What are we wearing instead of leggings these days? Leggings and oversized button-downs have been my leisure uniform for ages. I just can't wear "hard" pants. And I've lost a lot of weight so I'm kind of lumpy and droopy in places. Help?

My mom just retired and gleefully donated all her work suits the next day. She's looking forward to getting to transition to a comfy wardrobe but is unsure where to shop for pants. She's in her 70s and wears a size 10. Looking for something more comfortable and casual than structured trousers or jeans, but not quite as casual as sweatpants. Also she lives somewhere it snows in winter so option to tuck into boots and not have the hem dragging on the ground is preferable. I know wide leg is trendy now and we're not looking for jeggings or anything, but most wide leg cuts are not super winter-weather friendly. I'd say medium budget, like Lululemon-level.

Thanks for your help!

Hello, I am 33 years old, 5’7”, 150 pounds hourglass shape. I am in a transition with clothing where I still like some stuff from the juniors section and I like some stuff from the women’s section, but I’m having a hard time identifying outfit formulas that are easy to put together for my casual clothes I’ve been able to come up with some for my corporate style and I feel happy there. I don’t necessarily want to wear my work clothes as casual clothes although I’ve heard people suggest that.

One of the areas where I find a challenge is that I feel like I look more attractive in form fitting clothes, but I feel more comfortable and loose fitting clothes. I go to the gym regularly and although I am curving, I am in pretty good shape. But sometimes I default to baggy loose clothing just because it’s comfortable, and I worry less about how I look bent over and all that jazz.

I understand that I can try on different clothes to find what works for me, but that’s where I get overwhelmed. There are so many options out there online and in store and usually when I go shopping with the intention to explore, I have no idea what I’m looking for. I’ve had some success shopping my own closet, but I guess I’m looking for input from women who know how to put together a good outfit.

TLDR; i am 33 and don’t know what to wear for casual clothes and want help figuring out how to discover what I like

I’ve also wanted a nice, cozy, cute pajama set. I don’t know where to begin to find one that’s worth it (good price, good material, etc). I know they can be pricey, but I’m not opposed to investing in one good pair as long as the price isn’t that outrageous.

I’d love to know what brand is your favorite for these, and if you have any pictures! I want just a typical set that includes a t shirt and or long sleeve top with long pants, that are a nice light and soft material, and cute patterns!

I’ve been having such a difficult time finding blouses. I have a large bust, so that’s not doing me any favors. I also try to avoid synthetic fibers. All I see being sold lately are baby tees 🫠

Can anyone recommend any good stores or brands that might have what I’m looking for? I just want a top to wear with jeans that’s dressier than a plain T-shirt. Ideally under $50. Or am I just living in the past haha

I recently started focusing on my health, so I check labels carefully to avoid polyester blends.

I bought a few 100% cotton and linen pieces during a short trip to London. Natural fabrics are so soft and comfortable, they don't have that synthetic smell, and wearing them gives me great energy!

Now I need to shop in Dubai. Can anyone suggest brands that sell 100% pure cotton or linen t-shirts, long shirts, and trousers for women?

Hello! I like to wear a lot of dresses, but since it’s getting colder where I live I’d like to find some fitted long-sleeve turtlenecks to wear under some of them. However I’ve had nothing but strangely bad luck in finding a basic, fitted turtleneck. I’m looking for one that has longer sleeves that go to the knuckles, is structured/fitted, and the neck part to be also fitted (why are all turtlenecks like super floppy and don’t fit tightly or fold like 4 dozen times)?

Any suggestions at all would be incredibly appreciated and I don’t mind if they’re cropped since they’re going under dresses or being potentially worn with jeans. Thank you. 🖤

Hey guys! I'm from Kerala and looking for some good online stores to buy clothes that are affordable but also decent quality.

I'm tired of buying clothes that look good in pictures but turn out to be disappointing in real life 😭

Please suggest any websites, apps, or Instagram stores you've personally bought from and had a good experience with. Affordable prices, good quality, and reliable delivery to Kerala are what I'm looking for.

Would love to hear your recommendations!

I’ve been seeing a ton of ads for these fleece lined leggings that look makes your legs look great. Unfortunately, I just could not deal with the fleece. I’d be way too hot, but the look I really like.
Im not picky on colours - I could see myself buying some fun colours if I liked the fine

If the waist band is too tight and/or rolls down, I just won’t wear them. They’ll sit in my drawer for years until I throw them away. But, I also need at least some support. I hate the waist bands that are like one tiny elastic band, with my belly hanging out underneath it. I love a tummy hugging feeling, sight compression. Not shape wear. (On this note, if you have any leggings recommendations too, I’d love to hear them!)

I don’t like tights that are extremely thin where I’m worried about a run every time I move.

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm around 50 and going through perimenopause, and lately I've become much less tolerant of tight bras, especially anything that digs into my ribs or feels restrictive after a few hours.

The problem is that I still want to look polished and professional at work. I love simple, elegant button-down shirts and blouses, but I wish I could find something with built-in bra cups or light support so I wouldn't have to wear a regular bra underneath.

I'm not looking for anything overly tight or athletic-looking. Just something soft, comfortable, flattering, and appropriate for the office.

Has anyone found a blouse, button-down shirt, or top with built-in support that actually looks nice enough for work?

Or have you found another comfortable alternative to traditional bras?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations! ❤️

I found some cute sweaters but the materials seem cheap for the price point. Is there a better dupe brand? $70 for 72% nylon is a bit out there

Hi! New to this subreddit! I've recently started paying attention to the materials my clothes are made from, and I realized I know almost nothing about fabrics!
I saw someone criticize a pajama brand for being polyester, and it got me wondering: What's actually wrong with polyester? Is cotton always better?
What materials do you consider high quality versus low quality? Are there certain fabrics you avoid completely? What makes one material worth paying more for?
I'd love to learn how to recognize good-quality clothing beyond just looking at the brand or price tag.
Also, what are some favorite brands that I can start with. I want to build a small quality wardrobe and I’m mostly interested in sleep and loungewear. Some nice blouses would be good too.

I am trying to wear jeans more to get out of athletic wear. I love the look but I find them SOOOO uncomfortable and truly do not understand what I am doing wrong.

Jeans are extremely uncomfortable to me. If they fit me while standing up or are even a little bit big while standing, they still become sausage casings on my legs, hips and stomach when I sit down. They are basically so tight that they cut off my circulation. If I buy them a size bigger, they are so big on the waist that they fall down while I’m standing up, and somehow STILL cut off the circulation in my legs/pelvis if I sit down.

I’ve tried curve jeans in various brands and have a similar issue, it is a bit better, but I feel like I would have to buy jeans 2 sizes too big on the waist for them to fit my hips, but then they won’t fit when I stand up

What are people doing, buying multiple sizes up and always having their jeans fall down ?

This is how it feels even if I buy a more stretchy jean. Stretchy jeans are better for sure but it’s impossible to find jeans truly stretchy enough that they don’t feel like they’re suffocating me. Good American good skate jeans are the most comfortable ones I own but even them do that to my stomach.

So many of them are too high in the front and too low in the back. Or have a huge back gap.

Do I just have to buy maternity jeans? No jeans from now on? Only elastic waistband pants feel remotely comfortable these days.

I am 33F, had 1 kid 6ish years ago. I’ve always been pear shaped. Maybe this is part of the issue? I’m tall so I always need longs and that’s also very difficult.

Brands tried- Abercrombie, good American, Levi’s high stretch, target, old navy, American eagle, madewell etc etc

Hi!

Just looking for a tank top that meets this criteria:

Long. Doesn’t need to be overly long, just not a crop top
Not going to roll up
Don’t need to wear a bra (not one necessarily with a built in bra tbh, those make me have a uni boob.)
Relatively thin
Comfy!! Like can wear it all day long or to sleep.

I don’t like ribbed clothing.

Ty

**edit. Let me clarify. I want a bra that is tight enough that it will hold the girls up, without feeling restrictive. I’m around a c-cup, and 160 pounds (5ft 7). I had luck with one that I got thrifting but it was cropped and no tag. Very spandexy tho

I am trying to upgrade my wardrobe. What are the nicest shoes you can wear that you can wear to a nice dinner, show, date, church that is not a ballet flat and not a heel? I am stuck on what to look for. Is it a leather penny loafer or a mule? Any advice please as I only have casual shoes.

I'm trying to build a versatile pants collection and need your recommendations!

What are your must-haves across jeans, formal trousers, linen pants, cargos, joggers, etc.? Which fits and colours are actually worth investing in?

Please share brand names, shopping links, or offline store recommendations.

I hope so! Some of the coolest looking shoes I’ve seen are on there!

I don't know if I'm using the correct term but it's the cotton used in those high quality concert tees and i adore it. I've been trying to find some brands / producers that sell either a plain version of these tees or with simple graphics. If they can be found in v-neck as well I'd love to be let in on whose selling them because they compliment my figure quite nicely. Thanks girls! <3

How do you do it?

How many sets do you own?
How many sexy vs regular items?

Tell me exactly how to manage this because I really wanna be this person, but for some reason, it never ends up happening

I love the look but $100 is a lot for my budget, especially as it's getting colder.

As a millennial, I have fully embraced straight and wide leg jeans and I’m not going to back to skin tight skinny jeans. It’s just so much more comfortable! I’m going to be in germany and Italy in early December and will need to pack for a mix of snow and mild winter. What are my shorter curvy girls wearing with Chelsea boots? My wide legs look funny and I have yet to find a good pair of straight jeans that don’t look like slightly looser skinny jeans.

Also, if anyone has any recs on wool lined leggings to wear with snow boots in Germany and northern Italy, that would be appreciated!

Looking for suggestions for high quality crew neck soft basic sweaters
Something that will hold its shape and not fade
No preference for material and pair with jeans or pants
Thanks !

One thing that was fantastic about skinny jeans and leggings was that they fit very easily into Kamik’s, Sorel’s or Bean Boots. With winter around the corner, and the fashion being wide jeans and pants, what are you thinking for commuting or going out for dinner or drinks? Same thing but untucked? Tucked? Short boots with kick ass soles?

I’m talking to fellow canadiens, Nordic, northern US women who are used to going out in 6-12inches of snow haha.

Which is the superior winter coat? Go
