I used to think I couldn't wear them as my arms are bigger then alot of women. Not flabby but just muscely! LOL....I finally have a tan for the first time in many years and now I have decided to wear sleeveless in this hot weather and I don't think I look that bad in them! Do you sometimes judge yourself too harshly? Does it keep you from wearing a certain kind of clothes?

Yeah, sometimes I judge my physical appearance too harshly. But most of the time, nothing can stop me from wearing sleeveless tops. I live in a tropical country and dear me I really cannot stand the heat sometimes. Never mind the flabby arms. I just wear my clothes with a smile and some all the 'air of confidence' i can muster. Have a nice day!

When I was younger I wore them all the time. Since I was born BC, I don't wear sleeveless tops any longer. The flab is interesting and quite comical. I am thin but still have plenty of flab hanging around. Don't want to offend anyone so I wear tops with sleeves. Tans are really pretty, on everyone else. I try to stay out of the sun but use to love basking in the sun on a hot day.

There are certain things I don't wear. For one thing, the bust needs support. For another, I don't need to be wearing low cut jeans, since the stomach isn't flat. And certain types of things just don't flatter my figure. Maybe I'm too harsh on myself, idk.

I am also not very happy with my arms, since they are too skinny and don't seem to have even one muscle in them. So I don't wear sleeveless tops either, even though a lot of people tell me I should. But I just don't feel comfortable in them, you know?

we charge a clothe from its appearance and comfort.women pay more attention the former,but men care its comfort more.it's no doubt that looking good in a sleeveless top give you a good day.

I've gotten to the point in my life that I wear what's comfortable and to hell with what everybody else thinks because we only live once so why not make the best of it and live it comfortably? That may have sounded a bit harsh but it is how I feel and besides that, nobody pays any attention to what we wear anymore..... except kids who are into the latest fashion. Us adults don't worry about that anymore and wear what's comfortable to us and YOU should too!

I used to be that way.. I used to think my fat, flabby arms looked gross.. and this is back when I was 18 and relatively thin (for me). I guess I just eventually got over it... I also noticed how most other women looked with their fat, flabby arms hanging out, and I didn't feel so bad. After I started gaining weight I would still wear sleeveless shirts, just not as often. I've always been self concious about my weight.. and still am. Some days are better than others, so some days I will wear tighter clothes while other days i'd rather wear something baggy.

Yes and i love it together with shorts though im fat! I don't care whether others will get disappointed with my looks but that two makes me feel very comfortable specially when im at home and doing nothing just like now that im here making discussions with you. For me, i couldn't live without them, even if im inside the mall, i look for them and tends to buy them rather than the other type of clothes. Have a nice day!

Yes, I do wear sleeveless tops even though I am 40 and overweight. If it is very hot, I want to be cool and that is the most important thing. I will also wear shorts for the same reason. I hate being too hot. Sometimes there are more important considerations than whether you think you look good in something or if it is flattering or not.

I don't wear sleeveless tops because I have heavier arms than most people. I used to wear them but I saw in the mirror where my arms looked too big so I just quit wearing them. I wear short sleeve shirts in the summer and long sleeves in the winter.

Good for you! Why should you hide your arms, they're yours aren't they? Even if they were flabby, it's no big deal, the important thing is that you'll be happy. So if you're happy with wearing sleeveless tops, go for it jillhill!

Yes, I do tent to not wear some things because of my size. I will where sleeveless, but it can't be any kind of sleeveless. sometimes wearing a sleeveless shirt I look huge, then again it could be me, but if I don't like it, I won't wear it..But for some reason, (maybe the color) I have a couple shirts I can wear and look good in..:)

I think you are right about that. I don't look that good in some of them so stick to a certain type too.

I do wear sleeveless tops but I wear a cute bolero or jacket with it.besides most of the sleeveless tops I see are too short at the hem.I am a lover of long tops - tunics,mini dresses, and the like.my tops hit exactly or a few inches after my hips.I haven't seen a sleeveless top that is ling enough to cover my hips.

No I never wear sleeveless tops it's not that I don't want to, but it's quite the opposite I always wished to wear them, but I can't. I have horrible acne in my shoulders and if I wore sleeveless tops then it would show and I don't want to show that.I always look at other girls that wear them and think wow how lucky are they. Still I'm not one to get jealous I just wish that one day I would be able to wear them that would make me so happy.
