In a world where clothing companies constantly claim to be inclusive, it can be hard to tell what is actually inclusive, especially if you don’t wear plus sizes yourself.
Full clothing inclusivity requires carrying up to at least a 12X/size 40 U.S., ideally with a custom sizing option. (And, even more ideally, with options for people who are short, tall or have sensory/mobility needs.) Only a few brands currently meet this standard.
When apparel brands are misleading about their inclusivity, it matters for a few important reasons:
🧥 It increases weight stigma by convincing thin folks that fat folks have plenty of clothing options and don’t need more
🧥 It cynically throws fat folks under the bus in pursuit of profit
🧥 It puts fat folks in the position of constantly having to say “hey, that’s not actually true” and makes us look mean and ungrateful
🧥 It erases fat folks by teaching thin folks that clothing sizes larger than the ones that company carries just don’t exist
🧥 It’s a really crappy, gaslighting, dishonest thing to do
🧥 When you promote companies as “inclusive” that aren’t, you actively make the world a worse place
That means brands that ARE fully inclusive are extra worthy of being celebrated!
Here are 20 plus-size apparel brands that are fully inclusive, from clothing to lingerie to shoes. For fat folks, we hope this gives you more functional and fashionable clothing options. For thin allies, these are the brands to support!
(All sizes and prices are in U.S. measurements unless otherwise noted.)
SmartGlamour
Largest size: 15X+ (86-88″ bust, 88-90″ hip) and custom measurements
Size chart
Price range: Around $8-70
SmartGlamour is a body liberation activist’s dream: clothing truly designed for ALL bodies, custom measurements offered, and models in lots of sizes and shapes. Owner Mallorie Dunn says:
“SmartGlamour is for everyone – truly. So why wouldn’t our models represent that visually? On this website, you’ll find people of all shapes, sizes, heights, weights, abilities, ethnicity, age, and identity.
There is not a single person who is not welcome to model for us. We will never crop out our model’s heads, make them model without their glasses, or depict them in a negative, weak, angry, or bored light. Our models are also never, ever photoshopped or airbrushed.”

Thunda Thighs
Largest size: 36 inches long
No Size Chart
Price range: Around $13-30
Why are plus-size accessories more blah than “regular” sizes? Since when did divinely plus size equal grandma fashions? If it’s not boring, it doesn’t fit the right way. Even amazon plus-size tights run almost immediately, are too transparent, too itchy, and pilling after a few wears because chub rub is real. Each thigh-high, long sock is easy to care for, and chub rub-durable. The soft knit, brushed acrylic is supremely cozy too!
