Clothing stores used to really not care about being inclusive to plus-size women, but times have changed. It used to be so hard to find cute and trendy pieces as a plus-size woman. You would have to go to the back of the store in a random corner and even then they would only have one or two pieces. Those pieces usually were stretchy material in neutral colors. There were no bright colors or any fun prints…Just random, boring pieces.
Now with plus-size women taking the fashion world by storm and appearing in high fashion clothing brands, like Versace, much has changed with the type of plus-size clothing sold. Now there are various brands that offer trendy and chic plus-size pieces. Whether you are looking for high-end fashion pieces or some affordable options these clothing stores offer cute and trendy pieces for plus-size women.

LOUD BODIES
Loud bodies offers high-end, sustainable fashion. They recognize that shopping and fashion in itself should be fun and not a humiliating process that you want to avoid all together. Plus-size women used to not be able to express themselves through fashion because clothing brands were lacking. With brands like Loud Bodies, you can do just that. Have the loudest fashion possible, unapologetically.
CHRISTIAN SIRIANO
We first met this amazing designer back on Project Runway. From there you could already see that he was destined for greatness. Now, Christian Siriano is a big name designer in the high-end fashion sector. His plus-size clothing line is to die for and will make you feel like you are destined to walk the red carpet.

CEO Lauren has always been an advocate for size-inclusion in the fashion world. She has had first-hand experience of being a plus-size women in a Size 0-2 fashion world which inspired her clothing brand, Henning. Her pieces will make you feel like you walked right off the runway. These pieces are great for a simple date night or for a day in the office.
TORRID
Torrid offers casual wear catered to women who are from sizes M-6x. This is a truly inclusive brand with trendy pieces for any time of year. The clothes are of good material and very comfy.
FOREVER 21
Forever 21 is one of my go-to spots for plus-size clothing. Their clothes are always cute and trendy and they fit my body well. I do recommend you go to the store to try on their clothes instead of ordering online, unless you know your exact measurements. Sometimes the clothes won’t fit right for your size and you will need to size up.
TARGET
You can find a Target practically anywhere in the country. They have two plus size sections. One for the young folks and another for the grown folks. I love Target’s plus size section because it’s not separated from the regular sized clothes. Whatever clothes you see in the junior section goes from a small to a 3x. You don’t have to go to a separate section. If you see something cute, you can find it in a 1x-3x. If that’s not inclusive, I don’t know what is.
