Reasons Why Plus-Size Fashion is the Futureof Stylishness
Plus size fashion is now undeniably the new trend. Remember the days when the fashion media and magazines were all about dressing up slender –to thin –and eventually anorexic models? Well, we do too. Looking at how much better and “more realistic” the world has become since then is really refreshing.Absolutely love it!
At least these days, thanks to thick-sized models, the girl in the magazine does indeed look like the girl in the magazine. Chances are the same will probably start happening for men too. Let’s face it, the average guy doesn’t go around with six-pack abs and highly toned or jacked muscles. He’s most probably overweight with a beer belly from the “real 6 pack,” playing video games all day, and eating too many burgers and fries. That’s why we predict plus-size fashion is going to be the future of stylishness. Here are 3 reasons why.
Unsurprisingly, the number of plus-size fashion consumers is increasing rapidly. In 2021, Forbes reported that more than 2/3 of American women are plus-size consumers by most estimates. Globally,statistics indicate that the world’s plus size clothing market in 2023 was approximately 288 billion U.S. dollars. This estimation is projected to increase over the next decade, surpassing 500 billion dollars in 2033.
Let’s face it, the numbers of “real-sized” people will continue to increase. After all, the statistics already indicate that the majority of females are already plus sized. So it only makes sense for brands to start catering to them –it will mean more customers! That is almost certain to be the case with the unrealistically skinny models increasingly disappearing from our TVs and magazine covers.
Whether due to pressure or change with the times, it seems even the largest and most famous fashion brands are becoming more size-inclusive. You know something big is happening when a leading brand like Versace features plus-size models on the runway. In 2021, Versace featured its very first plus-sized models. Dolce & Gabbana and Erdem also extended their sizing ranges in the past few years.
With notable changes like this happening among the leading brands, its clear to see that the future of fashion will have to change. It will no longer only be focusing on only the smaller sized bodies.
Of course, there is still some resistance to this change within the fashion world. However, inclusivity is most likely to win this battle in the long run. Particularly because the majority of people are on the ‘bigger side of things.’ So brands will soon start to get ‘the bigger picture.’
In case you didn’t get the memo, the old days of unattractive and oversized clothes are loooong gone! Plus-size clothing is now extremely chic, trendy, and stylish baby! Fashion designers have seen theopportunity and are now paying specific attention to the needs and desires of ‘real-sized’ consumers. It is no longer shocking to find breathtaking and fabulous-looking fashion pieces in an assortment of sizes. This is the new trend and it is only going to explode into the future.

Putting it all Together
The future of fashion and style will be very different from the way it was in the past.

The plus-size fashion market will undoubtedly benefit from this transformation in stylishness.
This will largely be the case due to the huge population of average and above-average-sized consumers. It will also be necessitated by the fact that clothing brands are becoming more inclusive. As well as the fact that fashion designers and plus-size models are bringing their A-game.
