20 Sustainable Plus Size Friendly Brands to Shop Right Now

Loud Bodies Launches a New Plus Size Sustainable Collection up through a 7X!

Eco-friendly fashion is a niche, and when you add plus sizes, it becomes a double niche, which makes the search extremely difficult. Sustainable plus size fashion is also ethical fashion, which usually includes a garment design, production, and distribution that reduces harm to people and the environment. We’re here to take the challenge away and make shopping easier.

What exactly is sustainable plus size fashion?

The term sustainable fashion has been used frequently to describe what and how clothes are made.

- Advertisement -

It’s a movement and process of fostering change to fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. Sustainable fashion is also eco-fashion.

Eco-friendly fabrics are those that are safe for the environment, recycled, or biodegradable. The most popular ones are linen, cotton, wool, hemp, as well as anything that’s recycled and used in a new garment.

Mood Fabrics

Unsustainable fabrics are nylon and polyester, which are made from petrochemical and are non-biodegradable. Rayon is another artificial fiber.

If sustainable plus size fashion is extremely important to you, you need to pay extra attention when shopping online. Take the time to read the garment description and when shopping in-store, read the fabric content tag.

Loud Bodies- Sustainable Plus Size Friendly Brands to Shop
Sustainable plus size brand, Loud Bodies

How to be more eco-friendly with your clothes?

  • Don’t throw away your lightly used clothes. Take them to a secondary store
  • Resell on websites like Poshmark
  • Donate your softly used clothes to shelters and charities
  • Give to an animal shelter
  • Check out local textile recycling locations
  • Give them away to a friend or family member

    I would like to have more sustainable garments in my wardrobe. Unfortunately, the prices for these materials are way out of my financial means. It’s hard to find inexpensive plus size clothing that isn’t complete trash (style wise or construction). Until the fashion industry decides to make all clothes available in all sizes (and dump the division between standard and plus size) or I win the lottery, (neither is likely to happen in my lifetime), I feel like my clothing choices are severely limited. It’s s depressing. I feel like being fat makes me unworthy to wear certain styles and labels.

    WOW thank you so much!!! Shopping sustainably is really important to me, but finding sustainable plus sized clothes is so hard and I found so many fun brands here. I wish they were less expensive, but unfortunately, most sustainable fashion is expensive. I feel fortunate that I have the means to buy sustainable clothing and hope the entire industry will move that direction eventually.
