WTF[ashion] - Must follow hashtags on Instagram if you’re an ‘F’ (plus) size

You don’t have to be the perfect size to be a fashionista. Gone are the days when plus size attracted a conservative look. Tired of being called ‘Fat’? Embarrassed rather? You, absolutely don’t need to be! So what if you’re a plus size? So, what you’ve got curves? You don’t have to follow the norm and only wear what others generally think what a plus size woman should wear. The idea is to ‘feel good’ about your body and flaunt what you wear.

A popular ‘plus size’ fashion blogger from L.A., Simone Mariposa, shows the world that it’s absolutely fabulous being a plus size. She used the hashtag #WeWearWhatWeWant. And this has taken the social media platform by storm. The best thing is that she’s not attracted even a single troll for the hashtag. In fact, many other ‘F’ sized women have now added their voices to Simone’s.

It all started with a couple of simple posts by Mariposa: “I didn’t ask you for your opinion. #WeWearWhatWeWant.” And “My body. My wardrobe. My choice.

And soon after she published this post, many others followed by adding in their own hashtags such as:

                                                      

#fatgirlvibes #deadinsideeyes #goldenconfidence #curveloving #celebratemysize #curves #curvy #curvyfashionista #curvygirl #honormycurves #plussize #plussizefashion #psfashion #stylehasnosize #iamhealthy #plusisequal #selflove #iloveme #fat #freetobeme #mylifemyway

These hashtags are an indication that the fashion industry has started showing respect to the plus size women. The long struggle to appropriately meet the demands of plus-size shoppers is now coming to an end. High-end designers like GavinRajah have included plus-size fashion in their range of clothing making it trendier and giving it the attention it deserves. Rajah mentions, “Females have their own path when it comes to their bodies and the fashion is all about respecting who they are. Who cares [about the size]? What’s important is how you feel about yourself and fashion is really beyond sizes and shapes. It’s about character and personality.”

The role of fashion is to help people live comfortably in the bodies they have and build a unique attitude around it. Follow Gavin Rajah’s blog for the latest tips and trends in fashion across size ranges. Visit gavinrajah.com to find out more about his amazing creations.
