Sometimes it helps to see the same piece styled on different body types—and that’s exactly what this post is all about. Kristy and I are sharing everything we wore this month so you can see how the outfits look on both of us.
One of the most common questions we get is how certain pieces fit on different body types. So this month, Kristy and I decided to round up our outfits side-by-side to give you a better feel for how things actually look in real life. We’re different heights and shapes, but we often wear similar pieces—just styled in ways that work for each of us. Here’s everything we wore in April, along with outfit links and sizing notes to help you shop smarter.
One Piece, Two Body Types
White Target sailor jeans
Kristy and I have purchased these Target jeans in multiple versions. We were so excited when Target released them in white for the summer, and we discovered they weren’t see through!! They’re such a great jean that will be a staple in your closet.
We both cut off about 1″ from the hem to make them better for our height.
I wear a size 2, Kristy wears a size 12. Get your true size!

Madewell Perfect Vintage Jeans
I bought these jeans last spring and they instantly became a staple in my closet. I’ve been wearing them ever since, and made Kristy try them this year. She said they’re her new favorite, go-to jean.
We both sized down in these jeans. We’re in a size 25 and 31 in the regular length, and we’re 5’6″.

Kut from the Kloth Denim Dress
We love a good denim dress, and this one is good! It’s a soft, mid-weight denim, and the cut of it is very flattering. It’s definitely more of a dressy denim dress, but you can dress down a bit with sneakers or flats or sandals!
Merrick is in a size XS, Kristy is in a large. Get your true size.

Target striped maxi dress
This is such a comfy everyday dress that’s super affordable! It comes in solid colors, but we both love a stripe!
This dress runs small. I sized up to a small, and Kristy sized up to an XL. We recommend sizing up.

Caslon striped button up shirt
This is a perfect, iconic summer top. A classic, chic button up shirt that you can wear tucked or untucked, with shorts or jeans or trousers or a skirt. It’s so versatile!
Merrick is wearing a size XS, Kristy is wearing a size large. It is true to size.

Kut from the Kloth Linen Pants
If you’re looking for an elevated linen pant, these are fantastic! Most linen pants I’ve tried have a drawstring waist, which makes them feel a little more casual. These have a traditional button and zipper fly, and the cut is like an elevated trouser. They’re so comfortable and soft and come in a few great colors.
I’m wearing a size 2, Kristy is in a 12. We recommend getting your true size. Kut from the Kloth usually runs big, but these are true to size.

We hope this is helpful to see items on two body types! We do a series on instagram every Wednesday called “Wednesday Twinning,” where we share one item on two body types. If you’re looking for more of this, follow along on instagram and don’t miss our stories!
These are by far the best entry to read. I look forward to these, shows in-real-life outfits on real people. Thanks so much.
