It should come as no surprise to you when I say how much I love Universal Standard. Their minimalist, luxury pieces of clothing with a modern edge speak my language. I could replace my whole wardrobe with any and every piece from the brand and live a happy, chic life, but the BEST thing from US are the t-shirts. Now, I don’t want to jump the gun, but I will be doing a GIVEAWAY of 3 t-shirts (3 winners) at the end of this post, so stick around!

In my opinion, t-shirts in the plus size world suck. They are generally made for smaller sizes, and then blown up. The proportions are almost always off, they don’t fit with the curve, and the sleeves are the WORST. US t-shirts are the BEST. They call their crew neck t-rex and their v-necks are cleverly called v-rex. The sleeves are perfect, the material is so soft and luxe feeling, and the curve fits so naturally!

Have you heard me go on enough about how awesome these t-shirts are?! Okay, so I have to brag on another thing quickly, then I’ll get to some more good stuff. Universal Standard has implemented a really cool program they call the Universal Fit Liberty. Basically, they have a gaggle of their basics that they will allow you to send back at any time during the first year if you need a new size. Their whole reasoning is THE BEST. It’s amazing! They basically don’t want you to worry about “well, this will fit in the future.” They want you to consider the NOW. Buy for where you are now, and if something changes within the first year, you can send it in to swap the size.

I’ve lost 90 pounds this year. It’s hard to justify purchases when you know you are actively losing, because you don’t want to spend TOO much since you won’t be in the clothes for long, but you want quality. So yes, a t-shirt from US is $50, but it’s worth it, and if you happen to change sizes, you are COVERED. It’s a blessing. It truly is!

So how do you get your hands on US? You can always purchase online with free shipping. US is also carried by Nordstrom, and they are doing a #USacrossUS tour currently, so if you’re near one of the cities (below,) you could always go to one of those! I am going to their pop-up next weekend in Chicago, and if you’re in that area, I would love to see you there!! (And if you’re the modeling kind, they are having an open call on 10/29 at their pop-up!)

ROADTRIP CITIES: St. Louis (Oct. 23), Chicago (Oct. 26-29), Columbus (Oct. 31), Washington D.C. (Nov. 3-5), New York (Nov. 7-8)
