Let's Go Shopping—Here's Exactly What We'd Buy From These 7 Plus-Size-Friendly Shops RN


Body inclusivity is not a new problem in the fashion industry, but it's a persistent one. The fact of the matter is that the average woman in the U.S. is a 16/18, but the majority of brands don't even carry sizes past an XL. In recent years, there's been an increase in brands claiming to cater to plus-size people while falling short of those promises in practice.
However, some gems have emerged over the years as go-to online retail destinations for solid plus-size clothing options. To ease this particular shopping-sized burden, we're highlighting some of the best plus-size clothing stores and brands worth paying attention to if you're looking for trend-forward pieces that help you live your most stylish life. Keep scrolling to uncover our findings.
