Make sure your clothing fits. The right fit is the most important part of choosing good clothes. In general, a garment that fits well but is in an unflattering style will look better than a piece with a poor fit in a style meant to flatter your body shape.
- Clothing that fits should be comfortable and not hinder your movements while not looking too baggy or sloppy.
- If you're planning on losing weight, don't buy clothes that you assume you'll fit into in a few months. Instead, hold off major purchases until after you make any major changes.
- Be sure to always hem your pants, especially if you're on the short side. A too-low hem will make you look much shorter.
