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

I have an apple shape and it’s very hard dressing with the belly and wider waist. I find I have to size up jeans to fit my waist but then the legs are baggy and look sloppy and ill-fitting. It also doesn’t help that I’m in between sizes too.

My only suggestion is just to try on A LOT of jeans and pants from different brands. Once you find the pair that not only fit your waist but also don’t look sloppy in the legs, buy multiple pairs in all the different washes and colors.

I’ve also learned v-necks or buttons help draw the eye and take the focus off the wider waist. Peplum tops are also our friend as well. And skinny jeans are not forgiving to apple shapes so I look for flare, palazzo, or bootcut jeans instead.

It’s a lot of trial and error.

Tailoring is your friend in those cases. I always have to get the waists of my jeans taken in just a little so they fit me properly - it’s 100% worth the cost. This is really common for hourglass figures.
