Why Kim Kardashian Wears Super-Tight Clothes — Even While Pregnant

If Kim Kardashian‘s second-skin wardrobe (still continuing into her second trimester) has you raising your eyebrows, you’re not alone. But the reality star wants you to know that she’s not just wearing super-tight clothes to look sexy, but because looser clothes don’t flatter her hourglass shape.

“I think because I have big boobs it could make me look heavier if I don’t, like, show off my waist or something,” Kardashian says in the new issue of Du Jour magazine. “So I just have kind of learned to dress one way only.”

The mom-to-be has learned over time that she can’t try new things, stylewise, the way her sisters can. “Khloé can wear flowy, pretty things because she’s really tall. Kourtney is, like, really little,” she says. “I’m just kind of in between, so it doesn’t really work.”

The magazine cover marks Kardashian’s first pregnancy photoshoot, though her baby bump is obscured throughout most of the beachy, “Tahitian goddess” shots by Bruce Weber. Click here to read Kardashian’s full Du Jour story, in which she also dishes on her divorce, privacy and her family. Tell us: Do you think Kardashian’s sexy maternity style is appropriate?

I think kim is a pretty woman.however, shes talking about how flowy and bigger clothes are unflattering to her shape. Well in the maternity pictures i just looked at of her all of the too tight outfits were unflattering to her shape and progressively growing baby bump. She looked bad, i think if she were to try to dress a little more conservatively she would look great since she does have a baby bump to think about. Wearing clothes that are too tight ca actually cause harm to the baby. Like i said i think shes a beautiful woman, she just should alter her wardrobe a bit to match this time in her life, her pregnancy and make it sexy but a little more conservative.

Maybe she should let go of the notion that she has to be a perfect sex symbol 24/7.. no one REALLY likes perfection. I think people would lighten up on her a little if she showed us some of her IMperfections

Dear Kim: Do you own any MIRRORS in your house? You ARE heavy…….

She is truly an idiot!! You’re pregnant … at some point your waistline is virtually non existent. Cry me a river … you’re growing a baby. I think once she has her child it will help her focus on things that really matter (non of which include “looking sexy” 24-7). Bless her heart.

Well, 2 and 3 sizes too small isn’t attractive either Kim!

Dear Kim: YOU ARE HEAVY—and about to get even WIDER.

As a short, curvy girl… I have to say Kim’s outfit choices just keep getting worse. I understand how challenging it is to flatter a figure like hers but loose clothing is very possible with the right fabrics. A top that drapes nicely will still flatter her figure and worn with skinny jeans shows that you do have a figure (and you’re not just fat) but stuffing yourself into clothes that are too tight just makes you look bigger than you are!

And Kassie… she never achieved any post-secondary certification so she is uneducated.

She always looks like a stuffed sausage because she never picks the right size. Even pregnant it’s all about me, me, me. She’s in for a HUGE wake up call once that baby comes out.

Whatever on February 20th, 2013

of course how you look is far more important than the health and well being of your unborn child.
