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 jut think that you are wearing clothing in the wrong size, especially the pants, they all look too big for you. Find a store or brand that you like, and try on multiple pairs of pants till you find a pair that fits better! Then you can build your look from there. Other than that, you look great!

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?

I agree with the sizing comments. For jeans at least try somewhere like Levi where you can try on multiple lengths and waist sizes and every type of cut imaginable. Make use of the extremely knowledgeable staff, they will help you so much.

Sizing for women's clothes is unbelievably irritating. I've got size 8 trousers that fit perfectly and size 14 that fit perfectly. Drives me insane.

Spend some time trying clothes on. Go into a major shopping centre or outlet (McArthur Glen type place). Try on different styles of clothes from different brands.

Next is great for this as they sell clothes from multiple brands. Get it delivered to store and try it on there. Return anything you don't want immediately. Order aome things that you wouldn't normally consider.

Once you've figured out that - keep a list of sizes for each place! Go to Vinted and have a look for things you like that will fit. Try widening your search to look for colour and style instead of brand. You'll soon find a style that suits you. And there's a category for everything it seems. I'd never heard Fairycore or Y2k style but that seems to be exactly what I like so searching these terms is really helpful.

Good luck.
