During my recent trip to Bangkok with my besties, as we had a blast trying on clothes, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness. One of my friends appeared to feel ashamed about dressing up and trying on outfits that accentuated her body shape more prominently.
She expressed concerns about potential side-eye glances or whispers that might arise if she dresses a bit differently or elegantly. Hence, her consistent choice in purchases leans towards loose-fitting outfits.
In a world where fashion feels like a tough test, it's almost as if only those who fit certain stereotypes - slim, tall, and model-like - are considered worthy of truly expressing themselves through fashion.
But here's the deal:
Nobody should be deprived of the joy of playing around with style, makeup, and celebrating their individuality because of what others might think.
Real style is all about confidently showcasing who we are. The most beautiful thing you can wear is self-assurance and smiles.
