Do you think the baggy, shapeless, oversized clothing trend is flattering?

Not sure what you are referring to I haven’t seen anyone wearing over baggy clothes but then I m only in a town out in the sticks maybe it’s city wear ?

It's where everything is loose and oversized.
And usually wirh big puffy sleeves as well.
I don't think it will suit most women.

Anything that disguises my muffin top is welcome!

Well that didn't work

And the big clumpy white trainer trend doesn't help!

Better than when the trend was to have your stomach out in every thing. Made shopping a nightmare for me,, why would I buy a jumper that left my stomach bare? Not logical lol

I don't think it's flattering at all. I couldn't stand all that material in the pink dress hanging around me. Not a look for me in either picture.

I love loose, baggy, droopy clothes.
I like things to sort of hang from my shoulders. Especially mid length dresses.
I’ve been very slim in the past and now I’m not at all slim, in fact I’m fat; and I’ve always liked this look; and more important how it feels.
I hate to feel constricted.
It’s called lagen look.
It’s also quite a Japanese aesthetic.
I prefer not to see the bodies form.
For instance, how Carol Vorderman dresses.
For me it’s all about the head, face and hands.

The second picture is retro 90s done very badly

VioletSky I think that stomach out look is still in with the younguns!
They will wear a crop top wirh baggy bottoms and an oversized hoody

This is the sort of thing that I mean

Carol Vordemon is the extreme at the other end of the scale.

I think that it’s not the most flattering shape but may be the most comfortable. It’s possible to find clothes which skim over the contours of the body without looking baggy. Not easy of course! Buying clothes is hard work but can be rewarding when you find the right thing. At least there’s lots to look at on line even if, like me, you prefer to go to shops. I do a bit of research first.

No, I don’t like the loose baggy style at all, but so many people are overweight these days it’s not surprising that they want to cover their fat up.

Now, I like to see the body's form.
Women have been blessed with a beautiful form.
We shouldn't feel the need to hide it.

Don't like it at all. Haven't seen any of it around here up north. My practical side says what a nightmare to launder. (yep, I'm that boring!).

Aeonk. I agree with skimming.
That is very flattering. Far better than too fitting.

Must live in a very deprived area no one walking around in anything like that
Leave it for the catwalk eh

Snowberry please find some pictures of looks that you like.
This has the potential to be a really excellent thread! ?

I wear dresses with trainers too!
You’d hate how I dress Snowberry!

It’s the stretchy ultra-tight sports leggings on everyone!
Honestly it’s bad enough seeing every ripple of a pert, young bum but on the over 50s. It’s ok in the gym but for a shopping trip it’s not necessary or flattering. It’s when the “ripple pattern” is so stretched out and under stress it just looks awful.
