Does anyone have a pleated skirt like this? How do you ensure that it remains the same shape?
No. 183370
>>183366If it's a fabric like that the other anon is right, you don't really have to do anything and it will usually keep its shape.
With sturdier natural fabrics you might want to iron the pleats in the proper place after washing the skirt in order to keep them that way. Either way, the pleats on long skirts like that will be less tight/noticeable towards the bottom just because it moves around more and needs the extra width to accomodate to your legs and stuff while walking. But there's no real way around that.

No. 183387
>>183382Depop is still pretty overpriced most of the time. If you want truly cheap secondhand clothes you need to go to secondhand sites that aren't exclusively for fashion, especially trendy fashion. I use European sites so idk what to recommend besides Ebay but basically the more literal garbage you have to sift through before you find something you like the higher the chances of getting what you want for dirt cheap.
On sites like Depop most people who use it will already be aware of how much they can ask for their stuff. Big generic sites is where people who are clueless about the secondhand value of their items go. IRL thrift stores are the same way, it's the difference between Goodwill and a place calling itself a 'vintage boutique'.
No. 183423
>>183388does "cancer" just mean "not cool and pretty like depop"? yeah baby, you and everyone else thinks that, that's why stuff is 5x the price on depop. Depop sellers legit buy stuff off ebay to sell on depop and make 5x their money, that's how cheap ebay is. Like do you think depoppers just find all that cool stuff themselves? No, they mostly buy it off of ebay, take nicer pictures, and resell. It's a legitimate service because finding the good stuff on ebay takes time most people dont have. But if you want to cut out the middleman go to ebay yourself. Basically on depop ypure always paying the "cool tax".
Ebay hints: in the search sidebar tick "buy it now" only because auctions suck, restrict it to your region to remove international results, and be prepared to scroll like 100 pages. Ypu can try using the search's size filters and stuff but most ebay sellers dont use them right so I wouldn't.
No. 183426
>>183423This. It's a sacrifice you need to be willing to make; either you spend the time and effort needed to scroll through a huge amount of listings in exchange for possibly finding a gem, or you decide it's not worth the effort for you and you buy from more expensive but also more user friendly sites.
Yeah, it can suck, but basically everything that makes ebay sucky, like the search filters being useless and half of the listings being the same chinese stock photos, is also what makes it such a promising place to look.
Personally I'm the type to scan every single page for hours on end because the thrill of finding good shit is worth it to me. I can't stand the thought that what I want could be just around the corner so I can do that shit for a really long time. It's really a matter of personal preference, you either have convenience but at a higher price, or a pain in the ass website for a lower price. Either is fine, but if you're outright asking for places to look and then dismissing the most viable options there isn't much else to do about it.

>>183426Uh no. I have used ebay for work and I have looked there before. I am not a fan of it. Depop is easier if you know how to use their search, it's not a cooler than ebay. It's a fucking website ffs. I don't like shifting through Ebay's layout and through million of stock photos. Not to mention, bidding is something I genuinely don't have time for because I have a life. Most of their listing is bidding if they are not bidding they around the same price on depop only some of the ebay listing are just straight stocks. That is my criticism.
Depop has a better layout and easier to deal with basic things like messaging. I can't imagine scrolling a shit load through ebay. Sure, ebay has them like what maybe 40$ cheaper but I don't have the time to win bids.

>>183466…ok? So you won't use ebay because it's ugly and not fun? We know that, you said that already. But why are you asserting that ebay isn't much cheaper than depop, when at the same time saying you won't scroll through ebay? If you haven"t done the scrolling, you haven"t found the deals. There's no need to look at auctions, literally filter them out. Like, take the advice or don't, but don't call other people wrong when you literally don't know what you're talking about.
I'm sensing though that the real issue here is that you are shopping on your phone only, in which case, stop doing that or expect a shitty time. In addition to the "cool tax" on depop you're also paying the "people who only use they phone" tax. Yeah the ebay app is probably crap lmao I wouldn't know. Being an adult, I use websites and not apps.
The simple logic is, it's easier for people to list something on ebay and more unpleasant for buyers on ebay, therefore there's more sellers and fewer buyers and prices are therefore lower. The opposite is true on depop.

money isn't an issue: There's (designer) brands like Stella McCartney, Reformation and Armed Angels that are sustainable. Here's a helpful website to find brands:
https://www.fairify.io/ You can search for a brand and it has a rating + report on why it is/n't sustainable.
I must say, the label sustainable always remains a bit, uncertain? I can't find the right word. For example, Acne Studios is claimed to be sustainable because it's part of the Fair Wear Foundation which ensures that labor standards are high and adhered to but at the same time they're not transparant about what factories they're using. Often times a brand is sustainable or is working towards more sustainable practices in one area, for example paying living wages for their workers while neglecting other areas for example environmental impact.

I really miss low rise pants. I know many people find them trashy but I find them a lot more comfortable than high and mid rise. I wear harem pants down low around the house but I was wondering if any of you nonas have found some good quality low rise that could be worn in public (besides thrifting/ebay)? Whenever I search for low rise I only get results for high waist pants and I hate that shit, but I know it has to exist somewhere because picrel is recent and doesn't look thrifted.
No. 183610
>>183586The pants those women are wearing are designed to be high or mid rise, you can tell by the length of the crotch seam and the fabric bunching up at the ankle. They're just wearing a bigger size and styled them to sit low at the hips to get that relaxed silhouette. The woman on the right has even folded the waistband over (a risky choice imo, if the rest of the look isn't well-coordinated a folded waistband is going to look really frumpy. The outfit in the pic is tied together by the crisp white shirt, clean trainers, fairly delicate jewellery, fresh hair/makeup, and a bangin body, that's why it works).
Just get a pair of classic cut jeans or trousers with a wider waist than your actual measurements, let them sit where they would naturally fall around the width of your hips. The beige trousers in the pic look like Dickies which are affordable, lightweight work pants. I recommend you reach for the men's section.
No. 183636
>>183610Thank you anon, I don't know why I'm so retarded I didn't think of just measuring where I'd like them to sit and ordering a bigger size. The only reason I didn't want to thrift is the pandemic, but that's also retarded because you would wash used clothes before wearing them anyway.
>>183612I agree. High waist doesn't work on my proportions either. I think you can pull them off if you have a long torso because it's supposed to give you the illusion of longer legs? But my torso is shorter and my legs are long so the high waist makes me look like all-legs Peter Griffin.

No. 183673
>>183658This doesn't look good imo.. And it's not the modesty that makes it matronly/frumpy, it's the style of the skirt, the way it sits nearly below her boobs and the slit, the cardigan, the accessoiries, the colours.
Midi-skirts are difficult to pull of because they cut off the calves which is unflattering on most people. It's easier to just go all the way with a maxi skirt that ends just above the ankles.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but:
I'm a US size small/dress size 4 and looking to buy my first two piece swimsuit ever. I love pic related, but the size chart is throwing me off, especially because I haven't worn j-fashion in years.
I'd feel safer buying size L than size M, especially because I'm tall and don't want to risk it being too tight whatsoever.
It says size L is 85-88cm bust, 92-100cm hips, and 64cm waist for the skirt. Isn't the waist a little small in comparison to the other measurements? Does this seem like it would have stretch to accommodate ~2 extra cm?
I'm just confused because I'm pretty sure my bust and hip measurements are actually smaller, but my waist is probably around 66. I can't imagine myself being an LL, even in Japanese sizing…
Sorry for the stupid question, I have no experience with buying swimsuits.
No. 183708
>>183704>Does this seem like it would have stretch>Isn't the waist a little small in comparison to the other measurements?I think that's because the waistband seems to be made from faux/plu leather, which is non-stretch. The material around the bust and hips does seem to be made from stretchy fabric so it makes sense there's more allowance there. To be certain, what does it say it's made from on the website?
Still if you suck in your stomach a little you may be able to just squeeze in the excess 2 centimeters, it's not a whole lot extra.

>>183710Well, I'm a bit over 5'7. I have one swimsuit from this brand that's like a mini dress, and it does indeed cover my butt! (It's a size L and fit me at a higher weight, but more stretchy than this looks.)
The top and bottom aren't connected, it just looks that way because of the hanging straps. It's a 3 piece (top, skirt, and a typical swimsuit bottom), so if it's a bit short, I'd probably just buy bottoms that are like black shorts to put underneath the skirt.

I liked wearing loose pants today like pic related (but they weren't high waist). The ones I have are hand-me-downs and have some flaws however. I wanna get more, I'm wondering are there other names for these? Any stores you recommend?
Please don't say straight or wide leg unless you're sure, but I don't think it's the same fit. My problem is having kinda wide hips and thighs so straight leg for example looks bad on me. Too tight in that region when I really like it loose all over! Just not too broad like wide leg.

To succeed in fashion you have to be ahead of trends and able to predict what is coming next. This is literally true in the sense that you need to have things produced 3-6 months before they will be available for sale, so you need to be targeting what will be popular then rather than what's popular now. Or ypu can make trends happen via promotions/placements but that's big companies only. So for you, being "aware of fashion" is knowing what's trendy now, but for someone in fashion, it means being forward-looking, and what i believe op meant was that their friend is not that.
and also…if fashion isn't art to you… maybe you just aren't an artist? Not everyone has to be. But since you apparently think "fashion" means "I will simply put the trendy massproduced apparel on my body" and there's no art involved, im not sure why you are even here, because what do you even discuss about that?

>>185213It’s not a reach. I noticed it too, with zoomers becoming interested in gyaru styles and gal centric media like anime and magazines. I guess it makes sense because of the way jfashion can reflect what goes on across the ocean, and the influences gyaru took on during it’s inceptions in the first place. Gyaru’s also been a bit more popular in scrote/degenerate anime and as a result, the degenerates who consume it (aka weeb zoomers, including nlogs) also want more of it or to emulate it. I think it will reach it’s second peak with either an actual gyaru figure, reference (like in a song), or a new shojo manga focused on a gal becoming popular. But again this seems strictly zoomers, I can’t imagine any regular person over the age of 26 discovering it within this year because of social media and choosing to revamp their entire closet to emulate 00s nostalgia when they likely already dressed normally through that phase at the time. It’s like how with the 90s resurgence we didn’t have people who lived as impressionable young adults at that time participating; either they were already dressing that way still or they were completely over the fads from their younger days.

>>185242You're misunderstanding that anon. She's not saying that fashion isn't an art, but that the fashion industry is a commercial industry that makes a profit by capitalizing on current trends. The average person wants to wear what is popular right now, they don't want to go against the grain. The experimental, cutting-edge sector of the fashion world is a niche that's a lot harder to break into by comparison. If the majority of fashion school students are either more interested in making money or not imaginative enough to push the envelope, I don't think that's surprising.
No. 185257
>>185249No I get that, but literally to work in fashion at all even for mainstream commercial whatever stuff, you have to be ahead of trends because you have to produce before you can sell. Even in fast fashion that has as little as a 2 month lead time, you want to be targetting what will be trendy 2 months from now. So its not about wanting to push the envelope, it's that predicting future trends is itself the business. Especially as trends are changing ever faster due to internet stuff. Basically saying "well if i want to make money i should make what's currently trendy" is misguided because by the time your stuff gets made in 3-6 months it won't be trendy anymore and it won't even be the same season anymore.
If you mean that someone's gonna be making and selling the same leggings, graphic tees and floral blouses at target forever, well yes, bit i would call that the apparel industry rather than fashion. It is meaningfully different because that kind of thing is way lower margin since there's so many brands competing in the same field, whereas with per-se fashion your margins are waay higher because people will pay more for something new & different.
I think you're missing the space between apparel-industry and haute-couture. I'm not talking about "experimental" or runway fashion, I'm talking about normal fashionforawrd-y midtier clothing brands. Like a designer for zara or aritzia or such would right now be asking "ok, what will be cool next fall/winter so we can start production?" and getting that right is the difficult part.
Also that anon did in fact literally say that fashion is not an art…

not beachwear.

It's not a skimpy or slutty outfit in the least and I can't imagine a woman getting judged for it harshly in most settings, it's just a little too casual and a little too much skin for a ceremony like that. Not the feminist hill I'd want to die on personally.

>>185375Just because some people recommended "sexy" things for this professional academic event does not mean this is good advice. Wear sexy things at private gatherings. This is a ceremony and career event.
Obviously every woman should wear what she likes. But I don't teach with my midriff showing. I don't wear backless dresses to conferences. That's called dressing appropriately. Not misogyny.
Personally, I would wear a suit to the ceremony. There are stylish choices out there that would be good to wear for presentations in the future or for job interviews.

>Sounds like a bunch of internalized misogyny fueled respectability politics to me.Are you retarded? Anon can well that thing if she wants, though I think it would be better if she left it for her spare time. In her place I would feel fucking stupid if I came in that while every other woman came dressed in a (more or less appropriate) dress, suit etc. Wear this shit in your free time. Is picking up your diploma really the time to flex your attractiveness/sexuality (don't come at me, anon said she wants to look sexy)? Hell, why do you want to look fuckable during a professional event if you are not a sex worker?
That's like… wtf. Why is not looking pretty/nice not enough for anon? There is time and place for everything, and a ceremony during which you become a doctor isn't a time for that. I feel like if anon wanted to wear a black version of that thing to her grandma's funeral, you would still say it's ~internalized misogyny~ to say it's not appropriate. Not everything is about feminism and empowerment, sometimes others try to help you not to embarrass yourself.

No. 185706
>>185669You do know there is a difference between being a prude or "covering up" and dressing appropriately for an event, especially one that will be documented? The issue with that picture in
>>185560 is that some of those dresses and especially footwear are also not fitting for a ceremony where you're standing on stage. But everyone there looks kind of young, I can't tell what that is even for.
Dressing appropriately does not mean dressing like a prude. But like it or not, there is value in showing that you understand the social and professional code for your field. Artists have one type of code. Tech people have another. Academics, doctors, lawyers - they all have some basic understanding of what constitutes formal/professional dress. My professor told a story of how one of her (very smart) grad students showed up for her Harvard interview in a miniskirt and black fishnets. I'm sure she looked great - but not for the occasion.
I bought my interview suit a couple years ago. The one issue is that it's not ideal for summer (it's an interesting tweedy brown/grey - sounds dorky but actually it's not at all, because the fabric isn't that heavy). I wear it with a floaty jewel-toned shell underneath usually. So if you think, when I say "get a suit!", that you need to buy a lawyery boring one, you don't. I think mine is from Elie Tahari.
A good resource is
https://corporette.com/shop-page/shopping-guides/guide-to-basic-womens-suiting/Now, this site is very conservative - it's too conservative for my field as a general rule, but still a decent resource that I share with other women on the job market. There are other parts of the site that talk about more casual kinds of business dress.
>>185691This dress has a much different feel and I could see that being OK for a spring/summer ceremony depending on the front.
My sticking point with
>>185218 is really that bra/bikini top with exposed middle. (Out of curiosity, do you have boobs, because that is also too low-cut imho.) That's not something - again imho - for work or university. But I'd wear the shit out of it on my own time if it looked good on me!
I'm totally in favor of abolishing dress codes, but I don't see the point in pushing boundaries at an event where the point is to celebrate a great accomplishment with your friends and professors. They are not going to turn and look at you like that cringe harry potter scene where Hermione is suddenly a woman (puke). They will wonder why on earth that's what you're wearing.
Can I ask why OP wants to look sexy at this event? I guess maybe this wall of text demonstrates that I can't quite understand wanting to show off sex appeal when this is a time for celebrating your intelligence and hard work. Just wear something else to the white coat ceremony, then change into
>>185218 and go party. You deserve it.

I've only ever worn high-neck shirts underneath for professional occasions because I'm self-conscious of showing too much skin. I don't have a large chest but it's something that I'm worried about anyway. also I'm very fair-skinned so I don't know if white would be a good option for me or if it would wash me out. I can't try it on before buying and returns aren't free so I want to be sure it'll look okay. or do you think a pale blue would be better? something else I'm wondering is whether a string of small pearls would be appropriate or if it would look weird with this top for an interview?

Are you cool or warm pale? I kind of like white on everyone; it just had to be the right white for each person.
I'm a paler olive skin (nc20-25, would classify myself as autumn) and find that baby blue and cool pastel tones make me look sallow, and white/ivory gives me more of a glow. This is a little depressing because I like the color blue a lot, and I had such an urge to buy this beautiful icy blue suit in 2020. Then covid happened and it looks like I might have a cool temporary fellowship (vs. going on the market) in the fall. So I just gave up on that suit. But I'm not sure it would have worked for me anyway.
One surprise color that worked for me was a pale lavender/grey. I expected it to make me sallow but it was nice.
Attitudes might vary but I wear 28-30E bras so a v-neck takes the emphasis off my chest (which I like). It breaks up the space better. Anything that looks like it might gape can work if you use fashion tape or tailor it. I had my interview suit tailored (mostly waist/hem stuff) and a couple other things. I never regretted that.
Pearls would look good, I think! Trust your instincts about accessories. I think you have good taste anon. Now I want to date the model you posted…

>Hippy lifestyle revivalWith the second rise of New Age and Gen Zs + Millenials caring more about the environment alongside new concerns like clothing sustainability
>Covid, quarantine and the economic crisis that will followIt has been found that people want to dress up more/try different styles as a form of escapism. The 70's are also known for their high platform mules and boots; studies have been linking the height of heels with economic crisis (really tall heels and platforms seem to become in-fashion during economic recessions), ModernGurlz made a YT vid about it if you're interrested
I guess there's also the fact that the cut of the pants and skirts also goes well with Y2K pieces like halter cropped tops and corsets.

My measurements are around 32- 24 -40 and I'm 5'5. I feel like when I wear what I want to wear (long skirts with sweaters tucked in or cropped like pic rel) my hips make me look absurdly frumpy and my whole silhouette looks 20 lbs heavier than I am. When I wear clothes that are form fitting I just look slutty due to the nature of where my weight is and I feel like a fashion nova model in the worst way possible. I feel like I should know how to dress myself by now but I always feel myself gravitating back to just living the frumpy life and looking fat all of the time.

A lot of my insecurities pertaining to my fat distribution/bone structure (and i don't mean being a fatass) kind of went away when i started looking at certain celebrities with a similar body structure instead of looking through the lens of 'skinny or fat', when the women i saw on screen were always 'thin' and i was always 'fat'. Clothes look like shit when you don't follow certain rules to your body type.

Also feels like a bizarre cope that you can make yourself look as good as the famous women of your type if you just follow his rules. Not to mention it’s impossible to follow the rules to a T and even Kibbe contradicts himself and many of the celebrity examples break the rules.
Trust me there’s no actually fashionable women who endorse kibbe, in fact they probably don’t even know what it is. The community is full of women who are clearly dissatisfied about something about themselves and see Kibbe as a way to improve themselves. Also there have been lots of western women who look great in dolly inspired fashions (think Gemma Ward and the other baby dolls of the 2000s). Kibbe was a huge waste of time for me. Ditched that nonsense and I focused on clearing my skin, eating healthy and going from skinny to toned and now I just wear whatever I like and feel content while others are still trying to figure out if they’re a Fg or N or whatever

No one goes grocery shopping and to walk their dog in a prom dress. Not to mention styles that aren't curvy are often told to pretty much drape themselves and it doesn't help much with skin tone. Just fashion in general I feel tells women to hide their curves which is weird because western women are usually told they're not curvy enough and are given workouts/tips/surgery to help make their boobs and butt even bigger but also tell women to wear pants that minimize their butts and hips and shirts that make them look flat chested

I also have a slightly inverted triangle body shape which I feel like looks worse with looser tops. And I'm near underweight but this is still one of my issues.
To the other anon who wanted to know about minimizing, the best bet is a minimizing bra that actually fits or if you dgaf about breast tissue migration then really tight sports bras. You're not going to find a best-fitting bra that minimizes your chest unless your boobs are naturally shallow to begin with. If you're projected by default then keep in mind that shallow/minimizing bras will just smoosh your boobs to flatten them into a wider, shallower cup. You'll probably have some fit issues. I used to be self-conscious of my body, wore sports bras for the longest time, and now that I own proper fitting bras (Panache, Freya, the like) my boobs are more projected than ever in clothes. I think it's a small price to pay considering I used to wear 32 bands bc it was the smallest VS had but now I'm indisputably somewhere between a 28 or 30 which isn't sold in many affordable major retailers.
I've heard shallower bras like the Fantasie Rebecca Spacer bra have a minimizing effect but haven't tried it out myself. Maybe give that a shot?

>>186633Thanks for the advice and understanding
nonny. A well fitted bra definitely helps, the more lift and separation the better. I've wanted to try minimizers but they're hard to find here. Are there any you think are particularly effective? I haven't had luck with sports bras, they just give me one big boob loaf. Honestly I've been thinking of getting a binder just for certain outfits like button downs and the like.

>>186665Tbh this will probably kill your boobs but the most effective method by far was to use an XS sports bra from Nike. Something for high impact and possibly in a size smaller than what you should wear kek. It worked when a 28F in UK sizing and my boobs are definitely projected when supported. While the sports bra didn't make me flat chested, it held everything in to where my bf at that time was shocked when he first saw me naked bc I always wore sports bras which made him think my chest was on the smaller side. BUT it does give uniboob so that's not going to work for you I suppose.
If you don't want uniboob then you'll need something with a gore that 'tacks' to separate the boobs–this is typically not found in sports bras that will minimize your boobs. So my advice is to try looking for bras that are advertised as minimizing. T-shirt bras are generally good as well, except I wouldn't recommend Freya's Deco Vibe. I'd use bratabase if you want to check reviews on how the bra fits and whether it'll work for your shape.
Oh btw I just checked Herroom and it seems that they're having a sale atm, so try looking there and let me know if it helps.

What do you think about wearing shorts with leggings / thighs? When I was much younger I ran into an opinion it's a no-go and shows complete lack of taste and somehow it shamed me into never dressing like that anymore, but honestly looking at it I can't really see anything wrong with the look.

>>186548So I've read the book, which was a lot clearer than any of the info I've seen online about it (and seemed way less about putting people into boxes). For me personally, I liked the idea of dressing to harmonize with/celebrate what's unique about your body, rather than breaking it down into parts you have to camouflage. For example, I'm pretty curvy and petite, and I look 10x better in the types of fabrics that kibbe suggests for Rs, especially if I stick to cuts that softly hug my figure or have ruching/draping to emphasize my curves without adding a lot of excess fabric. I used to try to make my legs look longer and minimize my chest, and I think that dressing for the body as a whole (which is a big thing kibbe talks about) looks a lot nicer and has made me more confident.
Similarly, I have a friend who is a kibbe FN and I think she dresses really perfectly for it and looks amazing. She's very tall with pretty broad shoulders and I think it's very common for women with builds like that to be insecure and try to dress in ways that hide it, but she looks great in outfits like pic related that show off her height and strong shoulders.
I think that the celebrities and descriptors like "elegant lady" or "Spitfire chic" are mostly just fun and there to help you embrace the unique strengths of a specific type. Overall though, if you're good looking and have a good eye for style, you don't really need kibbe imo.

What the fuck even looks good anymore? The last time I cared about dressing nice, I think arthoe tumblr was just getting big and skater skirts were still a thing. Looking at what fashionable people my age (early twenties) are wearing now, I feel like I must have fucking Rip Van Winkled through a major shift in trends. Lately I've been seeing a lot of Y2K/late 90's larp and extremely drapey neutrals with weird sandals or platforms, neither of which really appeals to me. Maybe I'm just being salty because I don't know what's going on anymore, but a lot of current trends just look 3edgy5me.
Do any of you nonnies follow fashion bloggers/instagrams/andean smoke signallers with a nice, unique sense of style? I'm willing to try anything at this point as long as it's not wack shit like picrel or worse.

>>187444there is this girl on tumblr whose style i became a little bit obsessed with, she shaped a lot of fashion blogging/posting microtrends on ig down to the way she poses for her "out and about" walking photos, panning down and capturing herself in motion like a candid photo by a friend. i wish i could remember her url, she had timeless and elegant sartorial looks which focused on crisp or breezy materials, luxurious fits and slightly andro silhouettes. it looks effortless but is kind of the pinnacle of style to me
the trends we are seeing right now feel cheap, gaudy, and like they will date themselves within less than two years (being very generous about it). neon checkers, cheap polyester garbage, egirl runoff, wanting to signal some element of self expression without any real self expression, regurgitating tiktok stars who are bastardizing dead subcultures with aliexpress UO-core nonsense… revival of a revival of a revival of a dead trend, cycling between 60s-70s-80s to, now, 90s-y2k nostalgia endlessly.
anyways, i think what "looks good" now isn't any of that, but also isn't the reactionary "who cares? i give up." normcore aversion to it. i think what looks good is something chic but simple, personal but effortless, it's hard to define it without sounding more pretentious than i already do because i think it comes down to refining and understanding your personal tastes, what works for you, and investing in quality pieces for something very wearable that will stand the tests of time. i think the only "trends" anybody should really subscribe to are personal trends from season to season, nothing to do with the lowbrow cultural runoff that people our age get sucked into and overpay for (like paloma wool's gaudy tiktok-core sweaters which don't even use enough natural fibres to warrant the price…)
i'll see if i can find that girl's sm handles for you because i think you would love her.
TLDR i guess i think we should mine from various decades (or even centuries), subcultures, art scenes, cinema stills, dead trends, things that we have never even really seen executed well, divorced from the "millennial marketing racket" (do you remember that article from the cut about the way that millennial design markets first, designs the product itself as an afterthought, and the approach to design we have right now is going to look garish as fuck and awful in a decade? it's all just manufactured to look good on a screen and entice you to buy subpar products. anyway.)
i think everyone should create their own approach to style, design, home decor, art that isn't beholden to all of this. whether that be timelessly chic or authentically quirked up. sorry for sounding insufferable…
i think everything that really takes off and becomes a viral meme trend is basically a marketing psyop. think about what will look and feel great in 5, 8, 10, 12 years. and what you love, feel attracted to. how you can make that work for you (body type, overall features, budget, lifestyle, the way your tastes are realistically going to change over time).

>>188022Wardrobe essentials are going to depend on the function you need your clothes to serve in relation to your lifestyle. You mentioned that you want to avoid looking either too formal or too juvenile, but what kind of looks are you drawn to? Without visual references "chic" is a bit vague. If your goal is to look stylish and not just decent, then creating a mood board of outfits that you like would help you develop a sense of your aesthetic values. Pic rel is something that I would include in my mood board because I like 60s/70s mod fashion and it works with my lifestyle.

>>188024they said good subreddits so… no, there aren't any. This thread is better b/c unlike reddit ppl can disagree and call spades spades.
>>188022To build a capsule you need to have a starting point to work from. Like you have to start with something to match other things to. Treat it like pizza and ask questions in order - classic or thin crust? (Where you're at right now is like chicago pizza mess pie). And by crust of course i mean shoes, since shoes are probably the thing you will have the fewest of (2-3 pairs or so vs 4-5 pants/skirts and 5-10 tops, which are like the sauce options and toppings respectively) - so it's the easiest place to start, and once you have the shoes you have a direction to go in terms of looking for other stuff. Shoes set the tone in other words. So from pic, what kind of shoes are you feeling? Just google the names and scroll through images. They're all
valid so it's literally just what speaks to you, that's all that matters.
Also if i had to make just one suggestion, and this works with ypur current closet, find/buy a tan or dark-color tweed or plaid professor type blazer, and a pair of loafers, oxfords or saddle shoes in a brown/tan color. With those shoes you can just wear the blazer over your graphic tees and people will think you're kinda cool. It's kind of a classic hipster look (a lot of this look in portlandia) and maybe a bit girlboss but it works very well with graphic tees.

Ive had the most luck with youtube. If you care about your countries fashion, watch videos from you country/ in your native tongue but if you also come from a country with bad taste, you can also watch in english. Try to focus on UK or europe based youtubers because ive noticed american, austrlian, singapore etc brands are either not here or dont have the same stock in.
If youre not set on staying in trend, watch older youtubers 30+, 40+ crowd. They often have more fashionable but not newest trend content.
Also look up capsule wardrobe, or wardrobe essentials videos just to get an idea.
Once you start being redirected on youtube for similar interests, sometimes you can find your style or brands better. I ended up on abercrombie hauls (from 40+ a fashion youtuber, despite being mid 20s myself)and i discovered i like a lot of their stuff.
I've only found femalefashionaddvice subreddit for specific items, but it seems like 90% of the users are from America and often suggest US based brands.

bros do u have any tips on developing an actual style/wardrobe? all my clothes are super and shapeless (i literally just wear leggings and a huge zip-up jacket most of the time), and i haven’t really cared about how i looked until now. idk, i recently read a book called pretty honest which was pretty much just this lady giving the foundations of skincare, makeup whatever - like she made reason of everything of that made sense. and the book really opened up my eyes about how looking good isn’t some chore or something that’s only for particular people, but something fun and a way to make yourself feel better even if everything else is going to shit (you can have control over how you look if nothing else i guess). also, as retarded and autistic as this sounds, i’ve never really seen women openly expressing/ talking about attraction to men, and i’ve always felt uncomfortable with feeling attraction towards boys for some reason (maybe bc my dad’s always been really crazy abt keeping me separate from boys?) but this site really opened up my eyes to how it’s alright and normal to feel certain ways - so i think part of the reason i wanna look better is to look cuter i guess? idk
SO ANYWAY, now i want to put effort into what i wear i guess. the issues i’m having with getting into it is (1) idk why but i’m scared to stop dressing completely horribly, like every time i gets actually dressed nice for whatever event i get super embarrassed if someone compliments me and i’m worried how other people might react if i start dressing differently (even if it’s for the better) - so how can i stop with my way self-conscious thinking?, and (2) i’ve gained like ~30 pounds over the past year, and am pretty chubby - i mean i’ve always had issues with my thighs/arms but now they’re even worse - so i’ve always had issues (even before gaining even more weight) dressing myself properly without defaulting to my comfy homeless-person esque look, so any tips for finding the most flattering clothes for a chubby person (especially pants - i can never fucking figure out flattering pants)? if it helps i think i’m pretty much a pear - when i measure myself i get 36-28-43.
side-note: what are some cute places to get summer dresses?
anyways i don’t even know if i should post this here, but i don’t care and if i can’t it’s just gonna get deleted so that’s fine and i think this site is actually totally changing my perspective on many topics so thank u very much people! good night and thank uuuu!!

>>188645You should probably just gradually start incorporating more 'dressy' items into your outfits until it's not jarring to see you fully dressed up. Eg rather than wearing a dress and heels, you wear a dress with flats and heels with jeans until you're comfortable enough to go for the combination. I've been dressing up my entire adult life and don't wear casual clothes much, but when I don't want to look like I tried too hard I take off accessories and jewellery, leave my hair out/unstyled and wear light or no makeup.
But tbh if you're just starting to develop a sense of style and build up a wardrobe you kinda need to accept that sometimes you'll look weird or bad or people won't react how you want. Nobody is born stylish, we all have blunder years and moments of shitty taste and cringe outfits, it's part of the process.

A small, shoe-related vent: I love the look of ballet flats but can't for the love of God wear them. I have pizza-shaped feet - super narrow at the heels, wide at the front - and flats either rub off the skin off of my heels or I just walk right out of them. And I tried those adhesive pads and heel grips and what have you, but they just don't work for me. Anyone else have this problem? I guess I should wear loafers instead but they don't look as feminine as ballet flats. Fuck my deformed feet

>>188729The only authentic empire dresses I can find are designer. Too expensive. Cheaper variations (picrel) with a modified empire bust line and shorter hem are likely just as comfortable and definitely wouldn't stand out or look weird. They can look old fashioned (and in a bad way) when in floral print, but a plain one with sandals looks cute, usually.
>>188733Um, I don't know, good question. Depends on the style, I guess. I've seen vintage bonnets shaped more like a cap or visor. But I think most old-style bonnets curved down at the sides while projecting far, so yes maybe they do limit vision. The one I posted wouldn't, but it also wouldn't protect from the sun either. It's probably why old school bonnets have never made a come-back, they look dorky. A lot of head accessories and hats these days are much smaller, worn lower on the head, or if big, worn tilted.

It's not a trend or anachronistic in the same way.

I don't wear bras, most of my clothes are from the 60s and 70s so it works, but I also have dresses from the 30s/40s/50s and it just looks off without the added structure of a corset underneath. I'm going to invest in one at some point, something cute and a bit lightweight.
>>188749I really like clothes that have decorative, corset-like elements which I noticed has been trending recently. Details like lace-up strings, sweetheart necklines, silky materials, or boning-like seams in the bodice similar to picrel can look dreamy and romantic. If it was made from a cotton fabric this blouse would look more pastoral and fit right in with the milkmaid trope that cottagecore draws inspiration from.

>>189920It's not hard to modernize vintage clothes, some day dresses from the 1930s can be styled in a way that makes it look young and modern. The jewelry and shoes you pair with it and the way you style your hair are going to determine the vibe. People would be surprised by the extent to which current trends like cottagecore are based on early and midcentury women's fashion.
>>189964I agree with this. I make a distinction between lounge clothes, workout clothes, casual clothes for running errands, etc. I don't do it for other people, I do it because I don't want to look sloppy if I can help it. I feel more confident when I'm dressed for the circumstances or activity at hand, which isn't remotely the same thing as "dressing up". People can do whatever they want but that's just my take on it.

Fair warning - I haven't purchased anything from them due to some dodgy reviews. They seem to order from China based on demand so sometimes deliveries take months or just never arrive. Although some people have gotten their stuff fine. Sucks because I'd like to order some things but it makes me hesitant.

The high cost is probably due to the tiktoker thirst trap boy trend of a bunch of big silver rings.
Its not worth it at all…
The actual scrap worth of those things are nothing. Most silver rings scrap for like less than 20 bucks.
Check out a local antique store, thrift shop or if you have them, flea markets. They usually will have some antique booth or jewelery section of nice silver rings for 5-20 bucks. Unless its designer or a design you really love, its not worth it, buy silver.

I feel kinda stupid, but here it goes.
I'm fairly muscular + stout because of my last job, MMA/wrestling, and because I've been a fucking stupid meathead for the past decade or so, and I like to pick up heavy things and put them down when I'm stressed.
My personal taste is hyper feminine so I feel like a fucking idiot trying to dress up the way I'd like. Every other month I end up ordering myself a dress and then I put it on and look like bacon in shrink wrapped in plastic.
I think I dress okay, but I don't find it really true to myself and I'm fucking bored of it. I almost always end up resorting to something like picrel after larping as swole miss piggy for a spell before going out and then resigning myself back to my softcore butch librarian clothes. I guess I could try to get more femme accessories like ascots or bigger earrings, but I guess it's just annoying. I don't want to stop working out but I seriously have no idea what to do lol. it doesn't help that I feel so fucking short. I think I just look like a a fucking financial-advisor dwarf at this point.

But I also don't quite understand what you're asking. Do you feel the disconnect between the clothes that you want to wear/the clothes that look good on you? In that case, just wear whatever you want. Yeah, easier said than done, but if you think about it, clothing is just drapes for your body. In general, if your body is fat, you'll have to work around it with different shapes and fabric (if you want to appear slimmer), but if you aren't overweight/you feel like you don't have to hide some parts, just wear whatever you feel like. Seriously, that's most of what getting (ordinary, untailored) clothes to look good on you takes - being at a normal weight or having a good body. And people can tell a fit/curvy person wearing unflattering clothes isn't the same as a fat peron.
I have some pretty pronounced curves, but I always liked masculine styles and suits more. So after a while of wearing hyperfeminine things that I didn't like at all just because they fit my body and after getting over hating my figure, I said 'fuck it' and started wearing more androgynous styles, and I feel way happier now.
I guess it'd help to have some style icons whose body and style you feel closest to - mine is HBC in the 80s. I dont know if you know Reika but she's a japanese muslce idol and wears pretty hyperfeminine clothing a lot. Idk, check her out. Also, apologies if this was an answer to a quiestion you didnt even ask lol.

>>190953There's an episode of what not to wear with a bodybuilder - "Season 7 • Episode 23. A woman searches for a balance between bulging biceps and feminine fashion." Sometimes their specifc recommendations are a little wack/dated (this is from 2010) but worth watching. This show can be hard to find, but also, i want to see this person because her biceps are huge, so i will probably try to find it myself, and if i do ill post it here.
No. 191191
>>191162No, and if that's your takeaway from the show, i don't think you actually watched it attentively or openmindedly. they literally gp to different stores every time, and usually multiple types, retail stores vs boutiques vs dept stores, within each episode so the people can see a variety of stuff and it doesn't get stale.
I will say, once you're out of the first 3 or so seasons (2003-5ish), the style gets more dated looking and there are a lot of very ugly dresses, but thats just what 2010 was like. And of course most things on the show arent still being made so you cant get the exact stuff (unless secondhand somehow), but the style stuff is usually pretty straightforward personal stylist stuff that remains true in terms of body type and personality etc, and its a fun portal into 00s adult fashion which i at least wasnt really old enough to experience fully at the time.

>>186525hey just saw this. here's the breakdown of what i ended up paying fee wise. i use dejapan, which i really prefer bc they don't make u load up ur account with money before buying, you can just buy directly from ur card.
spent like $180 total on yahoo jp for my 14 items (including domestic shipping). international shipping was like $80. got lots of clothes/somewhat heavy fabrics included, and i should've opted for the regular packing, but i decided to do double packing just bc, i think that also ended up making it heavier/more shipping cost. but whatever, for the amount of stuff i bought i was fine w/ the price.
the fees on dejapan are not bad at all imo, so long as ur buying lots of stuff, since atm international shipping is quite expensive, so if ur gonna buy, go all out.
No. 191307
>>188915sorry for late reply! I do think they help somewhat with posture. When I'm not wearing it and I begin to slouch I can almost feel something is off if that makes sense? It gives you some good body awareness imo.
>>188918>>188917You are correct! You shouldn't really just wear a corset, you should be doing core exercises when you take it off. I work out 5-6 days a week in addition to wearing it. Also when you're wearing it, you have to almost train yourself not to just lean back against it, but rather to engage your abs for good posture. It's easy and lazy to let the correct do the work, really it should be a bit of a guide and a reminder to sit up straight. It's a tool, not a crutch.
>>189437For a number of reasons. I have really bad anxiety and it may sound retarded but the compression can help calm me down if I'm having an especially bad day. It also is a good reminder to have good posture, and I just love being able to have a slightly more exaggerated hour glass shape.

My taste in fashion has changed dramatically in the last year. I'm buying mostly red, white and black pieces with gold accents, green here and there; blazers with nipped in waists, tailored suits, comfortable heels, leather skirts and pants, even some latex pieces.

I thought the rugged sole would be good because I live in a place that gets a lot for rain and snow.

I have an office job which doesnt have a dress code but the bosses clearly prefer business casual over casual casual. During our heat wave i got a few pairs of bermuda shorts. They make womens chino bermuda shorts, which often come with belts that can look very work appropriate but also still fashionable. Ive been wearing them with embroidered tees which is still kind of cute without looking like im in my 50s. If i had to dress less casual i would probably go with a short sleeve button up.
I feel like bermudas look a lot better than longer jean shorts. I couldnt find any in person when i went shopping recently that werent skin tight skinny, trying to mimic bike shorts and or meant for older ladies.
I have a pair of longer dark wash jean shorts from Levi from a few years ago but they look more casual and frumpy.

Here, girls do wear belts with high waisted jeans. Its always tshirt, high wasited jeans, white nikes or adidas with a belt on.
Personally, 90% of the time im wearing a belt its at work and with (long) shorts. Either its when wearing slacks a bit to big for an interview or im wearing mens cargo pants because it was hot and it was the only work length approved shorts i could find when i was working food service.
I do sometimes wear a belt with high waisted jeans because two of the pairs i have look a bit weird and i feel a belt distracts from my long torso. I do have a nice leather belt but 9/10 times i wear a cheap thin braided belt i got from uniqlo becuase i dont have to worry about finding the belt hole and they work well with high waist, low waist and dresses.
I wouldnt recommend spending more than 20 bucks on a belt unless you wear it enough that you break a cheaper belt first.

Chances are also that you don't fit any particular season and that's messing with your judgment. My hair is a weird mix of dark & ashy and bright & vivid, and my skin is very pale and cool in winter but more warm and gold-ish in summer. Every quiz on color season gives me a different result so I don't think I fit any particular one.

What are the others wearing? What is the bride wearing while hiking? Is the hike difficult?
If everyone is wearing goofy hiking shoes then I guess that's okay, though I think I'd still ditch the dress and go for a jumpsuit or a midi dress from a stiffer fabric so you minimize the risk of getting caught in rocks or shrubbery while hiking.
Picrel is the least ugly pair of hiking boots I could find, the dress is long enough to cover them while taking the pictures anyway. I think it would look pretty badass with a pantsuit or a jumpsuit and a fancy wool trench coat on top maybe?

From what the bride said it sounds like everyone is going to be wearing hiking shoes but like I said I'm going to triple check on the plan because it's totally possible she just means a lot of walking/walking on rough terrain??

Hope this is the right thread, but does anybody have experience with swimsuits like this bought from places like Yesstyle and Aliexpress? I think they're super cute (and I want a long sleeved swimsuit because my arms always get cold in the sea) but I do kayaking and other watersports so I need a swimsuit that won't rip, tear, or disintegrate after a few uses. Will the swimsuits hold up, or should I just go for an ugly but more durable rashguard from a local beach shop?

>>197574I can't speak for the ones that you mentioned, but Amazon has SO many bathing suit sets like that for around $18-$30 USD. With normal activity you'll get 2-3+ years out of them. This is especially true if you like it for the high waisted bottoms.
If not, then you'll have a harder time because pretty much all of them are high waisted. But you could also buy the suits just for the tops and pair another set of bottoms with it.
I personally do not like high waisted bottoms so I had to get some just for the tops. They remind me of a diaper. I hate how they look on me too, so I go with a low or mid cut. They're more flattering on me.

Serious question: why do American men wear such baggy suits? Looks like pyjamas. Doesn't that defeat the point of looking smart? What makes an outfit look smart is the neatness, the tailoring. Is there a historical reason for this? US is an outlier on this. And don't say it's because the men are fat, because men are fat everywhere in the West and suits are still slim-fit.

>>198418>>198412I think it's a US fashion thing, up until maybe the 80s suits used to be wider and fit looser, because men had to wear suits more often in daily life and hence had to be more comfortable. Picrel is what was considered fashionable to wear in the 40s-50s. Also, if you remember Reviewbrah, he prefers pretty much the same type of style of suits (specifically not slim fit), and even though he said he wears a size or two bigger than himself, they still would probably look very wide on his frame. These are all just my guesses though.

No. 199783
>>199628seems like those wouldn't be too awful for sweaty feet, as far as sandals go. you've got a strap around your ankle and a low heel so your foot won't slide too far forward, and it's closed behind the heel so it won't slide back. some slipping around is sadly inevitable in sandals unless you get something very practical like birks.
I dont know about youtube channels but my number one advice to preserve clothes is to not put them in the dryer. heat destroys. I put t-shirts in the dryer just enough that they won't get wrinkly. I also put in thick durable stuff like sweatpants that would take so long to line dry it isn't worth it. my second most important advice is to put anything strappy like bras or anything of a delicate material into garment bags while you wash them.

idk if it's the brand that makes a huge difference since I've only owned the one type (most 100% cotton jeans are well out of my price range), but I'm also one of those weird people that find jeans comfortable & wear them around the house. if you really feel like you can't move in the pair you bought I think you should try sizing up before you write them off completely. 100% cotton jeans can't be as skin tight on you as ones with stretch to them

No. 200546
>>200118It depends on how much clothes you're selling, and how long you want to wait before getting paid. If you want to build a regular business, use etsy, as the fees are low and you can set prices reasonably high, but things will take a bit of time to sell and you'll need a sizable inventory (500+) to sell things with regularity. And you'll have to keep the stuff around until it sells. If you just want to get rid of a batch of stuff one time or once a year or so, your best bet is something like therealreal or thredup where ypu just mail in your batch of clothes and dont have to think about it (check if they already carry the brands you have, because then they'll probably take more stuff from those brands). They pay you less per thing than you would make selling it yourself, but unless you're running a regular side hustle and have a good workflow already, or your items are worth like $150 each, its probably not worth your time on your own. But if you do want to make it a regular hustle, AMA i guess, i have some experience.

Hill House's new collab campaign that sold out and ended up being "broken" by high traffic today was suspicious to me. I know their releases are popular, but the recent trellis re-release did not sell out as fast as anyone was claiming it would and the 4 o'clock relaunch of today's failed launch doesn't seem to be moving very quickly now at 4:10 when they were suggesting everyone be ready in the first couple of minutes. I like the dresses, but I feel like this was a stunt to give people more FOMO about the collection and making them jump to buy them in case they "sell out" in under one minute again. I know probably all companies do shit like this but this is one of those times I really had to stop myself in real life and question if I was being messed with by a marketing team.

I'm getting a pair of boots like picrel in the mail soon and was wondering if any anons had advice on what to wear them with.
Especially since they're knee-high boots and I usually wear longer skirts, but I think a skirt that comes down to my knees or lower might look odd combined with boots that high. I think pairing them with a shorter skirt is a safe bet, but when it comes to pants idk what to do. I really don't like skinny jeans so all of my pants are at least somewhat loose and cargo pants-esque.

>>201638I think any black skirt would go with these, but obviously a short skirt is the best way to show these off. The only possible way I can think of pants working is wearing tripp pants though you wouldn't be showing them off to the fullest extent,(picrel) and even then im not sure how it would look with these specific boots. It depends on your style/subculture, I think so I recommend just trolling though pinterest to find inspo.

>>202320In my country it's easy enough to buy local but for women that mostly means boxy, overpriced geometric print 'fun aunt' muumuus and similar.
Etsy is an option but some of them lie about where their clothes are made and are just dropshipping storefronts.
These days I mostly thrift flip clothes because it's easier and just as ethical.

>>202337>>202338Watch out, those images are not of the product you’re getting. Those are made by Period Corsets, and also run about 300$. Picrel is the same model in a photo from their shop. I made my own at one point using a simplicity pattern (number 5582) and quilting cotton, and while it wasn’t the best, it looked pretty nice and ran me maybe 50$ in total for the pattern and materials and I looked cute at the renaissance faire.

>>202778Flyknits are dying, thank god. Outside of ppl using them for running/workouts anyway. Last couple years, vans & white AF1s came in among normies because they have an organic/chill/structured look vs floppy mushy flyknits, now they're fading a little in favor of jordan lows in color+white colorways, and actually converse especially hitops are makong a comeback. I kind of hate converse hitops but god anything but flyknits. Theres a cadre of ultrawhite ppl who still wear adidas semiflyknits but those have more structure at least.
I got distracted - anyway the sort of sneaker-cuff thing isn't as new as you might think. These from the 90s have it but obvioisly i think its subtler and better integrated into the design. They are supposed to be for hiking although Jerry actually wears this model in one Seinfeld episode. Nike did a remake of this recently that sucks a little so ignore that if you see it.

It does take maturity & impulse control to save for nicer stuff, but once you go nice, you'll never permit cheap synthetics to touch your skin again. To people who defend buying endless thoughtless cheap crap I have nothing to say but cope & consume.
When you concentrate your money & energies on one more important, you're unconsciously motivated to really look for something that's perfectly exactly right because it's a little bit bigger decision. And its also a lot less to keep track of in terms of making sure everything buy actually fits you & remembering to return what doesnt work out. And in general, the fewer more expensive things you buy, the less money you waste paying for shipping on each free thing. Yes even if it says free shipping. (They just include it in the item price actually. There's no free lunch & there's no actually free shipping).

>>203181it's not. There is taste, and there is quality. Every single thing a really luxury company like Hermes makes is high quality. Every single thing H&M makes is low quality. Most brands are in between. Whether something is "nice" in the sense of tasteful is more subjective, but even there, higher end companies do tend to make more tasteful products on the whole, even if there are some misses, because for them spending money on r&d and hiring cutting edge people is doable since they have higher margins.
Buying something that is $200 of course doesn't guarantee that it's nice; if it's not nice, return it. But buying the cheap equivalent pf that thing for $20 means you'll definitely get something crappy. Like…yeah there are some brands that sell crappy things for $200. If an expensive brand turns out to be crap, return the thing and cross that brand off your list.
Like…you will have to use a little bit of judgment but if you really can't tell the difference between something objectively high quality and something crappy, that's kind of a you problem. Keep telling yourself it's the same if you want, but I can tell a well made $70 pleated wool skirt from a cheap wish.com rayon pleated skirt in the same color & style from 50 feet away. It already looks bad from 100 feet, but at 50 I'm like oh that's some wish.com lmao. It just moves different.

>>203235Imo it's a mixed bag. All my clothes are from generic fast fashion stores like mango, zara and bershka or online from zalando or asos etc. (a lot of them are inditex brands). Some clothes I've had rip on my on the first wear, or after a few wears. Other clothes I get a year out of, 3 years out of, 5+ years out of. There's a maxi summerdress I purchased for like 45 euro that I've worn a LOT over 4 summers and only now it has it's first tiny hole in it (which I'm repairing). Skirts for some reason tend to last really well too. But another dress I bought from asos recently, a button fell off after just a few wears (which I tried to get repaired but was told it wasn't possible because it was a type of button wasn't sold outside the fashion industry itself). Another dress had the little strap that holds the waistband rip during the first wear. I also find that lining tends to rip within one season, I have multiple jackets and cardigans and a pair of tweed shorts with ripped linings. T-shirts are prone to getting holes in them within a year of wearing. Mind that I hang-dry my clothes and wash them on short, low-heat or cold cycles as much as possible so the stress put on them is limited (dyers especially are terrible for clothes).
At the end of the day I think it's undeniable that cheap fast fashion clothes more often than not don't last very long and are in need of mending or replacing within a few years tops.

>>203414Most alt sites are kinda a mixed bag, so I'm afraid you'll probably have to scroll past shirts that say "witch bitch" on them in order to get what you're looking for.
I'm 100% sure you're aware of Killstar but they stock vaguely egl inspired clothes sometimes. They're notorious for being overpriced with shit quality so I'd be wary and probably only buy from them if it's something on clearance or accessories that will get less wear and tear.
Disturbia is decent as far as I can tell and they put out discount codes pretty often but their style of clothes might be a little more minimal and less like what you're looking for.
Attitude Clothing, Blue Banana and Kate's Clothing are UK distributors for other brands. Brands they carry that might have clothing like you described are Banned, Punk Rave, Dark in Love, Hell Bunny and Restyle.
Some of the designs look like tacky lingerie tbh but they have some cuter styles as well. I have no idea about their quality though.
Sorry for the huge spergy essay! These are all the sites I can think of that might have what you're looking for and are based in the UK so won't fuck you over with customs fees etc. They also carry a lot of cringe evanescence-core stuff like you mentioned though.

>>20362650s is the most popular/mainstream era for vintage fashion, ie tradthot and rockabilly styles. 60s/70s are recognizable and wearable enough that it shouldn't be a hard sell even to people who aren't specifically into vintage fashion. Generally the further back in time you go the more niche and costumey the styles will be, though that could be an advantage for costume parties I guess and if you sold online there is an audience for it.
imo you'd need to keep a close eye on trends and media and change it up accordingly. Current trends that are inspired by a certain era, popular period TV series, etc would be something to lean into.

The difference being "I wanted to wear a single colour outfit but that is all I got", which is why I hate trying to wear all black, the pieces never really match. There is a difference between that and actually making a composition of analogous colours. I guess trying to go for very different textures could also be an option, the material and texture of fabric can make a lot of difference to how we perceive colour.

By the way, I am so tired of my clothes lasting so little, I don't buy fast fashion, try to take care of them, try to be attentive to how it is sewn, but still

Sorry for the shit tier pic but I've had picrel in my closet for a while and have never worn it, I just don't know how to style it. Any ideas?

>>204735This might be wearable if you got rid of the sleeves. Then it could pass for a unique summer dress. But as it is now…. it looks very cosplay medieval.

>>204735I'd layer a cropped white sweater over it to make it look like a skirt.
Just curious, where did you buy it?

ordered a 20pc mixed pack of these clips from ali. i'm hoping putting a bunch of them in my hair will make it look a bit more "cuter" because i'm growing out a shaved head. anyone got any similar ideas of what i can put in my hair?

>>203209Don't take to heart what the other anon said. It doesn't matter if your clothes cost 300 or 30 dollars, at the end of the day they're just garments. Only a superficial and/or privileged and ignorant person would put so much emphasis on clothing. If you keep yourself and your clothes clean and tidy, it's all that matters. My small town only has shops that import chinese clothing, supermarkets that sell basic clothes, second hand shops and two clothing outlets with out-of-season collections from bershka, stradivarius, pull&bear and sometimes zara. I used to think these were all on the higher end, especially zara which seemed like armani to us. At the end of the day we made do with what we had and we were very happy and looked well put together because we treated our clothes with care.

>>204919Anon… you're 30 and watched Victorious? At best that means you would have been 19 when the first episode aired in 2010– Wait, this question just started making a lot more sense. You're slightly retarded right? Like developmentally delayed?
So no, don't start dressing like the girls in Victorious. It will not help you appear less tard like.

>>204932Nta but probably because it's made for tweens, not for adults? I agree the reaction is overly harsh though lol.
>>204919I'm all for dressing how you want but keep in mind they're mostly dated looks. I don't think you're too old to wear them, 30 isn't old ladies.

>>204930I'm the OP and I half expected farmers to react this way despite the fact that this site had tons of /cgl/ runoff back in like 2015 and.. I mean, do I really need to say it? I didn't think that a skater dress and converse were more offensive than garish, nursery looking prints on jumpers. I swear some anons are okay with fun and others expect us to wear mules and Eileen Fisher burlap sacks the color of baby food (I'm sick of this neutral palette and all the damn beige and ugly, 70s mustard yellow) and probably never smile.
Misery loves company, I suppose. Guess this place really did change.

>>204941That isn't my post and I'm not making any strawmen? I'm genuinely curious as to how there's such a level of vitriol when, once again, this site is frequented by people who are into obscure or dead fashion subcultures or even immensely dated historical fashion choices. If I wore something from that show, normies or the average person isn't going to see anything amiss. If one of you were to wear your Scarlett O'Hara ball gown to the bus stop, people are bound to stare and wonder why. Like, ffs as if the OP pic of this thread isn't dated as well? The shirt in it looks like something DJ from Full House wears in the earlier seasons.
I've also thrifted and worn 80s fashion, which is even older and yet plenty of people seek to recreate looks from then and the 90s in the present. Y2K fashion is making rounds yet 2010 is somehow dated and unacceptable. I'm truly baffled by some people here, lol.

To respond to your OG question, you could try the zoomer trend Elena Gilbert/Bella Swan core? I fucking despise it but maybe you'll like it. It's basically just clothes that you could find in an American mall and Hollister during the 2010s, really basic with easy to find pieces.

>>204936I honestly don’t see the big deal, they’re just stuff that are badly paired in the show on purpose.
If you really want to dress like a victorious character, just pick anything that shows too much skin, add some layers and you’re ready to go.
It’s not really bad, it just looks crusty and probably brings war flashbacks from the time most of us went to high school and had to wear outfits layered to hell and back.
I particularly find the t-shirts, shoes and blouses tacky because they look like the kind of things I had to wear as a fat kid who bought clothes from the teens’ section.
No. 204992
>>204983she and some other anons seem pissed at the opinions given though, so the whole discussion becomes pointless if they're going to wear the clothes regardless of what others say and when everyone's taste is subjective.
If nonnies here want to wear it anyway then just.. wear it?

>>185013>tfw recently bought a dark blue satin quilted bomber because I've been getting nostalgia for that movie and wanted something vaguely like it Pic related. I like it because it looks moody but it's doesnt really match or go with most of my wardrobe. Maybe it's just me, but I do feel like it's a bit outdated and have semi-regrets. Second opinions? Styling ideas?

>>205118>>205123they're a traditional equestrian thing, I've seen them usually referred to as a barn/stable jacket. I think it's partially so they can match with their horses kek
I think the anon who posted the jacket was more talking about quilted bomber jackets, but it might be coming off as equestrian because it's dark blue instead of a flashier print.

>>205136>>205149i disagree. i wear leggings all the time and i want them to be made out of high quality material so they don't get torn up after 1 month of wearing them, and i also don't want to get rashes from the shitty material
even if you wear it under your clothes, they should be able to last for a while wtf
