As a plus-size woman, I personally know the struggle of finding great clothing in extended sizes. Fortunately, where once there were only two or three retailers catering to plus sizes, now there are dozens of dedicated brands making the best plus-size clothing we've seen in years. Retailers that were once off limits to plus size folks like Abercrombie & Fitch and Anthropologie have also extended their size ranges. "We've really made some pretty big leaps and bounds when it comes to plus-size fashion and having a more inclusive shopping experience," said Kat Eves, plus-size celebrity stylist.
Still, shopping for plus sizes is far from easy or enjoyable for many, and progress has been slow. "The fashion retail industry is absolutely improving but in my opinion, not fast enough," said Hina Low, a personal stylist and plus-size content creator who works under the name Heensie. "We have seen popular retailers expand to a size 20 perhaps, but rarely more than that and often, only online. This is not true inclusion."
Eves echoed this, noting that major retailers' plus-size styles lean more basic than trendy. "Plus-size people are still getting stuck in a place of not necessarily being able to express themselves through fashion on the same level as smaller bodied people without having to really do a lot of research," said Eves.
If you're in that position, I've done some of that research for you. In addition to my own 20+ years of experience shopping for plus sizes, I consulted Eves and Heensie to assemble this guide. While I've included fast fashion retailers for convenience, both Eves and Heensie said they're most excited about (and prefer shopping from) the small, independent plus size brands that have been cropping up to fill the gap in the market for trendy, stylish plus-size clothing. If you're looking for the best plus-size swimwear or best plus-size jeans, we've got you covered there, too!

Dia & Co
Size range: 0X to 5X; 10 to 32
You may know Dia & Co as a clothing subscription service, but the brand has expanded in recent years to be a full-service retailer of plus-size clothing. While it still offers its signature plus-size styling boxes, you can now shop à la carte for everything from swimsuits to jeans. In 2022, Dia & Co acquired 11 Honoré, an online marketplace of upscale brands offering plus sizes, so you can also browse designers like Diane Von Furstenberg and GANNI right from Dia's website. Shipping is free for à la carte orders over $75 and all styling boxes. Returns are free.

Eloquii
Size range: 14 to 32
Eloquii is a dedicated plus-size retailer catering to women size 14 and above, and Heensie said it is "very well loved and a go-to for many plus-size customers." There's a strong focus on work-appropriate attire, so you'll find great options for suiting and many day-to-night outfits, with the occasional statement piece ideal for a night out. Elqouii also has a bridal shop. You can get free shipping on orders over $125, though you'll pay shipping for returns unless you exchange for store credit.

Amazon
Shop all plus-size clothing at Amazon
Size range: 00 to 42; XXS to 8X
You can find thousands of plus-size clothing right on Amazon; the retailer even has a dedicated landing page, The Plus Shop, for extended sizes. Like the rest of Amazon, it can be tricky to browse and you'll find lots of third party sellers that could be hit or miss in quality. However, it's a great catch-all place to shop if you have a specific item in mind, but you're not finding it at other retailers.
If you're looking for a starting place, we recommend checking out The Drop, a size inclusive initiative where Amazon launches microcollections with influencers (including many plus-size influencers). As always, Prime members will get free shipping on eligible orders and returns are free and easy through Amazon's return center.

Reformation
Shop all plus size clothing at Reformation
Size range: 0 to 24
Reformation is one of the most popular upmarket clothing brands of the moment, and nearly 100 of its styles are available in extended sizing. The brand is known for its sustainable pieces, from statement dresses to capsule basics. Most of the pieces are available up to a size 24 and fit true to size, but several — such as the Layla Skirt ES — run large and could likely fit up to a size 28. The clothing is on the pricier side, but the brand is climate neutral certified and the pieces are built to last. Returns are free if you keep at least one item in your order. If you return all items, you'll incur an $8 return shipping fee.

Anthropologie
Shop all plus-size clothing at Anthropologie
Size range: XXS to 4X; 00 to 26W
If your style is dreamy and whimsical, Anthropologie is the place to shop. The retailer offers over 600 styles in plus sizes, with options for up to a size 26W (though you'll find the largest selection in sizes 16 to 22). Shipping is free on orders over $50, but you'll pay $5.95 return shipping unless you return in store. While its in-store plus-size offerings are limited, its clothing rental service Nuuly is a great way to try styles if you don't want to commit. You can rent six items at a time for $98 a month and you'll get a discount on any items you want to keep.

Madewell
Shop all plus-size styles from Madewell
Size Range: 00 to 28
We love Madewell for affordable women's basics, great-fitting jeans, and on-trend minimalist pieces. Madewell's youthful designs feature lots of neutrals, denim, earthy tones, and boxy fits. The brand carries most styles in both straight and plus sizes up to a size 28 or 6X and makes fantastic fitting plus-size jeans. Madewell's 90s Straight Jeans and Perfect Vintage Straight Jeans are among the best pairs I've ever owned, and they gave me the confidence to make the leap from skinny jeans to trendier straight-leg styles. Even if you're a casual Madewell customer, we recommend signing up for the brand's free rewards program, Madewell Insider, which will get you free returns on your orders (among other perks). Otherwise, expect to pay $7.95 for returns.

Cider
Shop all plus-size styles from Cider
Size Range: XXS to 4X
For super trendy, TikTok viral clothing, Cider is the place to go. There are hundreds of styles available in sizes up to 4X. Everything is incredibly affordable with prices ranging from $8 for a bodysuit to $52 for a faux leather jacket. We recommend checking the product size chart for each garment before you buy, as the sizing seems to vary a lot from item to item. For example, we've seen skirts on the site that are both labeled as 4X, but range anywhere from 55 inches to 61 inches in the hips. Fortunately, returns are free, but you'll need to start your return within 14 days of receiving your items.

BAACAL
Shop all plus-size clothing at BAACAL
Size range: 10 to 28
BAACAL is the plus-size line from Vince designer Cynthia Vincent, and reflects the same commitment to high-end, sustainable fashion using fabrics sourced from eco-forests in Japan. "She does such a beautiful job of creating really high-end pieces that look effortless," Eves said of the designer's kaftans, dresses, and jackets. BAACAL is a great place to shop for truly special pieces that you'll keep in your closet for decades, and its prices reflect that; you can expect to pay $200 to $400 for most items in the collection. The brand uses its own in-house sizing: its size 1 is meant to fit a US 10-12, while its size 5 should fit a US 26-28. Exchanges are free, as is shipping on orders over $50. Returns made for cash, however, will incur a $12 fee.

Universal Standard
Shop all clothing at Universal Standard
Size range: 00 to 40
Universal Standard was one of the first retailers to pioneer true size inclusivity, offering every style in size 00 to 40. The brand uses its own letter sizing system that equates a medium to a size 18 (the average size of a woman in the US), and its unique Fit Liberty program lets you exchange many items for a different size up to a year from your purchase date, no matter how used the clothing is.
"Universal Standard is one of the more popular brands that are really leading the way in the fashion industry in terms of inclusive sizing," Heensie said. "They are my go-to for plus-sized denim, in both my clients' wardrobes and in my personal." The brand is also one of Insider's favorite places for shoppers of all sizes to buy the best workwear, affordable women's basics, the best T-shirt, and the best women's jeans, and statement pieces like leather jackets. Standard shipping is free, and for returns or exchanges not covered by the Fit Liberty program, you'll have 30 days to send your items back and will have to pay a processing fee of between $4.50 and $7.50.

River Island
Shop all plus size clothing at River Island
Size range: 2 to 24 (6 to 28 in UK sizing)
UK-based brand River Island now ships to the US, and offers many of its styles in plus sizes, including faux leather jackets, work-appropriate trousers, and stylish knitwear. All of the pieces feel like elevated and contemporary takes on classics; a similar vibe to Reformation. River Island is definitely a place to shop if you're looking for capsule-worthy pieces that can be dressed up or down. Because the clothing is processed internationally, returns unfortunately incur a $15 fee.

SKIMS
Shop all plus-size clothing at SKIMS
Size range: XXS to 5X
From the best white T-shirts to the best lingerie, one brand that repeatedly shows up as a top pick in our buying guides is Kim Kardashian's SKIMS. Products from SKIMS have made our guides to the best underwear, the best leggings, the best bras, and more. Since its launch in 2019, SKIMS has offered shapewear, underwear, loungewear, and more in a size inclusive range — its clothing currently goes up to a size 5X in most styles and up to a 44H in bras. It's a great place to shop for underwear, plus-size lingerie, and basics like T-shirts and leggings. You have up to 30 days to return items, and you'll pay a $6 return shipping fee on your order, unless you choose to receive your return in store credit.

Wray
Size range: XXS to 6X
One of Heensie's favorite places to shop for "folks who want something a bit more bold" is Wray. The brand makes an assortment of upscale statement pieces in a variety of eye-catching colors and patterns, which Heensie says "give a perfect hint of edge to any wardrobe." We particularly love its patterned sets, which are chic enough to wear to work, but loose and comfortable for lounging at home. While the pieces are pricier, Wray has a strong focus on sustainability and working with ethically run factories for production. There's an option to shop in store at the brand's NYC location, otherwise you'll pay $9 in flat-rate shipping. You have 30 days to make a return and there is a $4.99 return processing fee.

Abercrombie & Fitch
Shop all plus size jeans at Abercrombie & Fitch
Size range: 000 to 24 (23 to 37 in Abercrombie's in-house sizing)
If you live life in a larger body, the words "Abercrombie & Fitch" probably conjure deep memories of teenage exclusion. Surprisingly, the retailer has become a beloved destination for plus size jeans in the past few years. Abercrombie now carries short, regular, and long length jeans up to a size 24 (what it calls "size 37"). In addition to offering extended sizes in many of its traditional styles, its Curve Love line also provides an extra two inches of room in the hips, so there are options for a great fit regardless of whether you carry your weight in your stomach or hips. While we'd love to see the same inclusivity applied to Abercrombie's other clothing (which currently only seems to run up to an XXL), we recommend giving this unlikely retailer a try for great fitting plus size jeans.

Old Navy
Size range: 0 to 30; XS to 4X
For many plus-size customers, Old Navy is in the doghouse at the moment, as the retailer backed out of its much hyped "BODEQUALITY" campaign that promised to stock up to size 30 in stores. Still, Old Navy offers hundreds of inexpensive plus-size styles online, with the option to return in store or through the mail for free. The retailer often has big sales and you'll find many pieces available for under $20, making this a great place to shop for affordable clothes that are still on trend.

Shein
Shop all plus-size styles from Shein
Size Range: 0 (XXS) to 34 (9X)
Shein is one of Gen Z's favorite retailers, and fortunately, it's incredibly size inclusive. Like Cider, Shein has hundreds of plus-size styles at incredibly affordable prices. You'll find everything from lingerie, to swimwear, to wedding dresses, along with thousands of tops, dresses, and pants in nearly every style you can think of. With the launch of its Fit+ line, the retailer now carries up to a size US 34 (what it classifies as a 9X). We recommend always checking the size chart before ordering, as exact measurements vary from product to product. You have 35 days to make returns, and return shipping is free.

Spanx
Shop all plus-size clothing at Spanx
Size range: XS to 3X
Spanx may be known for its shapewear, but the retailer has expanded in the past few years to include workwear and loungewear in up to a size 3X. Spanx is one of our favorite places to shop for stylish work pants, comfortable bras, day-to-night leggings, and tights that don't rip. Almost all the pieces are in neutral colors to easily mix and match with your existing wardrobe. Shipping and 90-day returns are totally free, so it's definitely worth giving Spanx a try if you're new to this retailer.

ASOS
Shop all plus-size clothing at ASOS
Size range: 0 to 32
Any plus-size millennial can probably recount the relief they felt the first time they discovered ASOS. The retailer was one of the first to make a substantial collection of truly on-trend, cool clothing in plus sizes. "ASOS Curve can be difficult size-wise, because they carry an array of brands," said Heensie. "However, they are plentiful in their options and many plus-sized folks have been deferring to them for years for trendy pieces." At ASOS, you'll find hundreds of inexpensive styles for any occasion you can think of; it even offers plus-size jewelry. Most shoppers report that the clothing runs large, so you may want to size down for the best fit. The retailer offers free shipping over $50, and returns are quick, easy, and free.

Good American
Shop all clothing at Good American
Size range: 00 to 32
Co-founded by Khloe Kardashian, Good American offers a size-inclusive range of jeans and other apparel in a plethora of styles. We've tested Good American jeans on all different shapes and sizes, and the retailer remains one of our picks for the best places to buy women's jeans. While jeans are Good American's forte, don't sleep on its other offerings — we recently named it one of the best places to shop for women's suits. You'll also find plenty of basics like white tees, bodysuits, and loungewear. Shipping is free on orders over $125, but you'll pay a $2.99 to $7.99 restocking fee if you need to make a return for cash (exchanges and returns for store credit are free).

H&M
Shop all plus-size styles from H&M
Size Range: 0 (XXS) to 30 (4X)
H&M is another great spot to check out for cheap plus-size clothes. The retailer only started offering expanded sizing in the last few years, but has quickly ramped up its collection; you can now find more than 600 styles available in plus sizes. Heensie also noted that the brand recently took on plus-size model Tess Holliday as a consultant, which shows promise for the future of the brand. In addition to a wide variety of basics (think your classic black tees and white button ups), you'll also find a nice array of statement pieces like band tees and neon knit layers. We recommend joining H&M's loyalty program, which will get you free online returns, otherwise you'll have to pay $5.99 in return shipping or return your items in store.

Target
Shop all plus-size clothing at Target
Size range: XS to 4X; 00 to 30
While Target offers a limited selection of plus sizes in stores, you'll find thousands of styles on the retailer's website. Target's website isn't set up well for browsing, so we recommend perusing the straight-size clothing in store and then finding your size on Target's app or website. We particularly love the retailer's selection of bathing suits and inexpensive jeans. Target has one of the best return policies in the biz; you have 90 days to make a return on regular merchandise and up to a year to return items from Target's own lines (Universal Thread, A New Day, etc.).

Insyze
Size range: 10 to 40
Insyze is a plus-size online marketplace that Eves said "makes it easy for plus-size shoppers to shop with ethical and sustainable brands." The retailer provides a comprehensive sustainability profile on each brand it sells and has storefronts specifically for sustainable and designer clothing. You can shop several of the other brands in this guide, like Sante Grace and Baacal right from Insyze. It's a great place to discover new plus-size brands, especially since shipping is free on orders over $100 and returns are completely free within 14 days (you can choose between a full cash return or a 110% store credit).

Athleta
Shop all plus-size clothing at Athleta
Size range: XXS to 3X
From athleisure to technical apparel, Athleta is the place to look if you're in the market for plus-size athletic wear. Many pieces we love, including the Brooklyn Ankle Pants are available in up to a size 3X and are nice enough to wear out and about, or even to work. We still think Athleta has a ways to go until true size inclusivity, but the brand is a Certified B Corps, meaning it has met the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. Returns are free and you have 60 days from the ship date to return in store or through the mail.

Mango
Size range: XXS to 4X; 0 to 22
If you're looking to put together a capsule wardrobe, Mango makes elevated staples in neutral tones for effortless mixing and matching. You'll find timeless pieces with a French aesthetic that are equally at home at the office or out to brunch. While the retailer offers plenty of styles in up to a 4X, keep in mind that the pieces sold in numerical sizes (such as jeans and some dresses) only go up to a size 22. Returns within 30 days are free, so it's worth trying out a few different sizes to see what fits best.

Big Bud Press
Shop all clothing at Big Bud Press
Size range: XXS to 6XL
If your aesthetic leans more "should have been born in the '70s," Big Bud Press is worth a look. You'll find unisex clothing up to a size 6X with strong vintage hippie vibes — think bell bottoms and psychedelic patterns in silhouettes range from androgynous to slightly feminine. "I live in their jumpsuits when I'm working as a stylist," said Eves, who also noted that the LA-based retailer revamped its sizing based on feedback from plus-size customers. Return policies are on the strict side: Returns and exchanges must be postmarked within 14 days of delivery, and the customer is responsible for return shipping.

Free Label
Shop all clothing at Free Label
Size range: XS to 5X
If you still scoff at the idea of wearing "hard pants" post-pandemic, Free Label is a great place to shop for pieces that are stylish yet comfortable. "They make the most glorious loungewear and bras," said Heensie. The brand focuses on natural fibers like linen and cotton, along with some pieces made using deadstock fabrics; all sustainable options. Heensie said the brand is very community-oriented and regularly solicits feedback on fit. You'll find models of all sizes on the site, so you can get an accurate idea of what the clothing looks like on various body types. Shipping is free on orders over $100 and the brand offers returns within 7 days of receiving the items.

Sotela
Size range: practically any
One of Heensie's favorite retailers is Sotela. "I love their commitment to a perfect fit at any size," said Heensie of Sotela's made-to-order garments and custom sizing. Everything is made in the brand's LA studio from sustainable, eco-friendly fabrics. The brand offers dresses, pants, jumpsuits, and tops in a range of cotton and linen fabrics dyed in a range of earthy colors. You can choose from a pattern-cut size (up to a 67 inch hip width), or opt for a custom size for the most tailored fit. All pattern-cut items are eligible for exchange for store credit within 14 days of delivery. Custom fit items are final sale.

Wildfang
Size range: 0 to 26
Many plus-size designs trend hyper-feminine, but if your style leans more masculine to gender-neutral, Wildfang is a great place to shop. The brand recently expanded its size offerings to fit up to what would typically be a 26 in traditional women's sizing. You'll find button-ups, jumpsuits, and trousers that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. "Their suiting options, especially for gender-inclusive style is something that I'm really excited about," Eves said. Shipping is free over $50 and returns are free within 35 days of purchase.

Selkie
Shop all plus-size dresses at Selkie
Size Range: XXS to 6X
For more princess-style dresses, take a peek at Selkie. Among hundreds of designs available in up to a size 6X. You'll find flouncy silhouettes inspired by Mary Antoinette, Claude Monet, and Jane Eyre. With dresses starting at around $200 and ranging up to $1,000, these are certainly investment pieces, but it's a great place to browse for prom, bridal, and special occasion wear. While dresses are Selkie's forte, you'll also find a handful of loungewear, skirts, and puffer jackets. Shipping is free for orders over $300, otherwise you'll pay $20. You have 15 days from receiving your item to initiate a return or exchange, and you'll have to pay for return shipping.

Loud Bodies
Shop all clothing at Loud Bodies
Size range: 0 to 42
Eves and Heensie both recommended Loud Bodies, which specializes in loud, bright, colorful clothing, with options for up to size 42 (10X). You'll find everything from workwear basics to statement pinafores in unique prints and flashy colors, all with a focus on sustainability. "I love how utterly whimsical this brand is," Heensie says. "Their dresses are like something out of a storybook, and are perfect for anyone who is looking for a bit of cottagecore or just plain magic in their wardrobe." The retailer is based in Romania and each item is made to order, so expect a wait time of 2-4 weeks on orders. You'll also be on the hook for return shipping if your order is under $200.

Tunnel Vision
Shop all clothing at Tunnel Vision
Size range: XXS to 7X
"This is another great brand that prioritizes size inclusivity, is very community-oriented and dials up the edginess even further," Heensie said of Tunnel Vision, who noted the brand also offers size-inclusive vintage and buy-back stock. The Los Angeles-based retailer cheekily calls its designs "clothes for deadbeat, lowlife weirdos," and its offerings reflect that punk-rock irreverence, with lots 90s-core designs that look like an angsty teen made a collage out of 1997 Delia's and Hot Topic catalogs. "My punk and goth clients love pieces from here," Heensie said. Tunnel Vision uses carbon-neutral shipping and all its new clothing is made in certified sweatshop-free environments. The brand doesn't currently offer returns, but does allow exchanges for store credit.

Sante Grace
Shop all clothing at Sante Grace
Size range: 1X to 4X
"Sante Grace out of LA is doing some really interesting, ethically made fun fashion for people of lots of different style types," said Eves. "So you've got everything from a really cool gold sparkle jogger to a totally work appropriate suit vest." Tracy Christian, the designer behind Sante Grace, was inspired by fashion houses like Balmain and YSL; luxury brands she couldn't fit into as a plus-size person. She channels similar edginess and modernity into her own designs, which include caftans, rompers, dresses, and suiting. Shipping is free on purchases over $125, and you have 7 days to return items for either an exchange or store credit. You'll pay return shipping and a $5 restocking fee per item.

Nooworks
Size range: XXS to 5X
If you love bold statement pieces and lots of color, Nooworks is the place to shop. The brand is a favorite of Eves, who particularly loves its jumpsuits. "They have some really interesting fun designs that are created by independent artists," Eves said of the Nooworks' bold patterns. The brand prioritizes sustainable fabrics and prints its patterns in Los Angeles using a rotary printing technique that is more environmentally friendly than dyeing. It also offers a resale platform where customers can buy and sell used Nooworks' pieces. You have seven days from the receipt of your items to initiate a return or exchange. Returns for cash incur a $10 restocking fee.

Tamara Malas
Shop all clothing from Tamara Malas
Size range: 2 to 36
If maximalism is your vibe, you'll love the plus-size options from Tamara Malas. You'll find items that are bright and loud in both color and silhouette — think bi-color velvet pants and psychedelic print biker shorts. Shipping within the US is $7, and like other small retailers the return window is quite short — you have 14 days from receiving your item to initiate a return and you're on the hook for the cost of return shipping.

Pine Cone Row
Shop all clothes from Pine Cone Row
Size range: 0 to 30
While many retailers that make plus sizes base their measurements and fit on straight size models, Pine Cone Row designs its garments twice — on both a size 8/M and size 20/2X. The result is a tailored fit that feels custom to plus-size bodies. Pine Cone Row launched its 001 collection in September 2022, so it's relatively new on the scene, but its first five drops have been filled with a mix of staple and statement pieces. In addition to its thoughtful sizing approach, this Black woman-owned business uses fabric sourced from its home base of Los Angeles, with a priority of using as much US milled or overstock fabric as possible. The brand currently doesn't offer returns or exchanges.

JessaKae
Size Range: XXS to 6X
JessaKae makes dreamy, fairytale-like dresses, with most designs available up to a size 6X. The brand is prominent on TikTok and Instagram, where you can find videos of the styles modeled in every size. Just keep in mind that the return policy is quite restrictive: the brand only offers return credit in the form of a gift card and will deduct the cost of return shipping. Exchanges are free, however.

FAQs
What is considered plus size?
In the US, plus size is generally considered to be size 18 or above, though size 12, 14, and 16 shoppers may also identify as plus size because clothing options become more limited above a US 10. The average woman in the US is variously reported to be between size 14 to 18, which means more women wear plus sizes than straight sizes in the US.
Where can I buy plus-size vintage?
The options for plus-size vintage aren't nearly as numerous as they are for straight sizes, but several dedicated plus-size vintage shops have popped up over the last couple years. Some of Eves' favorite places to shop for plus-size vintage and consignment are Luvsick, Proud Mary, The Plus Bus, and Plus BKLYN. A few of the retailers in our guide, including Tunnel Vision and Nooworks, also offer vintage or buyback stock on their websites.
