PPAI • MAY 2025 • 11 In Style | Essentials options allows recipients to “select what they genuinely want.” Despite the clear advantages of inclusive sizing, it’s not yet a standard among all clothing manufacturers, which means offering it can give you a competitive advantage. According to Doug Jackson, president of Minnesota-based apparel supplier Storm Creek, “the demand for inclusive sizing is growing, and offering a wider range of sizes allows us to reach more customers.” Inclusive sizing also helps with sustainability. There is nothing worse than getting a new garment and quickly realizing it doesn’t fit. When you create branded items that make people feel confident in their own skin, they are much more likely to hang on to them. “If people like what they are wearing, the chances of it ending up in a landfill decrease,” says Jackson. Here are some examples of inclusively sized apparel items that will be sure to make anyone look and feel their best.

It comes in three neutral colorways and is a great layering piece. When featured in one distributor customer’s company store, it sold out in under 15 minutes, according to Jackson.
