Clothes shopping after weightloss

I like Esprit and Levis for pants - Though not sure if the first is known/available where you live

I have luck with Macy's Charter Club jeans.

Cmon you skinny thing .. you need some hardship now that you're thin. I like Limited Express ..stores like that ..they have mannequins with different styles of jeans with labels right there to look at .. so they have the skinny..then boot leg.. flare ..and curvy.. so you can grab a pair of each.. try them on and see what you like for your shape. Have fun with it!!!

It took me awhile to get used to the fact that I could shop for smaller clothes. I remember the moment actually: I was at Costco and there was an awesome Seahawks hoodie that I liked. I hadn't bought any clothes in awhile because I was on the fence about what size to buy. I hoped that I could wear an XL but I guess part of me didn't want to try it on because I would be a little devastated if it still didn't fit. After some wavering I decided to buy the XL, not the XXL or the XXXL that I am used to. I took it out to my car and immediately tried it on and it fit great! That was a big moment of triumph for me and ever since then I cannot stop buying clothes LOL. I've pretty much replaced my wardrobe now but I definitely look and feel better!

One thing that's handy and has lots of different brands is Goodwill. I've lost 71 lbs., 264 to 193, with about 55 - 60 to go) and I've gone from size 24+ to 18 on the bottom and 2x to L on top. Thrift stores are great when you're looking for new pants and tops every few months and can't afford to spend hundreds for every size change.

I used to (and still like) Gloria Vanderbilt, Liz Claiborne, and even bought my first pair of Levi's in years. Of course, it also depends on your age on what style you'll gravitate towards. I'm having trouble finding non-skinny, more cotton, less spandex jeans, too. That will definitely not be a good look for me, even when I get to goal weight, as I'm still going to have an unflattering stomach, so I definitely don't want that emphasized.

You just have to try on each pair. Even the same brand and size can fit differently. It's maddening.

Also, it's really a weird feeling shopping in the non-plus side of stores for clothes.

I would definately go with Old Navy. It's affordable and you can still find nice things. I'm down 67 pounds and that's the first place I went. They do sell bootcuts. I am not into the whole skinny jean thing either.

When I last bought jeans, I could not find my size (50WX30L) in any of the stores in town, so I ended up buying online.

Last weekend my wife was looking for winter stuff at Mark's, so I wandered over to the jeans. Sure, now they have what was my size, but I couldn't find what I am now wearing (46W). But since they were $15, I bought 44w and 42w.

Just ticked me off that they now have the 50W and I don't want them anymore....

so I jave no jogging pants as I just donated then all they alert too big. I wanted to play in the snow with my son and I found a size large in tje basement I can't remember when I wore a large anything without numerous x's in front at least 13 years are go. the large fit I know it's jogging pants amd they are stretchy but it was are large!!

I danced around the house all night in those ugly size large pants

Oh yes, gotta love Goodwill! Can't even tell you how many wardrobes I've been through at Goodwill the last 2 1/2 years. Bought, gave back, bought, gave back, many times, from size 28 to 10/12.

I like Bandolino. Sam's club or Steinmart..
