Size inclusivity continues to be a challenge in the fashion industry despite the rapid progression that’s been made over the last few years. For every one model like Ashley Graham, who walks down the runway with their curves on full display, twelve others sporting traditional frames follow. Rather than suggesting that plus-size bodies are and should be celebrated, this lack of total inclusivity, reduced to one or two models a show, proposes a facade of acceptance and support.
Albeit quite slow, brands are starting to emerge with size inclusivity in mind, challenging the industry and forcing others to fall in line. Companies like Good American and Savage X Fenty really held everyone’s feet to the fire, developing not only plus-size products but truly size-inclusive ones.
What Is Plus-Size vs. Size-Inclusive?
While plus-size often refers to clothing made specifically for plus-size bodies, which also means specific styles designed for that category alone, size-inclusivity refers to one product developed in a range of sizes for all body types, meaning no matter your frame, there is a size for you.
We’ve rounded up the best user-tested brands with plus-size and size-inclusive styles, perfect for every season, every occasion, and every body. Feel confident and bold about the skin you’re in!

Product with Promising Customer Feedback: Blake Long Blazer, $50.83+ (Currently available in XXS-5X)
“The minute I put the jacket on I knew this was a perfect accessory to my wardrobe. The length of the jacket is perfect and covers the hips and is very elongating. The color is a great neutral and it looks great with the light-colored jeans I wore with it and it can be worn over pants, jeans, and skirts. The sleeves being longer than usual wasn’t too much of an issue because I pushed them up. The quality is very nice and the stitching is clean. For the price this is one of the better deals on a classic styled jacket that is versatile to wear anywhere.” —P. Cuties2b

“I am 5’10” and 275lbs. I’ve been wanting to try this style cus you see some version of it, EVERYWHERE right now. I was worried my size might not make for the most flattering fit. Well, I was wrong!! These leggings truly do snatch your waistline, tuck you in and give your butt a little lift on top of the flattering effect of the stitching!!! I adore these leggings. I’m crossing my fingers that they come out in boot cut because boot cut leggings are my heart, lol. The fit is true to size. You can bend, twist and move and everything stays where it should. All in all, they’re a really nice pair of pants. Highly recommend!!” —Niccole
