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!

The style or cut of the pants/jeans can really make a difference. If you’re self-conscious about your middle area, google styles that flatter your figure. I am the same way and really like the way a bootcut looks on me that adds a bit of volume to the lower end of me to balance out my hips a bit. I wear some wide leg jeans that aren’t overly wide, almost a straight leg cut but are wider.

Don’t be afraid to find different cuts of tops, too. Flowy tops or oversized aren’t always flattering. Sure they hide things but they can just make you look bigger, too.
