Is this awful?

[LookLikeAChristmasTree]

According to DD, I look like a Christmas tree...
is there any hope or should I send the trousers back?

They are kind of cool but I don’t think the top goes with them!

If you were my friend and we were shopping together I would say ‘I bet we can find something nicer, shall we keep looking?’

Not at all flattering Op. Sorry.

I agree with pp, you can do better.

I’m sorry but neither the top nor the trousers do anything for you, and they simply dont go together.

Can you try with a different top, ie not green.

The trousers are fine but not with that top.

I think a cream silk or satin shirt, tied at the front would work well.

At the moment both the trousers and the top end at the widest part of your middle. Ideally the trousers would be higher to end at your waist. A tied flowy, shirt would soften the current middle line.

You could also improve your posture and leg position if you wish to be less Christmas Tree.

The trouser shape is not the best for your shape. Something like a palazzo might be better and a top that you can do a little tuck in the front to accentuate your waist often looks much better than completely tucked in. Or a tank top with an over shirt perhaps?

Neither item of clothing fits you well.

The trousers look too big to me OP.

Yes! The unwritten law of clothes shopping with friends

They're not great. But maybe it's just the top makes it look worse.
It's true you shouldn't wear blocks of red and green as it's too festive.

You need mid or high waist and a wide leg.

The top is definitely a no. The trousers don’t fit you well.

The top is not good. The trousers could work well with a structured top or sweater but it’s impossible to tell here

I think the trousers look great, lovely colour and they really suit you. I agree with others that a different top might go better with the trousers.

The trousers look like they need pulling up, they look like they just aren’t sat right as they are. But yeah overall it’s not really doing anything for you, sorry!

I don't think you can tuck a top into those trousers really as they sit below the waist. Untucked for that style and a different colour either top or bottom.

Are the trousers low waisted? If have yoy maybe worn them low to get the leg length you need? They are quite far away from your waist. I think that’s the issue, it’s hard to tell if they are low waisted, or too short for you so you’re wearing them lower to get leg length,

either way it doesn’t work I’m sorry.

The trousers aren’t flattering and look slightly too short? They also don’t go with the top, sorry.

Oh dear op. I agree with others that, err, you could do better. Trousers aren’t flattering. Top isn’t either. Colour combo isn’t the best. I bet you’d look great in something else.

You could also improve your posture and leg position if you wish to be less Christmas Tree.

Yes, have you tried moving your legs up to your shoulders? Or perhaps have one coming out of each ear?

It looks like you have deliberately chosen clothing, and a way of standing to look like a Christmas tree.

The outfits not giving you much of a waist. It nearly works, but that lack of a waist is making it unbalanced. Try the trousers with a top that shows your waist better.

I don’t mind either item, although I agree that the trousers look quite big. Together they look like Scooby Doo’s best friend.
