It's official: the confusing, loosely defined fashion term "plus-size" is on its way out while size-inclusive fashion is in. According to Fashion Network, size-inclusivity is more than just larger clothing sizes and it offers zero forced similarities to pieces of fruit (e.g., apple-shaped, pear-shaped, etc.). Instead, size-inclusivity approaches human bodies as the wonderfully diverse works of art that they are. Size inclusivity takes sex, gender, ethnicity, shape, height, and differently-abled bodies into account to create trendy, fashionable clothing that works for everybody.
The term "plus-size" has confused clothing designers, brands, and consumers for years. If you've ever tried on the same size and cut of jeans from two different stores and found they fit completely differently, you've likely experienced this firsthand. Originally, plus-size meant clothing that came in sizes larger than a US 10 or UK 12. When the current average woman is a size 16 or 18, the plus-size sizing system alone leaves a lot of people behind (via Forbes). Plenty of brands have attempted to bridge this gap by offering plus-size clothing lines, although these extended sizing lines often differ drastically in look and quality from the traditional lines. They also tend to have limited selections, be fast-fashion, and can even be hard to locate in a brick-and-mortar store (via Motif). Net Blouse
Thankfully, more and more designers and indie brands are embracing this revolutionary approach to fashion and women's bodies. Here's what you need to know about the best size-inclusive fashion brands.
Canadian brand Alder Apparel has taken outdoor recreation fashion to new heights. Created by life-long friends Naomi Blackman and Mikayla Wujec, the brand's focus has always been to make an inclusive outdoor brand that embraces diversity, sustainability, and transparency (via Outside). They also wanted to move past the traditional marketing of outdoor fashion that made it seem as though only superfit people focusing on performance could enjoy the magic of nature. According to Alder Apparel, the pair wanted to put the fun back into outdoor recreation while simultaneously leading the charge for size-inclusive fashion.
Currently, Alder Apparel offers sizes XS-6X, with additional measurement guides available for biceps, shoulders, and arm length to help achieve the perfect fit. They offer a small range of expertly crafted items, including cargo pants, joggers with pockets, and their signature Get Dirty dress. Different sustainable fabrics are used depending on the item, such as Elastane, recycled nylon, or Tencel, which comes from renewable wood sources like eucalyptus. Alder Apparel is also committed to authentic, diverse marketing campaigns that showcase all the ways a person can be outdoorsy.
We can't talk about the best size-inclusive fashion brands and not mention Universal Standard, a brand that wrote the book on size-inclusivity. As the name suggests, Universal Standard has made it its mission to create unprecedented access to fashion in sizes 00-40 (via Universal Standard). According to Forbes, Universal Standard proved early on that a profitable size-inclusive brand was not only possible but needed. By creating a size 18 as the actual middle-of-the-road size for their brand, they have accurately reflected the reality of women's bodies and garnered a loyal fan base that can't get enough of their clothes.
Universal Standard offers an incredible range of clothing, from sophisticated workwear and everyday denim to intimates and cozy cashmere sweaters. They also offer petite and maternity clothing, all of which are engineered for the fit models used rather than an arbitrary measurement. The brand's style is minimalistic with thoughtful details and a large selection of solid colors that help build a wardrobe. Universal Standard's revolutionary Fit Liberty program is another brand perk. Fit Liberty allows women to buy clothes in their current size. If their size changes within the year, Universal Standard will replace the item in a new size for free, reducing the stigma and anxiety of shopping for people with changing bodies.
