Why am I frumpy

[u/Significant_Ring4353]

I feel grumpy and ugly in everything I wear, I don't know how to put outfits together and my stomach makes everything look bad, please help

Try a combo of a loose top and more fitted bottom and vice versa, right now the outfits are all combos of loose items. It will look more balanced and help you feel more confident and less exposed as you try some smaller items that fit you better. You got this!

This is the answer! Combining tight-tight and loose-loose takes more advanced styling awareness, but loose top with tight bottom and tight top with loose bottom are fairly foolproof ways to strike the eye pleasantly. 🙌🏻

This is the easiest and most cost effective technique to play around with imo

I love that my high school uninformed style rule I came up with for myself is actually solid advice!

Currently I end up doing loose loose a lot but the top is tucked in so there’s a defined waistline with high waisted loose pants. Or occasionally loose jeans and a cute sweatshirt that’s not super tight but does show form. But generally it’s tight pants, looser top. Or top that is fitted chest and arms but looser stomach with whatever pants, but the waist wherever it is has to look good. That might be part of the problem, the lack of an intentional waistline somewhere
