Take your Pick: Wear it with Confidence
During the early 2000s, most models seen in magazines and runways fit a certain stereotype that shaped how women viewed themselves. The fashion industry was run by the notion that specific clothes are only for certain body types. Inclusivity was nearly non-existent.
However, times have changed. Fashion is evolving, and with it, the idea that beauty comes in different shapes, forms, and sizes is now embraced by more and more people. For women of all sizes, it’s no longer about fitting into a set of outdated rules but about embracing your style based on how you feel. Whether you love showing off your curves or prefer something loose, fashion is about confidence in comfort and feeling empowered.
Choosing sleeves… or not
Gone are the days when women were advised to hide their “flaws” to feel comfortable. Today, it's all about choosing what makes you feel good, whether you prefer cover up or not.
If you are taking a shot at experimenting with different sleeves, try the Milly Plus Size Cariey Top with Applique Lace Sleeves. This top has see-through sleeves detail, offering the comfort of short sleeves while showing off a bit of skin. It’s the perfect blend of stylish and comfortable, making you feel polished and glamorous without following old conventions.
Flattering the Body
Some would prefer to literally embrace their curves by wearing body-hugging clothes. However, wearing relaxed fits showcasing your style is equally empowering. Dressing up to make you feel good should be your top priority.
Elegance doesn’t always have to mean form-fitting. Shirt dresses, like the Milly Plus Size Ginnie Shirt Dress, can be your best friend. The fit of the dress and the way you style it can flatter your figure the way you want it. You can accessorize the look with a belt to accentuate your waist or wear it as it is for a more relaxed aesthetic.
Beyond the Colors
Colors in clothing are often used to highlight or conceal sections of the body. Experimenting with hues is one of the joys of fashion, so there is no need for anyone to stick to the status quo of limiting themselves to one shade that is “appropriate” for their body. Gone are the days when bright and bold colors were off-limits! Now, bright hues and vibrant prints are seen as symbols of self-expression.

Today’s fashion celebrates the freedom to choose styles that resonate with you—no matter your size. It is about reflecting on who you are and feeling your best. There is no single rule to follow; the key is you. Wear what makes you feel amazing. Besides, that’s what fashion is really all about!
