Reformation Just Launched a Permanent Plus-Size Collection—and It’s Crazy-Good
It’s a good day when Reformation announces that it’s just launched extended sizing—permanently. You may have noticed that the cool-girl brand has been dabbling in the plus-size market since 2018 when it launched its first-ever plus-size capsule collection and Reformation jeans in sizes 14 through 24. But the brand has been quick to admit, “It wasn’t enough.” Over the past few years, it’s spent a lot of time talking to customers and listening to feedback so it could institute a permanent plus-size collection with the fits and styles people really wanted. A rep told us, “It was important to us this was done right.” Based on what we’ve seen so far, it certainly was.

Scroll below to shop the best pieces from the newly launched extended-size collection that’s here to stay!
