Why do overweight people wear unflattering clothes?


Question Posted Wednesday April 28 2004, 6:53 pm

I don't meant to sound mean, but if a person has flab hanging out, they should not wear tight, revealing clothes that a skinny person would wear. I'm tired of seeing women in particular wearing halter and short tops with their flab hanging out the sides, and their bottoms straining the seams of their tight, low-cut jeans. I'm not a skinny mean girl saying this, I have extra pounds on me and I try to dress in a way that flatters me and hides what I don't want to show off. Do these women think they look good? Are they in denial? What is the deal?

They probably are just something i like to call overally confident.. and they are probably in some denial or maybe they weighed alot more before hand and are proud of themselves for loosing so much-trix

I agree with you completely, only I think that NO ONE should wear clothes like that. It's slutty, and that's gross. I guess they're in denial and it makes them feel better to be wearing those clothes. If you see any like that in a store or something just think to yourself "I'm glad I don't dress like that, I actually look nice."

I have wondered that same thing. I am a big girl myself and i cover up. a lot of people want me to show more this and that but thats just me im a covered person and i have 2 girls to look after i dont want them running around wearing tube tops or shorts up their butts! But I blame the fashion designers! if they didnt make the clothes in some overweight people's sizes they wouldnt wear them. then it might motivate some to loose weight so they can wear them. BLAME THE FASHION DESIGNERS! SHAME ON THEM!

Sometimes, I kinda feel the same way. BUt I have decided something. If we would all pull together and stop looking at the way people dress, we'd all be better off. I say, if they wanna show off their rolls, more power to them!

oh my gosh!! I totally agree with you. Although people should wear what they like, clothes come in diff. sizes. some clothes look bad on thin people too, just so I dont sound like rude...

Actually people have come out and said if they like something they are going to by it and wear it. Its because big people are tried of being differnt, like i'm tired of shirts not fitting my arms because I work out a lot so I have huge arms so I had to search for shirts to fit that now I'm just like screw that I'mm wear a normal shirt. For them they don't need to be ashamed about it anymore they want to fit in at that cost. And some actually do think they look good, plus it gives them more reason to lose weight.

You shouldnt care what other people are wearing all that matters is how they feel in the clothes, if they feel good then that's all that matters. Could it be that you a low self esteem and your self concious about your body?? and you wish you could feel as good as they feel??? i think you just maybe a little jealous.

I kinda' know what ya mean. I occasionally do see some overweight people wearing clothes that should be burned... {lol} However, I think that just because you are over weight doesn't mean you have to dress like a nun, and cover everything up either. Every woman comes in a different size, wether that be a size 1 or size 21, they all have differnt things going for them, wether that be there eyes, "butt", legs, and so on. They should wear things that flatter them, but of course it is not our place to tell them to hide rolls hanging out. That's part of being an american....that you can wear whatever you choose.

notnormal answered Wednesday April 28 2004, 10:43 pm:
I am wondering why you care about what other people wear. Unless they have some sort of relationship to you, it should not really matter.

I believe people should wear what they feel good in. If it is hot outside, and an over-weight woman has no problem with wearing revealing clothes, then that is ok with me. Self confidence and a smile adds a lot to a person's appearance. And if you look around, you might find that these over-weight women with "flab hanging out" have people around them who care for them and love them and think they are attractive.

Do you want advice or do you just want to rant? Next tie, why don't you politly ask one of them why they do it, and then politly point out they look quite bad, and then go rant someplace else, not an advice website :)
