Is it possible to find chic, minimalist, high-quality and affordable clothes in every size? Until recently, the market seemed to be mostly ignoring those beyond a size 12 US. “Plus size” is usually considered size 14 US and up, although that definition isn’t set in stone). That was a major mistake, as 2017 saw the plus-size or curvy fashion industry bring in 21.4 billion dollars (and compare that to 17.4 billion in 2013).
As the industry continues to expand to include more sizes, so does the offerings of styles. There are now a number of brands that focus on producing fashion-forward, sleek, and minimalist ranges.
These are the minimalist, trendy, and affordable plus size clothing brands we love:
Universal Standard
Launched in 2015 in New York City by two friends, Universal Standard started as an eight piece collection that sold out almost immediately. The two female founders knew they were on to something special, and their incredibly chic, essentials-with-a-twist collection continues to grow. They fit US sizes 6 – 32 (European sizes 38 – 62) . Their styles include professional and every day wear, activewear, and a host of wardrobe basics kits that save time and money.
