the new plus size brands
-
Violeta
An offshoot of Mango, Violeta is what Zara would look like if it catered to, ahem, more sizes than it already does. The pieces are modern and fit-minded — they're kinda minimal right now, since that's in-style, and they'll work for any variety of sartorial situations. Fall is about plaids, nubby warm sweaters and sleek, pretty frocks.
Violeta Button Chiffon Blouse, $89.99 at Mango. -
Violeta
Violeta Herringbone Jacquard Dress, $139.99 at Mango.
-
17 Sundays
This is another great site to add to your online shopping arsenal. It features some trends, but also a lot of great wardrobe basics and staples. The brand is Australian, and you'll pay a bit more than usual for shipping, but the prices of the pieces themselves make up for it.
17 Sundays Lust For Life Faux Leather Joggers, $130.17 at 17 Sundays.
-
17 Sundays
17 Sundays BASIC Colour Blocked Body Con Dress, $74.36 at 17 Sundays.
-
Carmakoma
Finally, a site that feels more like a lifestyle and true style source rather than just straightforward inventory. It should come as no surprise that Carmakoma is foreign — from Denmark with love. Edgy street style is the standard here with looks in sleek, dark hues that wouldn't at all be out of place on street style photo blogs.
Carmakoma Kau Blazer, $178.02 at Carmakoma. -
Carmakoma
Carmakoma Connect Dress, $142.38 at Carmakoma.
-
Eileen Fisher Plus
A high-end option for all the keep-forever basics you're coveting. Loose, easy silhouettes are the name of the game at Fisher's plus line — think warm-looking neutral coats and black work-to-night-out wear. Pricey, yes, but a good foil for those "no plus-size designers" arguments.
Eileen Fisher Plus Size Round Neck Long Jacket in Washable Wool Interlock, $378 at Eileen Fisher.
-
Eileen Fisher Plus
Eileen Fisher Plus Size Funnel Neck Coat in Baby Alpaca Doubleface, $518 at Eileen Fisher.
-
Eloquii
Eloquii isn't new if you've been around the plus-size shopping block before, but previous iterations have been underwhelming. The reboot, though, has our attention. It's trendier, more fun and doesn't feel at all like an afterthought.
Eloquii Printed Kady Pant, $78 at Eloquii. -
Eloquii
Eloquii Fit and Flare Dress, $118 at Eloquii.
-
Karen Kane
Karen Kane's plus-sized offerings feel slightly less trend-driven, which is a good thing for your wardrobe and your bank account.
Karen Kane Plus Size 3/4 Sleeve Maxi Dress, $136 at Karen Kane. -
Karen Kane
Karen Kane Plus Size Faux Leather Legging, $124 at Karen Kane.
-
Zelie for She
If your personal style leans more toward the "colorful and wonderful" side of the spectrum, check out Zelie for She. Utterly reasonable prices only make the deal sweeter. Plus, the amazing bra-like crop tops, jumpsuits and pants are made of stand out fabrics.
Zelie for She Geo Cape, $82 at Zelie for She. -
Zelie for She
Zelie for She Bliss Bralette, $55 at Zelie for She.
-
Fashion to Figure
Fashion to Figure should already be in your bookmarks for its great, trendy goods for low prices. But what's newly on our radar? The extended denim offerings! On-trend and the price is oh, so right.
Fashion to Figure Monday Through Sunday Stretch Jeans, $35 at Fashion to Figure. -
Fashion to Figure
Fashion to Figure Lady in Red Dress, $45.50 at Fashion to Figure.
-
City Chic
We especially love City Chic because the brand doesn't skimp out on the little details that make the outfit — non-beige bras along with colored/patterned tights and at fast fashion prices, too.
City Chic 80D Coloured Tights in Peacock, $9.71 at City Chic. -
City Chic
City Chic Dangerous Liason Dress, $112.46 at City Chic.

-
Ruche Plus
Ruche, an uber-femme shop that can best be described as Anthropologie's sweet, doting niece, also caters to plus-size shoppers. With frocks and frilly skirts, Ruche can dress you for wedding guest duties (or any other of a multitude of situations).
Just Because Peplum Curvy Plus Blouse, $38.99 at Ruche. -

JIBRI
Etsy, despite any preconceived notions you might have, can totally be a plus-sized shopper's friend. JIBRI is a dedicated plus shop, and we love the bright, solid colors and drapey silhouettes of so many of the beautiful garments.
