Men Are Plus Sized Too

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!
This unstructured Apolis jacket is featured in their "Personal Shopper"  tab!

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!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
