I think they look healthy but masculine. The average man would not prefer that in bed.

It's a lot harder for overweight people to look put together.

I think a major contributing factor is that it's much harder for overweight people to find clothes that fit properly. And when they do, they are rarely cut in a flattering way (e.g. big boxy shirts instead of tailored shirts).

To me, aside from the obvious things like cleanliness, the biggest factor is wearing properly fitted clothes. I don't care how much you spend on your clothes, if they don't fit they will look frumpy. When I lived in DC, I can't tell you how frequently I saw shorter women wearing pants that dragged on the ground or curvier women (who were generally not particularly overweight) wearing pants that fit their waist but pulled at their hips/butts to the point where it looked like the fabric would tear.

Tailoring is key, but people are reluctant to do it for whatever reason. Celebrities (and people like Michelle Obama) pretty much get every single thing they wear tailored. I even remember reading an article about Kate Middleton getting clothes tailored when she was pregnant. Whatever you think of these people's personal style, they pretty much always look put together.

After the basics of well-fitted clothes, I think the next thing that helps is footwear. Heels or nice flats will always look more "put together" than sneakers (though I love my sneakers).

Britney is just white trash. There's no hope for her.

Jennifer Garner is interesting because she is tall, super fit and muscular, beautiful face but she still manages to look frumpy!

You get this right?

Gwyneth, Olivia P and Reese still look fairly frumpy to me in those pics. But those looks are definitely better than the sweats and yoga pants that plague the nation.

Reece looks frumpy because she's slightly overweight (or at least not thin) and her shirt is wrinkled.

Gwenyth and Olivia look great though super casual. I think these are actually great photos for showing you what thinness can do for you.

I don't think she is a good example of a lady who is "put together". She is more like "too much efforts".

That's too much effort? It's basic matching outfits that any of us could put together on a given day. Outfit one is a top, some jeans, a statement necklace and voila! dressed. Cute. Pulled together.
