I didnt want to hijack her thread, but Marley asks a question in another thread about upsizing and slouchy skinnies that made me realize what has been bugging me about the big slouchy trend of late.

Sizing up a couple of sizes, especially in pants, just plain makes me feel dumpy and not fab. I know that a big part of that is because I was overjoyed to rid my closet of the pants that sagged unflatteringly on my butt and at the crotch after I lost weight -- why would I want to go back to that look? On a purely emotional level, I can't help but feel like, hey, I worked darn hard to get my size back down into single digits! Why go back up for something that doesn't even truly fit my body? Why would I willingly buy clothes too big for my body?

I appreciate the look on others when it is done well, but this is a trend I will likely sit out unless I find something really perfect on me. The easy slouchy look is difficult to achieve with my body type, and doesn't make me feel particularly attractive. I came to skinnies fairly late in the game, and I still enjoy them and will find ways to keep them looking current (and embracing my bootcuts as well). Sometimes I think we get caught up in the crowd mentality and work too hard to make a style work for us.

I realize this may be an unpopular opinion, but I wanted to throw it out there and even ask if I have any company. Is anyone else on Team Not-So-Slouchy?
