Any woman who claims to not have fat-pants is flat out lying. Fat-pants, your go-to-pants, pajama pants, boy pants, grub pants, granny-pants, granny panties: we’ve all got ‘em. Even the size zero wearing Barbie dolls have the drawstring sweats they go to when they crack open the Ben & Jerry’s.
So if we all have them, why aren’t we wearing them? I’ll tell you why - society doesn’t want women to be comfortable! Anti-comfort has become the latest fad as current clothing styles are purposefully tight. Thick denim sticks to our legs ‘til thighs rub with friction and red rashes develop. Spiked heels might deform our feet, but boy oh boy do they hike-up the butt cheeks. Bras show more bust than they support, and low cut shirts chill the skin and deflate our egos. Comfort is fashion sin. Society can’t have a woman at peace. If women love self, then economy collapses: martini sales plummet, makeup conglomerates downsize, and fashion designers lose their power.
So what if we were to rail against this? What if, and I know this is a radical idea; we were to stop letting pant sizes and runway models determine our mood. What if, we were to let ourselves feel the comfort of elasticity?
I want the comfort, so jot this down - you skinny-jeans, designer pushing fashionistas: most of us are regular! Most of us need clothes for life, not a life restricted by designer clothes. So to all the happy-hipped, regular looking, loose-pants-loving, normal, beautiful women out there, I say: “regular looking women unite!” Regular women – let loose. Let a best friend’s loving voice sooth the need for skinny-jeans. Let this blog, for one small moment; soothe the need to be different than you are. Let yourself NOT fit into the skinny jeans and be okay.
