It's True: Chic and Affordable Plus-Size Fall Clothing *Does* Exist—32 Finds
When you're plus-size, sometimes it feels like you can only have two out of three corners in the fashion triangle: fits well, looks good, and doesn't cost the price of a mortgage on a house. Thankfully for you, my entire life has bee on finding well-priced yet incredibly stylish finds for me and my friends—especially for the people in my life itching to look on-trend while being above standard U.S. sizes.
While it certainly isn't easy to find cute, affordable plus-size clothing, there's more than meets the eye. Every year, retailers are adding more and more inclusive ranges onto their sites, with our editors' tried-and-true retailers like J.Crew, Mango, and H&M all expanding well past a U.S. size 12.
Below, shop 32 affordable and chic plus-size clothing finds that took me hours to dig out of the internet's best stores. From cozy knits to deliciously trendy denim, these pieces are too good to say no to.
A big, boxy oversize jacket that actually fits well is such a game-changer.
If you're looking for a more casual, cooler alt to straight-leg trousers without going for denim, this pair should be high up on your wish list.
Is there anything more chic than a trench? I don't think so.
Mango's inclusive size range makes this ultra-trendy denim skirt incredibly tempting.
As the proud owner of these Madewell jeans, yep, I can confirm they're just as good IRL ad they look online.
This cropped leather blazer is incredibly Hailey Bieber-coded.
Madewell doesn't need to convince me anymore— anything they make, I'm sold.
Go for a daring leather mini this season.
I wore this in Scandinavia and I swear I never got so many compliments.
