We love seeing more size-inclusive brands emerge as well as pre-existing brands become more diverse by developing a broader range of clothing sizes. We are strong believers in normalising and celebrating different body shapes in mass-market fashion, which is easily available to all. Trust us, we know there is still a lot of work to be done in achieving this dream of ours, however, we are pleased with the progress we are seeing.
We have selected fourteen brands which are leading the body positivity movement. They are showing style does not have to be compromised when producing a wide range of sizes. Watch out for these brands in 2023 as we believe they will continue to create positivity, inclusion and sick fashion.
