Where to shop plus size

Being plus size is still a bit of a struggle when it comes to finding fashionable clothes that don't break the bank. Over the years I've come across a lot of brands that offer good options for plus size women. I'm a big fan of online shopping so some of these options will be online shopping options, if that's not your thing there's some physical shops too on this list.

Forever21 (XL to 3X)

The golden child. I love Forever21, it's probably my favourite shop and I don't see this love affair coming to an end anytime soon. The clothes in their plus size range are very affordable and so so cute. It's likely you'll have a Forever21 around, I don't because I'm in Portugal so I shop online. If you don't have one around and you need to pay for shipping, here's a little tip: if you subscribe to their newsletter they'll send you a 6€ discount by e-mail, which will help pay for the shipping.

H&M+ (up to a size 54)

Not all H&M shops carry their H&M+ range, so check on their website which do so you can check it out. There's too much hate in the plus size community when it comes to H&M and the way they seem to neglect their plus size range. We need to keep in mind that H&M is just starting out into selling plus size clothes, they need time to grow and develop. I personally cannot complain, they do offer a very small variety of clothes but the ones they do offer are great quality, good size range and very fashionable. Definitely a shop to keep an eye on and see where they take their plus size range.

ASOS curve (up to a uk size 28)

I find ASOS very overpriced, at least by Portuguese standards, but they still offer an amazing array of beautiful clothes and their size selection is amazing. Their shipping is pretty quick too which is always a plus.

La Redoute (up to a size 60)

I highly recommend La Redoute. Not the most stylish place, that's true, but if you keep an eye on it you'll find great deals.

Primark (up to a size 20)

The place where I shop the most. The prices are so low I just can't contain myself. The clothes are always in trend and very cute. Not the best quality clothes, that's true, but you can't expect much when you pay that cheap for clothes. Personally I do not like their jeans, I don't think they're well tailored to a plus size body and they're ill-fitting. Anything else (shirts, dresses, skirts, etc) I really like.

C&A (up to size 54)

I'm not entirely sure if this shop is easily accessible in a lot of countries, I still wanted to mention it in case you get find it around you because it is without a doubt the best place I've found to buy plus size jeans. Their jeans are so well constructed for plus size bodies, they carry a ton of different options and the price is very friendly.

Since I'm in Portugal and I don't have easy access to a lot of shops, I can only recommend you the ones I did try. Even so, I'd like to leave you with a little list of shops I have found along the way and that carry very cute plus size clothes. I have not ordered from these shops (yet) so I cannot provide information on the quality or fit of the clothes but I've seen other bloggers that love them.

Fashion to Figure - LOVE EVERYTHING! Unfortunately there's no shipping to Portugal. Maybe one day.

Simply Be - a bit on the pricey side in my opinion, but the clothes look so high quality and well made.

George - sooo cheap, it's a shame I can't get my hands on their items without paying for shipping. I hate paying for shipping!

Missguided - Another regular sizes shop that decided to start making plus size clothes. It's amazing that shops are starting to realize they need to offer more size diversity. Their clothes are cute but pricey.

Boohoo (up to a size 54) - it's growing on me more and more. Very sexy and daring kind of style, it's not for everyone, but I'm starting to absolutely love it. Free shipping worldwide.

Lane Bryant - old fashioned for my taste but you might like it.

Dorothy Perkins - Love it, specially their dress selection. The prices are quite affordable and they go on sale often.

Torrid (up to a size 58) - I love everything in it, very worth for the jeans as far as I know.

Evans (up to a size 60) - Super worth it for the great lingerie at an accessible price.

New look (up to a 56) - Very trendy and young clothes.

Big tights company - if you want tights, I soooo want to make an order in this shop.

Charlotte Russe - Beautiful clothes for plus size.

Very - A shop I discovered recently, has really cute clothes, but doesn't ship to me either. You might like it though.

Since I think this is a very useful thing to know, I'll create a menu section with this information so you'll find it whenever you want to.

Which are your favorite shops? Let me know, I'm always looking for new ones (specially lingerie).
