On today’s blog post, I’m sharing a list of outfit ideas for plus size folks who are looking for masculine clothing, androgynous outfits or who identify as butch!
This blog post is all about plus size masculine and androgynous outfits.
Masculine of Center, Androgynous & Butch Plus Size Outfits
I’ve wanted to put this round up of plus size masculine of center outfits together for a while, but something stopped me:
Using words to describe gender is complicated.
And, what the heck do we even mean by “masculine clothing” anyways? Like, clothing has no gender.
Le duh.
Buuuut, people are using these terms to find resources
That said, I *know* that folks are looking for specific style lines and silhouettes when we talk about “masculine plus size fashion.”
I know folks are looking for these clothing items, because they often message me on Instagram asking for outfit ideas and brands to check out. I’ve put together this post as a sort of stylist, sharing plus size outfit ideas and options that some folks may gravitate to. I don’t expect every human to want to purchase every outfit on this list. <3
(I also wrote blog post HERE with a round up of brands that make plus size masculine clothing for androgynous and butch folks!)
If you’re typing those words into Google, it’s because you’re probably looking for plus size clothing that is gender affirming. Generally, folks are looking for:
- Clothing that doesn’t “nip in” at the waist
- Plus size masculine button down shirts
- Plus size masculine or butch clothing in patterns we typically find in the “men’s” section
- Plus size blazers or suit jackets that look “more masculine”

Please be sure to check all product information with the brand before purchasing, as their info will be the most up-to-date! Ty! <3]
Plus Size Masculine Clothing
SO, because of this, I have put together this list of outfit ideas (with LINKS) for plus size folks who are looking for androgynous, masculine, butch, etc, clothing styles.
I am *NOT* saying that I have the definition for these words, or what these identities mean to their respective communities.
Rather, I hope that this round up of plus size outfit ideas gives folks ideas – and, well, honestly helps you feel seen.
You deserve clothing that you feel amazing in.
You deserve clothing that affirms your identity.
You deserve to play with fashion.
Ok, let’s get started:
WAIT ONE MORE QUICK NOTE! (Ok, 2 Notes)
A lot of these looks are styled with accessories that may not fit your gender identity or needs. Because of this, I encourage you to look at these images and focus on the clothing. <3
Secondly, this blog post was written with folks who grew up shopping (and being forced to shop) in the “women’s section.” These folks often find it difficult to find gender affirming clothing.
Ok, now we can for realsies get started:
#1 Plus Size Masculine Outfit: 3 Piece Suit from Eloquii
Ok, so not all “masculine” fashion needs to reference men. That said, this 3 piece suit from Eloquii is FIRE!
The vest could be worn with a tee for a casual outfit, and that blazer can be used in a bunch of different outfits!
Love it!

#2 Plus Size Androgynous Outfit: Light blue summer outfit from Madewell featuring t-shirts and shorts

#3 Plus Size Masculine Outfit: Button Down Shirts from Torrid
When I first found these more masculine button down shirts at Torrid, I thought to myself, “Someone on the design staff is definitely ~in the rainbow family~!”
These plus size button down shirts have a straight cut, meaning they don’t nip in at the waist. I love that they’re often found in bright prints and the fabric is usually lightweight.
Torrid has a few of these kind of shirts available on their website. If you find a shirt that’s sold out, then I recommend checking Poshmark!

#4 Plus Size Masculine Outfit: Puffer Coat from Universal Standard
There’s this weird idea that “androgynous plus size fashion” means that folks don’t like color.
Definitely not the case!!
I love puffer coats for folks who are looking to dress androgynously, because they eschew specific style lines. I also love that this coat takes up SPACE!
Update: The orange is currently out of stock, but Universal Standard has a rad electric blue color!
Snag this plus size androgynous coat HERE.
“The Everest Long Hooded Puffer is all the extra warmth with none of the fuss. Optimally designed, this puffer features a two-way zipper so you can open from both ways and a tucked away, hidden zipper for a removable hood. Made with water-resistant fabric (because weather) and complete with fleece-lined pockets. Get ready to bundle up and leave all your other coats hanging (literally).”

From the brand: “Each size can accommodate a range of body types so please consult our size chart below before ordering or email us with any sizing questions you may have! The desired fit for our jumpsuit is tight– you will have difficulty sitting and zipping it up on initial wears and it will break in with time. If you want it to be larger from the start, you’ll need to size up!“

#27 Plus Size Business Suit – Jessica London
Ok, so this suit is photographed in such a way that it may not look super appealing.
