With a handful of plus-size shopping-friendly options emerging, those on the outside looking may believe that it’s easier than ever to get dressed for plus-size people. In some ways they might be correct—Yes, technically there are a bit more brands that carry some level of extended-sized options. However for larger-bodied personal style enthusiasts, the gap is still gaping and many other problems (lack of in-person retail shopping, increased price points for extended-sized goods, etc) persist. With these issues in mind plus fashion, folks are still and will continue to get dressed and experiment with fashion.
As a plus-size fashion editor, I wanted to try out dressing in some of these trending fashion aesthetics we see growing in popularity on the internet, Tiktok, and Instagram by the day. How difficult is it really to embrace my inner ballerina? What would Wednesday Addams do if she was plus-sized? These are questions I sought to answer as I dug through the online retail world (and my closet) in search of the right pieces to bring these aesthetics to life.
Ahead check out the culmination of that journey as I test out if it’s possible to get dressed in five popular fashion aesthetics as a plus-size person.
