Inclusivity and Community Support
One of Lucy & Yaks greatest strengths is their support and inclusivity of all people no matter their body size or identity.
They state that their goal is for their clothing to be able to be worn by as many people as possible, hence why they have expanded their sizing range.
They feature models with a diverse range of bodies, which is important as plus size and disabled people are severely underrepresented in the modelling industry.
They have a wide size range that goes from 4 to a 32, they also have petite and tall sizes.
They are proud supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community and state that this community has always been at the heart of Lucy & Yak.
In support of this community they created The Bonds Between Us collection to celebrate the connections, the people and communities that uplift, sustain and champion Lucy & Yak.
It was designed by Amanda Lobos whose captivating style was a reflection of her experiences as a young black bisexual artist.
Lucy & Yak donated 100% of the profits to 3 brilliant LGBTQIA+ charities; Nutshell, Nai Bhor Sanstha and ParaPride.
They collaborated with queer models, performers and activists who modelled this collection and were part of an interview discussion celebrating pride in 2025.
Yasmin Benoit, who was part of this campaign is a model and activist for the asexual and aromantic community. She has been part of many transformative movements and co-founded International Asexuality Day (April 6).
For me, as someone part of the aromantic and asexual community, seeing Lucy & Yak platform individuals like Yasmin means a lot.
It is a step towards increasing queer representation in media and creating fair opportunities for all.
My Personal Experience with Lucy & Yak Clothing
As someone who has researched and worn many sustainable clothing brands, Lucy & Yak is one of my favourites.
Not only do I love their sustainability accomplishments and their inclusivity, I am obsessed with their unique designs and comfortable styles.
I currently own two Lucy & Yak items and next month I am going to visit their store in Cambridge!
These two items are the:
1. Stevie – Polar Fleece in Delano Check
It is so soft and keeps me really warm in the miserable British weather! I chose the XS size which fits me well but allows me the bagginess I wanted.
I like to wear it loose and baggy with wide leg jeans and love to dress it up by doing matching colourful makeup or a fun hairstyle.
2. Ragan – Cotton Jumpsuit in Black
I chose this in UK 6 petite and this jumpsuit actually fits me which I usually find hard as I am on the shorter side! (For reference I am 5ft 3inch).
It is so comfortable and feels very robust, I like to pair this with platform DocMarten boots, a turtle neck or a stripy top underneath.
These items have become wardrobe staples and I find myself reaching for them often, I also get endless compliments!
