When talking about what makes for a stylish outfit, I think it helps to keep to the topic at hand: the outfit. Otherwise, you are introducing all sorts of unrelated elements that confound and confuse people's judgements. pic.twitter.com/xyaiLqiL87

I’m not certain exactly what his point is, but I’m not sure you can separate the outfit completely from the person’s body shape — they work in synergy. I now look good in outfits I would not have six years ago because I am far more muscular and fit.
By the same token, it’s a nice-looking outfit on the woman in question but exactly the same outfit wouldn’t work on a woman without a trim midriff. However, a very similar longer mesh shirt with a shrug or something would look good on just about anyone. Dressing for the body you have isn’t something unfair or weird. It’s just what you do if you want to look good. Sure, if you’re trim and fit you have more options. But that doesn’t mean you have to look like a dumpster if you are not those things. It does mean, though, that you have to work at it a little harder.
