8 Brands to Shop for Gender Neutral Plus Size Clothing

 

Looking for plus-size friendly gender-neutral clothing?

As feminine leaning plus size clothing options have continued to increase tenfold, clothing that is more masculine in style but accommodates for a larger body is still hard to find.

We’ve got your back! Below is a list (and growing) community of genderfluid and neutral clothing designers creating clothes for fat and plus-size bodies.

These designers make everything from leather harnesses and statement tee to custom suits and vintage-inspired swimwear so there’s a little something for everybody.

J Aprileo Weighs in On Accessibility of Gender Neutral Plus Size Clothing

J Aprileo of Comfy Fat is a blogger who knows all about this struggle. We interviewed J (who uses they/them pronouns) about what it’s like shopping as a nonbinary plus size babe.

J says their size isn’t carried in any store, which makes shopping online the only option.

And that presents another challenge: J splits their shopping experience evenly between “men’s” and “women’s” stores. Women’s clothing works best for pants and shorts, while the men’s section is better for shirts and jackets.

I find it strange now to think that people actually believe all bodies should be shaped one certain way if you’re a man or a woman… 

Bodies are all so different, how can we assume one type of cut of clothing will fit or FEEL the best?”  J Aprileo of Comfy Fat

J points out that gender neutral often leans more masculine than neutral and many of these options are not available in plus sizes.   

During my research, I discovered the UK-based brand Gender Free World. They design based on body type. This is such a cool concept, but they only make pieces up to the equivalent of a size US 20.

This list is not only meant to be informational in terms of what already exists but hopefully a call to action for more designers to expand their sizes ranges.

If there’s a designer or brand we missed, definitely let us know in the comments below!
