    The only difference is I wear shorts when I have less cellulite showing but on a day to day I still dress the same. I wear a lot of leggings or yoga pants with tshirts and flip flops

    I don't feel ugly in sleeveless tops anymore, and I have collar bones. I think I dress nicer than I did, because nicer clothes are available when you can buy off the rack standard sizes, not plus size where everything looks like a wheat bag (some with flowers).

    It's easier to find cute clothes when you're smaller, and shopping for them is a lot more fun. My general style is the same either way - but I found it difficult to find nice clothes that fit properly when I was heavier.

    I haven't been not overweight at all for 15 years or so. I dress more for comfort now. I wore less elastic waist shorts, pants and skirts then. Tops were pretty similar but I grew to love sweaters and layers more as I got older. I wear more color than I used to. I wear more comfortable shoes now.
    When I lost 20-25 lbs more recently I did not change the type of clothes I wore- just got smaller sizes.

    I feel more comfortable about baggy clothes it gives me more space to wiggle, I'm a Medium Size Asian Male and when I'm buying cusual shirts I go for large for reasons.

    Side note, I also like heels now. I used to feel so stupid in them and think they were gonna break. Happy side effect, Their now comfy on me XD

    You have a gorgeous hourshape figure!

    I'm similar and it's easier for uor bodyshape to dress.
    I basically wear the same clothes as before but smaller size. I'm Italian sizes 38-40 now but was 44-46 (in my profile picture I'm wearing 44 Medium). In US clothes I was about size 6, and now I'm not sure, haven't bought anything American lately.

    I haven't noticed any change. I'm a "comfort first" kind of gal. My closet has always been (and probably will always be) stuffed with all kinds of jeans, tshirts, hoodies and sweatpants. I also suspect my mom will always be rolling her eyes every time I whine about not having any decent shoes then end up with yet another pair of sports shoes.

    When I'm over weight l don't think I'm worthy to wear clothes from shops l really want to buy from, more expensive quality clothing. So l buy cheap clothes and the fashion is not really me but l make do. I'm nearly at goal weight and I'm really excited about buying clothes l really like. I'm not talking designer clothes but l want to shop at my favourite shops again.

    Not really? Jeans, trousers, T-shirts, blouses, and the occasional dress or skirt. I still prefer clothing that is soft and loose to clothing that is fitted. It's like snuggling up in a blankie ^.^ Also I like not having to worry about how I move.

    I really don't dress all that differently. But it feels so nice to be a smaller size!

    When I was at my heaviest all I mainly ever wore was baggy T-shirts and jogging pants. As I started losing the amount of confidence I gained was incredible- In came the tights, the miniskirts and dresses. I think i just wanted to show off my body instead of just trying to hide it.

    For the most part, yes! Out of the baggy fat hiding stuff, into the old buried in the closet smaller clothes that aren't made to hide bulges. It's inspiring. :smiley:

    My sense of style is the same. Dresses, heels, curled hair, make up. I don't lose weight because I feel like crap or hate myself at that weight, I do it because I want to be healthy. That's the difference.

    When I was overweight I tried to hide it with what I wore - not with baggy sweaters and hoodies, but by wearing belts at the waist (to pretend I had one!), wearing skirts (to pretend the skirt naturally flared out like that, rather than my huge thighs!) and avoiding jeans or anything that buttoned at my stomach (and caused yet another bump sticking out there).

    Now I feel comfortable wearing baggy clothes because I don't feel a desperate need to prove that underneath my clothes I don't look like that. I'm not so self-conscious so can just dress to please myself. I wear a lot of the same clothes and style (but look better doing it!) plus even bought some skinny jeans recently.
