What being body positive means to us!

Body positive is not just a term, it is an actual social movement to amplify the voices of marginalized bodies, advocating that all bodies are good bodies that deserve respect, care, and belonging.

However like most social movements it has been subject to much criticism, negativity, misinterpretations etc across social media.

Anyone who supports JOSHSHE or visits our website will conclude that we are a body positive brand because we advocate that no matter your size or shape, feel beautiful and embrace your curves.

This is absolutely amazing and we are so proud to be seen and accepted in such a positive realm.

Quite simply put, body positive to JOSHSHE is about having a positive body image regardless of your size and not letting your negative thoughts about your body get you down or prevent you from wearing what you love.

Being body positive is also about embracing your curves, body acceptance and not limiting yourself and JOSHSHE will continue to inspire you to feel empowered in our designs and most importantly to embrace you!

We also feel it is necessary to dispel the myths that Being body positive means promoting an unhealthy lifestyle or that being body positive means you should not exercise or eat healthily to lose weight.

This is absolutely not the case because firstly everybody should strive for a healthy lifestyle regardless of their bodies and a huge reminder that you can be healthy at any size. 

Secondly, exercising, eating healthily, thinking more positively can never be a negative thing right?

In addition, if for health reasons you have decided to perhaps lose some weight to improve your health, then that in itself is absolutely okay and does not make you any less body positive.

The most important thing about being body positive is that you are happy, healthy, wearing what you love and living your best life!

Lot's of love,
