I'm on the verge of giving up trying to be fashionable. I'm a short chubby/ "curvy" girl who tries SO hard to be at least somewhat in style. But NO, designers only seem to create clothes perfectly fitting for stick thin girls, I'm reduced to wearing boys tees and hoodies.
Whenever I even slightly complain about this the first thing people tell me is "well, if you thinned out a bit..." WELL I'VE TRIED. I work out a lot and I eat healthy likes it a religion. So that isn't going to happen
Oh ranting, sorry about that, anyways, I try to look through the women's section of any store that I go to (I'm somewhat poor) and nothing fits. It either shows off my round, unflattering stomach, or my boobs, which I hate putting on display. And I REALLY don't want to be reduced to going to the limited and hideous plus size section, I'm fat yes, but mot that fat. My friends who are built like me have similar problems.
So, to put it simply, what are the best clothes for short, stocky girls/ people in general?

>> No.9043885

Dont give up girl find a fit which makes you feel sexy and look good but also comfortable wearing. You can wear the boys tee but make it more girlish.

If you're unhappy about your weight, just eat less calories than you burn and you will lose weight. It's pretty simple really, otherwise stop complaining.

that's a tough place to be in, I'm sorry
most people on 4chan wouldn't give you advice other than "stop being fat", but I'll try
first, keep up with the exercise and diet. Even if it's not making a dramatic difference, it's still the best way to treat your body and is much better than the alternative
it's definitely not easy to look good without designer clothes that fit well and without resorting to the plus sizes, but not impossible.
I haven't been in the situation, but the best advice I can give is hang around thrift stores and consignment shops, consider wearing things in nontraditional ways, altering and tailoring garments yourself, etc.
kind of build you style and fits from the ground up, seems like the best way to still look good

lose weight. Don't get babied into thinking you should "accept your fat". That is a hideous and hugely damaging attitude.

Remember, there are no fat people as such, just people who are fat at the moment. It is true that it is slightly harder for some to get in shape.


Until you are a workable shape don't worry too much. Just wear simple stuff.

Listen to >>9043913. It's simply physics. Differences in metabolism can at most account for 300 calories a day. Use a calorie counter (MyFitnessPal is the most popular) and develop some discipline.

you can lose the weight! ive lost 50 lbs so far by tracking my calories and eating healthier (cut fast food and drink only water!). if you cant run for whatever reason then try walking more. need to pick something up from the local store? walk there instead of driving

if you are truly driven, you can start working out asap. at the very least watch what you eat. good luck anon, you can do it! also, read the /fit/ sticky and lurk /fit/

If you cannot find clothes that fit and must resort to wearing male clothes, yet refuse to buy plus size clothes, then you should just shut the fuck up and deal with it. Obviously you don't care enough about how you look if you would rather dress in boy clothes than actually try to find clothes that properly fit.

Hey guys, OP here I apologize for not making it more obvious on my weight. I'm not THAT fat. I couldn't stand it if i was obscenely overweight. I'm just a little chubby and have been steadily losing weight. So no, I'm not a fucking landwhale. People who are blatantly overweight disgust me as well. I'm simply asking for clothing or various styles that won't accent my slight chubbiness.

You haven't tried. Simply eat less. I know a 5'2" girl that's skinny as fuck. I hung out with her all day once from morning to late. She ate a small slice and a half of pizza. That's like 500 calories. The entire day. Provided she ate a similar breakfast that is still max 1000 calories for the day.

Sweaters are your friend!
I actually agree with >>9047354 in that the skirt appears to be a size too small. It is still useable, though! Pair with a "box" sweater and/or midriff/crop sweater... I am not sure if "box sweater" is what it's actually called, but it's the type of sweater that doesn't cinch on the bottom. Pic is an example of what I'm talking about.

You could also do a loosely fitted top (casual/nice; tank, tee, etc) and line up a wide belt right at the waistline of the skirt. It would hide that the skirt is a tad too small.

If you want to wear a cardigan with this type of skirt, wear one with a higher cut in back, like a cropped cardi or a reverse hi-lo. Wearing a longer cardi with a flared skirt makes your butt look gigantic from the back... yeah.

For jackets, again, cropped ones pair nicely with a-lines. I like a nice leather coat or a trench. Pea coat or parka are too boxy and long.

I really don't know if if it's hard to lose weight because I never had to and I can imagine it can be hard but you can just stop eating and you will lose weight, just starve a little, don't cave in.

Otherwise you might as well stop complaining.
