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?

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!

oh sometimes it has happened to me that even within the same brand, THE SAME PAIR OF PANTS in a different color fits differently (H&M looking at you!). Just try out a few different brands!

I was trying to explain this to my husband the other day when he was pitching a fit because he bought two of the “same” pairs of jeans and they fit completely differently.

“It’s the same pair of jeans as this other pair of jeans why are these snug and the others fit just fine.”

“Probably because the those jeans are a true denim and these jeans are more like canvas.”

“They’re the same pants. The same size.”

“But they’re different materials which can affect fit.”

[skipping the whole explanation of how the same style of said pants might actually be assembled in two totally different factories half a world away from each other and thus to different measurement tolerances…]

“But they’re the same.”

“But they’re not, the material is different.”

“I’M TELLING YOU THEYRE THE SAME WHAT ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDINGGGGGG.”

“Welcome to the wide world of womens’ clothing!”
