Plus size clothing is made for people who require a larger size, and it could be classed as anything from a UK size 14 upwards. Different brands class different sizes as ‘plus size’, and some will have specific plus size ranges. Some shops even dedicate themselves to offering specialist plus size clothing options. It’s a profitable area for clothing companies, as more and more brands are getting on board with the idea.
It’s sometimes been seen as somewhat taboo to stock plus size clothing as brands want smaller models to wear and advertise their clothing. However, we are moving towards a time where people understand that plus size is perfectly acceptable and many brands want more realistically-sized models to advertise their clothing ranges. The plus size market can be popular and profitable, and you can certainly make good money from it is you have attractive, forward thinking designs that people actually want to wear.
