I'm a Plus-Size Editor Who Lives for Summer—See 28 H&M, Mango, and Nordy Finds

Summer is when I really start dressing, as the cool kids say. As a 24-year-old living in downtown New York, where every sidewalk seems to be the equivalent of an arts-scene fashion show, the summer season is the most crucial season when it comes to fashion. While my job as an editor is to find chic and on-trend items that everyone on the internet is lusting after (myself included), it's hard to make those purchases if I know they won't come in my size.
Time and time again, plus-size people have paved the way for retailers and brands to deliver on size-inclusive promises. Over the last few years, more of our editors' beloved brands have taken steps in the right direction. Brands like H&M and Mango are staples in our everyday wardrobes, so their semi-recent size expansions are cause for celebration. Designers like Good American or Rails, who make size inclusivity the crux of their operations, have found a home at Nordstrom. If you're above a size 12, you're in luck. The once annoying task of searching through racks and scrolling through online pages to find the best plus-size summer clothing has finally come to an end. Just in time for summer, find all the best dresses, swimsuits, skirts, jeans, and tops from Nordstrom, H&M, and Mango for bodies of all sizes.
Nordstrom
Good American has one of the best inclusive size ranges in the fashion industry.
Pair this skirt with a black tank and chunky leather sandals for a quiet-luxury look.
If you're looking for a sleek and monochromatic look to wear to a night out this summer, look no further than this shaping Good American bodysuit.
H&M
Every great outfit starts with a solid foundation. Case in point? This under-$10 tank top. I have it in nearly every color.
While French women love their straight-leg denim in the summer, I can't help but notice slim skinny jeans popping up on my feed as of late.
As someone who owns too many cargo pants to count, I'm putting my full support behind this affordable and size-inclusive pair.
BRB, I'm planning a trip to Tulum so I can buy and wear this pretty dress.
Mango
Hear me out: Cropped jeans are ideal for showing off your favorite pair of summer sneakers.
While skirts never go out of style, summer is the prime season for breezy and simple wrap skirts.
Pair this with some elevated leather slides for the ideal off-duty model outfit.
Move aside, black-and-white Breton stripes. This pistachio-colored iteration is calling my name.
