This may come as a surprise to most of my readers—as it was once a surprise to me—but there are plus size men who read Natalie in the City! Whenever I meet plus size men who are familiar with my blog, they always ask why I don’t talk about men’s plus size fashion, and I don’t really have an answer for them. I have always put the topic to the side and labeled it as “someday,” but I think now is a great time for me to start catering toward my male readers—especially with this exciting news.
ASOS, an online British fashion and beauty retailer, has launched a men’s plus size clothing. The ASOS expansion includes T–shirts, jeans, sweats, button-up shirts, and sweaters ranging in sizes (UK) XL-XXXXL. The line also covers a wide range of styles and tastes. Get a first look at some of the pieces below!
ASOS launched its women’s plus size clothing in January 2010. In 2014, ASOS saw a 132% increase in new product arrivals compared to 2013, and the line remains to be widely popular in the plus size community.
The average American woman is now a size 16, and the average waist circumference of the average American man is 39.1 in., which translates to a size XXL. Seeing as most Americans are plus size, designers, brands, and retailers should pay attention to the trends and create garments for men and women that allow them to feel comfortable and fashion forward at any size.
Major kudos, ASOS!
Here is some of my most favorite ASOS plus size clothing for men and women!
