Rich shades of purple and burgundy blend together in an animal print. A mix of leopard spots and tiger-esque stripes keep the look intense and exciting.

For far too long plus size women have had to beg, borrow, and steal to be represented in a culture that prizes being thin and fitting a certain standard of beauty above all else. I’m happy to see that things are finally (slowly, but finally) coming around. There are entire television shows devoted to plus size women and men and even some that don’t focus on the characters losing weight (i.e. More to Love). But still, when it comes to creating the cutting edge of fashion in plus sizes, the industry has a long way to go. However, there are companies making steps in the right direction.
