Let’s set the record straight: we’re not interested in hearing your comments about “promoting obesity.” Your faux concern about our health? Not welcome here. We’re tired of hearing that we look “unattractive” or that we “need to cover up.” The hashtag #WhatPlusSizeWomenWear is here to stay—and it’s thriving without your approval.
We stand by the principle of Health at Every Size. Every body is worthy of love, and every body is a bikini body. It’s time to embrace your unique beauty, no matter the size.
Women have taken to social media, tagging #WhatPlusSizeWomenWear to show the world what they choose to wear. This movement is a celebration of body positivity and self-acceptance, demonstrating that we can wear whatever we want—society’s limitations be damned. With over 80,000 posts and growing, this hashtag resonates with plus-size models and everyday women alike, creating a wave of inspiration and empowerment.
Let’s talk about the term “plus size.” Society often attaches a negative connotation to it, but as many women in this movement assert, “plus size” is just a descriptor. It doesn’t define worth or beauty. As influencer @CurvyQueen puts it, “I’m taking back the power of the term ‘plus size’ and using it as what it is: a simple adjective.”
The #WhatPlusSizeWomenWear movement does more than just reclaim language; it dismantles stereotypes about the lives of plus-size individuals. Influencer @FierceAndCurvy, the founder of Curvy Confidence, emphasizes, “This is a peek into our closets, challenging the myths about what we wear, eat, and how we love.” It’s about normalizing the everyday lives of plus-size individuals, showing them living boldly and confidently.
This movement is not limited to glamorous outfits; it’s about real women living real lives. Just this morning, I saw @ChicAndCurvy rocking a stunning wrap dress from a local store. It’s a reminder that confidence comes from within, and we don’t need to conform to anyone’s expectations.
“I wear what speaks to me,” says @FierceAndCurvy. “I refuse to be boxed in by society’s outdated notions of fashion for my size. I make the clothing work for me.” That’s the spirit we need! Every person, regardless of size or shape, should embrace their individuality and wear what makes them feel fabulous.
Want to join the movement? Use the hashtag #WhatPlusSizeWomenWear and tag us. We’d love to see your beautiful outfits and the confidence you exude!
