There’s a lot of pressure when you’re a girl 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. But there are certain sartorial encounters that can be agreed upon by all women. So whether you love clothes or hate them, we’ve all seen 15 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 the ones that have a wide enough waistband gap to bring a small animal around.
4. And if you have peeled those denim deathtraps off your legs, it’s a whole other struggle to get them below the ankles.
5. If the “boyfriend Oxford” doesn’t work exactly like your boyfriend’s
No big deal, just try not to breathe for the rest of the day and I’m sure you’ll stop 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”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. If you can find a pair of cut-off jeans that won’t make your cheeks hang out we’re all jealous.
9. Without smearing half your face on it the difficult job of taking off a shirt.
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’s still going to be there.
You know what I’m referring to.
