There’s a lot of pressure when you’re a woman to be up on the fashion game, a game we can never really win. “It’s either too provocative or to grandmother, too out-there or too blasé, too “girly” or not flattering the “feminine body,” according to our critics.
However, all women can agree upon specific sartorial encounters. So whether you love clothes or hate them, we’ve all seen these clothing battles here!
1. The body-conscious dress that’s not going to stay put down
Sure, it’s mid-thigh when you put it on, but after you’ve walked a mile, it’s up around the stomach.
2. When your bra band continues falling down
3. There are only two kinds of jeans: the ones that give you a muffin top and those with a wide enough waistband gap to bring a small animal around.
4. And if you have peeled those denim deathtraps off your legs, getting them below the ankles is a whole other struggle.
5. If the “boyfriend Oxford” doesn’t work exactly like your boyfriend’s
It’s no big deal. Just try not to breathe for the rest of the day, and I’m sure you’ll prevent any malfunctions in your wardrobe.
6. And the ultimate betrayal, of course:
The stabby your most intimate friend in the back (or ribs) who’s always been there to help you.
7. “Wow, it didn’t look this see-through in the store”
The misleading dressing room lights that make you look thinner, and the clothes look thicker are courtesy of you.
8. We’re all jealous if you can find a pair of cut-off jeans that won’t make your cheeks hang out.
9. Taking off a shirt without smearing half your face on it is difficult.
10. But it’s much harder to get it back on the rack without the change room girl realizing
11. The eternal question arises: the shirt or the dress?
12. It doesn’t matter how many pushups or chest presses you do; it will still be there.
You know what I’m referring to.
