3 Clothing Brands for Curvy Women
Refreshed May 15, 2021
Curvy or not, I want you to be healthy and happy with ALL you are. Being healthy and happy comes in all different shapes and sizes. That is the magical part! How boring would it be if we all looked the same? Ughhh. Where would we get our inspiration from? It sounds like a nightmare. 😂😳
Oh, wait. The fashion industry wants everyone to look the same. Women are divided into 2 categories: ‘regular’ sizes 00-12 and ‘plus’ sizes 14 and up. The average American woman is between a size 16 and 18. Read that again.
Soooo are clothing companies telling us that the average American woman ISN’T ‘regular’ or normal. 🤦🏽♀️ First of all, fuck normal. Don’t ever to aspire to be something so lowly and boring. Secondly, ummm hello companies...you aren’t satisfying most American women. Major problem alert.
The media says it loves women with curves only if it's trending. The media loves a Kim K booty, curves, #nomakeup selfies, and tan skin. Then it doesn’t. We are not trends! We are not body parts that can be judged, ridiculed, or praised.
Know that the advertisements promoting body love and curves are only ads. Though the message may be sincere, it is meant to sell you a product. Companies are selling you a lifestyle like ‘feel confident in your curves when you wear this jacket’.
‘Plus size’ is a disturbing phrase, especially when most ‘plus size’ models look like a size 8. Some clothing sites I’ve seen are just sad. Let me be real and tell you that most of the options for curvy women are ugly and few and far between. It’s like brands are telling you to hide. NO! You need to stand out because the world needs you as you are! There are vibrant, gorgeous, curvy women waiting for the chance to shine.
To help inspire your inner fashionista, I picked 3 clothing sites with gorgeous clothes and bold messages!
