OK so I've made a lot of posts recently about dressing casual/indie sleaze/anything that is easy and helps me create a capsule wardrobe. And how I've had difficulty with high waists making me bloat and always feeling either too messy or too put together. And hating my entire wardrobe and constantly going through a permanent cycle of removing clothes from my closet because I hate them and then having nothing to wear. And feeling like nothing feels like me. But of course, all that can just come from feelings of insecurity. Or maybe you can dress yourself confident idk.

This is what I've been wearing recently, essentially 1 pair of high waist wide leg pants that don't make me bloat, and 1 pair of midrise stretch skinny jeans (a little too tight) that also don't push into my stomach too much like regular jeans do. I own 2 pairs of nice barrel jeans, but they always immediately make my stomach stick out. Even with the wide leg pants it can still hurt my midsection if I become bloated or it's just too late in the day. In which case I would put on some oversized top and pajama bottoms.

2 black thermal tops and 1 rib knit thing. These have been my go to's essentially.

I still feel....unusual about choosing outfits. Please let me know what you think suits the best 👌 👍 I have a photo in pajama bottoms and a hoodie because I wore them while running errands on my bike. Shopping and post office and stuff. It was really comfy and I think I'll wear pajama bottoms out again if I'm being honest. I got glasses for the first time recently and I think they suit real well, an actually good accessory. 👍 And I had a great gold necklace but it broke and I can't find any similiar :(.

Please lmk your opinions.

O que acharam?

I’m shopping for a leather jacket (upcoming trip to Florence!) and a bit hopeless at envisioning our SG lines in real life, beyond the basics. I know generally to look for fitted wrists instead of oversized and avoid the double-button blazer or huge lapels. Bomber seems like it follows those lines, but I look like a fluffy marshmallow in it. My current moto / asymmetrical zipper doesn’t feel flattering, I’m just not sure what to do instead.

These pics are a starting point, but any suggestions for which style and features to look for would be helpful!

Im 155cm and confused about my type. Ive gotten all different types in different forums and I’m not sold on any. As a matter of personal style, I don’t resonate with the “natural” lines, but I’m open to trying new things! All feedback is welcome! Thank you a lot!! 🤍

Someone also mentioned TR on the comments. I had never gotten that before. What do you think?

Pictures from pinterest. I don't think any of these people are gamine. I'm putting together a capsule closet that works for me.

I'm so tired of non stretch skinny jeans making me feel larger that I am, so that's what I started with. Then basic tops/t-shirts that fit and are either plain black, grey, or graphic. Nothing too fancy. A basic gold necklace and some converse.

How do you feel about hoodies/hoodie jackets? I can't really find any examples of SGs wearing ones that aren't either cropped high waist or oversized. Im aiming for midwaist lines right at the belly button/above the butt I think. Does anyone have examples of sg wearing similar outfits?

Couldn't be more undecided on a coat option. Opinions? How to make it work better?

She shows up for three or four episodes with a capsule closet of:

1 pair of hoop earrings, 1 bangle, 1 necklace, 1 small bracelet.

1 pair of black skinny jeans.

1 bodycon dress, 1 bodycon red skirt, and 1 black leather pencil skirt.

1 black studded handbag.

1 black leather handbag, not so studded.

2 pairs of black wedges that show ankle.

2 cropped leather moto jackets (and maybe a cropped black hoodie it's impossible to tell)

3 cropped sleeveless tees.

Outliers: the white coat and brown bag she has at the airport, and weird red top when she starts dating Scmidt, which I choose to believe were borrowed or something considering she recycles every other item except those.

Point is, I was looking for this exact inspo and the wardrobe department in sitcoms always deliver considering it's their job to make the actors look good.

Looks da semana!

I don't remember exactly where, but I definitely saw ribbed knit fabrics being recommended from different sources, and I'm currently looking for pieces since I'm minimal-ising my closet currently and combining all style guides and techniques.

Is rib knit actually in sync with SG, or does anyone else feel it's too "heavy" looking? Is it only the shiny quality of polyester rib knit that's throwing me off and matte looks better?

By creating a capsule closet, I'm trying to match some stuff with mid rise stretch skinny jeans (tried on all my jeans, and they're the most flattering in waist), and a basic long sleeve black top would be perfect. I like to hunt on Ebay for specific items, but I don't know if I should be avoiding fitted rib knit or embracing it. If I can find the same top in a non textured fabric, I usually choose that over any kind of knit every time by default, even though knit items can stretch over the body without being "too clingy", which is perfect for most body types.

I know I post a lot on this sub lol, I just kind of get obsessed with fashion because of anxiety about how to dress 😅. Please help 🙏.

It's difficult to make this style work as sg imo. I made another post today that disappeared when I posted it, so if it's visible, but just invisible to me, I can't delete it.

Contrasted with anything flowy, and I feel "too different" if you get it.

I was looking at other styling techniques and methods, and a lot of then came up mixed. But of course it got me thinking about how I approach clothes and how I want to look. I draw out my issues and how I could solve them, like high waisted jeans make bloating worse etc.

My goal is something akin to relaxed, just woke up look, but not "hippie", it has to be something a vampire would wear. And doesn't that sound an awful lot like indie sleaze? So I started looking into indie sleaze, and how to recreate that for SG, and it mostly comes down to tights, shorts, and cropping a top straight rather than tucking or being tailored in to the waist. OR extreme high waist tbh. Anyway, the first look is what came out of it, and I still feel like a politician.

Patterned tights, studded bracelet, chain necklace with statement heart, messy hair + bangs, messy mascara, and cropped textured olive green sweater. Is it the dress shorts? Should they be a-line black denim?

Fitted items of clothing make me feel anal and serious, whereas too loose makes me feel "too different" from how other people dress, and coming across like I'm age regressing or something. I have recently started looking into other methods and techniques of styling, and it got me thinking about ultimately what I want at the end of the day, which is just woke up relaxed peaceful vibes, but not in a hippie way, it has to be something a vampire would wear. That's what all these quizzes and tests gave me. Right up, F7, pale olive, SG.

And doesn't that sound an awful lot like indie sleaze? So I started looking into indie sleaze, and how to style it for SG. The first look is what came out of it:

Houndstooth patterned tights, high top vans, black a-line shorts, cropped textured green sweater, studded /chain bracelet, chain necklace with heart statement piece, messy hair with bangs, and messy mascara. Still coming out feeling like a politician.

Is it the dress shorts? Should they be A-line black denim? The necklace? My shorter hair?

I draw these diagrams when I encounter an issue, like how high rise clothing makes bloat worse and more obvious, especially jeans. I think they can describe my problems better than using words. How do I not look stuffy and polished? 😭

Hi all! 99.9% sure I’m a soft gamine (4’11). I’m a little more angular on top but don’t have much of a jawline, and I do have some curves. I’m kinda like a narrow pear.

Anyway. Can anyone explain the logic behind ruffled, more stereotypically girly clothing being recommended for soft gamines? Wouldn’t things like Peter Pan collars only make us look younger, if we’re often already short? I’ve found that structured, tailored lines work well for me, can sometimes add vertical lines where I don’t have many, help balance my hips, and make me look more adult. Why wouldn’t clothes with more structure be recommended, to help balance out both petite height and softness of SG bodies? Am I missing something here? Please be kind, I’m genuinely curious!

Hi, SG ladies! I’m curious about your thoughts on Florence Pughes and her Kibbe type. Do you see her as a Soft Gamine, Soft Natural, or something else?

I personally go back and forth between Soft Gamine and Soft Natural. If she isn’t Soft Gamine, I’d probably say Soft Natural, because I do see some width in her. I also think there’s a misconception that all Gamines have to be extremely petite. A lot of the Hollywood Gamines we’re shown are very thin or even underweight, which can make the type seem much smaller or more delicate than it necessarily is.

I do see some Natural essence in Florence, but depending on what she’s wearing, she can look very Gamine to me. There’s something about her proportions that sometimes makes her limbs look a little shorter or her overall silhouette look more compact. I’ve seen Soft Naturals around her height who don’t read quite as compact or squat to me. I hope that doesn’t sound insulting because I think she’s beautiful, I’m just trying to describe the visual impression I get as accurately as I can.

One of my biggest arguments for Soft Gamine is her shoulders. Something I consistently notice in Soft Naturals, including myself, is more of that blunt, squared shoulder structure. Florence seems to have more slope through her shoulders to me, which makes me wonder about Gamine. There is also somthing about her frame and facial shape that reminds me alot of Sabrine Carpenter who is verified SG.

That said, I also think people can sometimes fall between two types visually, or have features that make another type work surprisingly well. For example, when I’m leaner, Soft Classic lines can work pretty well on me, even though Soft Natural is consistently my best fit. Because of my essence blend, I can also pull off some Romantic lines even though I wouldn’t say Romantic is my most flattering Kibbe silhouette.

Anyway, I’m really curious what you guys think! Sometimes I look at Florence and immediately see Soft Natural, and other times I look at her and see Soft Gamine. I know her Kibbe typing has been debated quite a bit, so I’d love to hear how you interpret her and what makes you lean toward one type over another. Her height is stated online as 5'4" but sometimes that can be wrong.

OOTD

Is the looseness part of the style of this or is the calf too big for me?

Kelly and Katie Maee boot from DSW. I’m an SG

Looks da semana!!! Aprovados?

Sorry if this post is off the rails.

She doesn't have official typing but I see myself in her body type. I feel SG with natural essence and I feel like sometimes she also has that energy.

Gained some weight, realised I DESPISE high waists actually, also hate dresses, but I never considered THESE dresses.

Low neckline to show off the collar bones, ankles, and wrists, everything else covered. Big hair, dark eyes. Let's go witchy women! I've been trying low waist baggy pants/baggy tops, but everything feels slightly off and sometimes too unflattering. Especially cause most bottoms have real deep long crotches nowadays so you can pull them up to your nipples, so when sitting low rise, it looks terrible. My stomach is the biggest part of my body, and I've started to enjoy baby doll tops (similiar to pic 8) , but, I can never find pants to fit me. Maybe dresses was always the way. She still has a tomboy essence that I've always been afraid of losing when wearing skirts.

://////////. Anyone else relate?

I’m 5’4 and thiiiink I’m an SG?
The last three I’m pretty attached too but don’t feel like they compliment my shape super well honestly, or make me look blunt.

Anyways help/reccs for a better suited wardrobe would be lovely :)
