Case study
The fashion industry is gradually shifting towards
inclusivity in response to the growing plus-size market.
While traditional beauty standards have long promoted
unrealistic ideals, brands like Torrid are challenging
these norms by empowering plus-size women through
better representation and diverse clothing options.
The plus-size market, which accounts for nearly 19% of
U.S. women’s apparel sales, remains underserved, but
companies are beginning to recognize its potential.
Major retailers such as H&M, Target, and Nordstrom are
expanding their offerings, reflecting a broader societal
shift toward body positivity.
However, true inclusivity will only be achieved when
plus-size fashion is no longer seen as a separate
category.
Question 1
Explain the success that Torrid has experienced in
relation to self-concept, self-esteem, and self-
consciousness. How can the plus-size industry leverage
what we know about consumer behavior to address self-
esteem issues? Be sure to address the unique challenges
facing plus-size brands in today’s marketplace.
Self-Concept
ANSWER
Consumers choose products based on how they
align with their identity. Torrid empowers plus-
size women to "love their bodies," reflecting a
shift from insecurity to self-empowerment.
Self-Esteem
Campaigns like #TheseCurves create a space
where women feel seen, boosting self-esteem
and fostering a positive self-image.
Self-Consciousness:
Torrid combats size exclusion by offering stylish,
well-fitting designs that boost confidence in
plus-size women.
