Finding plus-size fashion that fits well, makes us feel amazing AND is on-trend shouldn’t feel like a treasure hunt (am I right or am I right). Not too long ago I asked you to share your fave plus size brands and when my DMs were flooded with answers I had a brain wave to put them all in one place for you lovely lot.
So without further ado, I’ve put together this ultimate guide—a go-to list of plus-size brands for every occasion, budget, and style preference. Whether you’re looking for affordable staples, sustainable options, or that show-stopping dress for a big event, this list has you covered.
For now, this is just focused on clothing BUT I know how popular my wide & curve boot article was so if y’all are after something shoe specific maybe I need to schedule that article onto my ‘to do’ list.
Loves, don’t forget to leave me a comment if you think there’s any brands I might be missing (or any tea on sizing expansions) - I’m committed to making this list as extensive as poss.
And before we dive in, if you found this valuable please consider hitting the little ‘restack’ button so more babes, like you can discover it (and join our lush community).

River Island: RI offer fashion-forward pieces that don’t feel like an afterthought. Up to a size 22 (although pretty sure they used to go to a 28).
Skims: Kim K’s Skims has been a game changer for plus-size shapewear and loungewear. Unlike a lot of brands that stop at an 18 (which, let’s be real, often isn’t actually that inclusive), Skims runs up to a 4X-5X in most pieces.
Sustainable & Ethical
If you’re looking to shop more consciously, these brands offer eco-friendly options without compromising on style.
Lucy & Yak: Known for their funky prints and comfy, oversized fits. A favourite for those who love a colourful, relaxed vibe. I recently purchased my first jumpsuit and have been so impressed with the quality and fit (something I always struggle with being so tall and jumpsuits). Available up to a size 32.

Premium & Occasion-wear
When you’re looking to spend a little money on quality or find that one perfect outfit for a big event, these brands deliver.
Anthropologie: Timeless and premium, their extended sizing is a dream for boho-chic lovers. Every time I’ve purchased from them I’m always impressed by the fit and quality. Up to a size 30.
Abercrombie & Fitch: Technically not a brand that promote a ‘plus size’ category, however I’d be doing you a dis service if I didn’t share their Curve love jeans collection which goes up to a size 37w (as a size 22 the 35w fits me well). Hand on heart can say their jeans are some of the best fitting jeans I’ve ever worn and worth investing in. I also find that although their regular collection only runs up to an XXL, this does tend to be quite generous in some styles.
Never Fully Dressed: Never Fully Dressed is the brand for you if you love bold prints, vibrant colors, and pieces that make a statement. Their wrap dresses are particularly famous and they’ve been expanding their plus-size offering in recent years. Available up to a size 28.
Rixo: The most beautiful dresses and high quality fabrics, I’ve been lucky enough to be gifted one of their extended sizing pieces and I cannot wait for the day I’m able to purchase another for myself. Available up to a size 26.
Free People: Think flowy, artistic vibes with a touch of luxury. Another brand which don’t necessarily advertise a ‘plus size’ collection, but their pieces can be very generous in sizing due to the style of clothing. Available up to an XXL.
Hope & Ivy: Gorgeous occasion dresses perfect for weddings or any event where you need to turn heads. Up to a size 24
Karen Millen: Chic tailoring, elegant dresses, and elevated style—investment pieces that last (something I can definitely vouch for). Available up to a size 24.
Selkie: The fairytale brand of my dreams. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a literal princess, this is your go-to and without a shadow of a doubt one of go-to’s for special occasion wear. The fit is always *chefs kisses*! Available up to a size 6XL.
Kai Collective: Kai Collective is a Black-owned brand that blends high fashion with wearability. Their signature Gaia print mesh dresses went viral for a reason. Their pieces go up to a UK 26.

Zelie for She: Artistic and bold, this independent brand makes every piece feel like a statement. Available up to a size 3XL.
