Best plus size clothing brands and websites UK: cool fashion for curvy women
The joy of online shopping is that you can find pretty much anything at the click of a button – if you know where to look.
While many brick-and-mortar high street stores have cottoned onto the value of the plus size pound, it can still be hard to find full collections for clothing larger than a size 16 on the shop floor.
Some brands have added perfunctory plus sections to collections designed for slimmer shoppers, but thanks to the #BodyPositive movement and the emergence of more plus size models - think Jade Sezer, Paloma Elsesser, Precious Lee, and Lizzo to name but a few - means that retailers are waking up to the fact that plus size women want to look fashionable too.
Make no mistake: we’re entering a long-awaited golden age for plus-size fashion.
Banish all thoughts of boring tent-like smock dresses, ageing florals and ill-fitting trousers. Plus size fashion is bigger and better than ever, and the internet is the best place to find your next sartorial haul.
