Hey guys!
So I'm 17 years old, 5'6", and 108 pounds which is underweight. I've talked to my doctor a lot about this and he said its all due to my fast metabolism which will slow down once I'm 20 and then I'll be in normal weight. My concern is that with my body, its hard to dress sometimes and I never seem to look pretty in dresses and skirts. I eat A LOT but it does nothing due to the metabolism. I get called a stick, boney, etc. and for some reason people just easily say those things to me. I know there are overweight people out there and many think twice before commenting but with skinny people, everyone just jumps to the conclusion that I'm anorexic which is not true at all. I was hoping you guys could give me some fashion suggestions, I'd appreciate it! :)

I've got exact the same problem, but embraced it around the age of 16, I mostly wear slim fitted clothes (just because I see it as a blessing) like skinny jeans, tank tops etc.

Skater skirts, peplum tops, flowy tops and skinny jeans. I understand that people can be nasty, but you're Lucky! good luck(:

Personally I say you wear WHATEVER YOU WANT! who cares what people say! many people would LOVVVEEEE to be in your situation. People will always say negative things , but you can't live your life dodging their bullets. So be proud in your own skin, your beautiful! :)

I have the exact same problem! I like wearing stripes and prints because it kind of disguises how skinny I am hahah.

I'm not fat and I'm not skinny but @Soph P. is right, be who you are and don't give a $hit about other people's opinions! Like @Soph P. said, I would love to be in your situation... Take the advantage of wearing high waisted shorts and tank tops and crop tops etc... Some people don't have that advantage as they may be unhappy with their body eg me.
