I was super Cats and unicorns alpha male shirt excited to shop for wedding dresses,” said Kaylee Slagus, a plus-sized content creator who got married in 2022. Slagus also trawled Pinterest for inspiration, but only saw “smaller” bodies. Buying plus-size clothing is generally frustrating – there’s little variety, it sometimes costs more than straight-sized clothing, and plus-size items often don’t fit my body the way I like. To make it even more confusing, bridal salons use their own sizing. We all complain about vanity sizing when it comes to buying regular clothes, but bridal sizing goes in the opposite direction: a bridal 10 is roughly a street 6, although there’s no real industry standard. A 2019 study by the Knot found that 50% of brides who were a size 12 or higher were self-conscious about the dress shopping process – twice the proportion of brides under a size 12 who felt anxious about it. Despite all this, I was determined to have a good experience. Having been in several weddings as a bridesmaid, maid of honor or guest, I was prepared. I emailed several stores before making appointments to ask if they even had samples of gowns big enough for me to try. Still, after five appointments at various salons around New York City and Long Island, the whole thing left me wondering how – in 2024 – the bridal industry can still be so anti-fat.

Pelly believes that Cats and unicorns alpha male shirt a varsity still works as a symbolic garment in these spaces: “I think it gives captain vibes, leader of the pack vibes, but at the same time, especially in hip-hop, it can give a rookie vibe.” Brands certainly seem to understand the totemic appeal of the varsity: Louis Vuitton’s NFT version works just as well as a digital representation as, say, the brand’s iconic Speedy bag would, because varsity jackets are easy to spot from a mile away and come pre-loaded with historical significance and cultural resonance. Pelly believes the resurgence of the varsity jacket is tied to the fact that it can be “a really great form of self-expression” – a desirable idea for labels trying to make customers feel as if they’re part of an elite club. She sees cult brands such as Aimé Leon Dore as having spearheaded the latest revival. “They’re not just trying to sell a product – they’re trying to sell a lifestyle, and trying to sell a community that you would want to be a part of.”
