The weight loss journey is an emotional one. The best part of this adventure is seeing results \u2014 but that is challenging when you’re putting on size 22s after you\u2019ve whittled down to a 16. To help you manage, let’s talk about the best clothes for losing weight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In a perfect world, you’d wear something new and cute for every size you drop. But that gets pricey, and leaves you with pieces you can only wear for a short period of time. Sure, you’re a weight loss rockstar because you’re working out like a fiend or you learned how to manifest weight loss\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> or whatever (congrats, btw!). But that doesn’t mean your bank account should suffer irreparable damage as a result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So what’s a (shrinking) girl to do?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For one, don\u2019t keep wearing the stuff that’s too big. The right attire that fits and flatters is a powerful motivator, and your reward for all that hard work. Instead, invest in a few stylish and affordable key pieces that you can wear beyond a single size<\/em> — the four styles outlined can be your guide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Because you deserve to look great at every point along your weight loss journey. That’s true no matter why you’re dropping the pounds. Maybe it’s the freshman 15, baby weight, a deep love for Snickers, or, heck, even a positive result on a food sensitivity test<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> that prompted you into an elimination diet. Whatever the reason, it helps your cause to stay stylish and confident. And what you wear is a huge part of that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The best clothes for losing weight<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Wrap dresses<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You just can\u2019t go wrong with the ingenious wrap dress. It\u2019s suitable for any size, of course, but you\u2019ll find it\u2019s really convenient as you slowly move down the scale. Since wrap dresses are fairly loose without the tie element, you can pull it more taut at the waist as you go. If you lose some chest fullness, you also have the option to wear a cami underneath the dress. You know, to avoid wardrobe malfunctions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Shift dresses<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’ve run across a shift dress<\/a> that was shapeless and unflattering, it was simply the wrong shift dress \u2014 not a sign that all shift dresses are awful. A well-made shift dress has some lovely benefits. For one, this garment can camouflage zones you might still be working on. It also fits like a dream and is easy to customize to your size.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can slip a belt on if you want to create a more fitted silhouette as you lose weight, for example.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

A solid version, like the Nina Leopard style shown above<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, is easy to dress up with bold accessories, scarves and statement necklaces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Or add a fun retro vibe to your life. This quirky a-line dress from Modcloth<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> has a tie at the back — a super useful feature when you’re losing weight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Dressy tunics<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tunics are great to throw on over bathing suits, but they\u2019re also capable of looking great in other environments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can wear Foxcroft’s white stretch tunic out on date night with faux leather leggings and heels. Or top it with a longline blazer and wear it to work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Wide-leg pants<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The wide leg is a trendy silhouette, but it has the added advantage of being super flattering. And because it\u2019s designed with intentional volume, it doesn\u2019t appear as though you\u2019re wearing something too large for your frame.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Smocked<\/a>\r\n
Smocked waist wide leg pants. See details at venus.com<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

This pair of wide-legged pants from Venus has an added bonus of a smocked waist. It’ll grip your midsection even as it gets smaller. Pair it with a more fitted top or something tucked in, to show off the progress you’ve made in your waistline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before you invest a bunch in these clothes for losing weight<\/a>, try on multiple sizes — to test the silhouette against the theory that you can reasonably wear it a size large or a size small. (Amazon Try Before You Buy<\/a> is a great resource for this). A few try-on sessions will point you to the silhouettes that work best for your body type.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
