Spotlight: River Island Plus Collection

11:02 AM



River Island has recently released their new plus size line, and I have to say I am OBSESSED! River Island is a store I encountered while living in London and loved their clothing, but unfortunately couldn't fit into their smaller sizes. River Island announced back in December of 2015 that they would be releasing a plus size range and it is finally here!

Not only do you have the well-known brand name to these new clothes, but the plus size range is just as fashionable as the straight sized range. The same styles followed through, which is always great for plus size ranges. Although the line is a little pricey, the pieces are all fashionable and great quality. The sizes are from UK 18-24, which is a US 14-20.

RI provides an interivew with plus size model Candice Huffine (one of the models on the website) who states: "I'm a massive RI fan! I always race to store when I get to the UK. The fact that you're extending your size range and staying true to what we know and love the brand for, is perfection. It's clear from the designs that they have been made to suit a curvy woman's body." I couldn't agree more with Candice and I can't wait to try on some of the pieces and see how well they do fit a curvier body.


RI includes so much on their website about this new range, including this awesome video from Laura Puddy explaining how you can style these items! I'm loving how the company is including plus size fashion bloggers since they are a perfect representation of their target market.

Here are some of my favorite picks!:

More to gush about: the company uses ACTUAL plus size models in the pictures so we get to see how it will look on our bodies! Is anyone else shedding a tear?

I want every other company to take note of how awesome this new launch by RI is and how smart they were with their decisions. From keeping the clothing line just as trendy and including the same kind of pieces as their straight size line, to using real plus size models, to including fashion bloggers, the company was very smart with this launch.

I can't wait to see the new items that will be coming out soon, and if any of you have tried out this line yet please leave a comment below and let me know what you thought about it!
