Primark is a widely recognised fast fashion brand famous for its seriously affordable clothing, but does it offer plus size clothing?

Does Primark have a plus size range?
Primark has addressed the demand for greater size inclusivity by phasing out numbered sizing and instead providing small (S), medium (M), and large (L) options.
They have also expanded their size range in recent years to include 2XS (equivalent to UK size 4) through to 2XL (equivalent to UK size 24).
So yes, Primark now caters to plus-size people but their sizes are limited. If you’re over a size 24, you’ll need to shop elsewhere.

Is Primark’s plus-size collection good quality?
As a cheaper fast fashion brand, the quality of Primark’s clothing may reflect the affordable price in terms of fit and quality.
However it’s not all badl; some pieces are better quality than others. Unfortunately it’s a matter of trial and error.
What other brands offer plus-size?
Several popular brands now offer a wider range of options for plus-size people, including ASOS, Mango, Reformation, H&M, and Monki.
What is considered plus-size UK?
