19 best women's plus size clothing brands that are stylish and size inclusive
Women's plus size clothing brands have been hard to track down historically. Good ones, we mean. We're not talking about the ranges that feel like an afterthought, or poorly-considered extensions of pre-existing lines. Rather, trend-led plus size clothing shops that allow their entire customer base to feel included. And relish in the fun of getting dressed.
Inclusivity and fashion aren't always two words which feel synonymous with one another (despite the fact they should), and those with bigger bodies have long been confined to cuts which hide their curves. Think: smock dresses, baggy tees and ill-fitting jeans. NOT good enough.
Though we still have a seriously long way to go, plus-size fashion shopping isn't such a chore these days – and the availability of plus-size pieces has increased hugely over the past decade. Brands like SKIMS, Good American and Savage x Fenty have body positivity at their heart – catering up to a 4XL, UK 32, and 6XL respectively – while high street labels like New Look and ASOS are rapidly expanding their size offering. Elsewhere, breakthrough designers are using the powers of Instagram and TikTok to showcase their small and independent offerings for communities of plus-size shoppers, and we love to see it.

Inclusivity is at the heart of everything at the brand, with sizes ranging from XXS right through to 4X.
