Did you know that H&M still carries plus sizes? Not just plus sizes, but up through a size of 4X! Did you know this? Our internet searches landed us on H&M, as we were looking at the newest collection from the Ruth Carter, the costume designer behind Black Panther and her capsule collection.
But, whoa! Were we surprised when we hopped over to H&M plus sizes!
See, H&M has come quite a way. They’ve had a little bit of a rocky path when it comes to plus size fashion.
For starters, they launched a beautiful collection of plus size fashion, overseas. Stopped that collection, brought plus size fashion to the US. Exciting right?
Well, the sizing was a little (or a lot) challenging. From there, they brought plus sizes into select stores, but then unceremoniously removed it.
There was extremely limited and sporadic marketing around their plus size collection and offerings. And we have not even talked about their unfortunate sizing, the first go round…
When was the last time YOU checked out H&M Plus Sizes?
Now for those of you who are wondering where and how the sizing compares, it is not far off! If you compare their size chart to Torrid (which goes up to a size 30, which is technically around a 5 or 6), their size options are very similar, but with a more body conscious cut.
What can you find at H&M in Plus?
But the question is: What About In-Store H&M Plus Size Fashion?
What are they going to do with their marketing? Both on site, in-store, and on social? We do hope that they include more than the sporadic inclusion images of the ever so fly, Tara Lynn.
What’s going to happen with this plus collection?
You can shop H&M Plus Sizes at HM.com!
It is surprising that we haven’t seen very much in the form of marketing advertisements, look books, or featured collections. And will plus sizes be included in their future collaborations that H&M is known for?
So, what is going to happen with their plus size collection? We have to admit there are some cute pieces here that we have found!
And we are so curious about what this will look like moving forward. Is this a mainstay for them? Will they start to be more inclusive in their collaborations?
What are you going to be getting from the H&M collection WITH plus sizes up to a size 4X?
Are you going to be shopping H& M OR have you been shopping THEM ALREADY?
This was eye-opening. I’ve never shopped H&M because I figured there wouldn’t be anything in there that would fit me. Thanks!
Happy to help!!!
It is very poor decision on the part of H&M not to have plus sizes in their stores. We plus size women have to try things on in order to see how they fit our bodies because we are all built so differently from each other. I have slowed down all my online shopping because I am tired of having to pay for things to be shipped back and forth to the store to get the right fit.
Riiiight? I am sure by adding plus in store, they’d add to their bottom line… So unfortunate.
I myself was so disappointed when H&M removed the very small section of plus size clothing from there store
and they want us to shop on line. Are you kidding ?
plus size women always need to try on any type of clothing to see how we feel and how it fits and will that piece of clothing flatter our body type
This does not make any sense to me to only sell plus size on line only. No longer support this Brand they don t care about plus size customers This is just my point of view
Love the H&M plus size collection! I’ve found a lot of great work essentials. I feel like they have a more modern look than other plus-size-only retailers.
That is the perfect phrasing… Modern look…
