7 Plus-Size Sustainable Clothing Brands to Shop in 2023

When it comes to sustainability and ethics, the

sustainable fashion movement has a lot to be proud of. However, how accessible it is may be a different story. One of the most notable flaws in slow fashion is its lack of plus-size sustainable clothing options.

Inclusivity is crucial in getting more people on board with eco-friendly fashion. Unfortunately, many of the most popular sustainable brands carry a very limited selection of sizes. A 2016 survey published in the

International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education found the average size of an American woman is between 16 and 18, yet most clothing lines still only carry up to a size 12.

Accessibility is one of the most important aspects of slow fashion that needs to be looked at, and it's necessary that everyone feel included in a movement that's supposed to be advocating for a better world. We've compiled a list of plus-size sustainable clothing brands that are putting in the work to make ethical clothing available to all.

ARQ was initially founded in 2016 as a children's line, making detailed garments in small batches for little ones. Now, they've expanded to make adorable, sustainably-made basics for adults, too. With their underwear sizes ranging from XXS to 6X, and bra sizes from XS to 3X, you can count on ARQ for comfortable, cute basics you can't get enough of.

If you're on the lookout for sustainable loungewear, HARA's got your back. The brand's mission is to bring change and awareness to human and environmental issues within the fashion industry, all while creating dreamy

bamboo garments that are both rejuvenating and empowering. Not only do they make soft bras and undies, but they also produce gorgeous loungewear and sportswear ranging from XS to 5XL.

LOUD BODIES makes the most ethereal dresses for all your summer picnic and frolicking-in-a-field needs.
