Women come in all shapes and sizes, and bikinis should, too! Thus the hashtag #Fatkini--a new nickname for a bikini for plus-size women--has been entering the sphere of Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr. Women everywhere have been posting pictures of themselves looking gorgeous in their bikinis, even if they're not 5'8" and 130 pounds. The social media campaign is intended to prove that plus-size women can too look fab in a bikini and to push for more plus-size swimsuits in stores, according to The Independent.
The trend is supposedly inspired by plus-size blogger Gabi Fresh, who calls regularly for better clothing options in plus sizes and who has just launched a three-year partnership with swimsuitsforall to design some amazing plus-size bathing suits. These women are on a quest to stop fat-shaming and give plus-size girls some smokin' swimwear, and it seems like nothing can stop them!
