gender neutral brands to shop

Looking for plus size friendly gender neutral clothing?

As feminine leaning plus size clothing options have continued to increase tenfold, clothing that is more masculine in style but accommodates for a larger body is still hard to find.

We’ve got your back! Below is a list (and growing) community of genderfluid and neutral clothing designers creating clothes for fat and plus-size bodies.

These designers make everything from leather harnesses and statement tee to custom suits and vintage-inspired swimwear so there’s a little something for everybody.

Brands To Shop For Androgynous and Gender Neutral Plus Size Clothing


J Aprileo Weighs in On Accessibility of Gender Neutral Plus Size Clothing

J Aprileo of Comfy Fat is a blogger who knows all about this struggle. We interviewed J (who uses they/them pronouns) about what it’s like shopping as a nonbinary plus size babe.

J says their size isn’t carried in any store, which makes shopping online the only option.

Here are 10 plus-size LGBTQIA+-owned brands!

And that presents another challenge: J splits their shopping experience evenly between “men’s” and “women’s” stores. Women’s clothing works best for pants and shorts, while the men’s section is better for shirts and jackets.

I find it strange now to think that people actually believe all bodies should be shaped one certain way if you’re a man or a woman… Bodies are all so different, how can we assume one type of cut of clothing will fit or FEEL the best?”

J points out that gender neutral often leans more masculine than neutral and many of these options are not available in plus sizes.

During my research, I discovered the UK-based brand Gender Free World. They design based on body type. This is such a cool concept, but they only make pieces up to the equivalent of a size US 20.

This list is not only meant to be informational in terms of what already exists but hopefully a call to action for more designers to expand their sizes ranges.

If there’s a designer or brand we missed, definitely let us know in the comments below!

  1. Can you please redo this list cause a lot of the links are outdated, one of the sites doesn’t even have 3x or 4x clothes.

    Recommend SheIn as well.
    Sincerely,
    A gender neutral person

  2. While Dapper Boi technically has clothing up to size 4X, their measurements for the 4X are more like a 1X or a 2X. Maybe they are a UK company? I find this to be irritating, frustrating, and a tiny bit dishonest. I’m not sure they deserve to be on this list even.

    1. Thank you for the feedback on this brand, Maleah! We definitely find it disappointing when sizes and measurements don’t add up. We will be reaching out to the brand to see if they have plans on fixing this!!
