Finding plus-size clothing that not only looks good but feels good is easier than ever thanks to online shops. Looking for a good plus-size brand but aren’t sure where to start?
As convenient as online shopping is, it definitely has its drawbacks. Receiving something that looks completely different from its photograph or trying it on only to discover it’s 3 sizes too small are just the tip of the iceberg.
But even worse is online shopping if you’ve got curves. By the time you’ve filtered your search results and found something you like, it’s likely sold out because less items are usually produced for plus lines. To solve this problem, we want to help you discover some of the top plus-size fashion sites you may not know about.
What’s Your Style?
Before discovering the line that suits your taste and style, you’ll need to figure out what your exact taste is. Are you into dark colors and edgy cuts, or do you prefer light and breezy florals? These are important details to pin down, as every brand has its specific offering.
For the Trendy or Vintage
One extremely popular site is Carmakoma. The Danish brand was established in 2008 and quickly expanded into several international markets. The brand later struggled financially and joined forced with Only, leading to its new name, Only Carmakoma. The new brand’s mission is to dress young plus-size women in fashionable clothes, and it launched its first line in January 2019. It offers everything from pants, like jeans and slacks, to skirts, shirts, and accessories, such as bags and clutches. The best part about it is its pricing. It’s extremely affordable, with jeans costing around $50, and shirts costing around $25.
Of course, if you’re looking for a trend-focused line, you’ll find the hottest pieces at Forever 21+ and Lane Bryant. To look through the clothes on Forever21, just go to the regular site and click “Plus Size.” From there you’ll be taken to Forever 21’s plus line, where you can shop by categories like leggings, swimwear, activewear, or intimates. You can also choose to find clothes by type, like “Best Sellers,” “Shop by Outfit,” or “Top Rated.” This makes it really simple to find exactly what you’re looking for. Forever21 also offers 10% off your first order, and frequent promotions on orders over a certain amount of money. Lane Bryant is one of the most recognizable names in plus-size clothing. Like Forever 21+, the brand emphasizes fashion and trends, as well as good fit. The Columbus, Ohio-based company started in 1904 with maternity designs, and later shifted into plus-size clothing. You can find fancy and casual clothes in sizes 14-28, which are decently priced as well.

It’s an indie and vintage-inspired women’s clothing line that truly offers looks you won’t find anywhere else. Aside from having nice and elegant clothes, ModCloth does things to empower females and female-run businesses. One such example is the company’s initiative taken in March for International Women’s Day. ModCloth dedicated the whole month to
