I didn’t want the world to be able to tell me how they feel about this thing I love.”<doc-sep>In a new ad for Calvin Klein, Billie Eilish opens up about her public-facing image, and specifically why she chooses to wear baggy clothes. In the campaign, entitled "I Speak My Truth in #MyCalvins," the featured celebrities open up about personal experiences which have shaped their individual stories. The "Bury a Friend" singer opened up about her fashion choices, and said that she chooses to wear oversized garments because she doesn't want to give anyone else the opportunity to have an opinion about her body. “I never want the world to know everything about me,” she says in the voiceover for the Calvin Klein video. “That’s why I wear big, baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what’s underneath.” Eilish continues: "Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, 'she’s slim-thick,' 'she’s not slim-thick,' 'she’s got a flat ass,' 'she's got a fat ass.'"

The “Bad Guy” singer is famous for her blue hair, oversized designer clothes and quirky, Hot Topic-meets-Louis Vuitton aesthetic. However, there is a deeper reason why Eilish prefers to keep her outfits loose. “I never want the world to know everything about me. I mean, that’s why I wear big baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath, you know?” she explained in a new campaign video for Calvin Klein. “Nobody can be like ‘oh she’s slim-thick, she’s not slim-thick, she got a flat ass, she got a fat ass.’ Nobody can say any of that because they don’t know.” Samantha Burkhart, Eilish’s stylist, previously told Nylon that the singer is “very tomboy-esque” and refuses to wear heels or even platform boots. Seems like that’s not going to change anytime soon.<doc-sep>
Part of the reason Billie Eilish has gotten so big lately is because of her distinct aesthetic. Nobody really makes dark pop at the level she does today, but her clothing style also stands out. Generally, Eilish tends to wear her clothes more baggy and loose, and now she has revealed why she does that. Eilish appears in a new Calvin Klein ad, and in it, she explains that she developed her style in an effort to avoid being sexualized: “I never want the world to know everything about me. I mean, that’s why I wear big baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven’t seen what’s underneath, you know? Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat ass,’ ‘she’s got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know.” This led to fans online commending Eilish for taking control over her image, but also sympathizing with her, as they don’t believe Eilish, who is 17 years old, should live in a world where she needs to have those concerns.
