Can fat people wear...? is a series that roadtests current trends on a fat body. Of course, the moral of the story is "wear whatever you want", but I'll be sharing how I felt, how I looked and the reactions I received as a chubby girl in the latest trends. Fat is used here as a tongue-in-cheek, yet factual, adjective, rather than a derogatory term and always, always remember "If you like it, wear it".
Pastel pink biker jacket- Dorothy Perkins (now out of stock)
I adore this colour and tend to think it looks quite good on me. The furry collar, when zipped up, gave my neck and jaw a more elegant appearance. However, because I have an insanely short torso, there was too much fabric around my waist and back and, since it's a heavy fabric, it stuck out like a cupcake. When I unzipped the jacket, this wasn't an issue, but it did end up disguising my waist and making me look a bit shapeless. The arms were also too long for my teeny tiny T-rex limbs!
Erm, I had no reaction but, then again, I didn't really have many opportunities to garner reactions. Although I went to the shops, I didn't buy anything so there was nobody to make small talk with. It's almost like people didn't care what I was wearing. Who would have thought?
Wardrobe for sure! I blooming love it and I cannot wait to wear it more now the weather's warming up a little and leaving winter coat season!

ReplyDeleteLOVE this jacket on you! It's a beautiful jacket and you are seriously rocking it!! I'm a shortie and I found the arms on my DP leather jacket too long so I just folded them over a few times! x

You look absolutely gorgeous! I love your jacket :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! And because you can't see your arms it looks like you're just wearing it over your shoulders like fashion bloggers at Fashion Week! :)
ReplyDeleteThe jacket looks great and is a lovely more spring suitable alternative to a traditional black jacket. I always get the problem with the arms being too long as well, It's a little annoying but whatever. xx
