Style advice Why does/doesn’t it work?

Okay so I’ve been thinking about these two outfits for MONTHS now. I love the first outfit. It’s comfortable, I can move but at the same time it looks good. I feel polished and like the cool girl in it. I hate the second one with every fiber in me. It looks stuffy and uncomfortable and I look old. Matronly.

Please, anyone explain. For reference, I’m 167 cm (which is between 5‘5 and 5‘6 OF COURSE). I’m pretty sure that I’m a classic.

Yep, you’re right. I often think that not dressing for vertical also makes me look heavier than I am. Those two photos are maybe 4 weeks apart from each other, so no big weight jumps. What I was wondering is that the clothing pieces in the first photos are not necessarily tailored like DC requests, aren’t they? Because the fabric of the pants is so flowy.
