This blog post is dedicated to all of the fabulous BBW and BHM (Big Beautiful Women and Big Handsome Men)working in tech! We troubleshoot and decode style like no other, and today I want to talk fashion and celebrate us! Wear it Well Wednesday!
People always say if you look good, you feel good. Some of that is true. I'd like to say that I feel good anyway! Lol #blessed
Working in different areas of tech, sometimes long hours and the stress of heavy mental work can lead to an expanded waistline. Some of us are curvy and not so curvy, just because, and enjoy fashion. Let's not discuss how I.T. folks are bombarded with takeout, snacks, and catered food! We'll talk about ways around those things in another post. This one's for those of us who are larger- than- life, body positive, plus-sized, and need style solutions in the now. Women in tech are making great stride, and should not be expected to sacrifice the comfort and femininity of great style if it's their preference. Torrid and Eloquii are my immediate go-to's. Once you've determined your size in-store, you can easily order from them online. In my experience, their sizing charts are true to size. I've been blessed to work in environments that kept business casual dress codes, some casual, and I've had to endure the awkward experience of a uniformed position. I don't know how one can be expected to make a men's styled polo fashionable, but I sure did try! (many cardis, jackets, and crazy socks were involved in this process)
I understand that men grow weary of cookie cutter style as well, so I've pinned some things for y'all! Fellas, if you must polo, Lacoste and Nautica offer some of the best color selections that I've seen. I like that these brands provide a good size range and are also available via discount retailers, and that creates ease of access. Fashion isn't one size fits all, so this blog is going to be a share of what I find fashionable and maybe you'll agree.
Don't sleep on off-season shopping. That means, buy your fall-winter sweaters now. Most labels will deeply discount their fall-winter lines during the summer months. *leaning in close to my screen* Be luxe, but be reasonable and responsible. Fashion is a visual experience, so I'll have to invite you all to visit my Pinterest Board titled The Luxe Tech Style Plus + to see some of my top picks! Fair warning, not all of theses styles are office appropriate. Use good judgement. Technically, I can't shop for you, unless you hire me as your personal shopper. Keep winning this Wednesday and always Wear it Well!!!
