Ideas for an apple shaped blob

[Sleepdeprived42long]

Any recommendations for something (anything!) I can wear for day to day that will make me feel a little bit nicer!

if it helps-I’m 160cm and a little overweight at around 80kg. I have PCOS so carry all extra weight around my waist (and chin it seems 🙈). I’m also not well endowed-36C.

I hate uncomfortable/tight clothes, especially round my waist. I find stretch jeans don’t stay up because I have no waist (even if I go for high waist jeans). I’ve lived in leggings for the last decade! I hate ironing!

I like wrap dresses although I think they sometimes make me look pregnant 🙈

I’m in my late 30s and don’t really like anything too plain. I’m looking for some new ideas to wear just day to day. So fairly casual, nothing fancy.

Any ideas much appreciated!

I wear stretchy h&m yoga trousers as it balances out my lower half, then some sort of fitted top. This feels a bit more put together than my old leggings. I'll try and find a link

I'd get down to Cos and see what they've got. They always have good shapes that skin over the waist.

I think cropped sleeves and trousers that show off your wrists and ankles are always flattering. At the moment I like wearing cropped pencil trousers or skinny jeans or leggings with a loose tunic over the top. Either a fitted long-sleeved top with a looser tank top over the top, or a voluminous shirt with cropped sleeves.

A fitted blazer in a modern shape also works, with a loose black top underneath so the eye is only drawn to the tailored shape. I've got a very versatile one from M&S at the moment.

Empire lines make me look pregnant but I do sometimes buy things with ruching or a drawstring at the waist to create a little bit of structure.

Pattern seems more flattering on me than flat colours these days. Your eye travels through the pattern.

I have almost exactly the same measurements as you by the way and carry weight on my mum tum!
