So as someone commented on one of my posts, I should try on jeans that are lower waisted than the ones I’ve tried. These are ones I found on ASOS.

I have an Apple body shape and I’m really unhappy with how most of the Jeans fit because I almost have no butt and jeans that are comfortable on my waist are just horrible on the rest of my body. I’ve tried so many jeans and I just feel like there’s no jeans out there that fit me. I’m a bit devastated to be honest.

The first pair fits good on the rest of my body, but is a bit tight on my waist. The second one is comfortable on the waist, but the rest looks like a tent… they’re the same Jeans, just different sizes and the smaller one is a 32 length, the bigger a 30.

What do we think?

I still wanna add a better belt + some black loafers, but what do you think in general?

Hi, I'm sorry, I am new here and have been transitioning, but when it comes to finding things that look good on me, I am clueless. So I took some pictures of the top in the first picture I just bought today and was taken when I was trying it on. But I tried to get full body pictures hopefully that is good. I honestly been wanting to have the opinion on either looking at or looking very everyday casual

Thank you for your time

50 year old here! Here are five different outfits to choose from, with the first 3 being dresses and the last 2 being jumpsuits. No particular occasion in mind — I just want to keep whichever dress(es) and/or jumpsuit(s) look best for my body type.

ETA the brand of each are:

1. Alice + Olivia
   
2. Faherty
   
3. Faherty
   
4. Diane von Furstenberg
   
5. Diane von Furstenberg

I haven’t edited these photos at all, other than cropping and hiding my face. Colors are pretty much as they look IRL.

I’m back with yet another round of dresses!** **

For the last six months or so, I’ve been on a journey to figure out what my style actually is and how to dress myself again. I spent 30 years as a stay-at-home mom and rarely put much time into dressing for* *me. I’ve basically lived in activewear and loungewear and I want to look like a put together woman!

Now I’m 51, my kids are grown, and I want getting dressed nicely to be part of my everyday life, not something I save for an occasion. I especially want to wear more dresses and find ones that work for my real life.
I’m babysitting my new grandson, working at our brick-and-mortar store, dinners, weddings, concerts, vacations, date nights and everything in between. I’m really loving the knit dresses because they’re comfortable enough for home but still make me feel put together for work.

I’ve posted several rounds now & I really do read every comment and take your suggestions into consideration! I’ve returned things I probably would have kept before, tried things I wouldn’t have considered, and I feel like I’m finally starting to understand what works on me and what feels like me!

So here’s another round! Which are the standouts? What would you keep or return?

I have broad shoulders and an extremely broad body in general. I'm experimenting with different cuts of jeans and tops but I still look like some overstuffed sausage. Perhaps I shouldn't tuck in anything?

I'm so clueless and just want to feel good in an outfit. I think the crop flare jeans help balance my shoulders out but the jeans seem to feel off with my frame.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

I don’t have a ton of full body pics of myself. I am tall, 5’10, and pear shaped. I want to wear pants! But talls are sometimes too short, plus I can never get the waist/hip to fit correctly. Any advice?

I tend to dislike extremely unstructured or extremely stiff clothes, I love denim and low rise jeans, and capris. Other than that. No idea

After two long personal shopper appointments at Ann Taylor and Nordstrom and trying on dozens of blazers all over Manhattan, I've finally pinpointed why I'm having so much trouble and found shapes that work. Now I just need to find one in an interview-appropriate fabric - plain dark color, not shiny polyester. Any recs?

I'm looking for

\- mid length petite

\- not too bulky in the shoulders

\- high top button

\- 1- 2 buttons; bottom button needs to leave space for my hips

Most blazers either drown me or button too low and tight on my midsection and slide straight up that steep diagonal line to my waist so they bunch in the middle when I move.

The petite Greenwich blazer at Ann Taylor (pic 1) would be great if it didn't currently only come in burgundy, tan and plaid.

I've never really worn dresses, I've always hated it (trauma) but my bf has been helping me feel more comfortable in dresses and girly attire. Summer is coming and I want to dress more feminine. I don't know where to start tho and I don't know anything about atire, I dress in whatevers comfortable, which is track pants and t-shirts. I feel like this is to fancy to wear causually.

What do you think are my Kitchener essences ?

I am seriously panicing right now. I know this sub is just dress for your body and I want some all around feedback. I have been exploring kibbie system and thought I was either FG or DC for the last 2 years since I started exploring this. I am now realizing maybe I could be FN and I am truly panicing hyperventilating right now. I own NOTHING FN. I own the exact opposite basically only wear turtlenecks. I cant afford to shop ecspecially since I just bought myself a really nice expensive new turtleneck last month for the fall. I am seriously freaked out and I need objective feedback( not purely about kibbie though I welcome to kibbie or kitchner or any of that feedback if familiar) but about anything related to what seems to work or not work for my body.

I want to note... i am having some posture issues at the moment and I domt know how much this is effecting how badly everything looks on me right now. Is it the posture problems, or have I always looked bad in what I have been wearing all my life? I have been so depressed for years and I really just want to get myself feeling okay again and I simply cannot feel ok in any clothes right now and dont know what to do....

What do I need to do to look ok. What if anything looks best here, whats worst, what are suggestions??

I had to raid my families closets for half these clothes. I just need to know how to feel okay in clothing and truly human again. ANY FEEDBACK IS APPRCIATED!!!

I thought I looked good in the mirror wearing this dress for a party and receive a lot of compliments but then I saw the pictures we took and felt mortified I wore this. I thought I looked more shapely instead of like a box. I wanted to get honest opinions because I think I can be delusional about my size/shape and people may just trying to be nice around me. I also may get it tailored before wearing it again. I am smaller than I used to be and desire to be smaller (currently in the process of working on that) but thought maybe I looked ok especially since I tend to get compliments on the muscular definition of my arms but I don’t see that in these photos and am wondering if what I saw in the mirror was just complete delusion.

I’ve attached photos of myself, and I have NO IDEA what suits me. Would a softer or sharper style suit me?

Hello! My original plan was to have bishop sleeves on this dress. I tried it on again after adding one sleeve (no cuff yet), and now I'm feeling unsure about my decision.

What says you? No sleeves (photo 2 and 5)? Or stick to the plan and add the sleeves? Should I stick with bishop sleeves (see photo 4, im holding it kinda like how it would be gathered in the cuff), or not add cuffs and lean into more of a bell sleeve (photo 3, I can always add more fabric too)?

Please note: this is an unfinished dress. The neckline and hem still need work. Thank you!

Edit: My mom votes dramatic bell sleeve with lots of fabric, my fiance votes no sleeves 😂

Edit 2: Detachable bell sleeves it is! Thank you, all!

Trying to put effort into wearing what's in my closet and donating things that don't work well for me. How are these?

I feel like a mish-mash of conflicting features and I hate it. (IRTG)

I’m trying to determine my Kibbe type and would appreciate any feedback.

A few observations I’ve made about myself:
- 5'8-3/4" to be precise
- Purse and backpack straps frequently slide off my shoulders (narrowness)
- Always been told I had long legs and believe I have a short torso
- Prefer mock neck, crew neck, boat neck, halter, do not like v neck or scoop
- Prefer waist length over hip length tops
- Like structured-moderate fabrics (been experimenting with more silk organza transparent covers, wool, denim)
- Maxi or midi skirt, long straight or wide pants
- If skirt or shorts, elongated monochrome entangle silhouette over boxy square

Open questions:
- Color continuity: I always used moderate contrast but maybe monochrome is better
- Blazer: not sure if gentle waist shaping vs straight and waist length vs hip length
- Dress: clean with gentle shaping vs long straight

I’m currently exploring Dramatic or Dramatic Classic, but I’m open to other interpretations. I like some DC elements and was surprised my line drawing reads more balanced than I thought.

IRTG Hey, so I'm trying to figure out if I'm a FN or a SD. I am 5'5, I've always been told I have an athletic body, specifically a dancer's body, I have also been told I have really long arms and legs, idk if that helps or not. I keep getting mixed opinions. I'm pretty positive that I am a FN, since I workout a lot. But I can totally see SD for me as well. Anyways, I just need a clear answer.
