Which Size Should I Get?
Well, most people know approx. what size of shirts to get. If you are very petite, you are obviously not going to be looking in the XXL section...however, many girls want to lose weight and are not happy with their bodies and buy the size they WANT and not the size that looks BEST for their body. If you continuously buy the size that is too small and the size that you WISH you were, you won't be encouraged to lose the weight you want to, and you won't look very good. If a 'medium' looks better than the 'small', don't buy the small! It's as simple as that!
Tip #1: Don't look at the size of the item, just look at the item itself. Pick up the shirt and put it up to your body, if it looks like it will fit...try it on! Don't me mad if it is a 'small' and you're usually an 'extra small'.
Tip #2: Remember that all brands of clothing size differently. Just because you are an 'XS' at Abercrombie & Fitch, doesn't mean you are going to be that with an American Apparel shirt. I have a lot of clothes and they don't go from XS to XL, but they do very from XS to S to M, whatever. Every store is different.
Tip #3: When you buy clothes that are too small for you, they are uncomfortable, sometimes shrink even more (so now you can't wear them at all), and do not look flattering.
Tip #4: Sometimes girls buy clothes that are too big for them which is also not a good idea. It's OK to buy shirts that over sized in a trendy way, buy to constantly buy clothes that are baggy and hide your figure is not cool either! Girls do it to 'hide' their figure...but it makes them stand out even more. When you buy clothes that fit, life is alot easier!!!
What Styles of Shirts go with my skinny jeans or my baggy sweats, etc?
If you can pull off a tight graphic tee, or just a plain white t-shirt that is kind of tight...wear it! Tight t-shirts look good with all bottoms. If you have a tight tank top, it always looks good with baggy sweats, skinny jeans and boots, flats, Uggs etc, boot cut or flared jeans with heels, or Converse, and jean skirts or shorts with flip flops or flats (even boots too!). Honestly, anything works. I have soooo many t-shirts that go with all of my pants and shorts.
Now, then there are more dressy shirts that you can wear that are not skin tight. You can get empire waist shirts that flow out where your tummy is so that you do not see any 'flaws'. Also, wearing longer 'shirts' with a belt is super cute too and they can be longer. With longer shirts, I like skinny jeans with boots or flats, or you can wear leggings with boots.
If you have a track suit, wearing a fun t-shirt underneath it and having it be a little bit too long looks cute too so you can see the two colours together.
T-shirts that are a little bit too long look cute with short shorts because you wear them just so you can see a little bit of your shorts, which is really cute and sexy! Also, wearing long t-shirts (baggy or tight) with leggings is the best because you get to show off your curves, but in a more modest way. You aren't showing tons of skin, but you still get to show off your legs! Plus I love the baggy pullovers from American Apparel because, not only are they comfortable, but they are super cute with soooo many different types of shoes.
Honestly, I can only write so much, you have to go and try things on to suit your body. Everyone is different and all brands are different, especially jeans. You might be a 25 with one brand, a 24 with another, and then a 27 with another! Buy clothes that fit your body NOW not what you want your body to be...because you may never lose the weight, or gain the weight, whatever. Live in the moment. It will only boost your confidence even more.
Here are some various celebs wearing t-shirts with various bottoms and in different ways! (and yes, I use Miley Cyrus alot because I LOVE her style! She always looks cute!)
Miley Cyrus
I love this top because it's long, but it's not a 't-shirt' which gives it a dressy feel. It's full of colour and even though it's long, it doesn't just hang there, it fits and hugs your curves! ♥
Jessica Alba
This t-shirt is really long but because she's wearing it with boyfriend jeans, it gives the slouchy look some glam! And the scarf really adds to the outfit! Very cute!
Miley Cyrus
Wearing a tight plain shirt (especially white because it goes with anything) is the best investment! In the summertime, take advantage of the weather and wear it with short shorts, whether it is with boots or flip flops...very cute.
Hilary Duff
This shirt has a design, like the shirt of Miley's a few above, but it appears to flow out even more. Having shirts like these are great because they give a slimming look especially if you are a bigger girl. The don't hug your body, but they do enough to be simply fabulous!
Vanessa Hudgens
With this, get two t-shirts, one that's a little long, perhaps a bigger size, and cover it with a smaller sized t-shirt with a graphic on it. It's very cute, especially with the Uggs like Vanessa has on. You can do the double t-shirt thing with almost anything, this is just one example. You can even do the opposite. Wear a really tight shirt and then put a baggy on over top of it! Very cute!
Miley Cyrus
Simple, yet sooooo cute. Get yourself a good pair of sweatpants and wear a fitted white tank with them! Best part is, you can still wear a baggy hoodie or a baggy shirt and it still looks cute.
Selena Gomez
I love this look because it isn't hard to do and it is really cute. You just need a nice 'shirt' and a skinny or a fat belt to wrap around the shirt, and voila! You are done! Just pair it with some leggings or skinny jeans with some boots and you're set!
Vanessa Hudgens
Here we have a t-shirt and jeans, but instead, the t-shirt is quite loose and almost covers the entire pair of shorts! It's almost like a reallllly mini dress, but you're still wearing shorts so no worries!
There ya go, if you have any questions, leave a comment! :) But yeah, that's my rant on t-shirt styles and sizes. My closing comments really are just buy what looks good on you. Just because it looks good on Paris Hilton, doesn't mean it will look good on you and vice versa! Just because it looks good on you...doesn't mean it will look good on Paris Hilton! Buy for YOU.
