Finding pieces that transition seamlessly from the cooler to the warmer months can be quite a challenge in itself. Then add in finding flattering pieces for a curvier body type – which has historically (and unfortunately) been left out of the fashion market – and you have a real task ahead of you. But thankfully, these pieces do exist, and if you’ve had trouble finding them, our lineup below will assist your shopping needs.

In fact, we’ve included everything from curve-hugging jeans to waist-slimming dresses and even great base layers.
