Chloe Elliot is one of the most influential fashion bloggers in the plus size category. Since 2014, when she started her blog, Chloe has inspired other full-figured girls with her fashion looks to love and accept themselves for who they are. She says that in order to be stylish, beautiful and trendy, you don't have to be thin or mask your excess weight. Overweight women can and should boldly wear what they want, as women do by a conventionally "normal" figure.
Two years ago, Chloe wrote an emotional article on the fat fashion industry for The Sun, expressing her concern that body positivity is taking on an odd turn because many full-figured celebrities lose weight over time and are praised for it. Models that were once considered plus size icons lose weight over time, become slim, and society only supports them in this.
In this, Chloe sees a great hypocrisy, when each star who has lost weight is praised, emphasizing how prettier she is compared to what she was before. As if fullness is an obstacle to beauty!
On her blog, Chloe inspires full-bodied women to love fashion without externally imposed restrictions. According to her, the large size of clothes can in no way interfere with being fashionable and stylish, and that all the restrictions are only in the head. Chloe wears tight or short clothes, open dresses, not embarrassed by fat folds and not masking the volume of her body.

You can mini (and not hide your legs under the maxi)
Chloe is wearing short, not afraid to show her legs. This can be a mini dress or a blazer worn as a dress. While the fashion industry dictates women to hide their full legs under skirts and pants.
Dresses and sundresses with thin straps (it's hot!)
Who said that you need to hide massive arms by wearing long sleeves or covering your shoulders with scarves? Chloe wears open summer sundresses with thin straps, choosing both form-fitting models and bright colors.
Belly is not a problem (and no correction is needed)
A large protruding belly is a real problem for many, because the "hourglass" figure has always been the standard of female beauty. For Chloe, this is not a problem, because she wears dresses, skirts and pants that fit her belly, not in the least embarrassed about it.
The belt is just an accessory (not for a thin waist)
Chloe loves belts and ties them on outerwear, trousers, and dresses. After all, the belt is not to make the waist thinner. It's just an accessory, so why not use its styling feature?
Fitness for everyone (not weight loss)
Chloe gets a lot of indignation for her videos and posts in which she is engaged in fitness. Many people do not understand how to treat a woman weighing over 100 kg in Nike branded leggings in training, after which she eats a portion of brownie with Nutella.
But in fact, Chloe is not going to lose weight, but is engaged in fitness to develop endurance and strength. Another break in the pattern that fitness is only for weight loss.
In one of her Instagram posts, Chloe wrote:
“Fat women should not wear white, should not wear anything tight, but also should not wear anything too loose. You can only wear vertical stripes, don't wear bright colors, only wear black. Flat shoes keep your legs short, only wear what makes you slim... I used to believe all this nonsense, and that's exactly what it is - nonsense that you don't need to listen to. Wear what you want. Other people's opinions shouldn't matter to you. "
