    Am I the only person who has a hard time pulling off leggings + long tunic? Maybe because I'm short or because my hips are super wide, it's so unflattering on me. 😫 The only time it looks ok on me is during pregnancy.

      My legs are so muscular, I don't think leggings are flattering on me.

        I have a hard time pulling this off, even though I am tall, due to having short (relatively speaking), muscular legs and a long torso. Tunics are rarely long enough. But it is really comfortable when I can find pieces that work proportionately!

          Yeah, I hear you. I'm short (5'0) and have a long torso/short legs for someone my height. It's a great combo...

            I'm almost 5'8, but have the legs of a much shorter woman. 😜 I am also busty, which uses up material in tops that could otherwise contribute to length. I have never worn a top with a peplum b/c they never hit at the right place and they look ridiculous. I order talls in tops when I can, but if they are long sleeved, the sleeves are too long. 😕

              Mostly it's just comfy. And if you choose the right shirt, it's great for those of us that are taller and are dealing with "mummy tummy"

                You do you but personally I think real muscle tone on women is gorgeous. Not Gal Gadot but someone like Celia Gabbiani. Strong legs are pretty impressive.

                  Haha, that's what women without muscular legs always say! It's like curly vs straight hair.

                  I think everyone has features they're more or less comfortable emphasizing. I'm finally FINALLY getting comfortable with skinny jeans like 8 years after they became popular. I'm a slow learner...

                    I have matchstick legs and I've let the skinny jeans trend pass me by. All 10 years of it.

                      Unfortunately you're saying that to thunder thighs 🤣

                      I didn't even know the tunic thing was a trend. I thought I was being unique....

                        [MENTION=4422]MAPPLEBUM[/MENTION] we are built very similarly. I'm trying to embrace the thunder thighs myself

                          I'm still self conscious wearing shorts but that's because of cellulite. I have to say lifting heavy things has worked wonders on my self esteem. I still balk when I see pictures of myself but other than that am really embracing this whole strong woman thing.

                            Personally I like to tell myself that it's not that my thighs are big, it's that my calves are small
                            I also could not bring myself to wear shorts this year... couldn't even dare to try any on. Definitely need to get with your lifting program. I miss my leg muscles.

                              I'd go black or nude bra, with straps. I love the first top and I think your legs are bangin'! How do you like the EltaMD moisturizer? I've been thinking of switching my daily sunscreen up.

                                Love the moisturizer. Goes on smoothly and doesn't feel sticky or heavy under makeup. They have for multiple skin types too.
