Long torso, shorter legs. What do you wear

[Userno73636273737201643737372]

5 foot 7.5 inches tall and to add I could do with losing a few stone so not skinny either. I need some new clothes but I have such a strange body shape and don’t know what to wear.

I have a long torso, tops are always too shorts, I have to look for tops that are longer line from tall section, I find it hard to find tops.

as for trousers - I mainly wear jeans, my leg length is 29.5-30 ish so short leg, for years I wore regular length, some were okay over shoes etc and with boots etc but in the summer I find I have to wear Shorter leg as I look silly.

I am mainly a casual dresser. I don’t work currently (I have a disabled child and finding it impossible). But suggestions on what sort of type and shape of clothing to wear, for someone that carries weight around their belly too!

Im a very similar size/shape to you. Tunic tops are your best friend. They tend to be longer and are more floaty. I always wear bootcut jeans too. Floaty linen pants are great for summer and maxi skirts are better than dresses as you can pull them up. Look out for long line vests or Asda do lovely V neck floaty vests for about 6 pounds each. Team with a fitted hoody to pull you in. You can buy tunic tops anwhere but Joe Browns do lovely ones, i buy mine from Vinted as they are really expensive !

I'm 5' 5, an apple-shaped size 16 and have a 28" or 29" inside leg. I'm built like a Womble.

I prioritise comfort over all else so I wear either jeans or leggings with trainers and a sweatshirt/hoody/long t-shirt and open overshirt.

You probably shouldn't emulate me if you want to look stylish or put-together. I work in IT and even go to the office looking like I'm off to walk a dog 😂
