I’m a size 14 fashion editor but industry makes me feel XL – I’ve been brainwashed to think skinny equals stylish I MAY by a size 14 but the fashion industry makes me feel like an XL – and I’ve had enough.
I’m a size 14, one size under the UK average of a 16, and yet I feel like I’m ginormous.
Inspired by them, I plucked up the courage to start posting my own outfit videos on TikTok last year, but I constantly feel like what I’m wearing doesn’t look as good on me as on those who are skinnier.
There’s also no blanket size book that brands adhere to, so I could go into one shop and fit comfortably into a size 14 top and walk into the store next door and be a 16.
Right now, skinny chic extends beyond fashion, from the women on Love Island: All Stars to A-listers such as Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Nicole Kidman on the Golden Globes red carpet.
