Plus-Size Streetstyle Resources

Sometimes its nice to see clothing worn by real people out in the real world. Seeing things in stores and on celebs/models is nice but nothing compares to seeing actual people wearing the outfits, there is just something a little bit more personal about seeing how normal folk put together their clothes, it can be quite the catalyst for creativity. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone wearing something on the street who has influenced me. A constant stream of impressive street style is one of the great perks of city life but not everyone lives in NY/Paris/Milan/Tokyo/Helsinki, etc. and sometimes it can be hard to find images of people outside of the glossy pages of a magazine.

As such I've put together a list of my favorite streetstyle destinations on the web with special love for those that show women & men of different sizes.


Wardrobe Remix, The Sartorialist, HelLooks


The Fashion Spot Plus Size Streetstyle Thread: The Fashion Spot knows streetstyle, they have a whole subforum dedicated to just about every kind of streetstyle around the world from scene kids to couture dandys they have got it covered. The Plus Size thread is devoted entirely to girls and boys with curves and showcases the best of fashion on bodies ranging from small to large.

Fatshionista Flickr: The Fatshionista Flickr is the all photo version of its Livejournal cousin Fatshionista LJ. The members vary in styles and size so whatever "look" you prefer from preppy to punk it is here.

Wardrobe Remix: With over two thousand members there is something for everyone. All the latest trends are here and before they even have a chance to become trends. Members come in all sizes male and female and the clothing commmentary lets you know just where they found their coveted items.

Hel Looks: Helsinki is clearly the most fashionable place on earth. HelLooks has some of the most interesting fashion combinations I have ever encountered all in one place.

The Sartorialist: I don't think you can do a streetstyle post without mentioning The Sartorialist. He's the undisputed king of the genre and on his site you will see people of every age, gender, race and size dressed to the nines. His eye for fashion in incredible, whether he's making note of unexpected pocket square folding techniques or covering the latest store opening, it is always entertaining.

What are your favorite streetstyle websites / resources?
