Up until just a few years ago, anyone who required larger than normal sized clothing had very few choices. These people, knowing that they could not fit into standard sized clothing, were forced to shop for their clothes at over-priced mail order companies. Maybe sometimes it was possible to find a few larger sizes on odd racks in department stores, but the choices were far less than appealing. Recently, things have changed quite dramatically as more and more top brand name and designer labels are now available in plus sizes. Instead of having to settle for old-fashioned, ill-fitting clothing, larger people can now find a wide assortment of plus size clothes in shopping malls, local department stores as well as online. The assortment today includes the hottest fashion trends for every season including the latest jeans, sportswear, sweaters, dresses, swimwear and lingerie. It is a known fact that there are millions of people around the world that are considered to be plus sized. Not everyone can fit into the 'normal' sizes and the demand is higher than ever before for clothing that fits larger people. People who are considered to be overweight are faced with discrimination at the workplace and in social circles. People, regardless of how much they weigh, all want to look as good as possible and be accepted by their peers. Everyone enjoys buying and wearing the latest trends, including larger sized individuals. Now, people can easily find plus size clothes at high-end boutiques, at their local shopping centre and on websites that specialise in selling clothing for larger people. There are even children's clothing stores that offer many types of clothes for kids who are overweight. Larger women used to be completely lost when it came time to find formal wear in their sizes. This often resulted in these women cancelling dates and special invitations to go out for an elegant evening. Nowadays, it is very easy to find prom dresses, cocktail dresses, and elegant, flowing gowns in sizes to fit any woman, regardless of her size. Lingerie also used to be impossible to find for large women. Now, there are many websites that sell only sexy undergarments for women who are heavier than average. Men of size also felt discriminated against when it came to clothing. It was nearly unheard of just a few years ago for a large man to locate a fine business suit in his size. Today however, there are formal men's stores that include large sizes in their inventory so that large men no longer have to wear old sports jackets purchased from run-of-the-mill department stores. Instead, they are buying the best looking suits on the market, with the top brand names sewn in the collars. It is estimated that there are well over sixty top name brands of plus size clothes to choose from in the UK today. This is a trend that is welcomed by many and it shows no signs of slowing. Larger size clothing is finally in the mainstream of society. The shops are out in the open, they compete directly with other retailers and business is said to be booming. Spirito di Artigiano offers a wide collection of stylish Italian plus size clothes for women. The collection includes plus size women's trousers and plus size dresses in sizes 14-28. Browse the entire Spirito collection of plus size clothes at the Artigiano website.
