Shopping for plus-size clothing can be quite the challenge, particularly when most online retailers showcase their garments exclusively on slender models. This often leaves many shoppers wondering how items will fit their unique body types. Fortunately, UK-based online store Chic Styles has introduced an innovative solution to this dilemma.
For their holiday campaign, Chic Styles collaborated with influencer Mia Thompson to feature a range of outfits modeled not only by Thompson but also by women of various sizes. In many instances, the models are displayed side-by-side, giving shoppers a clear view of how different styles translate across diverse body shapes.
Take, for example, a stunning backless bodycon dress that looks fantastic on all the models. The visual evidence makes it easy to imagine this dress under the holiday tree. Similarly, the shimmering cowl neck dress has received rave reviews, with its flattering fit showcased on various figures.
If you’re not already considering this eye-catching cut-out sequin one-shoulder dress for your Christmas list, you should definitely add it immediately. Knowing that it looks fabulous on multiple body types makes it an obvious choice for any festive gathering. The same goes for a sequin blazer dress, which promises to be a hit for events into 2024 and beyond.
For those in search of something shorter and festive with tassels for New Year celebrations, Chic Styles has that covered, with ample photographic proof of its appeal across all body types.
Social media users have been quick to express their approval, celebrating the inclusion of not just plus-size women, but also women of color representing nearly all looks in the collection. This simple yet impactful change could encourage more retailers to adopt a similar approach, especially those who offer plus sizes.
This shift in showcasing clothing can make shopping more enjoyable for everyone.
