Finding plus size clothing on a budget can be a challenge. So when Aldi got in touch I was intrigued to see what they could come up with.
As you might expect, it’s not the most fashion forward range of clothing, but for a basics range, it is good quality and value for money.

| Cardigan £10.99 |
As you all know I’ve had a bit of a busy week this week, so I was unable to get any snaps of me wearing the range, I did however try on the above items and a pair of jeans from the range. It was about midnight when I got round to it so no make up and bad lighting means I definitely didn’t want to take any pics!
The cardigan is a simple shape and is great for popping on top of a pretty floral dress. It has an almost gilet feel about it so it could easily be worn in a boho kind of style, stick a chunky tan belt on with it and a floppy hat.
For reference, I was sent a 22 in all the pieces and found them all to be true to size. The tops are a good quality jersey and the fit is a fitted shape, so size up if you want a more baggy fit. These will be great for layering up and both are a much richer autumn tone in real life.

| Pack of 2 tops £10.99 |
I was also sent a pair of the jeans, they are somewhere between a bootcut and a straight leg, which I must admit is not my style at all, but if you roll them up they sit a bit more like a boyfriend jean.
If you are on a budget and are looking for some basics to see you through the winter it’s definitely worth checking out Aldi this week. The range is available in sizes 14-24 and are available in store from today, but be quick, because when they’re gone, they’re gone.

These tops look great as base layers and the cardigan is surprisingly stylish … definitely like the idea of pairing it with a big floppy hat and a pair of high-waisted, wide-legged trousers!
