Size range is a hot-button topic in fashion right now, and rightfully so. For those in marginalized bodies, particularly plus-size bodies, it's always been harder to find clothing that matches your style and comes in your size. But luckily, things are starting to change. Lately, there's been an increase in the demand for clothing brands to expand sizing beyond the limits of straight sizes—and even for those who carry plus to extend further than a 3X. According to a 2016 study published in the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education, the average American woman wears a size 16-18.1 It only makes sense, then, that brands grow to serve this demographic. There's even an organized call to action to demand better size ranges—Fight for Inclusivity, created by model and fat activist Saucye West.
While most brands still have lots of work to do to become more size-inclusive, if you're searching for style that comes in a wide range of sizes, the good news is you have more options than ever. Most of these brands have a full range of sizes while some are plus size brands, but all offer something unique and are changing the standard. Ahead, see 20 size-inclusive brands that offer up to 6X and beyond, so you can be sure to find something great for your next wardrobe refresh.
