So not sure if this is in the right section..but its more about clothes than CF, lol
So I am pretty underweight, but since I can't gain 10 pounds in a day I wear clothes that dont fit me most of the time.
too big for kids, too small for adults!
And with all thats "in style " now..I cant wear..skinny jeans make me too skinny!

My question..how to I make my self appear to be healthier over all? Silly question, I know! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks!

Interesting question.....

I'd seen a tv show that had three women in England showing guys how to dress correctly!

It seemed that loose clothes didn't always show a neat and healthy apperance. Horizontal Strips (up-and-down) were for the overweight to seem "thinner" (and they wore the baggy shirts to hide the "rolls" lol
My suggestion as far as pants (or jeans) go, is to find some that do fit well around the waist, but not "straight legs" where they narrow down at the ankles. Instead, just a "regular fit" should do.
perhaps a shirt that hides the "skinny belly" would be equally as usefull as hiding the "pot belly"?
Us CF'rs often tend to have a large barreled chest and having a shirt to hide that (being a bit looser, rather than so snug your ribs stick out) would seem to be a benefit as well.
Shorts?! Probably you'll wanna hide that as well...if so, I'd suggest wearing thinner pants, and I've heard that cotton may be able to breathe in hot weather (can someone verify that?). I try to wear thinner dress pants because I sweat so easily in this dreaded summer heat. I'm not afraid to show off my legs, so I wear shorts when necessary.
And, if I'm guessing you're a girl and not a guy, then you could get away with more things than us guys, like a sweater or something over a shirt...also to hide your figure a bit, I suppose....
I'm not much into fashion, though I try not to look like a geek, like some guys I see heading to work in the am, so I hope that the little bit of input I gave is of some use...good luck!
BTW, I have two birds, the wife has the other two!
