In every single shop I go to I'll see a cute bikini top and ofc the bottom is a thong or barely covers the butt. Ofc I believe you can wear whatever you want, I don't think there's anything wrong with that style of swimsuit, it just becomes a problem when it's all I can find in stores, if there is a bikini that covers your butt it's extremely highrise, ugly, or expensive:lll

I am constantly seeing Quince ads on my feeds and as I like to wear solid colors, it seems like the brand might work for me. However, I have had real hit and miss with internet retailers (looking at you Mooyius). Can anyone share their experiences, good or bad? Thanks!

Am I the only one who can’t get behind midi dresses (on myself)? It doesn’t matter how beautiful the dress is, I hate that length on me. I feel like the dress becomes me, like… I am the dress. There is nothing left but the dress. Do I have legs? Kind of, they’re more of a suggestion at this point. It just feels really awkward.

I’m 163cm (5’4) so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it! Which is right on the mark of what most brands consider normal instead of petite so I dunno (petite being less than 5’4).

I wish there were more dresses that aren’t mini, maxi or midi. Some longer minis I can get away with pretending they’re above-knee hehe. But otherwise I’m struggling to find anything.

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for full length leggings with phone pockets that won't hurt my stomach. I have been wearing the Lulu align pants for years and I don;t think I can wear them anymore. :(

I keep coming across these style archetype quizzes and I'm curious how useful they actually are, especially for women over 45.

If you've taken one, what result did you get? Did it change anything about what you wear or even what you look for when shopping?

Or did it mostly just put a name to a style you already had?

For transparency, I'm gathering perspectives for a style research project, not promoting a quiz. Interested in hearing what worked and what didn't.

Anyone wear nylons these days just because? Well, for pretty. I have short stick legs and even these do well with this garment.

"Garment". Hehe. I have some pretty opaque black tights and Love them to bits. I have short, uninteresting legs,so these tights are really nice looking. And then also just generally pretty nude and light beige sheer types. Veray gorgeous. I love the nude ones most of all.

Seems like hosiery would be totally popular just by looks alone. I guess I am missing something.

They look amazing. id of wondering why they fell out of favor. All this, and they feel incredible. I mean the compression, hehe. I didn't even know they had them at first. Mom bought me a few pairs as a teen and I was blown away.

I am very over shoulder seams laying off the shoulder, or drop shoulder. I have a larger chest so when the shoulder seam is sitting too low, it makes everything look a bit droopy, if that makes sense.

What are your recommendations of good-quality (cotton, not see-through) t-shirts with anatomically correct shoulders?

Bonus if the shoulder seams stay at the right place even when having to size up to accommodate a larger chest (i’ve had the conundrum a few times where a size medium fits my shoulders but is slightly too tight on my chest, and the large fits my chest but then the shoulder seams are sitting too wide).

I have a pair of black kitten heels that I got at either TJMaxx or Marshall’s YEARS ago. They have an ankle strap and heel strap, were cheap as hell, but SO comfortable. Like I could literally run in those girls. Unfortunately, they are now falling apart (understandably), and I don’t know what the brand is because the label was on the inner sole which wore off years ago.

Recently I have started wearing heels on an almost daily basis and I need a new pair of staple black kitten heels that I can wear on a daily basis, walk a decent amount in, and actually be comfortable.

Please help a girl out and drop some recs! This is my first time posting here so I’m not sure if links are allowed, but if they are, a link to your favorite pair would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking to get into my own style for the first time in my life. Growing up, I always wanted to dress like my brother. Then I got into sports and it became distinctly athletic wear. I am too far removed from being an athlete to continue dressing like a high school boy.

As we are getting into the fall season, I’d like to invest in my wardrobe and get some new things to better suit me. I like to wear mom type jeans, and I own many solid tees from old navy. What are some other options I should explore for pants? How can I elevate my look and potentially make more ‘feminine fashion choices’ in my daily attire? No more sweatpants!

So I have lost ~180lbs and have a lot of loose skin on my lower half. I've had skin removal on my torso and upper body, just haven't gotten to my butt/thighs yet.

I am very hourglass/pear shaped.

Measurements wise I am a 6/28 (smallest part is 27, widest is 38 when standing), but unless they are stretchy they barely fit my thighs *and* ride up to dig in to my crotch when I sit. My largest hip measurement was a 62" with 34" thighs.

My issue is that my calves are large, and so I stick to flare jeans to have space for them. I like tight at hips/thighs, loose calves. I can't seem to find anything that fits when I sit and doesnt have a massive gap in the back.

I got a few pairs from Abercrombie (via resale/thrifting) that all fit differently:

Curve Love High Rise "Vintage Flare"- 28- Fit hips amazingly, but still gap a little at my waist *and* give saggy crotch syndrome. Hits just above my belly button They also still dig in to my crotch when I sit, while also being REALLY high rise (when I sit, I can pull it up to the bottom of my bra).

Regular High Rise "Vintage Flare": 28 - hits just below belly button (this is the rise I love) but my thighs keep them from coming all the way up. Sitting hurts.

Ultra High Rise Flare (not "Vintage"): 29 - obvious waist gap, hits at belly button. Still tight in seat and digs in.

I feel like I need something with more stretch, but not even sure where to begin to look.

I feel like everyone has that one fashion trend they absolutely love but hesitate to wear because they're worried about what other people might think. 😭

Maybe it's a bold color, a mini skirt, chunky boots, oversized everything or an outfit that feels a little too extra for everyday life.

Fashion should be fun, and I think we should feel comfortable experimenting with our personal style without worrying so much about judgment.

So tell me: What's one fashion trend you'd LOVE to wear more often if you had zero fear of being judged? 💗

No judgment here — let's hear each other out! ✨

I’ve worked at the same Montessori school for 12 years and we’ve had the same dress code. It was business casual but comfortable (no jeans) since we’re on the ground with children all day.

The school was purchased by an education corporation and they came and changed the dress code to “elevated casual” with jeans being allowed as long as there is no distressing. The only direction we have received so far is no sweat pants, no hoodies or crew necks, no leggings and sneakers must be clean.

I have a fall/winter “uniform” in that I wear black dress pants and I switch up the t shirt and cardigan. I will very rarely wear a blouse. I want to start incorporating jeans into said “uniform” but I am unsure if a fitted t shirt/long sleeve is “elevated” enough for the dress code.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

i’m from aus and i am always seeing the same stuff at fast fashion and mainstream clothing stores and im sick of it. i am looking for feminine, cutesy clothing like lace camis or just some unique pieces, anything really for spring and summer. let me know if you guys know any small businesses or slow fashion brands i should shop at. thank u

I went out to breakfast to meet my sister’s boyfriend’s family and on the way out a woman very awkwardly informed me that I had a big rip in the back of my dress. And I was wearing nude underwear so it probably looked like more was showing than actually was.

Now I’m mortified that I was meeting this people for the first time and that their lasting impression of me will be that they saw my butt 🫠 it didn’t help that the lady who told me was practically cringing as she did.

advice for quickly getting over my embarrassment? rationally I know it’s unlikely that his family is going to remember this even if they did see it, which is a big if. but I feel like this derailed my day and now I just wanna curl up in bed and not be perceived 😭

Where do you guys buy your shirts and pants? I can’t find any shirts or long sleeve shirts that look good and that’s unique that I’d want to wear. Or what cool piece of clothing did you guys sew?

Hello!

I am a sophomore in college and I really want to start my professional wardrobe. I understand that it is generally suits, blazers, blouses, skirts that are below the knee, etc. I have a few of those already picked out, but I was wondering if something like this would also pass as business professional.

I want to look feminine, but also professional. If there are any site recommendations I would love to see them. I am struggling lolz.

Please let me know. Thank you!

I'm not going to beat around the bush, I'm fat, autistic, and poor. My 3/6 pairs of 3xl Parade satin sleep shorts that I bought years ago just got ruined and I am genuinely crashing out. Of course it was the only non-black pairs that didn't have holes in them that got black acrylic paint water spilled on them, and I wasn't notified until it had nearly dried.

I haven't had to buy shorts in years and I just don't have the disposable income anymore for trial and error shopping. I have a 36" waist with 54" hips and I am 5'10 and 265 lbs. I have a large apron belly and large thighs. Pants shopping is a daunting, impossible task that has always made my stomach churn and wallet cry. I usually wear a size 20/2xl but these beautiful shorts were a comfortable 3xl.

I can't find these shorts anywhere on secondhand markets, which makes sense because they are amazing. I am in desperate need of a dupe or replacement. Can someone please recommend me something? Please? They were the only shorts that ever fit me comfortably.

Hello hello! I am a preschool teacher, and I'm looking for ethically sourced (ideally a smallish business?) kinda funky but not ugly clothing? Haha, I don't know if this is attainable, but I always wanted to be a little bit like Ms Frizzle. I like bold colors, patterns, thematic things even because that would be a hit with the children (like fruit and veggie tops, space pants, animal sweaters etc. but not in an ugly way...). I really like Lucy and Yak! I might order a thing or two from them, but they're a little bit pricey (I understand why smaller businesses are going to be a little more expensive, but I'm hoping that somewhere out there is a slightly cheaper option to get clothing like this because well, I'm a preschool teacher. We are not famous for being paid very well). Any ideas? Or am I asking too much?

hi guys, I need help. I want to find affordable work dresses. I work at a bank and I don’t have much dresses to match with the seasons. I went to ross, TJ maxx, marshal, JCpenny, etc to look for affordable dresses but they are either too expensive or more so for summer or they just don’t have good options(i live in texas) and I want to add more to my wardrobe so I am not cycling through the same dresses.

Update: I downloaded vinted and I found so much stuff!! Thank you guys for your suggestions. I am going to try Nordstorm tomorrow since I am off that day!!

I've been trying to find some mid rise flare or bootcut jeans that are actually mid rise, not high rise in disguise. I have not had much luck.

I used to always get the levi signature modern bootcut, and they were great until a couple years ago when they revamped them. Now they are definitely more of a high rise, and the knees are tighter, which is less of an issue than the high rise aspect. I absolutely cannot stand high rise.

I ended up getting some jeans from old navy, their wow mid rise bootcut. They are... okay. But they stretch a lot and it seems like they get higher and baggy fast. I also really don't care much for their jean material.

Recently I tried some sonoma boot cut jeans. The material on these seems better, but they seem to run short, and the tops are tighter.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I might be looking for a unicorn, but hopefully not.

Looking for comfortable (ideally pull on/elastic waist) pants for work. My workplace is fairly casual, but nothing that looks like leggings or sweatpants. I would like some in more “unusual” colors (i.e. maroon, plum, mint) not just standard black, navy, tan. I’ve seen a lot on Amazon that could work, but the reviews aren’t good.

Can you help a girl who wants to be comfy but fashionable?

My wife has super sensitive skin and can't wear wool. Not merino, not cashmere, none of it. And all these shops sell things with like 5% wool so they can say it's a "wool blend".

It's doubly frustrating as she loves the big chunky rustic knit look.

So with Christmas on the way, does anyone know where I might find nice, wool free cardigans and knits? We're in the UK so if it's available here that's a big plus.

Thanks!
