Somewhere between Lizzo twerking to herald in the Proud mom of a class of 2021 graduate shirt and I love this new year in a multicolor bikini and Barbie Ferreira’s character on Euphoria unequivocally declaring that “there’s nothing more powerful than a fat girl who doesn’t give a fuck,” the “fashion rules” prescribed to plus-size customers, which almost always existed to shame our bodies, have been drowned out. As this new era of fat-positive fashion dawns, there’s been a shift among sustainable brands. Not only are they extending their size ranges, but they’re also employing prints and patterns with abandon. In the span of two years, I went from begging brands to make minimalist capsule pieces in plus-sizes to choosing which checkerboard lounge set best fit my closet color story. After years of monochromatic linen, it’s a welcome change.
