pouchy
Having drooping folds
Pouchy describes something that has or resembles a pouch—a small bag or baglike structure.
It most often characterizes flesh that sags or bulges, particularly the skin under the eyes: He looked tired, with pouchy circles beneath his eyes.
The word can also describe fabric or clothing that hangs loosely or bags outward.
Pouchy carries mild negative connotations when applied to appearance, suggesting fatigue, age, or being out of shape.
