I had never understood how hard it was to find clothes until I spent majority of my teenage years being plus sized. There are some stores that sell plus size clothing but they make you look like a big trash bag. It’s as if, just because you’re plus sized, they want you to feel less than normal. So now I will share the stores I have found over the years to not only be cheap, but super cute as well.
I can’t quite remember when Forever 21 officially released their plus size clothing line; however, I do remember how excited I was. Like other smart companies, they realized that by producing plus sized clothing that was as cute as their smaller sizes, they could give their customers the same confidence, and in the end, make more money than stores that do not sell plus size clothing.
Online and in store, you can almost always find a good deal. I noticed throughout the summer they had this deal where certain dresses were 12 dollars, and most of the time they came in different colors so you had a variety to choose from. Overall I would have to say that Forever 21 definitely has the cheapest plus size clothing as well as the biggest variety in style. They also have cute cheap accessories (like their $7.90 sunnies) as well!
Next has to be H&M. The downside to them is that they tend to be a tad bit more expensive than Forever 21, but they extra money is worth it. I would say that H&M definitely has a store wide established style with more than the majority of their clothing. The clothing also is perfect if you are a person who loves to wear black year around (like myself).
I always noticed when shopping in the store that their clothing definitely seems as if it’s meant to attract an older audience, which is why a lot of H&M’s clothing is pretty perfect for the office look. You know, when you’re trying to keep a sense of style while also keeping it appropriate for the work environment.
Recently my mother introduced me Lane Bryant. The great thing about Lane Bryant is that they have really cute plus size intimates in addition to their clothing. I feel as if though their clothing is pricey, but because they sell quality clothing. The store is great for females of all ages, they sell clothing that ranges from playful all the way to professional as well. Lane Bryant also offers really great active wear as well shoes and accessories as well.
I would also recommend downloaded the apps of these websites. It is great for in-store shopping as well as shopping online. The apps have features where they will instantly alert you if there are things such as flash sales. And sometimes (if you’re lucky) using your app in store can get you closer to earning a discount.
