Libby Faulkner lost around 50 pounds and initially gravitated towards tighter clothing, though her choices weren’t necessarily fashionable. “I focused on being skinny rather than styling outfits,” she recalls. “I thought, ‘Now I can wear skinny jeans and crop tops.’”

Eventually, she decided to challenge those limits and started experimenting with color and patterns. Similar to other fashion creators on TikTok, she discovered that gaining weight actually improved her style and confidence. In a culture that often equates being thin with beauty, it’s essential to uplift inclusive fashion narratives that embrace all body types.
