I too am a Natural Flamboyant and feel amazing in jumpsuits - which aligns to a broader shape with verticality. Now I've got to geek out and find my season. Thanks for thinking outloud about aesthetics/feeling good vs male gaze and cultural pressures - I noodle on this all the time - especially with two daughters.
YES! Jumpsuits are just ... the best. Any particular brand you like for jumpsuits? So glad this was helpful food for thought re: conversations about the male gaze
I've found most of mine second-hand, but the one I purchased new (and love the most) is from Athleta. It's sleeveless but doesn't chaff my inner arms like most. I've worn it business-casual, to the pool with kids, golfing, hiking, to the rodeo, etc. and it somehow morphs to every occasion. Perfection.
