Kekoo
Made in Turkey, Keeko is a plus size lagenlook brand that creates stylish pieces made for layering. Each collection they produce is created using natural fabrics wherever possible and therefore not only do the designs look great but they feel great on too. It’s this use of high quality fabrics and creative cuts that makes them special. Keeko customers say there’s something about the label’s clothes that feel like they’re unique and you’re not likely to find them on anyone else.
What is lagenlook?
Lagenlook is German for ‘layered look’ and is a unique way of dressing that involves layering different garments to create individual outfits. It’s incredibly popular in Europe where lots of lagenlook labels are based, but has infiltrated other countries over the last few years. Many plus size women like the style of dress due to the freedom it gives you to showcase your personal style. Being able to choose from a multitude of different items makes it easy (and enjoyable) to come up with ensembles that boast a creative flair. The use of natural fabrics is big among lagenlook brands. Often you will find styles made from linen or silk, that not only feel wonderfully soft to wear but are breathable and hypo allergenic too, so pack in extra added benefits. Last but not least, lagenlook styles are cut oversized and aren’t restrictive which adds to their appeal. Because who doesn’t want clothes that are comfy to wear and move when you do?
The collections
Kekoo’s collections offer a lot of variety, making pieces that work whatever your week demands of you. Whether for a business meeting or a catch up over dinner with friends, Kekoo’s beautiful designs offer something for every situation. With numerous styles, there is something to appeal to those women who like to be imaginative with what they wear. From airy, asymmetric hem tunics in summer, bright, patchwork print shirts in autumn or cosy, draped cardigans in winter, you can find unique looking items that will take you through from January to December. The designer’s garments sometimes come with matching accessories such as scarves , jewellery or little fabric bags that are made to complement the design.
