Does this top look stupid?

[pomeglamate]

Sorry, none of my friends are clothes people and I was a jeans and t shirt person until about six months ago. I’m obviously over-thinking this. I am 41 and have lost 35kg with all the attendant loose skin situation so don’t know why I’m trying out fancy Cos poly mix elastane sweaty nightmare tops!! I find it really striking but think it might be one of those delusion articles of clothing where the wearer is obsessed but it’s objectively terrible on them. I feel that S&B will be brutally honest. It’s navy btw, possibly the pics aren’t clear enough anyway

Op you look amazing!! I don’t think barrel legs are unflattering but IMO work best with a tucked in tight vest top or similar.
love the top and I’d wear it with straight white jeans personally.

I agree with PP the top is great but not with those trousers

I think it looks absolutely fine, i'd lose the sandals though...

I think you look fab and I'd be happy to wear that top with those trousers

Not sure what’s happening at the top of the trousers - is that a side belt or is that part of the top?

If it’s the trousers you just need plain straight leg trousers so the too sits better at the waist.

It looks good btw, your arms look great. I think you just need the right bottoms.

I think that the top and the trousers separately both look great, but that that particular top would look better with straight or wide legs, so that the shoulder detail is in focus, if you see what I mean.

Blimey, you look amazing, congratulations. That’s a fab outfit. Your arms are great too! I’ve fluctuated and my arms are dire.
you look super cool and stylish.

I like the top but the trousers are making you look like you are out of proportion, try with a different shape trousers or skirt.

It looks good on you.

Great top it really suits you but agree with other posters it would be better with wide leg trousers!

Well done, you look fantastic as does the top💐

You look really good. Well done on the weight loss and if I saw you out I would think you are pretty stylish 😊

You look gorgeous x

You look GREAT!

I think having the fabric well away from armpits will be quite cooling..... Hopefully!

I also really like it with the trousers, although I agree with pp that barrels look best with cropped or tucked in tops. You could try tucking this in? I think the fitted waist on the trousers and the fit on the top really emphasise your slim waist.

You look really good in it.
Can I gently suggest you tighten your bra straps by an inch or two? In the image without the moustache you could achieve more emphasis on your trim waist and as my DGM and DM, both dressmakers, found it can make quite a difference in how the item sits.

It looks nice but I do agree about a bra. Get a smoothing cup.
But do you love it as you don't describe it with joy. Sometimes when I'm not sure i look for the vinted version for a fraction of the price.

You have a great figure and I think it might look better with a different trouser.

Love this, I scrolled back to look at the photos again 🫢

Definitely tailored wide leg/bootcut or lightly flared trousers would go much better with this top which is really nice BTW. Also try a slightly lighter colour such as camel or even dark burgundy.

I think you look amazing. Well done.

😂😂😂

What loose skin @pomeglamate?
Your arms look great.

I have this top and love it! I sized up in mine as it’s definitely on the tight side. I pop a same-colour cami underneath due to the slightly gapey armholes. There’s a matching midi skirt which looks great with it - search for twist skirt. Might need to try a couple of sizes as it varies depending on the colour!

This is the skirt in navy but I think it also comes in black Matching skirt

Thanks again everyone for being so kind, I was expecting a pasting for some reason, don’t know why on reflection as S&B is usually civilised and productive!

I do love the way the top looks on but it’s just so much sharper and cooler than the stuff I normally wear plus very body contoured so i felt very unsure! Feel buoyed by the general
consensus that it looks like a perfectly normal top on a human woman 😅

@InconvenientlyMaterial yes am hoping I get away with it as there is no fabric-armpit contact… looked at the care label and it’s actually 50% cotton but it feels like something spun from pure petroleum and designed to be worn scuba diving or in outer space

@Whentostarthrt so glad to hear you have it and love it. I did see and try on the skirt in store but this is where the massive weight loss really bites, absolutely no way I can wear jersey on my bottom half!! 😂
