herself and general positivity make her just, well, the girl you want to be friends with.
Oh look, we’re gushing.
Something else Chrissie does is wear clothes well. No easy thing when you’re plus size and your choices are ridiculously limited. At Mamamia, we’re going to change that. We’re in the process of dramatically expanding the plus size range on our shopping site but we need your help. What are the best plus sized fashion labels in Australia?
What items are you looking for but can’t find?
Meanwhile, today we’ve taken some style cues from Chrissie Swan – who looked stylish and more than a little bit foxy when she was on The Circle every day and ditto now on Can Of Worms on Monday nights. Chrissie nails the casual/corporate look while still bringing a sense of fun to what she wears.
We’ve curated some key pieces (for different budgets) you can steal as we show you how Chrissie Swan does smart casual. No stylist required.
Like what you see? Well, there’s more. Lots more. So much more. Where that came from.
Head here to shop MORE Chrissie-inspired fashion on Mamamia Shopping…
This ‘Shop Her Style’ post is going to be a new Mamamia regular so tell us who you’d like to see us feature? If you could shop the style of any celeb or high profile woman, who would it be?
And MM plus-size readers, hit us up with your suggestions for labels you like that you think we should have at the Mamamia Shop….

If you want some inspiration for plus size brands, have a look at my Pinterest boards - http://pinterest.com/whoozq... - especially the My Style, Plus Size Fashion boards. Im tall, wear a 24/26 and prefer TS14+, Towanda, Igigi, Kiyonna, and other US brands - quality and style so much more plus size positive overseas compared to most local brands. Im also starting to get into what the germans call the 'lagenlook' which is about art wear, layers and textures.
For nice outfits I have given up on Aussie stores this year. I have been a few times to City Chic and walked away with nothing ... and don't get me started on their evening range - strapless dresses & plus sizes do not mix. I am a firm favourite of Igigi and Kiyonna from the US. Cut to fit, curves in all the right places and very feminine.
