One silhouette gets booed more than it gets cheered. This report compares every silhouette on love share, checks each outfit against the others in its own article so the finding is not an article effect, and turns the result into a buy, skip and styling playbook.

Key findings

  • 42% love share for oversized, the only silhouette with more thumbs-downs than loves.
  • 42% of reasons given against oversized outfits were “too frumpy”, against 19% site-wide.
  • 65% love share for wrap dresses, against 58% for all outfits.
  • 52% vs 40% love share for one oversized piece (a coat or jacket) against oversized head to toe.

What’s inside

  • 15-page PDF report, 13 sections
  • Love share and same-article indices for every silhouette, with 95% ranges
  • Robustness checks: both halves of the window, with and without “mistake” articles
  • Waist styling: tucked, belted, wrapped and the half-tuck

  • Dataset: Excel workbook with the full tables

Index numbers compare each outfit with the others in the same article, so a popular article cannot inflate a silhouette. The panel skews US and over 40.
