Its a truth universally acknowledged that online shopping can be an absolute nightmare.
What looks good on a model will often look completely different on you – not just thanks to creative styling and Photoshop, but because we usually only get to see clothes on one specific body type: slim.
PrettyLittleThing is finally answering our calls to give us a better depiction of what clothes will actually look like on different bodies.

And people are big fans of the move.

Customers are asking for brands to show clothing worn by models of different skin tones, too.
But the decision is a start, and we applaud PrettyLittleThing for doing something outside the norm.
The more diversity in the fashion retail space, the better. More, please.
