THE ULTIMATE Plus Size Brand List

You asked, I'm delivering...

Feb 03, 2025

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.

Affordable Everyday Staples

If you’re building a wardrobe on a budget, these brands are your best friends. Think comfy basics, easy-to-wear pieces, and simple essentials that won’t break the bank.

Primark: Perfect for those quick wardrobe refreshes. While availability varies in-store, they’ve more recently expanded their sizing to a 24.
Tu at Sainsbury’s: Affordable, stylish, and accessible. Their sizing range goes up to a 24, and you can pick up a cute top while doing your weekly shop -multitasking goals.
George at Asda: Another supermarket gem with a focus on comfort and affordability. Sizing available up to a 28.
Peacocks: For a shop that used to be favoured by my nan back in the day, Peacocks has well and truly gone up in the style stakes and carry up a to size 24
Matalan: For everyday casuals that are easy on the wallet and great for stocking up on work essentials. Available up to a size 28.
Amazon Essentials: A treasure trove of options at varying price points. Search smartly, and you’ll find everything from wardrobe staples to office wear. I love the essentials range for every-day pieces and am always impressed with their sizing which goes up to 7x in some styles.

On-Trend & Digital Faves

For those who want to keep up with the latest trends without splurging too much, these brands bring trend-led looks to your wardrobe.

ASOS Curve: The ultimate hub for on-trend pieces. From workwear to occasion dresses, ASOS Curve has it all and as an ex ASOS employee they’ll have my loyalty to the very end. Up to a size 30.
H&M+: Affordable fashion-forward pieces with good wardrobe basics to mix and match. Available up to a size 4XL.
New Look Curve: Known for their inclusive sizing and trend-driven pieces this OG retailer stocks up to a size 32.

Cider: A new contender in the online retail space, Cider has some incredible fashion led pieces up to a size 4xl.
Eloquii: Polished and playful, Eloquii offers sophisticated yet trendy options perfect for work or play. A little higher in price point but worth it quality wise. They’ve recently started stocking on a sister site so us European babes can access their pieces now too! Available up to a size 28.

Their plus-size pieces now feel classic but not outdated. They go up to a size 28, but the majority of their main collection goes up to a size 22/24.
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.
Joanie Clothing: Retro-inspired, size-inclusive, and committed to ethical practices. Their slogan tees and dresses are especially fab. Up to a size 26 available.

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.

Fat Face: A little pricier than some others here, but their quality makes it worth it. Perfect for comfy knits and relaxed fits. Now up to a size 24.
