As a plus-size editor, I know a thing or two about online shopping. It's practically the thing I'm most qualified to do, as I spend hours parsing through online sale sections and scrolling through endless pages to find chic clothing items that are both size-inclusive and affordable. With the holiday season upon us, I'm finding myself with more free time than ever, meaning my late-night shopping sessions have gone into overdrive. Horrible for my wallet, incredible for you all.
During a midnight scroll through Mango, J.Crew, and H&M, I was shocked to see a slew of timeless basics, elevated essentials, and trend-forward pieces available larger than a size 12. Even though these retailers make up the majority of my closet, I'm not going to lie—I get a little bit giddy when I see an item I love being offered in my size.
Below, shop all of the chicest plus-size clothing items, whether brand classics or hot new arrivals, from Mango, J.Crew, and H&M. If you end up buying everything on this list, don't say I didn't warn you!
