If you are a size 20 and about to wear over the knee socks with shorts, a tartan cinched jacket or any of the season's trends for that matter, think again. The result will probably be laughable. Because these clothes have not been designed for you.
All current fashions are made for slim bodies.
A lot of designers agree to say that most clothes hang better on thinner people. It's all about flowy materials and suggestive draping. It's harder to work with curvy shapes than lean, straight ones.
The only way to have fat look fab would be to change the design process of clothes.
Figures are more important than we think: it might be more beneficial to have alternative fashion brands focusing on bigger body shapes.
But it also would mean the emergence of a "fat" fashion, opposed to mainstream fashion. No one is quite sure if such a thing would work, and how much outrage in the chubby ranks it would cause.
I believe everyone has the right to have great clothes, but the best way is probably to go to the gym and reach down to a size 14 or under.
Body shape ideals change constantly (think of chubby Marylin Monroe and Twiggy) and thin isn't necessarily size zero and outrageous. If thin is in, why not flow with it.
All depends if you would rather buy crisps or clothes.
