This month, the search for Nashville plus size retailers leads us to one of Opry Mill’s newest stores, Torrid. Torrid's collection is inspired by and designed to fit the young, stylish, full figured woman at an affordable price.
Having visited Torrid’s website time and time again, I was familiar with the kinds of apparel and accessories they offered and always considered purchasing my clothing there when I felt like investing in an item. In late July, a family friend went shopping out at Opry Mills and she informed me that there was a new store opening called Torrid and she thought I would love it. I thanked her for thinking of me, briefly reminisced about my online shopping experience, and made a note to myself to visit the store.
Less than a month after opening, I walked into Torrid and I was blown away. I was presented with an ideal shopping experience, one of which started as I walked through the door. Looking around at the simplistic floor plan and beautifully merchandised displays, and I knew I was where I was supposed to be. I started on my "new store" routine -walking along the walls, feeling the different materials, eyeing everything up and down, giving it a once a through and then circling back to the beginning to inspect each item.

In order to put less emphasis on a "number", Torrid has a unique way of sizing their clothing. In store they carry sizes 12/14, 16/18, 20/24 but those sizes are labeled as being a "1", "2", or "3" Online you can purchase items up to a size 28, or "4". Torrid is full of trendy looks that are designed to be very versatile for the everyday woman. Articles of clothing that can easily go from a work day to a night on the town are ideal choices for any shopper and this store is full of them. Unlike other plus-size chains, torrid offers a variety of basics intertwined in the same racks with the latest trends. The smart merchandising shows the customer various ways to pair the trends with the basics, which makes being fashionable that much easier. It’s important to understand that these edgy collections are designed to stimulate self-confidence and encourages women to feel sultry, stylish, and irresistible at any size!

I think we can all agree that denim is one of the most difficult pieces of clothing to shop for and Torrid really does make shopping for jeans a breeze. With an entire wall of choices ranging from boot cut, to super skinny and a team of qualified sales associates ready to help you into the right fit, the hassle of buying jeans stops here
Every once in a while I stumble on to something that makes me really excited and this store was certainly one of those things. I still don’t know if I was more thrilled about the belt display or the clearance corner but both are definitely winners in my opinion and so is this store. Look no further then Torrid for fabulous, full figured fashions, here in Nashville!
