On the heels of Universal Standard’s acquisition of Henning last year, these powerhouses brought us their first collaboration as sister brands! The Henning x Universal Standard (HxUS) collection is a stunning collaboration set to redefine the norms of business professional fashion. 

The HxUS collection is packed to the brim with workwear options for plus size professionals, celebrating the beauty of every body shape.

What to expect from the Henning x Universal Standard Collection

Brainchild of cool-girl designer Lauren Chan, Henning is all about sharp tailoring and statement silhouettes. Universal Standard, meanwhile, is the queen of size-inclusive, feel-good fashion. Put them together, and what do you get? Power suits that hug your curves like a lover and ultra-luxe tees that drape like liquid gold.

But this collab isn’t just about looking fierce (although, honey, you will). It’s about feeling damn good in your own skin. The size range spans a glorious 00 to 40, continually proving that plus size and high fashion are like peanut butter and jelly – they just work. Every piece is designed to inspire and empower, no matter your curves or confidence level.

As the fashion landscape continues to evolve towards size-inclusivity, this collaboration (and acquisition) is another significant step toward more widely available chic, contemporary plus size workwear styles for women of size.

Our favorite options from the Henning x Universal Standard Collection

As The Curvy Fashionista editors, we write about stuff we love and think you’ll like, too. We often use affiliate links, which means we receive a small share of the revenue from your purchase. This does not affect the amount you pay for the product in any way, shape, or form.

The Henning x US Warren Blazer – This beauty is an instant power move. Sharp lines, a cropped silhouette, and that warm brown? Yes, please! Throw it on over jeans for a casual-cool vibe, or pair it with the Mercer Pants for a boardroom-ready look that’ll have jaws dropping.

The Jones Cupro Tee – This elevated tee is the definition of effortless chic. It’s like your favorite t-shirt, but after a fancy spa day – think drapey cupro fabric, subtle shaping darts, and a double hem that hugs your curves just right. Dress it up with trousers and statement earrings, or rock it with ripped jeans and sneakers for a laid-back vibe.

The Park Soft Trench – This trench is pure magic. It’s lightweight, soft, and drapes like a dream, making you feel like the star of your own noir film. Wear it open over a slip dress for a sultry nighttime look, or cinch it at the waist with a belt for a more polished vibe.
