Writer Highlights Fault in Society as Skinny and Fat Women in Exact Same Shorts Are Treated Completely Differently
The same outfit, two women of different sizes, and a huge conversation about why society deems one fashionable and the other a major fashion violation.
Writer and activist Rayne Fisher-Quann recently stumbled across a tweet featuring a photo we've all probably seen 100 times. It depicts an overweight couple outdoors, wearing denim shorts and white t-shirts tucked in, with the image cropped so we cannot see their faces.
The tweet Fisher-Quann originally found mocked the individuals' weight and fashion choices, garnering over 100,000 likes! Fisher-Quann lamented that she couldn't believe how harsh people were being and noted that if a popular model like Bella or Gigi Hadid wore this exact outfit, people would praise it and call it '80s-inspired inspo.'
So why are we like this? As a society, why do we praise the outfit on someone skinny but recoil when the same thing is worn by someone we deem 'fat'?
Check out Fisher-Quann's chain of tweets on the topic below.
Fisher-Quann began:
Fisher-Quann was correct. Other Twitter users shared a photo of one of the Hadid sisters in the exact same outfit, explaining it had garnered a lot of positive attention.
The photo, taken of Gigi Hadid in New York City, appeared on the popular fashion blog 'Stylecaster' and was titled, "Did Gigi Hadid Just Make Bermuda Shorts … Happen?"
