CurvedWear

CurvedWear is the destination for curvy women sizes 12 to 24 looking for perfectly fitting travel/hiking/outdoor adventure pants with technical features such as moisture-wicking, quick dry, wrinkle-resistant material and deep, functional pockets. From casual weekends to hiking to creating a base wardrobe for travel, CurvedWear pants are among the first for curvy gals that are designed for comfort, style, AND function.

CurvedWear pants are made by curvy gals for curvy gals and are made ethically with a focus on clean supply chains and sustainable fabric and are manufactured in the United States. Our commitment to sustainability includes our Replacements program, in which customers can return pants that no longer fit in exchange for $40 off another pair in their current size. All returned pants are donated to women’s shelters.

Our mission is to provide an option for curvy gals who want to play outside in comfort and to help women achieve equality, justice, self-confidence, and self-worth so they can focus on their own comfort and needs.

To that end, CurvedWear donates a portion of its revenue to a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering girls and women to run for office, such as She Should Run, Vote Mama, and Ignite National.

Founder Story
CurvedWear was born out of a personal need for functional and comfortable pants for travel and outdoor activities, but an inability to find any that had room in the butt, hips, and thighs and weren't too large or have a huge gap in the waist. Tired of having to buy men’s pants or larger pants needing serious alterations, and tired of being uncomfortable and unable to enjoy my time while wearing these larger pants, I designed my own. I just knew that function and fashion for curvy gals can both exist. So, outside of my day job as a research forensic psychologist and my activism for women’s rights and getting more women elected to office, I dove into learning about fabric, manufacturing, and what "contoured waist" meant. With enthusiastic support, I iterated and re-iterated a prototype until it was perfect. The result is what I hope will contribute in some small way to changing the industry so that all women are served equally.
