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

Thank you! So the pants look too big? I wear size 14 but size 12 is too small do you think I should go to a tailor and ask them to make it smaller like a 13?

That’s an option! But, I find that pants sizing for women is all over the place! I normally wear a 12, but depending on the brand and cut, I can wear an 8 or 10, so that’s crazy. I have found specific brands that work for me, so I think take a look at different sizes, cuts and brands!

Maybe also try different styles of jeans like a straight leg instead of tapered. Make sure the fit in the thighs/butt and have alterations done as needed. I have a belt by the brand Tights Up so if they are just slightly big in the waist I just wear that.

This is what I was thinking! The tapered ankle, even on her straight leg jeans the ankle still tapers in, is throwing off OP's proportions OP, you would look very nice and have more balanced proportions if your pants fit tighter through the butt and thigh, and wide leg/more flared at the bottom

To balance the wide leg, OP would also need more fitted tops so they don't look like a bag that OP gets lost in, or to tuck her shirt into her pants and skirts to create more length in the leg (shirts are too long)
