Not Just a Trend: Why Inclusive Fashion Is a Must & How to Style It at Every Size

Not Just a Trend: Why Inclusive Fashion Is a Must & How to Style It at Every Size

“Why does that top stop at size L?”
 “Why are all the models still one skin tone, one size, one look?”
 “Why do I have to scroll 80 items to find my size... and then it’s sold out?”

We’ve all been there.
Fashion isn’t broken — it was just built for a few.

But now? We’re rebuilding it. Loudly. Boldly. With stretch fabric and zero shame.

Welcome to inclusive fashion in India, where real bodies, real styles, and real stories are finally taking centre stage.

Let’s Get Real: What Even Is Inclusive Fashion?

If you’ve ever had to:

  • Cut a slit in your kurti to breathe 
  • Stitch extra inches to a lehenga you loved but couldn’t zip
  • Ignore an outfit because “it’s not for someone like me”

…then yeah, you already know why inclusive fashion matters. Inclusive fashion = Fashion that fits you, not the other way around.

It means:

  • Sizes that go from XXS to 9XL
  • Gender-neutral fits that aren’t labelled “for men” or “for women”
  • Adaptive clothing for people with disabilities
  • Skin tones, curves, and heights that reflect real people, not ad filters

Real Talk: Ads Got Us Messed Up

Have you noticed?

“Inclusive campaign” with 1 dusky model and 19 airbrushed fair ones.
 Plus-size ranges... that top out at XL.
 Brands that show diversity in ads — but not in actual product listings.

We see through it.

Inclusive fashion in India isn’t a diversity checkbox. It’s a basic need. And in 2025, we’re done being polite about it.

The India-Sized Gap — and How We’re Filling It

India has:

  • High women population
  • A billion skin tones
  • Dozens of body types
  • Millions living with disabilities
  • And an entire Gen Z that doesn’t believe in gender boxes

And yet... 90% of clothing in Indian stores still fits a single stereotype.

But the wave is rising. And guess who’s riding it? Wear ITS YOU. We’re not following the system — we’re rebuilding it.

From Size 0 to 30: How to Style Every Body Like It Belongs (Because It Does)

This isn’t a “hide your tummy” kind of guide.
 This is a “slay at every size” starter pack.

Size 0 to 4 (Petite Powerhouses)

  • Own oversized fits – balance them with snug lowers.
  • Crop tops + wide pants = elite combo
  • Layers > height – go for vests, short jackets, shrugs

Real example: Think Alia Bhatt in a power blazer. Petite but packs punch.

Size 6 to 12 (Mid-Size Magic)

  • Tuck it, belt it, drape it – structure is your bestie.
  • Don’t fear bold prints – especially on coords or wrap dresses
  • Ankle-length pants + heels – instant length

Real example: Like Kritika Khurana (ThatBohoGirl) in a cinched dress + chunky boots.

Size 14 to 30 (Curvy, Not Quite)

  • Wrap dresses + ruched tops – sculpt without struggle
  • High-rise jeans with oversized shirts tucked in = chef’s kiss
  • Monochrome sets make you look 2x taller

Real example: Sakshi Sindwani rocking a lehenga without one damn apology.

Gender-Fluid Fashion Lovers

  • Co-ords, cargo sets, and button-downs — drop the gender, keep the drip
  • Oversized hoodies with skirts or cargo pants
  • Layer with harnesses, vests, jewellery – personal style > labels

Real example: Ranveer Singh meets Rihanna's energy. Unstoppable. Unbothered.

Styling Is About YOU, Not Rules

The only “rule” now is: “If it fits your soul, wear it.”

Because fashion doesn’t belong to size-zero models, filters, or flat stomachs. It belongs to everyone. Including YOU.
