When is it appropriate to say that a garment looks “flattering.”

I just witnessed hearing the word “flattering” in a compliment and as such a compliment. Recently, I’ve continued to hear it in my words. In one scenario, a friend complimented someone on their new shirt by saying that it “looked very flattering. Personally, I still like to hang around a lot of engineers… and obviously not to be influenced by them. If I wanted to appear nice and ask for a compliment, I would be happy. I don’t like to be criticized but I will be. When claiming a piece of clothing as “flattering,” I always interpret the statement as meaning that the garment made the person look good in spite of himself, as though it’s hiding physical flaws or somehow compensating for an otherwise unfortunate appearance.

If he needed a review in a typical job interview, I might ask him to look with a photo of his trousers a few times and was really upset that it looked bad on him, I would ask him for that. Then I might ask for feedback. Under such a situation I might say “Don’t worry, they really are very flattering..!” “But as a casual compliment? At best, this sounds tone def and at worst, sounds like a catty mean-girls insult.

When I’m talking to someone of the opposite sex, how can I imagine if I say it to them? If I’m tired of living, only if I’m tired of living, would I try to compliment a woman by saying “her dress looks very flattering. Is it true that her dress “looks great? ” Yes, “Nice?” fine; but flattering? I wouldn’t be able to survive without a mouth-guard. I always tried to protect my teacups and mouth-guards between my mouth and my mouth.

What is stack exchange? Am I missing out on a charming compliment or adhering to prudent word-choice (and maybe even basic self-preservation)?

What is the best way to describe to every individual/person that can help you in any way?
