Plus Size Clothing Carried in American Eagle, GAP Co,Forever 21, and other fashion stores.
The Issue
Hello,
My name is Kobe Brown and I am an 18 year old living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I weigh 291 pounds and I am 5'10. I don't really think about my weight sometimes but my recent relationships with clothing stores has forced me into a negative space that I am sure many other plus size men face. I am going off to college soon and any college student will tell you that one of the best aspect of college is a new start. A new start involves new clothes, and who doesn't enjoy shopping! I am sad to say that this hasn't been the case for me. Looking for clothes at stores like American Eagle, H&M, Forever 21, and Gap corporations can be pretty difficult because they don't carry plus sizes in stores. old Navy does offer a plus size section but it is only available online. Why should plus size people be forced out of a social activity. They are just as worthy as anyone. Shopping for clothes should be an activity for everyone. Women clothing markets are making steps (tiny ones) in including plus size bodies, but the mens clothing market is just slim to none. This could change. I would love for boys who are bigger sizes be able to feel good in their skin and look good to! I could see maybe not having these sizes pre 21 century, but this is 2016 with people living in all shapes and forms. If you think that these popular stores should carry plus size please help out and sign! To make plus size bodies all over the world feel welcomed would be the best Christmas present ever!
Lets make the world a more welcoming place one thread at a time!
