I own one pair. Jeans and skinnies are fine, but not real grown up pants.&nbsp;<div>Part of it is that I'm short, and petite ranges are not as common here in Australia. Part of it is that I don't have the patience to try on too many to find the "one". And part of it is that pants just don't fit me well :)&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-difficult-wardrobe-items#post-1783343 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:55:42 +0000 Style Fan 1783343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer bottoms and footwear.&nbsp; Really footwear belongs in another category because it causes me so much grief.<br />I am always struggling to find something to wear on my bottom half when it is 30 C that is not short shorts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-difficult-wardrobe-items#post-1783323 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 08:58:30 +0000 Sisi 1783323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty <b>and</b> decent tops. I mean pullovers, tees, blouses that are&nbsp;not too low necklined, not sheer, not short, not clingy, not in black/brown/grey/beige.&nbsp;And what Anchie said for dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-difficult-wardrobe-items#post-1783321 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 07:56:47 +0000 Gigi 1783321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tops, especially sweaters. So many sweaters are either oversized (which makes me drown in them) or boring. And I don't like a lot of acrylic or polyester in my clothing, so that narrows things down quite a bit too. And wool is starting to make me itch, argh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-difficult-wardrobe-items#post-1783314 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 06:02:37 +0000 Anonymous 1783314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pants for sure (due to being short-waisted and having a long rise).

For example, I've been looking for a nice navy jacket (one that fits me) forever. I have black and &nbsp;grey ones in the style I want, but not navy and this spring, it seems it's navy I need. &nbsp;Finally I just got a very fitted, well cut slightly stretch dark denim jacket that may do the trick this spring to fill my navy-topper closet hole. But it's not a tailored jacket. &nbsp; </p> <p>Another colour issue: belts. I seem to find the perfect ones except they are all blue or brown, not black! Then the only black ones that fit me have intricate buckles or buckles that are too in-your-face, so you can't wear jewelry or they clash with your jacket/coat buttons.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyone else struggling with colours rather than item?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/most-difficult-wardrobe-items#post-1783214 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 23:44:27 +0000 MsMaven 1783214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses are impossible with the body I have now.
