Why is it fashionable to be skinny




















There have been trend pieces that I end up waiting a year to get in my size — at that point I feel disheartened because I wanted it from the get go, when my thin friends could buy it. Many described the choice to avoid trendy clothing as an avoidance of the criticism they assume it will bring. Historically, size inclusion in fashion moves at a glacial pace. Even for fat women, changing the lens through which we view our bodies takes a momentous amount of unlearning and relearning.

But you have to hope this confidence will extend to also accepting they have the power to lose a few stones, like Georgina, and bounce through life rather than having to waddle.

TV shows about fashion have mostly flopped for the same reason Fashion Week is dying: For so long, the high fashion industry was only relevant to those who were rich, white, and thin.

Like, I look so stupid and people compliment me. When I saw this viral tweet last week, I thought immediately of the TikTok discourse. In popular TV, for example, overweight women were stereotypically portrayed as unintelligent, greedy, and unable to form romantic attachments.

There has also been increasing focus on the health risks associated with being overweight across all media. The effect of the combination of the idealisation of thinness and the denigration of overweight has been the homogenisation of a beauty ideal that is unachievable for the majority of women.

Contemporary Western women are exposed to this thin ideal in almost every form of media — from magazines to TV shows and popular films.

Even more concerning is evidence that the thin ideal is now a global phenomenon , with women in most urban, developed settings — including places like India and China — reporting an idealisation of thinness and a desire to be thinner.

For body image scholars, this is worrying because of the overwhelming evidence that body dissatisfaction is a risk factor for disordered eating, consideration of cosmetic surgery , and poorer psychological well-being in general. However, in the 21st century, encouraging signs that the thin ideal is being challenged have begun to emerge.

In some parts of the developing world, the thin ideal is being questioned and re-negotiated in line with local norms. In Belize in Central America, for example, young women have re-interpreted the thin ideal — allowing it to be more curvy, which is consistent with local norms and body shapes.

In a globalised world, connecting body-positive movements across borders is easier too.
