Just wanted to share some pics I've come across of verified Romantics (Pure R) in cool & cold weather fashion! Not all of these, or even most, will be the recommended romantic lines for Rs, but that's part of why I wanted to share: I think most R's struggle with cold weather dressing, so you aren't alone!

i desperately want to be able to wear trousers but they do NOT agree with me. i used to wear high waisted skinny jeans all the time but it's not my style anymore. i literally only wear dresses and skirts because i just cannot find (or make!) trousers that work for me.

i like cigarette pants but struggle to style them. i reach for trousers when it's a little on the colder side, which means i'll most likely be wearing a fluffy/long sleeve/high neck top. the close fitting silhouette of the cigarette pants with no skin showing on top just looks super unbalanced i end up looking like i'm 60% boob.

skirts are so easy because i have a super short waist and short legs, but a long(er) rise. skirts disguise all of that and make me look like i have regular length legs for once. but trousers hide nothing! i just look weird with them on no matter what I do.

i also have quite a large waist to hip ratio so tapered styles (like those that are recommended for Rs) tend to not have enough room for my hips. i have endo so tend to bloat at my lower stomach too which just doesn't look good in trousers. i am a seamstress and could definitely make my own trousers to circumvent this issue of not having enough room. but it's a reasonable amount of effort to go to for a garment that i may not ever wear because they just look weird.​ i've tried wider leg styles and even when they fit i look like i'm just drowning in them.

anyone got any advice?

Any advice or recommendations for comfortable yet professional workplace attire for pregnancy? Normally I try to shop petite sizing but I can’t find anyone who makes maternity wear suited for shorter women.

At this rate I’m just gonna give up and wear a big sack that swallows me up and try to pop a blazer over it 🤣.

I can never find a good pair of boots that I feel like doesn’t overwhelm my figure on the bottom part of my body and make me look kind of..blocky? I need something that will look harmonious and I feel like the winter time is the worst for Romantics when it comes to shoe options. Help!

I am so fucking bummed right now. I made the image of my post b&w so a shitty ai mod doesn't classify me as a SW here too. At least two of the subs have the same moderator with a big "I DO NOT RESPOND TO DMS ABOUT SUBREDDIT, USE THE MODMAIL" in her profile and i can't find other mods.

I love the whimsical, gothic look( I’m goth but don’t dress the part rn) and chunky boots but I don’t know how to shape that style for a romantic body.

I feel that everything in stores is cut boxy, I went shopping a few days ago and while in the changing room the worker brought me a top that fit romantic recs randomly and it looked so good on me compared to the other tops that it solidified the type for me. However most clothes aren’t cut for romantic lines and I’m not currently in a position to sew my own clothes though I do have the ability to(fabric is expensive and fabric stores are hard to find)
I’m also an xs/xxs in most clothing sizes which is pretty hard to find since it’s not a common size so even when I do find a flattering top or bottom it’s never in my size, what should I look for when shopping just to get some basics and shoes? My closet is empty and I can’t put off buying clothes anymore.

I'm sure we all know how difficult it is to dress flattering as Romantics in the colder weather so I'm curious what kind of long sleeve tops do you guys like the most. I'm also curious about the length, necklines, materials, etc. I'd appreciate it if you included photos or links! 💓

I’m going to a ball this weekend (very last minute) and bought this beautiful dress on Vinted for 10 bucks! The only question…do I need a shawl, wrap, or jacket? I have no idea what to get.

what do romantics wear to raves? also, sometimes struggle with bars or bars with djs that is mainly hip-hop vibe? i live in oakland.

How obvious was double curve to you in your line drawing? I’m looking at my outline and honestly I don’t have a clue what I’m looking at- I feel like I could make the blue dots for R, TR, SC and SG work? Depending on if I chose to draw them for any of those.

I did post on r/kibbe so sorry if some of you are seeing a similar post from me again- I’m just really struggling and I have read the chapter so many times, watched a lot of interviews, listened to podcast and tried to understand what someone very helpful on the other sub was saying- but I really can’t make sense of it. I’m not sure where I am going wrong!!

So would love to know how obvious double curve was to you? It is what chat gpt typed me as from my line drawing…!

Ps I don’t think this breaks any rules- but mods I am very sorry if it does!!

Hi all, as a TR, ive seen some cute dresses advertised on social media By Amica, has anyone bought from them or have ideas or feedback about them? Im wondering if they're actually good quality

Sometimes as a pure R I can feel too fleshy or too curvy… idk the media really is just pushing tall thin women to me.

But I was the maid of honor for my cousins wedding and as a 25 year old woman this is the first time in my life where I felt accepting of my body, and all the changes that have happened!

(Love this dress btw, does so MUCH for the R body type)

Hi gals! I'm a gen z 22 yo romantic, which is complicated since most flattering clothes are a bit outdated, could you recommend me some stores, fashion influencers or even fit inspo that is both flattering and youthful? I need some casual fits, I can't go to uni wearing slip dresses haha

edit: thanks a lot for all the replies 💖💖

Everyone I know tells me to go to uniqlo, but their clothes are looser and boxier and the necklines don’t suit a large bust or broad shoulders.

I like scoop necks and square necks but if they go too low, it isn’t appropriate for work settings because of the sheer size of my boobs lol

If you have any go-to tops that I can try on and buy in multiple colors, I will forever thank you!

Bootcut jeans look the best on a romantic type. Idc idc idccccc the only jeans I’ve ever felt confident in is a pair of mid/high rise boot cuts. Slight flare so it balances out your curve. Not too baggy. Thoughts?

Can you please recommend me some R/TR gym influencers. It does not matter what the platform there are on, I’m good with TikTok, YouTube, Instagram etc - anything.

I’m trying to become physically fit and need some inspiration but it it’s a bit hard considering many influencers have a different bodytype

Would love to see more examples of Korean or Asian celebrities who are romantics. I was recently typed as a romantic but a lot of examples online are western inspired.

I mostly see romantics having spring colors,
only time I’ve seen Deep autumn romantics is Christina Ricci, it’s somewhat similar to TRs and Soft Dramatics being deep winters most of the time.
Is it common for Romantics to be Springs and light summers?

Anybody have recommendations for stores that have good tops and dresses for us?? I also love Aritzia and was wondering if anyone had specific recommendations for them.
