It’s true that the fashion industry has made significant progress toward size inclusivity in recent years, but it’s still nowhere near perfect. As the editor of a shopping-focused site, I do a lot of online window-shopping in search of the best things to add to my cart. While I’ve definitely noticed how the number of plus-size options offered has grown exponentially, there’s still a noticeable gap between what’s available in straight sizes versus plus sizes despite the fact that studies show the average dress size in the U.S. is between 16 and 18 (not a size 2 as the fashion industry would have us believe).
To prove that you can dress in stylish and on-trend items regardless of your size, I did what I do best and put together a massive shopping list of the internet’s best new arrivals to end your summer with a bang and maybe even start prepping your wardrobe for fall. (Too soon?) In the below roundup, you’ll find items that hit on some of the buzziest trends alongside updated staples such as ribbed tanks, new Reformation dresses, sellout-worthy Skims pieces, and so much more. Happy shopping!
It’s only a matter of time until these sell out.
Jeans and trousers just met their match.
No thoughts, just vibes.
Not just for sleeping.
Wear with sandals now and boots later.
To buy now or bookmark for later.
Marimekko’s prints make me the happiest.
So sleek.
Trouser-sweats are quickly becoming a thing.
Nothing to see here except a really good tank top.
