23 best plus-size clothing brands that are stylish and size-inclusive
Looking for the best plus-size clothing brands? Time's are tough for the curvy girl in 2026 and it may feel like there isn't much for us. The industry is shrinking, brands are turning their backs on the extended size range they once highlighted and not to mention there are only a handful of IRL places we can physically shop at, but we mustn't give up hope.
Yes there are also many other problematic issues when it comes to plus size clothing (namely, the amount of plus-size models on the fashion week runways every. single. season) but there are still some incredible brands holding the torch and independent designers fighting for inclusion who are making some plus size pieces my younger self would have dreamed of.
Featured in this article
I spoke with Brazilian designer Karoline Vitto who has been one of the powerhouses fighting for size inclusion during London and Milan Fashion Weeks, highlighting all types of bodies on the runway when others wouldn't. I asked why creating extended sizes was important to her.
“I’ve always been motivated by construction and pattern cutting, and working with plus-size was a way to explore fashion in a way that felt true to my nature as a designer,” she told me. “It is more exciting for me to create within a range of shapes and sizes, rather than be restricted by 3 of the smaller sizes.”
“The more I grow as a woman and as a designer, it also means paying homage to the women in my life, who for the most part, are not sample size,” Karoline added.
So we do have people fighting in our corner, it would just be great if the higher end fashion houses also followed suit. We all know that it’s an unwritten rule if you see a fellow plus-size person in an amazing outfit; you tell them. You make a proper fuss and almost certainly ask where their look is from, too, because finding genuinely good clothes for plus-sized bodies is no mean feat, we wish the rest of the industry gave the same energy we give each other.
How I tested the best plus size brands
As the plus size industry as a whole is worth billions of pounds, it's also relatively small compared to core sizes, so I am lucky in a sense that all of the below brands I have worked with professionally and also bought items from them as a consumer.
Looking into all factors such as size chart, materials and making sure the online customer reviews on the site match up with my personal opinion of the designer or brand, not to mention attending as many IRL press events for upcoming new in collections that showcase curve.
Many of the labels featured are independent or emerging, too, proving that it's not just household names that are paving the way. To read more about how we choose and how we test, click here.
Why you can trust me
As a plus size model who has been navigating this industry over the last decade, I'm giving you my personal go-to list of the best plus size clothing brands that love us curvy women just as much as we love them.
Read ahead for the designers that are giving me exactly what I want: fun, current, and exciting fashion trends that often us plus size humans are completely left out from. They're not only providing us all with a place at the table, but they are also throwing in a reclining chair for us to feel fully comfortable too.
Below: 23 plus-size fashion brands that made me fall back in love with clothes.
1. ARRANGE
Size range: from UK 4 - 30.
ARRANGE is currently the talk of the plus-size community, an exclusive brand curated by senior ASOS designer Jess Spernaes, this collection is giving luxury and we are so here for it. The majority of the line is available in both core and plus, meaning the whole friendship group is able to access it. From premium basics to out of this world sequin red carpet dresses and wedding guest dresses, they really have thought of all factors. I'm obsessed.
2. Rixo
Size range: from UK 6 - 26.
If you are looking for a brand that is perfect for those spring weekend getaways it is Rixo. Beautiful floral maxis, sweetheart necklaces, pussy bows and cottagecore prints. Rixo recently extended their line to go up to a UK 26, showing more and more brands can increase their sizing; the demand is there. They also have a beautiful store on King's Road in London, which is a dreamland experience itself, and the fact you can shop plus sizes in IRL wins for me not to mention they have previously collaborated with fashion writer Billie Bhatia (dreamy).
3. Simply Be
Size range: up to a UK 32.
Simply Be is one of the UK's leading plus-size clothing brands, with sizes ranging up to a UK32. One of the things I also love about Simply Be is their range of wide-fit and wide-calf shoes and boots. We all know trying to find that perfect knee-high boot for the colder seasons can be tricky when a lot of these boots don't have any stretch.
They also stock some other brands on-site, such as Adidas, Calvin Klein and Mango.
4. ASOS Curve
Size range: from a UK 18 - 30.
In my opinion, ASOS is one of the OG's when it comes to plus-size fashion. Back in 2014, ASOS was the top destination for curve pieces and was at the top of their game for bringing fun, playful, stylish and trendy pieces to our community. Whether you need simple classics like bodysuits, bras loungewear, sweaters or swimsuits, or occasion wear like fashion-forward sequin luxe party items or a great pair of wide-leg jeans, they were the site for this. With over 1,000 pieces still going strong for this brand, they are still an absolute staple for us. One little tip with ASOS – ASOS Tall also goes up to a size 20.

5. Monsoon
Size range: from a UK 6 - 24.
How can you not be obsessed with this brand? The colours, the prints, the embellishments, they really do have the razzle dazzle. With sizing up to a size 24 and a lot of the styles being quite oversized, Monsoon are definitely also one to look at for a statement party wardrobe piece that can be brought out for any event.
Size range: from a UK 6 - 28.
A fun, trend-based, visually-empowering brand with delicious colours and dopamine-hitting fabrics and patterns – I am a big fan. NFD launched its extended size ranges in 2020 up to a size 24, and now they stock up to a size 28 in all of their lines, with a few pieces up to a size 30. From designing and customising pieces in her parent's attic, founder Lucy Allen now owns an international brand especially adored in London and New York. I have loved seeing this brand blossom and take the curve community with them. They also have a pre-loved section on their site where they are encouraging you to sign up and give you old NFD pieces a new journey into someone else's wardrobe.
Size range: up to a UK 24 or XXXL.
British fashion brand Karen Millen is giving chic. Timeless pieces, luxe fabrics and sharp shapes are all available up to a size UK 24 or XXXL.

Size range: from a UK 8 - 28.
Brazilian-born and London-based designer Karoline Vitto is a graduate from Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art. She is one of the most exciting and groundbreaking designers who has been pushing the narrative of the beauty of the female form. Her designs sculpt and amplify the beauty of the curvy silhouette. You can own a piece of Karoline Vitto from £77 from her online store.
9. Reformation
Size range: up to a UK 28.
Reformation is on the higher price point, known for these silky maxi evening dresses which are perfect for that important date night you have coming up, but also some really gorgeous pastel seasonal pieces. I would like to see the plus size option on the main feed though, us curvy girls shouldn't have to go around the houses to find pieces on a homepage.
10. ALIGNE
Size range: up to UK 22.
British Womenswear brand ALIGNE are a slow fashion brand with elite design cuts and stunning fabrics. They currently go up to a size UK 22, but their sizing is very generous. Most known for their longline silhouette sculpting waistcoats, they are a luxe wardrobe staple. They are also a brand with strong ethics in mind and have partnered with Smartworks Charity, who provide dressing for unemployed women for successful job interviews. They were also one of the first brands to partner with Women's Football stars.
11. George
Size range: from UK 6 - 26
Being plus-size in an industry that has no real standard size chart is hard, but I will say it's always the supermarket brands who really do the sizing right and honestly that's all we really ask for. Good quality materials, sizing that is reliable and an arrange of affordable pieces for everyone. George goes that little further though, they have all the above, but add that sprinkle of current trend led pieces that do not break the bank balance. It's also great you can try these on IRL, which is often a myth for the plus size community.
12. COLLUSION
Size range: from a UK 4 - 46
The unisex Gen-Z inspired collection from within ASOS that always sells out in the core styles. For me, an elder millennial, these are the core pieces I would have dreamed of as a teen, 90's cuts, think maxi skirts and dresses, long sleeve camo tops, striped fluffy grunge jumpers and oversize cargo jeans. I love that we have a brand who fits to many audiences, especially my generation who now have the adult money to buy their past fits.
Size range: up to a 3XL.
Only launching their plus ranges in the UK since 2020, Anthropologie Plus is your go-to high-quality retailer for high-end plus-size options. Think: a luxe evening shirt, a stand out party dress or some beautiful seasonal pieces. Spring vibes have started to enter the chat below and sunshine outfits are pending. Lots of the pieces are also available in core and plus – a stylists dream.
Size range: from a UK 6 - 28.
A British staple, a brand we all know and love. Not only do I visit M&S for that glorious food hall and very good value for money flowers, their clothes are one of the pieces that you have in your wardrobe for a long time. I trust this store, they feel like family and their quality has always been really great, not to mention they were one of the few high street shops that have always stocked extended sizing.
15. Marina Rinaldi
Size range: from a UK 8 - 28.
The pioneers of luxury plus-size fashion come from this beautiful Italian brand. Not only do they have stunning wardrobe work staples such as shirts, tailored trousers, luxe knitwear and activewear, but their red-carpet collections are out of this world. With past collaborations with designers such as Zuhair Murad and Dima Ayad they have also had capsule collections with the likes of Sara Battaglia. They are also one of the only plus size brands in Mayfair where you can have an IRL shopping experience in the luxury space of the high street. Luxury is something we don't often get to indulge in as plus-size people, so if you can go give their beautiful townhouse in London a visit - do.
16. Sinead O'Dwyer
Size range: from a UK 4 - 26.
Dublin-born fashion designer Sinead O'Dwyer has broken boundaries in the fashion industry with her fresh, honest, considered and exciting collections since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2018. Aside from her brilliant LFW shows Sinead has also spoke honestly about the issues within the education system in size inclusivity – and how she is going against the grain and making her sample sizes in a variety of sizing. O'Dwyer was also named winner of the Zalando Visionary Award last year and we all are excited to see what is next. A true trailblazer ( and truly obsessed with her denim and hardware pieces and netted leggings ).
17. Lucy and Yak
Size range: up to a UK 32.
I'm sure there's not one person reading this that hasn't spotted a Lucy and Yak pair of dungarees in the wild and definitely complimented the person wearing them. Since 2017 they have been the go to brand for vibrant playful and fun prints that live on a really comfy pair of dungarees. I most love that they stock from sizes UK 6 - 32 and have so many other pieces to their collection including plus size dresses, wide leg trousers, jumpsuits, hoodies , mom jeans and accessories. Their materials are also organic and recycled.
18. Next
Size range: from a UK 4 - 32
Did you know there is currently over 22,000 curve items on the Next website? Nearly 400 plus size pieces from the likes of Adidas alone, then add in brands such as Elomi, Curvy Kate, Evans, Good American, Ralph Lauren and Spanx ( to only name a few ). That doesn't include Next's own current collection, which I have been obsessed over lately. Fresh fun and trending prints ( such as the Matcha shirt below ) and gorgeous embellished knits, bold summer dresses, wide leg jeans, swimwear and gorgeous accessories. Feels really great as a plus size girl to have this many options.
19. Selkie
Size range: from a size XXS - 6XL.
Born by former Wildfox Co-Founder, Kimberley Gordon Selkie is the ultimate dream girl brand. The type of beautiful ruched gowns you would want to wear to an Marie Antoinette afternoon tea. Everything from ruffled corset mini dresses, to lace corsets and flowing maxi dresses covered in florals. I love that Kimberley has created something with everyone in mind here, her collection ranges from XXS - 6XL and if you have seen one of her iconic NYFW shows, you will see she really makes sure all bodies are included.
20. Kai Collective
Size range: from XS - 3XL.
Founded by the incredible Fisayo Longe, you would have seen this brand serving on your explore pages many time, not only are they famous for their viral Gaia Mesh Dress, but the dopamine dressing pieces that she continues to create for us all, we are grateful. Can we talk about these tailored suits with matching ties, it the CEO girlie must have.
21. Ester Manas
Size range: from an XS - 3XL.
Possibly the most inclusive brand to have graced Paris Fashion Week Ester Manas & Balthazar Delepierre founded this label in 2019. Expect sheer ruffles, a nod to the 90s, co-ords, animal prints and deep side splits and did I mention they are sustainably made? We need them back on our catwalks too, we miss you.
22. Manners London
Size range: from a UK XS - XXXXL
A size inclusive independent brand run by Sally, a solo mum wanting to make change in this fashion industry with soft, breathable and stretchy cotton essentials and hand made printed fabrics to mould to any curve body, no matter the size. These pieces make you stand tall, feel confident and hold you in ways that feel like a hug, not constraint. Brilliant independent designer.
23. New Look
Size range: from a UK 18 - 28
With over 400+ plus size items currently on site, New Look Curve are ones to keep watch on. Everything from affordable staples such as plus size jeans, tees and seasonal pieces, lingerie to must have polkadot on-trend pieces and lace summer dresses all at a very affordable price tag. Lot's of wide fit pieces too. Don't sleep on New Look.
Of course, we always have to push for more when it comes to plus size fashion. But when it comes to size inclusivity – especially at Fashion Month – London is currently in the lead with the most curve models and designs on the catwalk. Here's hoping that this will inspire and trickle down the to our high streets – and push the narrative that we all deserve to feel included and we all deserve to have fun with fashion. Because quite frankly, life is too short to not celebrate you just as you are.
