Not sure what my body type is exactly, but I have the hardest time finding bottoms that are flattering on me. I feel like they all “cut” me in half almost bc my love handles are so large. These bottoms aren’t tight in the slightest bit, they just look so unflattering. String bikinis seem to be about my only friend but I just really don’t like them. I feel like such a toad when I wear my swimsuit bc as soon as I put the bottoms on I look so much heavier. Ideas? What sort of bottoms should I be tryinng?
ETA: I WAS ONLY POSTING THE FIRST PIC TO SHOW YALL MY FIGURE AND HOW THEY CUT INTO MT LOVE HANDLES AND MAKE ME APPEAR LARGER. I WOULD NEVER WEAR THE BOTTOMS LIKE THAT😂 I’m loving all the advice though 😍

This is a black tie (I think optional) awards ceremony type of thing. I’m going to have to get on stage. Had a baby a year ago and I’m still not loving my body right now. I feel like #1 hides my body the most, my husband likes #3, #2 feels glam but maybe not flattering. I’m leaning towards #3 although I’m not sure why it wrinkles in the hip area to look bumpy like that. Tell me what to wear! (Edit: the hip bump isn’t my underwear digging in, the fabric bunches out for some reason!)

Which color style looks better on me aesthetically? They are so different and I can’t tell what looks objectively better. Thank you guys!!

I picked up some new suits based on all the feedback I got after my last post.
I adjusted the strings on two that I tried before so I’m adding those again.
I appreciate the feedback on what’s working and what’s not.
I’m know I have some loose skin (51yrs, 4 kids) and I’m ok with that, I don’t feel like I need a one piece for that reason (like I was told a few times in my last post), in the photos you can see lines from my shorts waistband, those go away.

I need help please!

Date night is tonight, and I can’t decide which of the two outfits I should wear. I would love your opinions/advice!

(I will be ironing the blue top if I go with that one 😅)

Also adding. I don’t know where we’re going, possibly dinner and a movie, but it’s supposed to be a surprise, and when asked if I should wear shorts or dress, he responded with “surprise me”.

TIA 🩷

32F. I've gained about 20lbs during my unemployment and feel like nothing looks good on my body anymore. Especially with pants, everything looks awful around my stomach and thighs. The black pants in #4 are pretty much the only pants I feel even moderately okay in. I do wear a lot of A-line dresses and skirts in warmer months but can't really get away with that during winter.

I try not to be too hard on myself but it's more difficult every day. Do any of these look okay? How to find things that suit my bottom half?

I'm 5'3". My style is feminine and playful, I like colors and patterns and normally wear a lot of jewelry as well.

Black tie event in November (military ball). Was told the typical dresses people wear are more on the prom/casual side of black tie. I don’t want to lean too prom though since I’m older (27)

Edit: have lighter blue eyes not sure if that will look weird with red ?

I have no idea what my body shape is or how to dress to flatter my body type. Most of my clothing makes me feel uncomfortable. Is there anyone out there with a similar body type that’s found clothing styles to flatter your body? Thanks in advance!

If not how can I make it better? Just the outfit in general, no particular occasion

got this dress through one of the styling subscription boxes. I like the look of it, not sure if I like it on me though. Keep or return? Any other ways I should try to style it?

what length shirts/pants/skirts would suit me?
is the low rise flattering?

For a lil' bit of context: I received this nightly dress four years ago for one of my Romanian Name Days (also known as Onomastică in Romania) and it was made for me, based on my favourite colour list: blue, green, orange and purple with a touch of gold to make it feel like a special nightly kind of dress. I don't wear it too often but I brought it out with me to wear on one of the nights on my vacation, with white sandals that have a lil' black on them since I do not wanna wear sports shoes when it's this warm outside.

I sometimes feel it's a lil' much and that the butterfly effect maybe doesn't come through throughly. So, is this a lil' much or is it simply stunning with this mix of colours?

It’s semi-formal according to a google search but I don’t have any more information. Is the blue dress too dressy, or is the black jumpsuit too casual? I feel best in the blue one but again I don’t know the vibe. Please make my decision for me !!

Edit: Thanks everyone you’re all so sweet! I think jumpsuit may be the winner (with jewelry and heels of course) 🥰

Was haltet ihr von diesem Kleid für eine mittelalterliche/Fantasy-Hochzeit? Es wird eine lockere, informelle Hochzeit.

Glaubt ihr, es würde gut zu einer mittelalterlichen/Fantasy/Wikinger-inspirierten Hochzeit passen, und steht es mir? Ich plane, es mit einem hellbeigen/cremefarbenen Fell wie auf dem Bild zu stylen, und mit Haaren im Lagertha-Stil. Glaubt ihr, das (Kunst-)Fell passt gut zum Kleid? Ich würde mich über eure ehrlichen Meinungen und Styling-Vorschläge freuen! Danke!

Edit: Wegwerf-Account, weil ich nicht möchte, dass meine Freunde das sehen!

Edit 2: Forgot to mention, that I am the bride.

I'm going to a school event tomorrow and am require to wear this specific men's shirt tucked into a pair of khaki pants. I go to a co-ed school but they only sell men's clothing styles! The shirt is doesn't fit right (hence why the sleeves are rolled up), and I think paired with the pants it makes me heavier than usual. Is there any way that I can style this to make it marginally more flattering?

I got a decent deal on these levi's (50% off), are they flattering enough to keep?

This shirt is one size larger than my usual but a slim fit cut. Not sure if it feels a little too big, seems kinda boxy in the body. What do y’all think?
