Unbound by Chains

Historically, women have often been typecast in one form or another. While past constraints dictated restrictive and enforced passivity in clothing, we are now making waves in questioning norms and initiating shifts in societal attitudes.

The fashion evolution did not happen overnight; it has been a tiring battle against the constraining stereotypes set for women. It will still be a long way from here, but we know there’s nowhere to go but forward.

Before the Industrial Revolution, women wearing pants were frowned upon. It was seen as being too masculine and aggressive since pants were perceived to be made for working men exclusively because of their durability. When women started joining the workforce, more women started wearing pants, customizing them to be more suited to their taste. Today, strong and independent working women everywhere can rock nice fitting pants like Milly Aireese Relaxed Pants that let them be practical, efficient yet fashionable. 

Though seemingly a small detail, adding functional pockets to women's clothing has been a quiet revolution. This tiny fabric has unlocked a new level of utility, empowering modern women to navigate their lives with greater ease and practicality. Ariella Shift Dress from Milly has pockets that are not merely decorative but genuinely serve their purpose, adding style and utility.

This or that? The magazines we grew up with always presented a strict dichotomy for dressing up as women: are you hyper-feminine or starkly masculine? Today, we know we don’t have to fall under any label. Today, we celebrate the freedom to shift styles with our moods, embracing a personal aesthetic as dynamic as we are. We can choose who we want to be or what we want to wear. And we can shift and change our style to fit our mood any time. Not that’s empowerment.

Society's journey away from size discrimination is a long, ongoing progress. Even if there has been improvements, the battle for true inclusivity is still running. Undoubtedly, we have gained a better respect for the beauty of bodies of all shapes and sizes. Milly's pieces showcase this love for all bodies, allowing individuals to express their unique beauty. Every curve, every line, deserves to be celebrated..

You are in charge of your style.  Women are reclaiming their agency, boldly and wisely asserting themselves in society. They are no longer bound by the chains; it's time to break free from stereotypes and reveal who we truly are within.
