The fashion industry has long alienated plus-size consumers, but thankfully, the tides are slowly starting to turn. While only a handful of fast fashion brands once catered to plus sizes, there are now dozens of stores committed to making elevated plus-size clothing for women. Trailblazers like Marina Rinaldi and Christian Siriano, who have offered plus sizes for decades, have paved the way for other designer labels like Versace and Ganni to carry extended sizes in recent years. Major retailers such as J.Crew and Madewell have also followed suit, while a number of small, size-inclusive brands have emerged to help fill the gap in the market for stylish plus-size offerings, too.
Whether you're shopping for sleek workwear, a gorgeous party dress, or everyday basics, here, we found the 21 best stores that carry up to size 6XL.
