Every body is a good body, suitable for whatever clothing suits your fancy. No matter what social media or magazines might tell you, there is no ideal body type—just bodies. If you need reminding, take a look at the series Style Not Size by Denise Mercedes and Maria Castellanos. The duo snaps photos and makes videos, each wearing the same outfit on two different body types. Both look fabulous donning the selected styles.
Size standards might make some people feel like certain clothes won’t look good on them—that maybe they shouldn’t even try. Style Not Size is empowering because Mercedes and Castellanos are proof that nothing is off-limits. Each woman rocks their given outfit, which ranges from casual tops to cutout dresses to see-through beach frocks. There might be items in the series that restrictive beauty standards say certain folks can’t wear, but Mercedes and Castellanos don’t care. They show that fashion should be fun and allow us to express ourselves and our personality, rather than hiding or covering up our perceived flaws.
Since we first featured Style Not Size in 2020, the series has continued to grow from there. Follow Mercedes and Castellanos on Instagram to see what they’re wearing together next and celebrate how wonderfully different we all are.
The series Style Not Size is the work of two friends, Denise Mercedes and Maria Castellanos.
