15 Sustainable Size-Inclusive Brands (And How to Style Their Pieces)
Style, just like sustainability, is for everybody and everyBODY. The notoriously fatphobic fashion industry has historically fixated on making clothing for thin bodies. Recent referential style trends like Y2K and 90s fashion are a grim reminder that the skinny body ideal still rules fashion, including, unfortunately, the sustainable fashion industry.
Despite this mentality, we’ve curated a list of susty designers and brands making innovative lines for every single body size, body type, gender expression, and everything in between. We feature these brands in our listicles on the reg, but we’ve compiled them in ONE place so you don’t have to click around before you find the jackpot.
