Yes, they are! We know it, they know it! And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Some women like a guy with a little more to him than some! Hey, it works both ways wouldn't you agree?! What I don't hear or seen mentioned often though are Plus Sized Men and especially nothing about Plus Sized Men's Fashion...until now curvy divas!
Larger sized men are not even referred to as "Plus Sized" That's reserved for us women! Men are called "Big and Tall"! I read with interest an article in the New York Times recently about fashion for the more portly men! According to the New York Times, men who want fashionable plus sized clothing turn to GQ or to valetmag.com for their style inspiration! There's also another plus sized website for men, chubstr.com which was founded by Bruce Sturgell in 2011. Mr. Sturgell started the website much the same way that many websites for plus sized divas were started, because there were none, or hardly any around! His clients are usually the men, or the women who shop for their men! He offers a lot of insights, interviews and resources! I even see some plus size divas mentioned!
On Valetmag's website style and fashion abounds!
Under their "Edit" tab they have a "Morning Report" all about style!
You know what I say to that curvy divas? FABULOUS! Whether the fashion world wants to admit it or not, it's great to be fabulous, beefy, and curvy! We have needs and our needs are being met by like-minded fashion-savvy & fashionistas, male and female out there!
Go to the websites I listed above, take a look around, and see what they have to offer for the guy in your life! You can go to the link below to read the New York Times article!
