I’ve never understood the legging/gym pants craze. Women show their behinds and other “parts” in skin tight pants/jeans, but hide their top parts in oversized tunics. 

 

Some women in the tight bottoms have obviously worked out, while others have never opened the gym’s front door. Everyone needs a full length mirror and an honest eye. If something doesn’t flatter, whether in trend or not, skip it. A loose top doesn’t fool anyone. 

 

I can’t do loose tops because I look like someone put an XL top on an XS body. Yes, the even the size medium tops that are long are baggy are too oversized. I haven’t shopped for tops in 2 yrs. with much success.

 

I’m hoping the loose top trend will go away, but fear it could swing too much the other way and we’ll be faced w/ cropped to the waist tops. Then what?

I'm trying to picture the tops you are referring to.  Do you have an item #.

@GCR18  Me, or is that an open question for others that replied? If me, look at all the JR boyfriend shirts, the long, flowing LOGO w/ ruffled hems/lace around the butt, hips or for me, mid-thigh, Halston’s tees that flare from under the bust, IM’s tunic tops w/ peplums, etc. There are way too many to list item #s.

@Shanus oh sorry, I meant the OP.  I think though you explained it.  I guess I thought the style was a particular top, not so broad.  I think I get the idea now.  😀

GCR18 answered the question.  Especially with the ruffles at the hips! Yikes.

When it comes down to it we are all free to dress as we please, if someone else does not like it they do not have to dress the same way

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Well, I dont like skin tight fitting clothes that look like they have on their little sisters clothes or they shrank in the dryer.  So guess we are all even and dont need anymore posts on this same ole, same ole tired thread.

@ImaoldhippieI agree, but this one’s titled maternity tops and then led to the tight bottoms that are needed to cover them up.
