Yes this is so beyond trivial but Im literally just lightheartedl| throwing this out there to get feedback and also if anyone wanted to give me any suggestions or post pics I'd be so happy and grateful... I am overweight and short and my face is chubby and round. I love and always have loved changing up my hair. I've had it every colour and length up till 3 years ago when I took notice of a flippant comment paseed in my
Company about short hair not doing anything for a woman with a fat face . Let me be clear this is a self esteem issue and I'm no way saying women with full faces can't carry off short styles. I love crazy short styles and mad vibrant colours. I've also been every weight from underweight to very overweight during all these styles. I can't find anything that particularly stands out when I Google short styles and I don't want to look stupid or get something I can't really pull off. I'm not sure if I should brave it out and go do something wild or else stay with the grown out long hair in black and play safe. Aibu in my thoughts?please don't be rude or offensive I'm just thinking out loud and looking for different perspectives

I think the most attractive thing is seeing someone doing whatever the hell they like!

I do think if you’re looking at it from a purely “what way will I look slimmer” then short wouldn’t be the right choice (same as if it was a choice between a black or white dress) and unfortunately because I’m obsessed with my (very heavy) weight, it’s nit something I would consider but if you’re lucky enough not to be ruled by that then go for it!

To add to what everyone else has said I'll say that if you are a bit heavy - and I am - and round of face - and I am - it helps if you have "big hair" - volume rather than length. A sleek, flat style can make the head small in proportion to a larger body whereas a fat, fluffy, volumised style is a bit more balanced . But it's your hair OP. I'd say go for it.
