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
I love this swimsuit. It's available in up to a size XXL.
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.
A colorful pop of green makes everything better.
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.
The perfect beach dress for any OOO day.
These aren't regular jeans. They're cool jeans.
I'm a fan of thin cardigans paired with jean shorts in the summer.
H&M
Raise your hand if you can't say no to white denim.
There's nothing that screams summer more than a crisp white button-down.
Bust out your party pants this season.
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.
Smocked tops take my breath away year after year.
I'm in love with how expensive this denim shacket looks.
BRB, I'm planning a trip to Tulum so I can buy and wear this pretty dress.
This burnt orange bodysuit is speaking to me.
I'm all for the sheer skirt trend.
This may be the prettiest find on this list.
Mango
So chic.
'90s Prada would like a word.
Hear me out: Cropped jeans are ideal for showing off your favorite pair of summer sneakers.
I wore this to the office and got so many compliments.
While skirts never go out of style, summer is the prime season for breezy and simple wrap skirts.
Pool-approved.
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.
