6 Online Brands That Youâll Actually Want to Shop From
Only goes up to a size XL? Ew. Outdated prints and frumpy fits? Double Ew. Doesnât even use plus-size models in their garment photos? TRIPLE EW.Â
 Weâve all been through it. Scrolling through our devices, finding the cutest little clothing piece on instagram, going to the website of said clothing piece and then... getting the worst news possible: they donât have our size. Thus begins the spiral of devastation, frustration, and hopelessness while we ask ourselves âWHEN IS IT OUR TURN TO BE CATERED TO?âÂ
As someone who has experienced this horrible feeling themselves, I have set out on curating a list of my favorite inclusive, innovative, and fashionable clothing brands that never let me down with their unique styles and aesthetics. And because I care about ya, here they are just for you <3
WRAY NYC is a staple for me. A NYC-based, size inclusive, fine arts inspired brand that delivers both casual and elevated pieces from their checkered lounge sets (as pictured above) to silky and sexy evening dresses. Check out their new holiday collection for stunning pieces to show off to your friends, family, and tinder dates this upcoming festive season.Â

Future forward body wear designed for all bodies. CHROMAT is a brand that Iâve always admired. Through their swimwear, they convey a very valuable message, that âevery body is worthy of love, acceptance, and being empoweredâ. Though they are a little more expensive than you run of the mill Target bathing suit, their garment quality and unique style make the investment oh so worth it.

FBC in three words: Campy, non-traditional, made-to-last (okay I know that last one was not one word, give me a break here). Self proclaimed to be exclusively designed and operated by lizards (Penelope, the owner, has a wicked sense of humor), this brand walks the fine line between the absurd and the everyday wear in their magnificently unique garments. My favorite piece from their new collection is their Swiss Cheese Trouser, a pastel yellow, linen pant with circular cutouts on the legs. It doesnât get much better than that.Â

The line is inspired by a range of influences including contemporary design, illustration, early cartoons, digital art and nature. Want to turn some heads with your look? Then look no further than this brand.

Owned, operated, and designed by Japanese model and comedian Naomi Watanabe, this cutesy clothing brand has been a pioneer for inclusive fashion in Japan and Eastern Asia.

Long lasting, size inclusive, ethically made, creatively designed, and affordable tights and body wear. Need I say more?
(Okay I will say a little more - definitely check out their white âWhen Doves Cryâ garter hose. Has the most perfect opaque color and soft buttery feel. Youâll thank me later.)
