For years, I’ve watched as some of TV’s most prolific fashionistas have graced our screens to tell us what we should and shouldn’t wear. Tips like: figure-hugging clothes aren’t ‘forgiving’, skinny jeans should only be reserved for skinny women, patterned trousers will widen your hips, and the all too familiar, horizontal stripes will make you look fatter. And if not on TV, the words; ‘flattering’, ‘hide’, and ‘soothe’, have been plastered through the media and across billboards to educate bodies like mine on how to disguise their ‘problem areas’ with clothes.
