Comments about feeling like the body has changed drastically indicate fit and silhouette challenges that can make getting dressed feel discouraging.
“I look like I’m fucking pregnant. I hate being in my body right now.”
“Same!!!”
Shoppers describe sizing as unpredictable across brands and even within the same item in different colors, making fit a frustrating trial-and-error process.
“Sorry love, its a clothes problem. Different brands have different definitions of sizes for women, all the more to torment us. The more you try on, you will get an understanding if what to look out for in your body type. :)”
“You forgot different colors of the same brand has different sizes haha. I have this issue with Old Navy jeans. I love my Old Navy jeans I really do, but I can never get a pair to fit me the way my size 6 blue ones do. I want black ones. I can't wear a six it's too small, cannot wear an eight it is too small... I go to a 10 I might get lucky and it will fit. They are literally the same style, the same brand, purchased at the same time... But the black ones will never fit lol”
People who keep items for a long time feel their clothes start to look faded or lose shape, making their outfits seem older than they want.
“As someone who holds onto clothes for an absurdly long time, mine is usually just the clothes itself being a bit worn out. The jeans are a bit too faded, the shirts don't lay or stretch nicely like they did before. I can't find the styles that I typically like these days, so I've been wearing things longer than I probably should.”
Some commenters struggle to find the styles they like today, which leads them to keep older pieces longer than they should.

Community responses encourage wearing bold or outlandish outfits and emphasize personal happiness over age-based rules.
“I dress way more outlandish than this and I think I'm older than you. You're beautiful, wear what makes you happy. We ain't even old.”
