Fashion has become the pinnacle of today’s topic. Many high fashion designers are still not creating or catering to plus men’s fashion as their counterparts. When viewing the media, you do not see many plus men being styled and wearing colorful looks. Well, I had the opportunity to interview Jonathan who is a plus-size man fashion enthusiast.
