The “why is it feeling off” is usually in the details and it might be the shoes. The reason the exact same outfit looks effortless on someone else and off on you could be the show and how even if it’s the same exact shoe - how it interacts with your proportions. Shoes are a visual anchor. They’re the last thing the eye travels to, and depending on their height and silhouette, they either balance your frame or throw it off. A chunky sole adds visual weight to the bottom of your body. On a taller frame, that weight gets balanced out by more height and leg length. On a petite frame, that same shoe can make your legs read shorter and your overall look feel bottom-heavy. This is why I, as someone petite, can’t pull off the chunky New Balance dad sneaker the way a 5’6” influencer can. As much as it pains me to say it, Golden Goose sneakers are genuinely flattering on petite body types because the insoles have a slight lift. You get the same flattering angle as a low heel, but make it sneaker. Let me know if you want the other reasons why an outfit might be feeling off! Ps.
