Do These Jeans Make Me Look Fat?
Shopping for clothes is a blast. After all, you’re spending money and buying clothes that
should make you look great and feel good, right? Sure – if you’re one of those people that
has the body of the perfect model. It seems like most of the clothes out there are for
women that are 5’6”, barely tip the scales, and have plenty of breasts to fill out shirts but
thighs that slip right into skin-hugging jeans.
For the rest of us women, the ones who have boobs two sizes too big or none at all, the
female fashion plates that sport lovely labels like “pears” or “apples”, clothes shopping
can be a frustrating venture. Some of us have kids, which means that tailored outfit worth
$500 is just a dream. It’d fit perfectly, but sporting cookie crumbs, spit-up and greasy
fingerprints isn’t the ideal of style.
So what’s a girl to do? Settle for glamorous sweatpants, baggy t-shirts, and avoid public
places? No way. Just shop smart!
If It Doesn’t Fit, Don’t Buy It
Plenty of people fall in love with a piece of clothing and try to stuff themselves into
something that doesn’t fit well. Nice jeans, but if your caboose looks twice as wide in
them, why are you spending money to look worse? Because everyone else wears those
style of jeans? Because that’s all you can find? Come on, get real.
If something is too tight across your chest, too short on the torso, or sags at your bum,
don’t buy it. If you do find something that fits well and makes you look great? Buy more
than one.
Try, Try Again
It may take a few attempts at different styles of clothes and more than a few trips to the
dressing room, but it's worth it. Something that fits well makes a person stand out.
When you find something that fits your body, you’ll know it because you'll see it, and
other people will too. The shirt may not be the hot color of the summer, but if it’s a shade
that works with your body to either slim you down or make you look healthier, you’ll
turn heads. Try all sorts of styles to find what works best for you, and then stick to that
style each time you shop.
Stop Trying to Hide
One of the biggest fashion mistakes people make is trying to cover up the parts of their
body they don’t like. Stretchy tops flatten big breasts and too-tight jeans keep it all tucked
in… doesn't it? Baggy shirts hide bones and plenty of room adds bulk… or so people
think.

The worst mistake is to try to hide what you don’t like – you draw instant attention to
what you'd rather not have noticed. If you’re too thin, find clothes that fit your body well
and people will notice the fashion instead of the obvious cover-up. If you have a few too
many pounds, the right style evens things up without making things pop out.
Take a Friend
We see what we want to see. We fall in love with a shirt, think the multi-colored top is
hot and gives us pizzaz, when all that shirt does is make us look like a pizza. We gravitate
to things we think add spunk and style. The problem is that most of the time, we can’t tell
the difference between what looks best and what is best left on the rack.
Bring a friend shopping - one that will give you the straight story - and trust his or her
judgment while you try clothes on. If your wardrobe warder says the red shirt looks
better, ditch the gray one you love and buy something bright. If your good-looks guardian
makes a face at an outfit you think is perfect, put your rose-colored glasses aside and find
something else to wear.
There are plenty of other tips and tricks to finding fashion that fits. Using colors and
patterns to your advantage can make a big difference between looking good and falling
flat. Accessories finish off an outfit nicely and draw attention to your best features.
Certain cuts of clothes work best with different body shapes and sizes. It’s just a matter
of trying new stuff out, mixing and matching what works, and being really ready to hear
the true answer to, “Do these jeans make me look fat?”
