If you’re a plus sized lady, you know how difficult it can be to find clothes that fit well and look amazing. So many popular brands don’t even carry plus sized clothing, and those that do don’t know how to make plus sized clothes that flatter the more well-endowed of us. Luckily, the fashion world is becoming more aware of the importance of size inclusivity — today’s article covers our favorite size inclusive and plus size fashion brands that you can buy from confidently! We recently dedicated an article to The Girlfriend Collective, one of our favorite activewear brands that cares about the planet and implements size inclusivity into their business model. Some of today’s brands are sustainable and ethical too (huge plus in our books) and carry the latest trends along with some classics that will never go out of style. Don’t forget to browse through our featured picks as well!
