I see nothing wrong with it as long as the fit is good, anything too tight will not look good but a good fit is fine

@cjm61  The scientific study needs to be updated.  Does not work for pear shaped bodies.

I see 3 different size stretched vertical stripes - chest, abdomen & hips.

Assuming that the only way to look attractive is to appear taller and slimmer is pretty outdated thinking, in my opinion.

Wear whatever you like that makes you happy.

Kim seems to have more than her share of unflattering clothing.  In fact, I rarely find anything in her collections that meets my personal standards of quality, style and value.

IMO Kim has to get rid of her horizontal stripes. They don't look good on her, the hosts or the models.


ESPECIALLY on JT. Stripes make her look VERY WIDE. NOT a flattering look.

 

Horizontal stripes look good on women who are THIN.

I don’t own that many striped tops or sweaters, but I’ve seen plenty in the stores and at the Mall lately. 💕

Agree 100%. Horizontal stripes are not a friend to anyone, just unappealing. My opinion!
