The high street has radically upped its game in the last few years when it comes to larger sizes and this season’s Summer offerings are better than ever.
One of my main bugbears with the mainstream plus size industry has always been the apparent refusal to use models who are in fact remotely plus! It has always irritated me as we want to see the clothes as they were intended, how else can we gauge how we might look in them?
Thankfully Mango, H&M and River Island all use gorgeous models, who look great in the gear and are also a bit more representative of the customer. From light and versatile dresses at Mango, fab figure-hugging jumpsuits at H&M and ultra wearable separates at River Island, the Plus collections are seriously covetable this season.
