Losing weight clothes.

8 replies

Need to lose rather a lot of weight and need some inexpensive clothes to get me through the autumn/winter period.

I'm short with huge boobs, flabby arms and fat gut. Size 14/16, apple shape. After viewing a recent photo of myself I shall not be wearing skinny jeans.

I like autumn colours, i.e khaki, burgundy, browns and greens but also like to hide away in grey and navy too. I'm looking for smart casual, would quite like slim legged jeans but haven't got a clue about boots and don't want to look too mumsy.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

TIA

Forgot to add, I walk a hell of a lot so can't do fancy heels as I've wrecked them within days although I don't like flat boots either.

Look at the supermarkets. I've had some really good bits from Asda.

Thanks Viper. What is fashionable but flattering at the moment?

Sainsburys jeans are good. £12.50, really dark blue so flattering and stretchy. Plus they do a short leg Grin

I also bought a few of Sainsburys striped vests for £4.

I know they aren't the most flattering but I'm living in linen trousers at the moment. £20 from next, lovely and comfy.

OP - you're in luck, dark green, purple, teals are all in this season. I'd invest in tunic tops/dresses and cheap leggings and accessorise with good boots/jewellery/ bags/scarves if I were you.

I'm absolutely the wrong person to ask! Rvery time I look in S&B they are deriding things that I wear I like my mumboots

I like the Moda range in Asda which is quite classic but I am quite old, DD has had stuff from their other ranges and it has all been fine.
