Clothing for Weight Gain


Hi guys,

I know I often talk about clothing having a positive impact in making my weight gain more bearable, and I really do feel like my attire has helped me a lot, so I thought that maybe I'd offer some advice to anyone reading who perhaps doesn't feel so confident in the clothes they are wearing at the moment.

I also think it's really beneficial to get rid of - or at least box up - clothes that are too small or that you won't feel comfortable in, and you can instead invest in some really lovely new clothes to celebrate when you're weight restored 😊

So... onto the list:

  • Long, baggy tops - I actually got mine from the men's section as they were wider and longer, which was a huge relief for me as it is usually my hips and thighs that I am conscious of
  • Jeans - Mom jeans, boyfriend jeans, girlfriend jeans (anything that isn't skinny fit, really - unless of course you are feeling confident about your legs and are sure that they will fit you throughout this journey!)
  • Maxi dresses and skirts
  • Long jumpers
  • Sweatpants
  • Leggings, especially during times of bloating
  • Pattern-wise, I feel most comfortable in black and vertical stripes
  • Sometimes power-dressing (in more formal clothes like blazers and pencil skirts) is really helpful
  • Jumper dresses
  • Long cardigans and coats
This is just the type of clothing that I felt most comfortable in, though of course it is highly individual! I hope this is at least a good starting point for somebody. 

Good luck guys - I believe in you! 

- A
