Inclusive Wearabouts
If you talk, walk, eat, and breathe fashion, you’d know just by a simple scroll, or window shopping, that fashion worships at the altar of small bodies. For the 'woke generation,' the concept of inclusivity is apparently still hitting the snooze button.
Curvy girls not only have to endure the side-eyes from the snooty gang, but also face the existential despair of brands that cap their sizes at L. And let’s not forget the delightful price hike, that kicks in, once you dare to surpass the sacred L. Apparently, confidence comes at a premium.
Fast fashion lacks depth in inclusivity, offering everything in either black or white. Enter homegrown labels, with their fifty shades of inclusivity. Style isn’t defined by a measuring tape, and some brands truly prove this.
While fast fashion giants churn out identical clothes faster than you can say 'carbon footprint,' these savvy upstarts are shaking things up with inclusive sizing, and authentic representation. Prioritizing body positivity and sustainable practices, they stand out in a sea of sameness. Who wants another cookie-cutter outfit, when you can have a unique piece that celebrates you? (yk we’re right)
Instead of models who look like they subsist solely on air and Instagram likes, they showcase real, diverse bodies. These brands also champion sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and ethical production methods. With limited edition collections, that scream quality over quantity, they turn shoppers head over heels.
Now, let’s get to the best part! How often do you find yourself stumped when asked about an inclusive homegrown brand? [caught in 4k ;)]
