A couple of interesting facts about this niche industry are that the plus-size male market is worth £1.9bn and predicted to increase to £2.6bn by 2022. 

Secondly, the menswear market is forecast to grow faster than womenswear at 6-8% p.a. Who’d have thought, eh? So that means male models are definitely in demand then!

Beyond standard expectations 

With the demand for plus-size clothing, you don’t need a six-pack or chiselled features to make it as a male model. #BodyPositive, #LoveYourBody and #BodyConfidence have been pushing through social media to break the standard expectations of body size. Men have been more drawn to #brawn and #bigandtall to represent their image and confidence. With the help of fashion retailers welcoming this market, it has allowed the plus-size male population to feel confident, stylish and fashionable. 

Let’s get down to the crunch!

At the forefront of many campaigns across social media, TV, commercial and advertising, plus-size is now THE big thing. It’s no longer taboo to see a full figure on the modelling scene. Big is beautiful, no matter what your gender. We were born to be different and stand out in our unique ways. Life would be boring otherwise!
