With springtime slowly approaching, I'm itching for a new wardrobe. After turning over my closet and donating older trends and styles that didn't fit my lifestyle, I'm on the hunt for low-cost, high-joy pieces that speak to a fun, youthful challenge— somewhat of a challenge when you navigate the world as plus size.
While some retailers still have a long ways to go, more and more trend-forward labels and stores are expanding their size ranges and offering styles that go beyond the normal pair of structured jeans and white T-shirts. As a shopping editor, there's nothing more I love than buying something I find while researching a trend story, and thanks to places like Mango, H&M, and Nordstrom, it's easier than ever.
With size ranges expanding up to a 4XL or US 26 in most options available online from my go-to shops, it's more important than ever to keep stylish women of all sizes at the top of our minds. If that sounds like you— I've got you covered. Below, browse my personal shopping paradise of size-inclusive picks from Mango, Nordstrom, and H&M.
