Simone Biles can’t take it anymore. She has had enough. She took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a new angst-filled tweet. Standing at 4 feet 8 inches or 142 cm tall, Biles is indeed much smaller than the average population. Further, she weighs around 47 kg or 103 pounds. So, is it surprising when she tweeted, “IM SICK & TIRED OF NOTHING FITTING……… please send me petite stores to shop at”?

Now being petite has never been a hindrance in her career. If anything, it has led her to win 23 world championship gold medals. But the apparel stores don’t seem to be making clothes to fit her size. This situation stands in complete contrast to the trendy and fitting designs she sports whenever she goes out to compete.

What made Simone Biles look toward her fans for wardrobe suggestions?

Simone Biles made frequent tours to Wisconsin to watch the NFL matches of her husband, Jonathan Owens. While the Green Bay Packers fans used to loudly cheer for their teams, Biles found her support dwindling because of her clothing. The Texas native was definitely not used to such cold weather unless it was time for Christmas bells. She was freezing, and this was also visible in the wardrobe choices she made for the football matches. This was picked up by her fans and also the Green Bay Packers fandom who came to Biles’ aid. 

Her new Wisconsin family gave her loads of clothing, layering, as well as styling suggestions. Moreover, Simone Biles also received great advice on where to acquire these garments and which shops would serve her the best. Her fans had saved the day!
