Plus Model Spotlight: Brittany Cordts’ Top Denim Trend Tips
Plus Model Spotlight: Brittany Cordts’ Top Denim Trend Tips
Plus models know a thing or two about fashion. They are a walking billboard for promoting fashion.
Many plus models have become a fashion inspiration to their fans by documenting their fashion experiences or capturing their outfits of the day on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Plus models are not just these faces that we see on a magazine cover… they are everyday women, just like us. Their job may be to pose in front of the camera but after that photo shoot, they are also wives, mothers, career women, etc.
Twice a month on this blog, we will feature a plus model and share her top trends of the season and tips on how to wear those trends. Just our way of honoring those beautiful and phenomenal everyday women. We’re kicking off this month, which is all about denim at PMM, with a favorite of ours, plus model Brittany Cordts.

How long have you been modeling and where have we seen you?
I have been modeling for the last two years. A few of my most notable experiences along the way would be walking on the runway at Full Figured Fashion Week for Lane Bryant, SwimsuitsforAll, Kiyonna, Sonsi, and Evans (just to name a few) and modeling live on HSN (Home Shopping Network) on a weekly basis where I’ve had the opportunity to model for clothing lines such as Serena Williams, Guiliana Ranchic, Nene Leakes, Shemar Moore, Cookie Johnson, Vince Camuto, and many more. I also had the liberty of being featured in PMM back in June 2013 as their Spotlight Model of the Month.
Describe your style in 3 words:
Classy, Confident, Chic
What are your three favorite designers or retailers?
Forever 21+ is perfect for inexpensive, trendier pieces to spice up my wardrobe. I’ll usually get my staples that I know are going to be the work horses of my wardrobe at Macy’s or Nordstrom.
What are your top 3 favorite denim trends?
Distressed Denim, Denim shirts, Ankle jeans
What are your fashion tips on wearing those trends?
Distressed Denim: I really like the I’m-stylish-without-trying look that distressed denim gives you. I’m all about contradictions in fashion so whether they’re boyfriend jeans or skinnys, I would pair distressed jeans with sleek heels. On top, I would wear a fitted blazer or a solid tee and keep jewelry to a minimum.
Denim Shirts: My denim shirts get so much mileage. I’ll wear them with a floral or leather skirt, over a swimsuit, tucked into darker denim skinny jeans, tied in the front with a maxi skirt, or left open over a tank with shorts or over a summer dress. There’s really no wrong way to wear a denim shirt. You can even button it up all the way and pair with a statement necklace. Denim shirts are so versatile and will be a go-to, staple in your wardrobe. Oh! And I always roll up the sleeves.
Ankle Jeans: Whether they’re cropped or you roll up a favorite pair of jeans, showing a little ankle is subtly sexy. Keep your ankle jeans slim fitting to avoid looking like “high-waters.” I always wear them with fun heels since attention is going to be drawn to your feet. This style is a great way to frame your favorite pair of heels! I often find myself planning my whole outfit around which shoes I want to wear which is probably why I like this look so much. On top, you can pretty much wear anything. I tend to gravitate towards feminine, looser pieces in a chiffon fabric but I’m also a big fan of peplum tops and anything in bright colors.
Thank you Brittany for offering up some great denim fashion tips and trends!

SwimStar All Stars Partnership With Renowned Plus-size Model and Swimsuits For All Ambassador, Denise Bidot
Inclusive Swimwear Brand Collaborates with Prominent Plus-Size Model Denise Bidot to Empower Aspiring Models…
Swimsuits For All, a pioneer in inclusive swimwear, proudly introduces its inaugural SwimStar All Stars campaign in partnership with renowned plus-size model and Swimsuits For All ambassador, Denise Bidot. This collaboration marks a significant milestone, nearly a decade following Denise’s groundbreaking “Beach Body, Not Sorry” campaign with Swimsuits For All in 2015, which showcased unretouched imagery aimed at promoting unapologetic confidence.
Denise Bidot and Swimsuits For All have jointly unveiled the SwimStar All Stars nationwide search, dedicated to discovering emerging talent in the realm of swimsuit modeling. Encouraging aspiring models to share their personal narratives, the initiative aims to inspire women of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes. Following a rigorous selection process, Brittany Wilborn, Camryn Henry, and Sharon Clawson emerged as the chosen winners. In January 2024, these models embarked on a transformative journey to Harbour Island, where they had the unparalleled opportunity to shoot alongside Denise under the expert direction of internationally acclaimed photographer and director, Ben Watts.
Reflecting on the initiative, Denise Bidot remarked, “This was a truly exceptional opportunity to celebrate the diversity of plus-size models and cultivate an atmosphere of support, empowerment, and knowledge sharing. The camaraderie on set was palpable, and I am deeply honored to impart the wisdom and insights I’ve garnered throughout my career. Opportunities like these are scarce for plus-size models in the industry, and it has been a privilege to collaborate with the exceptional team at Swimsuits for All to bring this campaign to fruition.”
The models showcased the latest swimwear offerings from the Swimsuits for All 2024 collection, featuring innovative designs tailored to meet the diverse needs of women, including:
Feel-good Fits: Addressing common concerns such as tummy bulges and fit issues, Swimsuits for All offers a range of fits designed to instill confidence and comfort in every body. Incorporating features like Power Mesh for a smooth, flattering silhouette, and adjustable straps for customizable support, the collection caters to various body types.
Bold Prints & Colors for Summer: The summer swimwear collection boasts vibrant colors and captivating prints, injecting excitement and personality into beach and poolside attire. From vivid neon hues to tropical motifs, the collection encourages self-expression and style experimentation.
Liquid Shine: Introducing Liquid Shine, a striking swim fabrication characterized by a glossy, liquid-like finish, adding an edgy allure to beachwear. Available in multiple silhouettes, including bikinis, Liquid Shine ensures you stand out with confidence.
Bikinis that Suit You Best: The Mix & Match Bikini collection offers a personalized approach to swimwear, allowing individuals to mix and match colors and silhouettes for a bespoke look tailored to their preferences.
Beyond showcasing inclusive swimwear designs, the SwimStar All Stars campaign embodies a celebration of women uplifting one another in an industry often marked by competitiveness. Throughout the week-long shoot, models engaged in one-on-one sessions with Denise, fostering meaningful dialogue about the evolving representation of plus-size bodies in swim and fashion.
Jordan Hauser, Senior Director of E-Commerce & Marketing, expressed, “This campaign transcends conventional notions of body positivity and representation in the swim and fashion industries. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and authenticity in reflecting the diverse experiences of our customer base. We are committed to fostering a movement where women find strength in unity, and we are thrilled to embark on this journey alongside Denise Bidot, one of the industry’s foremost advocates for inclusivity.”
The summer 2024 swimwear collection is now available. For further details about Swimsuits For All and the SwimStar All Stars campaign, please visit www.swimsuitsforall.com.
