Volume is one of those trends that sounds ever so female-friendly in that - unlike pencil skirts, say - it doesn't feel as if you have to have a gastric bypass in order to fit into it.
I am not by any means saying that looking slender is one's goal in life: in fact, most clothes look best on women with curves. Of course you wouldn't like to hear any ripping sound when you have to move freely.
I have got the idea behind this trend '' These clothes allow you to be yourself!! just feel hassle free in them and will make you fashionably weatherproof.''
Volume is not just about dressing up big!! it is about adding volume where it is required and keeping the look in proportion. Think blown up proportion on various garment parts, but not all themed together.
