The beautiful clothing these brands are known for is (finally!) available in extended sizes.
Loft, Target, and J.Crew are go-to shopping destinations for both work-ready outfits and casual weekend wear. But for too long, the limited size ranges at these stores prevented many from shopping there—that is, until the recent announcements that all three companies are expanding their size offerings. To celebrate the news, we've rounded up some of our favorite picks from all three brands, below. Here's everything you need to make it through what's left of winter and refresh your wardrobe for spring.

J.Crew Toothpick Jean
