FREEDOM IS YOUR SUPERPOWER
How one iconic Canadian brand is reimagining plus-size fashion.
FASHION AND FREEDOM SHOULD BE SYNONYMOUS. That’s the revolutionary idea behind PENN., a one-stop shop for head-to-toe plus-size style. Formerly known as Penningtons, PENN. carries style-forward closet essentials in sizes from 14 to 32. As a leading authority in size-inclusive outfitting, PENN. offers you pieces that heighten your self-expression, never hinder it. Whether you’re in search of confidence-boosting workwear or weekend-ready looks that embody an effortless vibe (not to mention a highly curated array of activewear, swimwear and accessories), PENN. is your fashion destination for this season and beyond.
The Montreal-based brand’s latest campaign, “Freedom Is Your Superpower,” stakes an important claim in the style space: that it’s possible to wear exactly what you want and not just accept but also love your body in it. The campaign stars three fashion superheroes—television personality and style expert Meredith Shaw, content creator GLAMZILLA and choreographer and creative director Mel Charlot—who are proving that you can find your perfect outfit every time. Bolstered by its #PENNGals community—an online collective of strong women who come together to support, uplift and advocate for one another—PENN. is primed to help you always feel like your freest self.
No matter where you’re headed next, there’s a fashion solution for you—that’s why PENN. offers free personal styling sessions and bra-fitting services at all store locations. PENN.’s certified stylists are here to give you fit and fashion advice for where you want to go and how you want to look. Read on for the top five fall fashion trends we’re eyeing.
TEXTURAL COLLISION What’s the easiest way to lean into the fall season style-wise? Textural contrast. For instance, take a workday-worthy pairing: a graphic lace blouse grounded by a vegan-leather midiskirt; it’s a nine-to-five win when topped with a wool blazer.
COAT OF ARMS Weekend plans have never looked so chic than when you’re sporting a statement-making coat. Its neutral print makes for easy pairing with perfect-fitting jeans and a half-tucked-in cardi.
SUIT YOURSELF If you’ve never pictured yourself in slick suiting, it’s time to think again. PENN.’s contemporary take on the buttoned-up trend—plaid trousers, a crisp white blouse and a faux-leather jacket to top it all off—promises to deliver the cool factor in spades.
LOTS OF LAYERS As the crisp weather creeps in, generous layering becomes a sartorial necessity; good thing it’s one of the season’s most sought-after trends. A cardigan-blazertrench-coat combination delivers style and (cold-weatherproof ) substance.
GO FOR GREEN The colour on everyone’s mood boards this season? Emerald green. This rich jewel tone is an undeniable stunner on its own, but we also love it as an accent shade for those who are colour shy.
