In an effort to start my swimsuit shopping, I have been looking at the options I have online first – at least that way I can narrow down what I like and don’t like. The stores with the best selections of nice swimwear available in larger sizes like 1x, 2x, 3x and 18, 20 and 22 are: Swimsuitsforall.com, Alwaysforme.com, ModCloth which has great retro styles, and Silhouettes.com.

Some of the styles that are popular this year include:

Nancy Lopez Plus Collection from Lori's Golf Shoppe

Buying athletic clothes can be a real challenge when you have curves! And buying cute golf clothes in sizes XL, 2xL, or even 3XL can be even harder – especially since I think so many of the golf wear companies have completely forgotten about the recreational golfer who wants to be comfortable and look good on the green. I had been keeping a folder of websites that carry plus size ladies golf apparel and then my computer crashed and I lost the list. I have been recreating it and before I lose it again, I am putting it here in one place for you and me to refer to any time we need something fun and new to wear on the course!

Golf Sophisticate carries a large selection of plus size ladies golf shirts, golf shorts, skorts and outwear in sizes 18W, 20W, 22W and XXL and XXXL. Brands include Bette & Court, EP Pro and more.

Lori’s Golf Shoppe carries women’s plus size golf clothes by Nancy Lopez, Nike, Bette & Court, and more. Of all the shops, Lori’s seems to be most suited for the recreational golfer with a large range of styles and sizes (up to 22W and 3XL).

LPGA Pro Shop – not everything in the LPGA Pro Shop is available in extended sizes, but a lot of the tops are available in XL and some are available in XXL like the Dri-Mesh LPGA Polo.

Pinks and Greens has a very stylish selection of women’s plus size golf gear from Sport Haley and EP Pro and they have sizes 18W, 20W and 22W as well as 1X, 2X, 3X and even a few items in 4X.

Junonia.com sells activewear for women sizes 14 and up. Many of their tops are made with wicking material and are perfect for the golf course. They also have a good selection of plus size shorts and skorts that will fit just right!

Zappos and 6pm- One of the things I love so much about Zappos is their free shipping both ways, but the other thing I like so much is that they carry Liz Golf in plus sizes. The selection varies by the week, but it is definitely worth checking out regularly.

Do you have any favorite stores to buy plus size womens golf gear to add to this list? I’d love to know – just leave me a comment!

Back to the Lady Hagen golf shirt – let’s just say, I love the new cut they have. The Lady Hagen Performance Golf Polo in XL fits the same as my Nike Dri-Fit shirts that are XXL, except the Lady Hagen shirt is a little longer which works well for me since I am long-waisted. The Lady Hagen shirt in XL has plenty of room in the chest, too.

You can buy Lady Hagen golf apparel at Golf Galaxy (you can get FREE Shipping On Orders $75 Or More At Golf Galaxy) or Dick’s Sporting Goods. Below are more color and style choices for Lady Hagen golf shirts – click on images for ordering info.

I love the Nike Sweetheart line of swimsuits and tankinis. They have a very figure flattering empire waist and ruching on the front. The tankini has sport shorts for the bottoms which make it perfect for active days at the beach, workouts and relaxing at the pool.

The suits are fully lined and come in black, navy, neptune blue and purple wine and are available in womens’ sizes 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20.  I have found the Nike Sweetheart line at at Zappos (love them because they offer free shipping on purchases and returns) and its sister company 6pm.com.
