Do any of you not wear outfits that do or would look good because of your size/ weight?
For example, and just one example for each would be:
Guys, Skinny jeans?
Gals, crop tops?
Curious for lots of reasons.   |

Any kind of skinny and spray on jeans because my thighs would suffocate.
I don't think hats suit me that well either.
I also never used to wear vests in the gym because I didn't think I was big enough to justify wearing them  |

I never used to because I was so insecure about my body. But now I just buy what I like and wear it. I will often have rolls, cellulite, lumps and bumps on show but I don't care too much anymore.
If the way I look offends anybody then that's not my problem. It's no reflection on me. And let's be honest, nobody is going to go home and think about how you looked or remember you.
Don't get me wrong, some clothing items aren't flattering for certain body types, but if I like it and it makes me feel good, I'm wearing it. I've spent so much of my life covering up. I wore a bikini in public for the first time ever this year. And I have zero regrets.

If it looks pleasing to my eye I'll wear it, I have an artists eye so look for the curves and textures of clothes, I adore a good fit in clothes as well, I'm not cutting off my circulation in the name of Fashion

I avoided crop tops for years. I'm chubby, can't be doing that. Have to wear bras out because if my boobs aren't under my chin are they even there?
Went braless Friday night, wore a white crop top and absolutely loved life. Really couldn't give two hoots if folk thought I looked awful (when I was there!) |

Tight jeans aren't particularly healthy for the male anatomy also. They reduce circulation. Crop top I think if the breast are big enough most women can pull it off.

I totally hear that. I feel like super skinny jeans are things I would avoid but I have a really tight pair and my partner likes them but I just don’t feel comfortable going out in them. Also totally get the best thing. Especially because it might feel people at the gym are judging. |

I dress like scruff most of the time though. "
I hear you. It’s like you can’t wear a crop top if you have a belly but why?! |

This was really lovely to read. I’m so glad about the bikini especially. That’s big.
I feel everything you’ve said, just guess it’s always difficult to reach that mindset for yourself when it feels like society wants you to look a certain way to pull off a certain look.
But go you  |

"And age.
Wouldn't wear a crop top. "
I hear you on age.
I think there’s clothes that people definitely don’t think older people should wear.
Slightly different but I saw my Nan wearing a full Nike tracksuit after she retired and I thought she looked amazing but I know a lot of older people don’t like the idea of wearing clothes like that. |

I dress how I like and feel comfortable, not to follow fashion or please anyone else. I have quite a classic style and don't tend to follow fashion anyway, mainly because I don't like any of the styles....it makes shopping very difficult  |

"I can never get skinny jeans over my calves so I guess they would look ridiculous like an ostrich. "
skinny jeans and even baggy jeans look so tight over my thighs and I hate it. But slim or skinny jeans at least don’t flare at the bottom which I personally hate. But I hear you, if you have big thighs it might not be the best look but if you fancied it, I’m sure you could rock them |

Omg Meli, YES! I love that for you.
My partner has very big boobs. Like GG and she went braless for the first time a year or so ago and I know it was tough for her to get to that point.
You’re really beautiful I bet you looked great.  |

Do they make them in other styles that you might like? This is fair and I hear you |

"I wouldn't wear ripped jeans or speedos "
Why not ripped jeans? You can get some good styles if you like them do it. Speedos I feel you can do it if you want to but I do think they need a lot of confidence to pull off. |

Fair. But I don’t mean do you not wear it because of fashion trends etc. I meant is there any outfits you like and think you would look good in but wouldn’t wear because of size, weight and now adding in age? |

It's so difficult. I've been on this planet for 29 years and I am only just getting to that point where I'm starting to embrace myself for who I am. But I have my bad days and it's not easy.
If you ever buy an outfit and you love it but you're worried about what other people will think then be brave and remember that you are worthy of that outfit just as you are love!

No it wouldn’t. I believe if you like the look of something you should be able to feel comfortable wearing it. |

I used to avoid skinny jeans, because 42" skinny jeans are a misnomer that shouldn't come into being, yet they did.
Now I'll happily wear them, though they need a bit of stretch in them, and the correct cut, lest they become hideously crotchular.
Only problem now is the drop from 36" to 34" waist jeans, they assume between those sizes you go from mens thighs to teeny tiny straws. Nothing worse than trying them on and literally stopping squarely at the thigh section, like something out of Friends a la Ross and zee leather pants. |

Yes. Most definitely, I don't look at myself In order to compare myself to what society deems attractive. I trust my eyes and dress for myself, if I feel sexy I'll wear attire that compliments my mindset at the time |

My thing is I currently really like fits with T shirt tucked in but because of my body shape/ size or whatever I am but confident enough to wear it out often or at all. Like sometimes I go out and untuck by the time I’m at the train station because I get nervous.
Lots of it is to do with my anxiety and self esteem but also I find it hard to feel like the person I’m meeting might be judging me  |

I like crop tops but at 47 and with a big belly, I don’t wear them.
On the upside, this Summer I have been wearing more dresses which I normally avoid, because life is too short not to. So a small win!

"Crop tops?
The majority of women probably grew out of wearing those in their teenage years.
Gym versions are different altogether. "
Weird because I know women my age and older that wear them.
Are there any clothes that look good on you that you don’t wear because of size/ weight/ age or not?  |

Its not weird leaving a trend or style of clothing behind you as sometimes you need to know when it doesn't suit you to dress a certain way anymore.
I'd only ever wear clothes I felt comfortable in, if you spend half the day paranoid what you look like, what someone else thinks or constantly re-adjusting them all the time then give up wearing them. Another choice of clothing/outfit will probably work miles better |

No weird that you were asserting that the majority of women don’t because that was contradicting my experience. But you obviously have the stats.

No, weird as in you haven't actually read my answer to your question properly.
Most women don't wear crop tops as our boobs and bodies don't allow it 
Also with ages as well a lot of us wouldn't dream to do so past a certain age.
Your age difference to mine and the people you know to the ones I know are vastly different and I can assure you, a lot of us past a certain age wouldn't look good rocking a crop top!!
That is my answer to your question, I didn't refer to your experience at all in my response. If you want to wear skinny jeans with a tshirt tucked in or a crop top you do so , you rock you!
Answers will be different amongst various age groups |

That's exactly it! First time I worse a vest, I felt so naked and as if people were looking that I put my hoodie back on and did the rest of my workout workout in that. Then I powered through one session with the best and it became easier from there and didn't care as much because I was looking absolutely wham  |

Omg Meli, YES! I love that for you.
My partner has very big boobs. Like GG and she went braless for the first time a year or so ago and I know it was tough for her to get to that point.
You’re really beautiful I bet you looked great. "
Ah the struggles of the GG cup! It's quite difficult to get there, but it's so beautiful when you do. Thank you Steve, that means a lot coming from you. I felt happy. Even sexy! I can't keep on wearing jumpers and cardigans for the rest of my life.
I think do what makes you happy when it comes to clothing. If it sparks joy in you, wear it Steve. Celebrate. There'll come a time when you'll look back on photos and think how beautiful you were. You are right now. So why not rejoice in that? Be all of you unashamedly. Get that piercing. Wear that t-shirt tucked in.

Ripped skinny jeans on men are ridiculous as fuck.
I like my ripped jeans but I wear boot cut ones. The rips are just wear from the years I’ve had them. I’ve never bought them that way
Boot cuts even worse. Lol.
But at least they're not bought ripped.
I started wearing them years ago as they fitted over my skates
And they don't make feet in boots look huge
That’s an added bonus with my size 12s
And with my size 9's
Still in heels range though with a 9 only just though "
Heels only come out for when I'm with tall people, I'm 6ft 2 in the shortest of heels |

"Crop tops past your early 20s look daft IMO."
I've never gotten to wear a crop top.
Best believe that when I finally get down to goal I'm gonna wear the fuck out of them. Don't care if I'm 35 or 69; after a lifetime of failed diets my stomach deserves to be getting aired to the world |

"No, weird as in you haven't actually read my answer to your question properly.
Most women don't wear crop tops as our boobs and bodies don't allow it
Also with ages as well a lot of us wouldn't dream to do so past a certain age.
Your age difference to mine and the people you know to the ones I know are vastly different and I can assure you, a lot of us past a certain age wouldn't look good rocking a crop top!!
That is my answer to your question, I didn't refer to your experience at all in my response. If you want to wear skinny jeans with a tshirt tucked in or a crop top you do so , you rock you!
Answers will be different amongst various age groups "
Anyway, thanks Dreamyboo |

If an outfit looks good on you, then size dosnt come into it at all.
If Karen is a size 18 and looks good in a tight bandeau mini dress, being a size 18 means nothing. It not what you wear but how you wear it and dressing for your body shape. |

If you like them, do it!
It should be about what you think not others.
I will be far enough from the UK so the chance I will ever see any of those people again is pretty slim and therefore it shouldn't matter what they think That being said I might still chicken out
K"
Don’t 
Do it do it do it!
I’m rooting for you, we’re all rooting for you |

"Any kind of skinny and spray on jeans because my thighs would suffocate.
I don't think hats suit me that well either.
I also never used to wear vests in the gym because I didn't think I was big enough to justify wearing them
I totally hear that. I feel like super skinny jeans are things I would avoid but I have a really tight pair and my partner likes them but I just don’t feel comfortable going out in them. Also totally get the best thing. Especially because it might feel people at the gym are judging.
That's exactly it! First time I worse a vest, I felt so naked and as if people were looking that I put my hoodie back on and did the rest of my workout workout in that. Then I powered through one session with the best and it became easier from there and didn't care as much because I was looking absolutely wham "
I was gonna say, you are wham.
WHAM* even. |

If I can wear a bikini to the beach, so can you!
Mind you, I was terrified but no one died (even got chatted up by a hot guy haha) and I was somehow brave enough to post it to insta where I got a bunch of compliments
Honestly go for it! |

"Hmm I probably don’t wear most of my wardrobe at as I know I’ve gained weight and especially my tummy/hips I’m not comfortable with
Even when I was younger I never wore crop tops as I thought I was fat…looking back I didn’t look half bad! How typical hehe "
I hate that we don’t see ourselves the way others do sometimes. But try it on, see if you’re rocking it. If you are keep it and wear it! |

Madonna is a rare case of me saying, and meaning, ‘it’s not your age, it’s just that you don’t look good in it.’ |

"I avoided crop tops for years. I'm chubby, can't be doing that. Have to wear bras out because if my boobs aren't under my chin are they even there?
Went braless Friday night, wore a white crop top and absolutely loved life. Really couldn't give two hoots if folk thought I looked awful (when I was there!)
Omg Meli, YES! I love that for you.
My partner has very big boobs. Like GG and she went braless for the first time a year or so ago and I know it was tough for her to get to that point.
You’re really beautiful I bet you looked great.
Ah the struggles of the GG cup! It's quite difficult to get there, but it's so beautiful when you do. Thank you Steve, that means a lot coming from you. I felt happy. Even sexy! I can't keep on wearing jumpers and cardigans for the rest of my life.
I think do what makes you happy when it comes to clothing. If it sparks joy in you, wear it Steve. Celebrate. There'll come a time when you'll look back on photos and think how beautiful you were. You are right now. So why not rejoice in that? Be all of you unashamedly. Get that piercing. Wear that t-shirt tucked in.
"
Meli, this is so lovely. Thank you. I’m not at that stage of my journey yet but it’s the next stop, I’m sure. |

"Vests to the gym are a no go, I feel like even if I did have big arms, I still wouldn't wear one "
I hear this. But you know what, the gym is the place to wear it. Really, guys and gals in the gym are respecting the fact that you’re actually there. |

Too many rules. "
If it looks good. Wear it. And I’ve not a doubt in my mind that you could pull these off with the right fit! |

"Not so much size & weight related....but there's stuff I look at and need to remind myself that I'm pushing 50."
Pushing 50 isn’t that deep. At least you’re not 50
No but seriously, if you can pull it off, wear it when you want. If you believe clothes in your size have an age limit then lol I don’t know what to tell you. Long day. |

I don't wear anything that shows my belly fat because I can't stand looking at it, much less want to inflict it on others. Due to disability and stuff, some clothes are now uncomfortable or impractical, such as floaty skirt fabrics or anything textured on my bad leg. Lots of shoes no longer fit my fat foot and I can't wear heels anymore either.
I bought a brightly coloured playsuit to the pre social on Friday. It's not something I'd have chosen usually, but took a punt on it. My initial reaction was "absolutely not" but Mr KC said it looked good (he's always very honest) so I gave it a go. Other people at the pre social seemed like think it looked good too! |

I still wear crop tops. Usually with something high waisted though to hold in the belly

I have a birth mark that I was very self conscious of and it stopped me from wearing tops like that for years.
A d*unk girl in a pub loo actually asked me if it was a shark bite (her attempt at humour).
I like my shoulders and arms now so wear it and don't care too much now. |

It's a shame you don't like crop tops at your age because I feel like they would look amazing on you.
Just saying. |

Went out with my sister a few weeks back. She worse a play/jump suit. She absolutely rocked it. The zip though is at the back so she either needs someone to go the loo with to undo then do it up again. I suggested a bit of ribbon or whatever, something like they do on wetsuits.. she said no to that but I know she won't. She has way too much fun finding a fella to do the zip for her lol |

I've always been wearing bikini to the beach, that's not the issue. It's the 'thing'spart that terrifies me as my butt has a lot of cellulite on it.
I will probably give it a go now that all of you hyped me up about it

If an item of clothing makes me feel self conscious in any way, no amount of struggling to get over how I feel about it would make me wear it.
Similarly, if there's a part of my body I'm not entirely happy with, I'm not going to wear clothes that put that on show.
I don't feel my clothes choices are restricted by any of this |
