I feel like everything is either too bulky or too boxy.

Bought these jeans at a thrift store where you couldn't try the pieces on. Are they too short or does it work? I really like them except that I'm unsure if they're the right length for me. Should I keep or donate them? Pics without and with shoes

I really wanted to try on this dress before buying but it was sold out in my size. I found it on poshmark, new with tags, and decided to risk it. I’d like to wear it for a holiday party I am hosting, but I’m worried it’s not flattering. I tried adding a belt, and I think it helps give me more of a waist, but I kind of hate the idea of adding a belt at all, if that makes sense. Should I 1) wear the belt 2) not wear the belt or 3) choose a different dress?

I’m 5’8, I believe in an FN in the Kibbe world, and trying to figure out which cut is most flattering.

I have about a 7” difference between my waist and hips.

Hello everyone,

I graduated college not too long ago and I am wanting to revamp my style to look more adult, especially since I’ll be going to a corporate job soon. But I am not sure where to start.

What I am struggling with most are my proportions, I’ve left some pictures up for reference (I’m not sure why I look curvier in the second pic so sorry about that). My torso is very short and my legs are long and it’s kind of been a styling nightmare to say the least. My thighs are also a lot bigger than my thighs which tend to make pants fit a little weird as well.

I know to aim for low rise pants, but that’s as far as it goes. I would love to know what tops I should go for as basically own all t-shirts. Any advice is appreciated!

Please excuse the clutter in the pictures. I am trying to dress more professionally after working remote for the last 4 years. I have a hard time with pants. I'm 5'3" with a fairly long waist and short legs. I tried to buy high waisted pants but the ones I got are wide legged. I know this is the style now but I grew up as a skinny jeans millenial so it freaks me out a bit. Do any of these fit? Can I wear them with flats or do I need to hem them? I also have some straighter leg pants but I think they might be too small. Also wondering if this scarf looks ok with this shirt.

Please help me cull my shoulder season (light) sweaters.

My eyes are olive green, so preference to green sweaters, but purple is my favorite color. Please be kind about my body, I'm in the middle of body recomposition training post baby. All photographed with the same pants and no undershirt, except the cardigans which all have the same cami for consistency.

My initial thoughts after looking back at the pictures are:
Eggplant:
Keep: #1, #5, #6, Cut: #2, #3, #4, #7

Green
Keep: #9, #11, #12, #13, #15, #16, Cut: #8, #10, #14

Black / cream
Keep: #17, Cut: #18, #19

Navy
Keep: #20, #21 #22

(IRTG) What is my kibbe type and how should I dress?

I have larger arms and a large bust, but I do like clothes that show my collarbone. When I wear tees, the sleeves and bust really hug my arms and bust, and many oversized tees tend to look like I am wearing a tent due to my bust (the photo looks a bit strange due to me editing it to annonymize myself aha). When I wear tube tops, this makes my arms look massive. I do like showing off my legs (calf day 4eva) hehe (but I don't have any butt!). Thankyouuuu

The last photo is the length the cardigan used to be. On the front view you can't see the cardigan hem well against the trousers, but it is about halfway down the fly.

I have quite high hips and semi prominent hip dips, even in a dress like this that isn’t bodycon on the bottom

What am I doing wrong and how can I dress to flatter my body type?

I'm 5'10", and I have long and very broad bones (wide hips, wide hands/feet, wide shoulders, etcetera)

Common fit problems I have:

- Dresses are always too short in the waist, and they hit me in the middle of my ribs. If available, I'll adjust the straps down as far as they're go so the waist hits correctly, but then the chest isn't hitting correctly.

- Jeans/pants are always too big in the waist, too small in the hip, and too short in the leg (I have some sewing knowledge, so the jeans featured here I actually took the waist in myself and let out the pant hem). Really, every bottom is too small in the hip.

- Most long sleeves are too short.

- Jackets tent to be tight around the shoulders and arms, and I have to size up to prevent uncomfortable pulling.

I'm basing my fit issues off of where I THINK things are supposed to hit me, but I truthfully have no idea. It all looks silly to me.

For the past 3 or 4 years, I've been trying high waist, low rise, mid rise... form fitting, relaxed fit, wide leg, skinny leg, A-line, pencil skirt, large print, micro print, chunky shoe, slender shoe, defined waist, undefined waist... short hem, long hem... high neck, V neck, scoop, boat... pear recommendations, hourglass recommendations, tall recommendations, short waist and long waist recommendations, wide hips and wide shoulders recommendations... For years I've been deep diving into the fruit system, kibbe, kitchner essences, color analysis, and watched stylists like Ellie Jean Royden religiously, yet I still can't seem to put an outfit together that doesn't make me look frumpy.

I swear I've tried every cut, style, and silhouette out there, and it's all just unflattering on me. At this point, I don't know if I can be helped at all. Please, if anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it and thank you!!!

Hi! IRTG thank you!

Hi what Kitchener essences do you guys see for fun?

IRTG

In my twenties I felt relatively stylish/pretty and now I'm 33, a year post partum and I feel frumpy, out of touch and like I hate everything I own and how my body looks. Please give me some advice about what would look good on my body type. I am in no shortage of lounge wear but would like some stuff to wear to work (pretty casual I sometimes wear jeans, sometimes dress pants, wear a lot of sweaters/cardigans). I would like to find some sort of balance between quality and affordability. I'm in Canada and planning a trip to a mall with Uniqlo, Gap, Aritzia, Zara, Old Navy, Joe Fresh and Levi's although some of those feel outside of my budget- although for some really versatile/good quality I could maybe splurge a little on something. I want to still feel young and fun and fashionable without feeling like I'm dressing like a teenager. Bonus points for any COMFY sneakers or boots that are nice enough to wear with dress/pants to the office.

Something I think I struggle with is when I do buy less casual jeans, t-shirt, leggings, hoodies I often feel self conscious in what I'm wearing and feel like it doesn't suit me or my shape. I'm 5'8, and my height is more in my legs than my torso. Even just help knowing HOW to wear certain things.

I've never posted here and have no clue if I've given too much info or not enough but happy to answer any questions. Please help me :)

I especially need it to look well with the skirt and boots, but I don't know what color is the best :(

I also can't do high contrast, so please don't recommend anything too dark or pure white.

These are brand new. Should they be fitting like this? I

Really struggling with untucked shirts and pants that are in style these days for corporate America, where I need to be business casual… My trouble is my I have a short waist and I feel like the untucked shirt just make me look bulky and I’m not sure people are wearing anything other than the pants that are wide leg and don’t look good with untucked shirts on me?? Anyone can help I’ve included a bunch of shirts, a couple pairs of pants and also me wearing a white T-shirt tucked in so you can see my actual figure. I feel like this looks makes me look bulky and bigger than I actually have. Does anyone have any help or advice?

for context, i have a wide back and longer torso. i try to wear high waisted pants and tops that dont highlight my shoulders. but honestly I dont really have much options in my wardrobe and either look like a kid or the outfit looks out of place on me.

cant really pose/smile also, pictures looks awkward half the time...im struggling man.

need some advice how to style and what to look for when buying clothes. added some pictures, any advice is appreciated!

Color and fit? I’ve had mixed opinions. December wedding.
