... Read moreAs someone who has embraced the plus size alt fashion scene, I can personally attest to the empowering feeling that comes with owning your style regardless of mainstream norms. Choosing unique, alternative clothing that enhances your silhouette while reflecting your personality is both an art and a journey. When diving into alt fashion as a plus size individual, comfort and confidence go hand in hand. Fabrics that stretch, breathe, and maintain shape are key. Accessories, from bold jewelry to eye-catching shoes, can elevate any look while making a statement. I've found that layering pieces, such as fishnet tops or oversized jackets, not only add depth but also create flattering lines that celebrate curves. A great tip is to experiment with contrast—pair darker shades with pops of vibrant colors or explore patterns that complement your body shape. Don't shy away from vintage shops or DIY projects; these avenues often hold treasures that can redefine your wardrobe. Remember, fashion is self-expression, and the alt aesthetic is flexible to personal flair. Regarding those moments when your fashion might feel 'broken' or 'beaten down,' as some words suggest, resilience in style is what makes the alt community so vibrant. Every outfit tells a story, including the imperfect, the edgy, and the bold. Keep pushing boundaries and embracing what makes your style distinct and unapologetically you.

There are so many things that I honestly thought I couldn’t do being the size I am… I used to tell myself that certain clothes, tattoos, etc would look better if I was thinner. I spent so much time hating my body and thinking it was stopping me from so many things, when really I was the one

Plus Size Alt Style Evolution 😱🖤⛓️
Listen, I started out as a typical emo/goth/scene kid (yes I switched between them all). When I went to ART SCHOOL I thought “new start, new style, let’s just blend in”. Boy did that not work. I felt so unlike myself it was crazy. I lightened my hair, wore more color and just overall was not happy.
