So do you mean the sculptural style, texture or colours?

I feel like clothing from Aje might appeal to you if you like the sculptural side. Pic is some of their pieces so if the shapes appeal to you then check out the website.

They are a little expensive but good quality and maintain a classic 'art - gallery' semi-stylish curator look.

This is sort of a difficult question because no one "style" encapsulates this look. I see draping, sea foam green, art deco, bronze, straight lines, beaded crystals, soft and feminine elements. Some of the items in picrel are more timeless/vintage styled but could still be worn today. This was fun I hope you don't hate it kek

Can we talk about bags? I'm in desperate need for a new one and need some inspiration, stores, brands, etc.
I'm looking for a bag that offers the following:
- real leather
- black
- shoulder strap
- closed with a zipper
- DIN A4 has to fit easily into it
- style shouldn't look elegant or posh, more grunge, goth, crumpled, but not childish (like Killstar, etc.), something like picrel

It doesn't have to be from a recent collection, I don't mind out of fashion stuff and if you have recommendations for stores (in Europe would be nice) that sell designer stuff cheaper, I will gladly listen.

I like Rebbeca Minkoff, Sans beast, Longchamp (Leather totes) and if it's in your budget Polene (Definitely a investment piece, I love my Numéro Dix Hobo and they're based in Spain).

nta but the givenchy pandora bag might be dated by trend but it's still a nice bag and fairly timeless in terms of look. my issue is the material. i have one in the wrinkled sheepskin (it was gifted to me) and it's very… thin. i was shocked at how fragile it feels. i haven't used it once because i worry about its construction (plus i really don't use leathers or anything but woven travelbags). if you buy the pandora or anything by givenchy don't get the sheepskin

You could try wearing a thin pair of leggings underneath, especially if you're going for baggy jeans that are currently trendy that'd be easy to do. Or wear trousers/pants made from something other than denim.
>cant wear bras with wire
bralettes
>cant wear off the shoulder tops/dresses
I don't see the problem with this? They're not common in day to day clothing.
>i struggle finding cute clothes where my bra straps don't show.
Just let them show, no one cares about seeing a bra strap. Alernatively use transparant straps (I'd rather just let my brastrap show but it's an option.

Correct me if I'm wrong but to me it sounds like you can wear nearly any dress or any skirt+top combination you can grab at the store.

I'm bag nonna and I don't care for "dated", I wore a 30 € bag to death, I will wear a 500 € bag to death. I'm not someone who changes her bag very often and therefore I'm looking for a durable, nice, practical bag. I love the Alexander Wang Rocco bag, but because of the studs it's a rather heavy bag and I'm always carrying around books and stuff, so there is enough weight in my bag already.
That Givenchy bag is really nice, especially the wrinkled sheepskin version, but if it feels thin, it might be the wrong choice for me (now I'm sad). Guess it's time to learn how to make bags, kek.

Can anyone recommend long lasting leather boots? I started to look at Doc Martens but after hearing how their quality has gone to shit since they moved their production overseas, I can't justify paying for its price.
I've started to look at Solovairs which seems to be comparable in price and quality to what Doc Martens used to be. Based on YouTube reviews and comparison, Solovair definitely lasts a lot longer than Docs. Do any nonas here own Solovair?

No. 290084

Why do you think you can't pull it off? Are they reasonable, grounded reasons, or do you just hate yourself? Secondly, what's the worst that'll happen to you if you wear a potentially unflattering outfit? You're not going to get stoned for wearing the wrong jeans.
As for concrete advice, what helped me the most in curating my wardrobe is knowing which silhouettes look best on me. I'm an hourglass so I like a cinched waist, A line dresses, cropped jackets. Beyond that I shop for materials that feel nice, and colours and prints that make me happy. IMO You're never too old to have a fave colour and as an adult it's your God given right to fill your space with it. As >>290059 said, copy/paste aesthetics are only useful to a point. Try to branch out and select individual pieces based on their merit (uniqueness, function, feeling, if it flatters you). The best way to do this, I think, is thrifting and shopping secondhand. It's a lot easier to find random/interesting things that stand out from the pile, compared to a mall or something, where these days the clothes are always grouped by style/aesthetic.

No. 290103

>>290084

Thirding this. Don't confine yourself to a single aesthetic or what you think you "should" wear. It sucks the fun out of fashion. Branch out, explore, go shopping with someone who holds different opinions, buy something you usually wouldn't and try to incorporate it into your closet. Sometimes it doesn't work out and it's a lesson learned but in my experience if I really love a piece of clothing I find ways to style it with what I already have. It forces you to think creatively and go out of your comfort zone.

Try men's silhouettes but with silk or chiffon, like the tan shirt and the green pleated pants in picrel. Accessories can really help feminine-leaning clothing take on an androgynous style, such as the Oxford shoes and black boots combined with the soft fabrics which empasize long & feminine legs/ankles in picrel. Choosing more traditionally masculine colors will also help tip otherwise neutral or feminine clothing into masculine territory.
I'm sorry if this isn't what you were asking, idk if you mean "style" as in styles/cuts/silhouettes or more like naming of specific ~aesthetics~ & when I think "low-key" I think "casual" rather than draped generally, but I hope I got your jist nonnie!

Here are some more ideas: a chiffon blazer jacket can be styled very casually. Or satin cargo shorts maybe? Camo is one of my favorites for playing up masculinity/androgyny (I always say jokingly that it makes me feel NLOG kek). You can try some pieces in satin so you can keep it low-key maybe? Or like the very bottom pic, the shorts aren't super flowy but they aren't crazy thick/structured and will relax with wear, paired with a flowy, boxy (always boxy if you want to look andro) button-up blouse. I really like small details on otherwise masc/andro clothing, such as small side slits at the hemline of shirts and shorts, or smaller less visually intrusive buttons.
This also depends on your hairstyle and general ~vibe~ of your face and body, in my opinion, so your mileage may vary! If you wanna drop more info I can possibly tailor the looks and come up with different stuff! I really enjoy this kek

So it's called a Color Analysis and you can read/DIY it yourself. This website helped me heaps: https://theconceptwardrobe.com/colour-analysis-comprehensive-guides/color-analysis-which-color-season-are-you

I'm getting mine done in person and it'll include:
-a body analysis
-style refining (Vivienne Westwood but more texture) which will use the pieces I currently love and build a wardrobe around them
-Color analysis for both clothing but also skin & hair
-Faceshape and hair styling recs
-75 piece color fan of my 'best' matches

Google Seasonal colour analysis or something along those lines to see if you can do it somewhere locally. My mom did it once and took me along and it was just at some ladies' home lol. Basically they have you sit with no make-up on in natural daylight and drape different coloured pieces of fabric over your shoulder, and make you look in the mirror to see how a colour affects your face. Like certain colours are going to make your face look more tired and aged and bring out your imperfections and others are going to make your face look more bright and healthy. You could replicate it yourself by doing that with clothes you already own, if you have a good eye for telling the temperature and brightness/muteness of colours and how they affect your face. I saw it on my mom and I could kinda tell what colours looked worse on her after that lady had pointed it out a couple of times but it's not easy imo. Like in this pic >>290174 I can't tell at all honestly. My mom got this paper palette afterwards like picrel and it's true, those colours do look best on her.

I understand feeling a bit insecure when you're trying out new clothes, especially if there aren't many other people with a similar style in your everyday life. I hope that you won't let these worries stop you from dressing how you want. Also if it doesn't fit properly, maybe you could get it tailored?

Go to the men’s section. Buy or thrift. If you wear a baggy top wear fitted jeans (slim fit or straight or flared) and if you wear baggy jeans wear a fitted top. This’ll give you a nice silhouette and will stave off the homeless anachan look. Wear funky, fun stuff, interesting prints. I like that colored and printed pants are in right now - hot pink, deep purple, newspaper print. You could always pair a wacky pair of jeans with a generic men’s top.

What about an (updated) style like Avril Lavigne's? She has a different build but in pics she was often wearing fitted tops with baggy bottoms. Obviously her style is also different than what you described but as another tall nonny who struggles with baggy clothes, this type of fit seems like a decent alternative. Tighter clothes but still gives off tomboy energy if that's what you like

That's the Kibbe method, it's aimed at middle aged women and up, just saying because you're probably not middle aged. But if you insist on figuring out your type, there's plenty of guides online and even tests to help you figure it out.

No. 290974

Yep that's called Kibbe typing. You can do a test that measures your body proportions relative to each other which determines your type. There is a Kibbe thread somewhere in /g/. Honestly though I think it's more useful to define your best feature and then figure out how to compliment it. For example I have long legs, so I often wear pinstripes, match my shoes to my pants, etc. Personally I got a lot more use out of the concept of style essences, which can help you find out what prints and details look best on you.

if you aren't really sure about your kibbe type, you can start out with implementing more classic lines. they won't be a perfect match unless you are one, but they should look fine on most women. don't let kibbe box you in of course, sure wanting to dress for your proportions is normal but don't get too autistic with it if you don't like the silhouettes suggested for you. kibbe typing doesn't really take face into account for the most part though. surely by process of elimination you can figure out which ones you definitely aren't and then can narrow in on types you fit better. You can trace a photo of yourself or post a photo to get typed.

For jeans, I think gap supposedly has a curvy line that has a smaller waist. But in general, you’re gonna have to get the waist taken in. Maybe that will add $15-20. Measure your waist where you want the pants to hit, measure your hips circumference, and measure individual thighs. Write this in a notes doc you can reference easily. Always check size charts when buying and compare to your measurements. Some brands “skew” towards being big thigh friendly and some absolutely do not. Over time, you’ll develop an intuition for which brand and styles work. Example, skinny jeans from Naked and Famous are murder on my thighs but their Max style is super relaxed and comfy without being too big on the waist.

I'm gonna buy and wear more dresses now. I'm sick of not being able to find trousers that completely fit me no matter what the price tag is since I gained a little bit of weight. I'm still skinny, but my ass and stomach are bigger now so I usually either find trousers (jeans or otherwise) that are too long for my legs, or that are the perfect length but I can't even fit my hips inside. The few pairs I have are a bit uncomfortable but the stores I bought them from are either abroad or have closed down in my country and I hate ordering shit online. Uniqlo in my country doesn't always have my size for trousers because the sizes are adjusted here for the local customers compared to Japan but I really like their dresses, they look casual and basic enough to go with any pair of shoes, jackets or accessories. And they're long and comfortable. Now I need to buy good quality stockings for this fall though.

Nona, you can always deviate from what you want to emulate based on what you like. If you like the bracelet, wear it. It might look odd if you're going for a super professional look, but for a casual day-to-day look it most likely would not stick out at all no matter what you're wearing, because it looks like a pretty casual accessory if that makes sense

I think it's cute and it looks fine. As other anons said just keep in mind that it won't work if you're trying to look super professional/glamorous/etc., but for daily wear it's perfectly fine. Pair it with some earth tones. Find other jewellery to match if you like it enough. Unless you're going to an event with a strict dress code (like a wedding or something) nobody is going notice or care. And anyone willing to bully you over a bracelet is an asshole whose opinion doesn't matter.
I know we all love fashion ITT so it's important to all of us, but some of you seem really hung up on what other people think of your style choices. It makes me sad. I want everyone to feel confident enough to wear what they enjoy, without letting imaginary insults from strangers take bites out of their self esteem.

NTA but for daily lolita my go-to outfit is a plainer jsk or skirt (no petticoat) with a cutsew or turtleneck, lace tights, and my faux victorian boots. The boots are brown so I mostly use neutral offwhite tops and try to pick main pieces with a suitable color palette. My personally style leans more muted sweet with lots of BTSSB rather than AP pastel explosion so the colors tend to work better. I just bought another pair of those boots in black, so my color options can expand. I guess the overall look is more "otome" than lolita but it means I wear the pieces I love. My philosophy is that I enjoy what I wear and not every outfit has to be social media suitable and perfect.

I just wore normal coords with a smaller petti but paid more attention to fabric and details. I wore mostly cotton JSKs that have basic cuts. and avoided buying more fragile pieces with lace overlays, satin, etc. that are easily damaged. A solid set of undergarments to protect your clothes from the inside is something I recommend along with good leather boots that are suitable for walking long distances. Pick fabric accessories like wristcuffs over jewelry that tends to be fragile and get caught in stuff.

For socks I mostly wore basic OTKs with a frill or lace at the top that you can get on aliexpress and other such places, but Innocent World socks are also everything-proof in my experience. Innocent World in general has a lot of very sturdy pieces.

So today at my local thrift store, I bought a Reformation skirt for 10$. However, I'm having some trouble making sure it's 100% legit. I am following a guide online that someone wrote for their dresses. There are no misspellings on the care tag and the size tag is sewn in next to it. The fabric tag on the waistband is stitched down on the sides, which is a sign of the real deal, according to the guide. However, that's different compared to this depop listing of the same skirt, which just has one stitch at the top of the tag, as well as white thread instead of black on the care tag. Is that suspicious, or am I just reading into it too much?

Then, there's also the issue where when I bought the skirt, I hadn't properly read the tag, and didn't realize it was a size 20 when I am a 10. Is it worth having someone take it in for me? Would love some advice.

As for whether it’s worth it to tailor, depends on how much you like the piece! If you really like it then go ahead. If you’re iffy on it then maybe donate the piece back. If you know some sewing you can try taking the waist and sides in, it’s not that hard.

what is this kind of top called? ruffle/frill layered/tiered camisole comes up with nothing but ugly shite not in this shape at all. they were all cropped. i absolutely hate this either cropped or oversized clothes epidemic for the love of god when are clothes going to be regular sized again
all i know is the brand is liz lisa but that's not what im looking for, i want to know what this kind of top is called in general regardless of the brand.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I’m shopping for a pair of slim black sweatpants/joggers for my nigel’s birthday. Currently it’s between the “Nike Sportswear Club Fleece Joggers” (68 dollars) which are made of 80–82% cotton/18–20% polyester
OR the lululemon City Sweat jogger (128 dollars) which are made of 52% Polyester, 42% Cotton, 6% Lycra.
OR Roots Organic Original Sweatpants (84 dollars) which are 80% organic cotton, 20% recycled polyester fleece.
I know nothing about clothing material except that polyester is not the best. Looking at the lululemon ones, they seem the worst but I really like the brand and have items from there that have lasted more than a decade with minimal damage. All the pants look more or less the same but the feel of the lulu ones is nicer than the feel of the nike ones (i went in store to check)
thoughts anyone?

Polyester will be warmer that cotton, I know that much. A polyester & cotton blend will be okay, it won't feel like plastic. The original sweats by Roots appear like regular sweatpants because there's not a cuff on the bottom, idk how much you care about that tho. If you're looking for regular sweatpants and are a Burger I highly suggest LA Apparel 14 oz. Heavy Fleece Pants, I have some and a hoodie of the same fabric and they are fantastic. Looking for fabric weight per yard is a good indication of how thick fabric will be (ie LA Apprel Sweats are 14oz/yd) but I looked and none of the pants you posted have that info. Those are all teally nice nonna! Personally I would go with the Lululemon because there isn't a giant stupid logo on them. Ridiculous pricing, but that's personal preference.

No. 293734

>>293720
I prefer cotton to polyester and I hate polyester fleece. Personally, I would look for something 100% cotton, but that's because I feel like polyester is way too warm for my taste. It also depends on the kind of cotton they used, there are huge differences, but most companies won't tell you what cotton it is. If you own lululemon and are very happy with how they lastet and if for your taste it feels nice, I would go for them.
So, for my personal taste I would only buy 100% cotton roughened french terry (don't know if you call it that in English) for sweatpants, but I'm very biased when it comes to fabric, happens when you have to work with it, kek. If you made good experiences with one brand and feel like they are still up to that standard, go for it, honestly, nothing wrong about it and yes, it's a "lot" of polyester, but for some people it's the perfect choice and polyester comes in different forms with different purposes. And like nonna before, I hate such huge logos, after all you paid good money for that brand, you don't have to be a walking advertisement.

No. 293754

>>293725
Merci so much! This is good info. Sadly not a burger but I looked at the pants and they look super cozy, love that its 98 percent US cotton. I know the lululemon has a pretty high price but I'm willing to pay more if it's good quality because he tends to buy cheap H&M shit that get ruined in like a year from wear. The Roots ones do have a big giant logo kek I was thinking about that, I don't mind them on the salt and pepper colour but it looks bad on black I think.
Side note: the wesbite for the pants says
>Our experienced sewers earn up to $25 an hour and no less than $16
Is that supposed to be good? 16 dollars an hour is nothing. I mean it's a dollar above minimum wage kek
>>293734
wow thanks, its cool you're super knowledge about fabrics. I did a quick search for 100 percent cotton ones and couldn't find any. It gets cold here so I'm not too worried about them being too warm, I just don't want them to pill or get super rough after like two washes like cheap ones do.
Thank you so much nonnas, I think I'm going to just go for the lululemon ones!

16$ an hour as a sewer is a lot, in my (first world) country I would earn minimum wage in that job, that's now 12 € (around 11,50 $), before that it's been 9,50 € and we have high rents and everything got so expensive, you can't live from that kind of money. I'm a learned dressmaker and I would never earn 25$ only for sewing, kek. Therefore, I love you nonna, for paying a higher price for good craftsmanship, wish everyone would do that instead of just buying huge amounts of cheap shit they never wear.

Many apologies, but I want to piggyback off this–what sweatpant material is near immune to pilling and fairly resistant to getting stuff stuck on it that isn't a strange one (like velvet)? Is cotton really just it? I've been wanting tapered, big ones but pretty much to this day have failed. I ended up finding a brand new pair of Vuoris at the thrift store in a bout of dumb luck, though the smooth material is super prone to getting hair stuck on it, plus doesn't really retain the shape so looks baggy even if it's slim-fit.

Yes and no. Yes they are out but anyone who's not a fashion victim will see that there's still plenty of women and even teen girls wearing their skinny jeans because most people can't and/or don't want to change their whole warderobe on the whims of the fashion trends.

>>293720
This is the unpopular opinion but I'm not actually a big fan of cotton pieces, especially bottoms. I started switching to 100% cotton pieces when I realized how much nicer this random cotton shirt I got felt and how my other clothes suddenly felt like plastic in comparison. But after a while of wearing my new cotton purchases I noticed that I had a much tougher time getting stains out of my new pieces (turns out natural fabrics indeed stain more easily when I googled it) and my cotton jeans ripped noticeably quicker than my polyester blend jeans. So I'm personally leaning towards believing that cotton/polyester blends are actually a decent choice.

sometimes it has something to with the dye they used, when it's more "on" the fabric, hair can stick to it. Fabric production and resources used is a very big area and depending on what they use and how they process things you will have different outcomes. For example you have different length of cotton fibres and the shorter the fibre, the more pilling you will get, as there are more fibre ends sticking out of the fabric. If I have the choice, I prefer pima cotton (extra long stable cotton) and if you like a silky and more "shiny" appearance, look out for mercerised cotton. When I go shopping I take a small fabric piece that always loses a lot of lint with me and go over the thing I might want to buy with it, to see how much keeps on sticking on the fabric. I also test the things I would like to buy if they lose the dye very fast with a slightly wet piece of white fabric.
Polyester just has the advantage that the person making it can decide which characteristics the fibre should have and they can make it that way. That's why most sportswear is made of polyester, it dries faster and you can equip it with stuff like "anti smell" things, etc.

the easiest rule to follow is to combine more fitted clothes w/ looser clothes, ie a baggy top and more form-fitting pants, or baggy/wide-legged pants with a tighter top. this is why her center outfit looks the least cringe (imo), cause at least it kinda has that balance that the other two lack, until you get to her goofy shoes.
the other option would be to create kind of a "shapeless" silhouette through all oversized/baggy clothes, but those are harder to give advice on. the two outfits on either side are truly hideous, and part of that has to do with how chaotic the silhouette is

Nta but a good pair of leather shoes/jacket/bag/whatever can last you decades (although it's very difficult to actually find that quality today). I'm not denying that leather requires SOME animal cruelty but it can minimize it when people make the deliberate choice to own no more than truly needed and take care of their belongings for decades if not a lifetime. If everyone did this down the line it'd result in the least harm to animals possible. Your fast fashion also disposes a lot of chemicals into waterways affecting animals and their habitats, just not as directly as killing a cow for it's skin, except most fast fashion lasts only a fraction of the time leather can. I'd also rather buy a bag or a pair of shoes once made by someone who's compensated fairly for what they made than repeatedly buying clothes that were made by poor girls and women under inhumane working conditions. You know they even get locked up, forced and blackmailed in those factories there to make the tshirt or shoes you buy at Zara? Funny how that never seems to be a concern for vegans who pride themselves on not having purchased a pair of boots a cow had to be killed for.

so meat is thrown out, you idiot? all parts of animals are used because it's wasteful to raise them just for leathers. and you didn't hear about vegetable tanning ever? which is way more enviromentally friendly than typical process using lot of harmful chemicals with heavy metals. microplastics are massive problem and PU and other shitty fake leathers are made from fucking petroleum, they last less and can flake easily. and real leather has bigger chances of degrading than plastics that can take 500 years to degrade. real leather lasts years and you won't replace leather shoes/jackets/bags as much you do with plastic crap. i don't care about fucking animals, domesticated cows and other farm animals were domesticated for human use. i guess you're one of these militant vegans who would let domesticated farm animals out just to wreck ecosystems "because muh no suffering". you probably don't care about people too, dumb cow is more important than curbing consoomerism and avoiding materials that wreck environment more. until 00s real leather was even used by fast fashion chains and some of these pieces i see listed second-hand still look decent.

that's just it, the fashion industry is one of the big factors to environmental pollution, but it's more important to be trendy than owning what you really need.

My leather shoes I've been wearing for 5 years now, a little bit of leather care and they look like new, if I resole them in the future, I can wear them the next 5 to 10 years.
Honestly, I think it would help if people that like fashion would have to make one basic outfit themselves under the circumstances people in the country there clothes come from had to make them, guess 90% would never buy at Primark, H&M, Zara, etc again.

I have very curvy stomach and hips, so I look great when I accentuate my waist and hips with a pencil skirt or fit n flare shape but if I wear regular jeans+t shirt combo I look wide in the middle.

I love unique clothes too. Like cool prints or mismatched buttons or more Avant Garde stuff. I thrift a lot to find unique pieces.

Looking to buy some warmer clothes for winter since I don't have many clothes. Kept seeing ads for this kind of coat, and I can't decide if I love or hate it. I think it almost looks a little too cutesy and a bit too much for day-to-day wearing. Might keep looking, but a more subdued style would be cute. I guess I like the shawl and bows and the like. Reviews said it was pretty warm and well-made but the candid pictures I saw looked a bit tacky. Anyways, any thoughts?

Hi nonnies! What are some basic, versatile and comfy brown boots that are pretty lowkey? Waterproof preferred. I wear a lot of sweaters, sweatshirts, and other casual-ish clothing.
I'm still not decided on whether or not I want laces or not or if it matters or creates a more sporty vibe. Also, is the tone of brown relevant to how versatile boots are? I love rich browns.

i used to go on /fa/ years ago (embarrassing to admit) and even tho it was obviously all about mens fashion there was actually a decent amount that cared about high end shit so it was ok. it has devolved into total shit newfag posts tho so i stopped going there.
for mens fashion in general there seems to be a lot of guys who make content but i can't find any about female fashion that does the same. i have only found channels about accessories or cheap teen/fast fashion clothing

Marks & Spencers do really good bras and aren't as expensive as you'd think. They always have good ones on sale. I bought a genius bra on there for like £12 at most I think - it's a simple unpadded and non-wire one with a longer band around the back for support and it's so comfortable and silky but doesn't show any nipple. I would 100% recommend trying something from there

Because women are forced to participate in fashion as part of beauty standards, most beauty sites aimed at women will be relatively normie. Men who are into fashion are doing it out of choice, not obligation, which is why male fashion blogs tend to be more in-depth. Without gatekeeping, most female fashion forums will become general "what clothes wear" forums over time. If you want, start an "expensive/designer fashion" thread and state that it's for discussion of high fashion, I'm sure several nonnas will join you there.

If you're looking for a community, try /r/ffacj_discussion. It's slow but unlike /r/femalefashionadvice you won't get pilloried for wanting to buy expensive clothes. /r/expensivehumanfashion is gender neutral and mostly operates on their discord, but is much more active. PurseForum is exclusively focused on designer brands and relatively active, but it's mostly for purses and shoes, and it's a very particular aesthetic.

the-rosenrot.com has the blog of actual fashion designer with good commentary. youlookfab.com is aimed at old ladies but posts a lot of trends and pricier outfit recs. bluecollarredlipstick is a blog and an instagram of an artsy woman who posts both on fashion and interior design and the connection to art history.

It sounds like the styles you like are modest, feminine, and fun. Lolita and vintage can both be pretty overwhelming if you don't have much of a fashion sense yet, so I would recommend starting with things that are more toned down. It'll be easier to style and you'll feel more confident. I'd start out with 1 or 2 pairs of nice neutral colored shoes, some cardigans (boleros are pretty in right now and should suit your taste), and some casual dresses.

If you don't know what brands/styles you want start with, explore for a while on Pinterest/insta/TikTok. Some keywords to start with might be "twee" (not super trendy right now but whatever) "softgirl" "girly" "pastel". To make sure you don't go for inspo that's out of date, try to make sure it was posted in the last ~3 years. Also, try buying your clothes in person first. That way you can feel the fabric and make sure clothes fit you how you would like. If you're feeling spendy, a lot of department stores even have personal shoppers available.

I think the difference is that the skirt was a professional photo, whereas the flats seemed personally taken. It's worth it to try no matter what kind of photo it is, but just generally speaking it's easier to find professional/commercial photographs through reverse image search.

Whenever I wear pearls I tend to match the colors more than anything, so whatever goes with that off white pearl color. I also used to wear pearls more when I dressed vintage (like 40s). The fact that your necklace is made of small pearls I think makes them more versatile than normal sized pearls that look more dated and heavy. It depends on the necklace though. I think simple, minimal, clean outfits or more layered textured outfits (like mori kei) could work.

I looked in two thrift stores and the only thing that vaguely resembled what I want was a sweatshirt. I snatched it and it's the comfiest thing I've ever worn, but yeah, I still want a jacket.

I recognized everything I buy is just because I'm thinking that others may like it. And that I do not have fun with fashion and I have no clue what I'm doing. And I guess not everyone needs to be into fashion. My retarded mind is stuck in highschool and thought I need to be a fashionista to be likeable. That's why I'm dressing like a clown Maybe some nice anon can help me out. I just want to look put together, with a boring ass and safe outfit because I'm really not into fashion. I would like to dress like a business lady. But I have no idea where to start really no idea I'm so lost. If anyone has tips would be so nice… Maybe I check YouTube videos later too.

I think it's the fabric, pattern and accesoiries choices that can make a dress look casual. Colour-wise a jewel tone or dusty colour (whatever looks good on your skintone) would be nice. A maxi-dress would probably be good because it looks more formal and it's a bit nicer against the cold. Asos has nice budget-friendly options.

I know it's such a basic shirt, but how could I dress it up and make an interesting outfit with it?

I usually don't wear color and thought I'd buy this to move out of my comfort zone a bit (the color looks much more vibrant in person) and would like ways to make it look less basic. Was thinking of pairing it with a black faux leather skirt with tights and ankle boots?

No. 298200

Are there any black over knee boots that are actual good quality and not sweatshop fast fashion? I'm basically thinking of really long Doc Martins or something with a zipper since I don't do heels and suck at laces. Or is there anything that achieves the same feel that's not overtly fetishy?

First thing I thought, faux leather pants and heavy boots, ankle boots with these heavy platforms would look great too, they're pretty popular nowadays; so we have very similar idea here. I'd either fully tuck the shirt or french tuck it. Small leather backpack or handbag as an accessory.
Otherwise, kinda similar but less edgy because not leather, pants and shoes like picrel, shirt fully tucked, black beret maybe?

You're kind of like me. I generally don't care about what I wear too much and am not that creative and so I stick to basic pieces/neutral palettes. This has led me to wear east coast ivy league prep style clothing. It's really basic and my clothes usually consist of a sweater, jeans, loafers, basic t-shirts, and cardigans. However, this is a very costly fashion style. If you wear the wrong, cheap pieces you'll look incoherent or like a tryhard. If you overdo it (wearing pieces like tennis sweaters outside of the court), you'll look like a preppy caricature. Requires a lot of research and has a list of brands to buy from. It was simple enough for me and the research was fun. Also wear more colors that suit your skintone; this is especially easy to follow in a neutral palette. The image you attached is pretty frumpy. Make sure you have clothes that actually fit you and flatter your body.

It unironically feels rebellious to wear too amongst all the gaudy Depop type outfits people wear now.

Preppy can be either VERY casual or highly affected and can also be more cutesy and scruffy. Not kawaii or egirl cutesy, more cheeky. Think rolled up pants cuffs, patched up blazers, unbuttoned or rumpled collars, pattern mixing, worn down shoes, short hemlines, sportswear worn with more formal clothing for a high low mix. Business casual is meant to look rather boring and sexless-the most you can get away with is a loud print. While a blazer, an Oxford shirt, and a pair of loafers may be items the two styles share in common, one would wear different items or style them differently in both contexts. As much as J.

my friend wears super cute clothes, she has basically picked a "theme" for her life (a plant she likes) and bases her whole style around it, it sounds a bit silly but i really admire that and i think her whimsical vibe suits her perfectly. plus i can't imagine anyone ever has trouble finding gifts to give her lol. i also want to have a "thing" like that but i'd wanna pick 50 different things because of my commitment issues ughh (picture is just an example btw, neither of us dress anything like that but it's still cute)

Being obsessed with one thing to the point it translates into the clothes you wear is quite childlike in my opinion. It reminds me of little children wanting to have everything they have to be about dolphins or horses or space. But I guess it could be cute when it's someone who's a bit whimsical or eccentric.. but doing it for the sake of wanting to have a themed aesthetic like your friend is just.. no.. Your friend probably has the right, genuine energy for it to make it cute, you don't if you have to strategically, deliberately settle for something to get the aesthetic.

I don't see it as childish but I agree with the other nona (>>299999) that it's really obvious when someone dresses this way because they're eccentric and think everything is cuter with cherries on it versus when someone is trying to emulate that.
However, the overall thing you want is achievable. What do you like so much that you would wear at least one image of it every day? If you like horses, congrats, every store on this planet sells something with a horse on it. Go nuts. If you like pangolins, you're going to spend many years slowly accumulating the odd knick-knack or piece of jewelry. Be patient.

as someone who does dress mono-thematically like this, it happened gradually. I like the color red and heart motifs and over time, just buying what I liked without much thought the majority of what I owned was red and/or had hearts on it kek.

I live in Ohio where it sometimes gets -15F in the winter. The reason the aritzia puffers are so warm & so expensive is that they use “responsibly sourced” goose down. Down is much warmer than any poly fill material could be, and it costs a lot to get down from mills that aren’t excessively torturing their birds before slaughter.

Picrel is a cottage core look from Galliano’s years as creative director—that tiny man was ahead of his time. I’m usually not a fan of cottage core stuff either. I also love Galliano’s usage of rococo, mod, and 1920s(?) fashion.

Galliano was a visionary. Spring 2004 is one of my favorite runways of all time. He put out so many amazing collections that it's really hard to pick a favorite. The stuff that passes for couture now is laughable.

but with the other photos it's all so weird.
but then who do you point the finger at?? how many knew??? was it just one guy that was designing the sets being a creep or was it a whole team??? most people wouldn't notice stuff like that

i should mention i have had the matching bag to the shoes for almost a year… so if i return the shoes do i just say fuck the bag and never use it again? it was still a big purchase for me so i feel wasteful. if i just continue using the bag like i was before do i get labeled as a pedo supporter or something

Nonas, do you have experiences in buying underwear online?
I really need a good place that specially has big size bras for women who aren't big themselves, when i have to look for one IRL i just end up crying because it's really stressful and i feel like there's nothing that fits me.
If i find something decent, it's some ugly cream colored grandma looking one that wears off in 2 months.

I hope i don't ask for too much but i don't like to wear mismatched stuff and i like lacy/floral/frilly designs (nothing childish), i just wish to wear something that i feel comfortable in but also like.

I remember a fuckton of detailed cute tops and blouses being sold in 2012 or so and I happened to be kind of broke then, sad. After the peter pan collars were over, there was this kind of lacy dainty era of tops with delicate ribbons and whatever. So I look forward to this resurgence, whenever it will happen.

Of course I am an adult now with more income so it shouldn't matter to me what H&M or whatever the fuck is selling. It's more how I remember looking and wanting and deciding I needed to spend my money on a pair of decent professional shoes (here I mean a pair of €60 shoes for interviews) vs. on stuff that looked pretty but might fall apart. But I have all these weird memories of finally being interested in owning pretty things and then just having to browse and turn away.

nonnies, please help. I have to attend a wedding and I thought I would feel confident in a dress I had already, but I'm going through something hormonal. I have a big cyst on my ovary (next ultrasound will determine what gets done about it), and I look puffy where normally I have a slim/flat stomach. I've been working out as normal and dealing with the pain but it's driving me insane that am going to my friend's wedding and potentially looking weird or bloated.

Some of it is my BDD but I don't care, I want to look pretty and not weird. The dress isn't bodycon or anything but now I feel like I want to cover up. I will reply later with a pic because this fucking moid sitting behind me keeps gawking at my screen whenever I pull up dress, fuck him. It's a spaghetti strap dress kind of like picrel, just shorter (right above my knee) and with more chest coverage.

Is there a type of blazer I could get to make myself feel better? Not necessarily to cover the abdomen but as a mental comfort for my BDD? Or is there a universally flattering dress I can buy somewhere? Wedding is in a warm climate. Dress code is "festive" or basically whatever we want. I'm 171cm, size small but with larger chest (28 or 30E cup size). So I need to be able to wear a bra. I have a strapless bra already. I just want to look cute and confident even if my abdomen looks puffy, nonnies

Piggybacking off >>297433, careful with the color. I have a pink one and the stains don’t lift much. The material it is made of makes it naturally water resistant, but I’ve heard that you still have to be careful and gentle when washing of course. I would take mine to school and the blue sweaters I would wear left blue stains all over the back and bottom. I really hate it, and I only noticed it until it was too late. It also just has a lot of stains on the edges. That being said (I’ve also had mine for 5 years), it held up. The only thing wrong is that the zippers inside tend to fray a lot.

I miss 2010-2016 fashion because it felt unapologetically cute. It had simplicity while still having detail. I’m not even minimalist in my fashion, but I feel like lots of the fashion I see nowadays is shit flinging to see what sticks and being bored. I also feel like maybe I’m really stuck in this kind of fashion because it was something I felt I understood inside and out. I’ve seen how fashion developed after this, but I didn’t feel like I was part of it anymore. I’m glad lookbook still exists so I could look at old outfits like this and old lolita coords.

The outsole and heel, you can't see well on that image because it's on a black floor but the outsole is a black platform and then a heel has this glass look to it. Picrel is on a lighter background. Olympia Le Tan are stilettos. Toe box and heal seam on the originals are also more ballet shoe like. When you take a deeper look they're not that similar, no one really owns the ballet shoe style, if Le Tan's didn't have the little bow on the toebox I wouldn't have made the connection.

nonna, you saved my life tbh. I got that dress in dark grey and brought a cropped jacket in case I got cold (I didn't). It worked very well. I did wear some compression high-waisted underwear to make myself feel better. I'm still upset that this happened right before the event but you helped me out a lot. I didn't have anyone else to help me! I'm just eager to have a verdict on what will happen with the cyst. I'm not even eating much because I feel full all the time.

So I got this dress for an event next month, and I can zip it up but it wrinkles a lot along the sides not like the picture even though it’s a thicker fabric, especially around my waist. Is this a sizing issue or an issue from it being strapless? I like it and how it fits overall but this kind of makes it look sloppy imo which bothers me because I want to look my best

I thought about diy but I can't even find any jeans with the same fit. I saw some scrote on yt try to replicate them and he chose straight leg jeans?

I want to stop buying fast fashion bullshit(target, kohls, Forever 21) and actually get pieces I can maintain for years. How do you determine what is “quality”. Not opposed to thrifting for dresses/tops/skirts but I have a real aversion for second hand for pants/shorts.

No. 308142

>>308103
There's no such thing as durable clothing that's easy to maintain. If you don't take good care of your stuff, it falls apart. I have many fast fashion items that I have owned and worn for 10 years. These days most expensive brand clothing and cheap brand clothing use similar quality of material, and although the QC and finishing is usually better on more expensive brands, if you can tell when something is cut wrong or seams are crooked, etc, there's not much difference. IF you go out looking for any one basic item, like a plain white collared shirt, you will notice that there's absolutely no difference in trendiness/fabric quality/cut quality between a $400 shirt from Nordstrom and a $20 shirt from H&M.

No. 308175

Buy shit that isn't made in China. Look for stuff made from 100% cotton, 100% merino wool/virgin wool. Quality stuff can be checked by the stitching, the quality of the fabric, as well as the country of origin. Fer instance, I have some vintage Brooks Brothers polo shirts made in the U.S. (shocking, I know), and they've lasted a damn long time. Look for brands like Brooks Brothers, Marc Jacobs, basically any yuppie/WASP brand, and look for vintage that way.

Minimizer bras exist(they push away and compress your boobs, like a sports bra) but the best minimizing bra will be any unlined seamed bra that fits you correctly and provides enough support. Have you been fitted right? If not check r/abrathatfits. Their calculator was a game changer for me.

Oh I realized I didn't explain why minimizers don't work. They flatten your boobs from the front, spreading them out over more surface area and widening your entire torso in the process. A good unpadded bra with support pushes your boobs more to the front and upwards and creates a slimming effect.

No. 309591

>>308103
Pay attention to seams. How is the stitching? Are there any loose threads? Are the seams reinforced? If there’s a pattern, did they match up the pattern? Seams are a good indicator of quality.

Design warning signs to look out for: drawstrings, non-functional pockets or buttons, exposed zippers, sheer and flimsy fabric, tops that only have a pattern on one side, unlined dresses/jackets/skirts. While these are not always indicative of poor quality and can sometimes be stylistic choices, they tend to show that the designer cut corners.

I am not sure if this really counts as fashion, but does anybody have any suggestions for exotic/trendy but still good quality lingerie? I've been recently wanting one or two pieces/sets of the impractical lingerie you see cows and ethots preening in (such as this example that Shayna wore kek. I find it cute, sue me), but a lot of it comes from cheap ass places like Shein. I'd take something a bit less "trendy" in design if it means that maybe it's not doused in industrial chemicals.

Research into independent brands, they're usually expensive but good quality & fit. Trendy thot lingerie are in that shein fast fashion circle. I follow a UK brand called Buttress & Snatch, they do more vintage/pinup inspired stuff but it's all handmade & they use sustainable fabrics, picrel is one of their cute set

Kind of. Might be different for you, but sometimes I see something that I superficially like or a style that I think looks cool, so I screenshot it to look at a little while later and then realize that it looks kinda juvenile or impractical and I wouldn't really have a setting in which I could wear it, so I end up ditching the idea of looking for it. I am generally a pretty impulsive person with poor sense so whenever I feel really excited about something I just take note of it and then analyze it later once the excitement has died down and I can analyze it more objectively.

Maybe you’re using clothing as a way to reinvent yourself or not be bored instead of confronting your real issues, so you keep getting into a cycle of trying to buy a new identity and then getting bored with it because you realize it isn’t fulfilling .
To be honest, I usually just put limits on the clothing I buy so they all end up cohesive, regardless of style (color palette, fabric, print).

I've considered getting one or two of these shirts since they look easy to style with what I already wear often, being white or light colored shirts, black pants, boots, casual jewelry and sometimes a hat. Dunno if there's a point in going into the specifics. I already own button down shirts in both white and black, and I wonder if a sleeveless one would look cute when the weather gets hotter, but when I looked to see if I wanted to buy one, most of them seemed rather thin and poorly fitted, so I decided not to buy any, since it would just look baggy and sloppy rather than cute and casual. Has anyone made these work? I like wearing white button downs with black pants because of the versatility, and I wonder if I'm honestly just being autistic about this and there's no point in even fussing over something so minuscule when I already noted that most of them seem poorly fitted or of low quality material.

All white collared shirts for women are made of tissue paper instead of fabric. Most aren't even finished anymore, it's just a big square box with holes for your arms and head.

You should go for cuts that flatter a bigger chest, like v-necks and wrap tops. Personally, I like turtlenecks but I know that's controversial kek. I prefer tops to be tight, to accentuate my waist and avoid the frumpy look. Also, avoid very heavy fabrics, heavy chunky knits, structured shirts etc. Flowy, thinner fabrics drape better imo. Look for shirts/dresses with darts that help create a nice silhouette in the chest. Avoid detailing around the chest and neckline, like pockets, frills etc. Maybe vidrel will be useful to you.

Does anyone else find it super annoying how styling tutorials are almost always about fighting against what you naturally have?
Like if you have large boobs, stylists tell you wear this to make them look smaller, if you have small breasts they tell you what to wear to make them look bigger etc. Same with makeup, it’s usually all about trying to create the illusion of the opposite of what you naturally have.
I even see stylists and makeup artists trying to ‘correct’ features that are desirable a lot of the time. It’s really irritating.

No. 311875

It depends on how large your bust actually is and your overall silhouette and build.

Commonly given advice like "minimal details in the chest area" might not work for a tall, wide shouldered woman with a more dramatic inverted triangle body type for example, I am something like a 30I with this body shape and it looks better if I go for a 80s type silhouette and proportionally large details that will fill the wide surface, rather than small things that will make me look comically wide due to disproportion.

If you are a more "common" kind of busty with an all over balanced body shape see >>311869 and also, V-necks and wrap tops are indeed solid advice for every body type. My own personal controversial piece of advice is keyhole/boob window tops (if you have a good bra there won't be too much cleavage) they look elegant if you pick a color like wine red or beige in a ribbed knit and wear them with pants, and another thing I rarely see recommended is getting a good quality denim top that can hold your breasts by itself, it's good for summer.

This doesn't make sense. You can break in plastics and coated leathers, it just won't be as quick or comfortable as a natural leather. You really think a coated leather shoe or a plastic shoe NEVER breaks in? Materials are going to bend and wear with use.

The ones I used to wear until they got too damaged are from a Japanese store I can't go to because I'm in Europe right now and from New Look from before the store in my city closed down, and it seems like the few New Look stores left are only in the UK and in Ireland.

It's not just the waist that would be an issue though. I either find pairs that fit me when it comes to the waist but that are way too long AND large for my legs, or it fits for my legs but I can't even actually wear it because my ass can't fit inside at all. I think if I were to buy a pair of jeans in that situation I would have to change too many things for it to actually look good on me. I thought about just buying pairs that are a bit too long and just make them a bit shorter but they would still look bad on me for other reasons.

>>312394
> By the way, Zara and Mango have pretty okay jeans
It's been years since I went to Mango, I should check the store nearby because the last time I went there I had a much smaller budget and I was too skinny to wear anything from there. As for Zara, I hate it. I feel like I can't find basics because of how often they change their collections, everytime I find good things there it's a coincidence. Last time I went there a few weeks ago I only bought two tops because all the pairs of jeans I found looked like pic related at the ankles and there's no way in hell I'm wearing this at my job.

I have these two ideas for you, the pink dress is cute, I honestly think it's better to look overdressed than underdressed.
I don't know about sweating tbh, just wear a really strong deodorant and take any pictures with your arms up before the party begins, then check yourself out in the bathroom from time to time if you're very self conscious about it, maybe keep some wet wipes and napkins around to clean yourself throughout the party.
I think these two dresses are nice, I'm also looking for ideas with pants, I will post them later.
These dresses are fancy but classy, the length of both are nice, not too long, not too short. And you could wear boots with them as long as they're not straight up frumpy combat boots with wear and tear.
You could wear some nice, simple tights with some really nice boots, I will post examples of nice boots just in case.

Advice on mixing styles? I keep wanting to change my style from hippie-ish to folk inspired and back/forth. I love both but folk clothing and accessories are usually quite expensive because of the age so I can't just go out and buy a whole folk wardrobe much as I wish I could. What is a cheap way to mix in style X with style Y without having it look strange/out of place? I will say I'm lucky in the regard that my normal style goes fairly well with folk elements because they have similarities (lots of flowers/similar patterns/fringes and embroidery, fairly similar silhouettes in the sense of being quite loose).

No. 313263

>>313236
My general rule of thumb is:
Similar motifs and patterns
cohesive metal tones
cohesive colour scheme

I've found this works with my wardrobe which I'm building inspired by the idea of a 'Mari Lwyd goes to a smashing pumpkins concert after beating a Vivienne Westwood store clerk that couldn't come up with anymore rhymes as to why I couldn't ransack their store'

No. 313274

This is great advice. I'd also personally try to stick with only one "loud"/statement piece of clothing or accessory, so it doesn't look like the styles are trying to dominate each other.

Voriagh, Little Women Atelier, Linennaive, Kaneko… Most of these type of brands are expensive though.

If you don't mind synthetic fabrics you can probably find fancy stuff on Taobao as some chinese lolita brands such as Miss Point and Foxtrot also sell more subdued vintage inspired pieces. If you have a lower budget, browse secondhand fashion sites for vintage pieces (lots of pieces with 30s-40s vibes that are actually from the 80s and therefore cheap, also look for brands that sell dirndl, they sometimes carry more unconspicous long skirts/dresses made of plain linen and some nice blouses). Pinup brands like Hell Bunny, Collectif, Banned etc. sometimes sell suitable pieces as well, especially around fall when they pull out the tartans and all that, and you can find them secondhand for decent prices.

I'm still building the wardrobe but here's a inspo post. And I can't really say how I came up with this 'Mari Lywd goes grunge' other than I have a very vivid imagination and this idea gave me the giggles for a week.
I'm going to focus on texture, dyes, customizations and high quality statement items. Unusual fabrics for structured items like over sized leather blazers, iridescent two-toned velvet dresses that hug and amplify everything. Prints don't matter as long as the colours match; gold jewellery shaped like coins, hardware & figa hand charms. Whatever you think you'd discover in a welsh bog, I want to wear as an accessory or in my wavy hair.

I still wear whatever I like around the house & gym but I'm moving away from lolita and want to keep some fun/whimsies to my everyday dressing in the form of an annoying pun-telling horse ghost that doesn't know when it's not welcome.

No. 313874

>>313869
I'm not sure if I've been depressed tbh, but whenever I have too many intrusive thoughts I go for the safest options, it's always good to keep some blouses or button up shirts around, loose ones with neutral colors or with colors that you really really like, so you can put on some denim pants and any shoes, preferably something like flats or moccasins even.
Whenever I feel sad I try to look as decent as possible so I can make myself feel better, as in wearing clean clothes that kind of match each other.
So yeah, don't go all black, try to add some colors or patterns, like maybe an animal print sweater or with flowers, get some funny socks, try to match your hair accessories with your clothes and glasses, being all matchy matchy with your stuff is a good way to lift your spirits because then, when you look at yourself, even if you're wearing some frumpy pajamas, you will feel like you're at least somewhat trying.
And you may not think it's important but it's actually important to have underwear that doesn't have any holes or random bleach spots, having clean and neat underwear is nice, you don't need to wear shit with lace and sheer parts, just having some cotton underwear that's clean, doesn't have any holes, fits you nicely as in it isn't too tight or too lose and matches even if they're not from the same brand/store, feels great.
So start from the smallest stuff, like your underwear and hair accessories that you use to keep your hair out of your face, match your home slippers, your socks and such, doing so can make you feel better because you will feel like not everything is out of control.
And make sure all of your clothes are okay, if they have random holes that shouldn't be there, damaged patterns and such, then you will have to donate those, if they're too tight or too lose, donate those as well and get new stuff that fits or maybe learn how to recycle your old clothes or even sell them.
Cleaning up your closet and making it all matching and "limited" helps a lot with keeping everything organized but it also helps with making yourself look more sharp I guess.
I'm rambling but that's just what I tend to do so I feel better, I hope this works.

Depends on which country the brand is from. If the country is somewhere obesity is common, the sizing will be bigger and it has more to do with buyers being fat/tall rather than vanity sizing.
For example, Asian brands have super small sizing while American brands have much bigger sizing because the average Asian and American women obviously have different bone and body structure along with weight and height difference.
Your best bet is to find a brand that's fitting to your bodytype and get the pieces tailored to fit even better.

Hello guys


Is anyone here who sews, stitches, does embroidery and/or even make their own fashion pieces interested in starting a discord server or a subreddit where we can share and give/get advice and critism for the pieces we make. But also appreciate/ critique design, art and literature and it’s many movements.

I’ve been looking for a (not necessarily fashion but a) design community that are mostly made up of art students or ppl who work in the industry that can healthily and not just brand addict s or people who shame other for their tastes and also give and receive advice (that are mainly women). I looked on Reddit but to my dismay found only the r/womenswear and threads similar to it that are just basic outfit piecing threads and r/EHF that is conveniently problematic and subsequently a ultra private community


I’m a graphic design (soon transitioning to product design) student myself who’s recently got deep into fashion and hoping to make a couple of pieces for a large project that I’m doing that isn’t solely fashion, since I don’t really have many friends that do design and willing to do it at uni i thought to turn here as a lot of the people are pretty nice and mature!

If enough people respond I’ll try and make either a subreddit or discord server!!

Hopefully this is the right thread, but how do you deal with the fabric on your pants wearing thin? The inside of my pant legs from the crotch to the knees are always getting thin and it's a huge chore to patch them up. Do any nonas here know how best to repair these, or at least how to prevent them in the future? If I wore pants for men, would they wear down any slower?

You can try ironing on some of these denim patches inside the garment or if you sew, use scrap fabric and sew the shit out of it inside the pants (look it up for instructions). This is only semi-related but maybe it will help someone- If you have the issue of shorts riding up your crotch area when walking, you can sew a strip of fabric along the length of the crotch and it will eliminate the issue. I can't seem to find a pic of what I mean but there are also products- google "polyester boning for shorts". Actually, come to think of it, you could also use the denim iron on patches for this purpose as well.

I like the boots and the dress together. I'm getting Stevie Nicks vibes. I don't really like the gold with the cool-toned colors dress though, but I really, really dislike anything gold. I think it could be cute with a crochet hippie vest and tons of matching gold bracelets, bangles, maybe even a little chain belt? Like a maximalist bohemian look. I have no idea what your preferred style is though. Along that same vein, a cute kind of bag could be something suede with fringe (the different textures of the bag and boots could be neat), or maybe a white hand-tooled leather bag with gold hardware? Not sure how you feel about mixing metal colors but a silver bag might look nice? Not sure about that though. If you want an extremely elevated look, picrel could be nice. I like how it plays off of the crescent shape of the boot jewelry.

thank you everyone for your advice and I'm mortified to realise that of course gold doesn't go with cold tones, I'm gonna take the jewelery off them.

i tuck in the straps into the bra (strapless bras options are the wrong shape for me and I'm done trying new ones) or wear bra-sized multi way bikini top and make it strapless. if the armholes are low then i wear either a matching tube top to the dress/top or one that is close to my skin tone. low backs/lace or mesh backs are not possible, so if I am wearing one i just make whatever im wearing look like it's supposed to be part of the outfit.
and I want to mention that the bra band does 90% of the support, so if you are wearing bras where you think you need to have the straps support you, and are thinking you cannot tuck the straps into your cups, you are wearing the wrong size and need to size down in band an up in cup.

I've been thinking of somewhat changing my style (which is not really cohesive anyway), but I'm facing a personal morals dilemma. I have a lot of clothing and it's good quality but I don't feel like all of it reflects me anymore. Many things were bought by my mom and while she has a good fashion sense, I wish the clothing was more outlandish and edgier and reflected my personality more. I care about being low-waste, consuming less, and being thankful of the things I have, so I don't really wanna shop for new pieces. Even though I'm excited about altering some clothing to suit changing styles, it also feels like a burden because I am very swamped with work and with my schedule altering all the pieces I want to change will take a long time. Not everything can be altered to suit my changing tastes, either. Picrel is sort of what I want to transition towards: I want to express my alternative side more with modest/draped clothing but still maintain my love for feminine and romantic fabrics. It seems like it would be hard to change some of my clothing into looser styles. Lots of pieces are 2016-18-ish, if you can imagine the sorts of cuts that were popular then.

Does anyone have any thoughts f helpful advice for changing styles while working with what you have and buying less?

Vent: I feel like regardless of my efforts I always manage to come off as frumpy. I try to dress preppy-ish, so Oxford shirts, mary janes, colorful scarfs, a-line skirts and in theory I always feel like my outfits are supposed to work but there is always, ALWAYS something off and I don't know what it is. Like today while I was dressing up I thought I'd look great but then I looked into the mirror and I looked like a 40's librarian. My boyfriend also made a comment that 'I dress like a conservative schoolteacher' and he added that he really likes it but somehow made me feel bad because that is not the vibe I'm going for. I'm starting to think that the styles I like simply don't translate well onto my body or something

That does sound frumpy, sorry anon. There's a fine line with vintage preppy styles and looking like a librarian. Nothing wrong with that imo but if that's not something you want to project, maybe try changing your silhouette. More form fitting clothing, shorter skirts or skorts, modern elements, more accessories, makeup or a different hair style could all help. It's hard to say without seeing your closet.

Maybe you could try to go more posh/modern with it? Try some different oxford cuts something like picrel, try some above the knee a-line skirts, etc. What accessories do you wear aside from colorful scarves? Maybe your look looks a bit too dated, what do you do with your hair? Sometimes if an outfit looks older your hair can really throw off the vibes.

A good rule is that you should show off either your top half or your bottom half, to avoid looking grumpy in these style. So if you have an a line or swing skirt, pair with a tighter turtleneck or a form fitting blouse/sleeveless button up/nice v neck t shirt. If you have a shirt and a baggier sweater vest up top, wear some skinny-type trousers and a nice belt and maybe french tuck it if you wanna show the navel area of the trousers. Mary Janes are great for this look BUT they can look a bit clompy and librarian with some outfits, so I'd consider getting some boots/shoes with a slight heel (1-2 inches) to elevate the outfits that seem a bit too frumpy. Also yeah, scarves can make or break an outfit because they are so associated with fat grumpy teachers and librarians. Look on Pinterest for inspo nonna, you got this

Thrift your fabric and hardware. All you really need to buy new are needles, thread, and bias tape.
Sewing machines are easy to find secondhand too because of how many old ladies die and don't have children that can sew. Also don't bother buying patterns full price. Wait for sales or look for them free online (Mood has a bunch).

Sewing can be relatively affordable if you're willing to be thrifty. When I started out sewing I practiced on old duvet covers people gave to me or purchased at the thrift store for 2 or 3 euro and even today I have garments made from thrifted fabric, threads, patterns and zippers. If you live in a city you probably have fabric markets where you can get ugly polyester fabric for almost nothing but that's good enough to practice on. As far as a machine and basic supplies goes, almost everyone has a woman in their family who has a sewing machine you could lend or alternatively you could hand sew if you really, really don't want to or can't get your hands on a (cheap) sewing machine.

Space wise you don't need more than a table to work on and space to store a sewing machine, a few basic supplies and a bit of fabric. You don't have to hoard tons of fabric and supplies like you see seamstresses online do. So yeah it's true it requires a bit of space (but nothing major) and it's true that it's time consuming, but that's true for a boatload of hobbies. Hobbies don't have to be time efficient, you're not working for a boss. Anyway, at the end of the day it was just a suggestion. Do with it what you will.

Okay so I'm a huge autist when it comes to fashion and I'm going to participate in a big student show/event soon, where I've basically been told I should wear black if possible. I have a plain black button up shirt, but no completely black trousers (I don't have any skirts or dresses). Closest thing I have is a pair of loose trousers with a dark green check/tartan pattern (similar to picrel except wider and the pattern is more discreet). Do you nonnas think that would be appropriate/fancy enough for a big occasion, paired with that black shirt ? Or should I look into borrowing plain black pants ?

The VSCO girl aesthetic is what I would say is very outdated. It’s very 2019-2020. I don’t think anyone uses that term anymore even. Pic related is VSCO girl. Coconut girl has more y2k influences, it’s supposed to imitate the colorful and kitschy nature of our childhood summers in the 2000s.

I think it's outdated because

2) There's little to nothing particularly eyecatching about it, it's mostly basic (which kind of works in its favor because it's accessible, but also works against it because it makes it easier to forget)

I mean you’re definitely right, it is called micro trends for a reason. But I’m definitely influenced by it. I cringe when seeing >>320587 but loved it a few years ago. I feel like >>320601 brought up good points, vsco girl had no subculture to support it. It just was an inside joke that summer on TikTok. However, y2k is a trend that I’ve seen many versions of and I think it’s here to stay. We have the coconut girl, Bella swan core, downtown girl, gorpcore, bloke core, heroin chic with y2k goth influences and even coquette to some extent, it’s all inspired by the 2000s. >>320620
>lots of trends that persisted multiple seasons and I feel like we have fewer trends that persist multiple seasons now
So while it’s all micro trends the overarching trend is y2k. That in itself is nothing new. Just like >>320602 says, trends cycling this way is normal. And small subcultures constantly emerging under a bigger fashion culture and becoming outdated quickly has been common in j-fashion for decades for example. I think TikTok has exposed this trend cycle culture in our society, not created it.

I need new shoes because all the shoes I have (3) are black and as I'm trying to make my wardrobe more on fashion and flattering I realized the need for white or light-coloured shoes.
I've been trying to dress more classy and look expensive so I've bought a shoulder bag that's a lower-end brand and I've been trying to put on makeup and get myself to look more professional and mature.
What kind of shoes should I go for for daily wear? I've been eyeing new balance shoes as I've been seeing them more and more either irl or on social media and their designs are cute but do they really go with the aesthetic I'm trying to achieve or should I get some heels or what?

Well that’s the thing, my personal taste is some niches inside of y2k. The "buy things that fit your body type" thing I hate. What is "flattering" for my body type?

No one means "you should wear clothes you hate the look of and make you feel perma-uncomfortable so you can look your ultra-best for the eyes of men" when they say "wear what flatters you". No, all they're saying is if you're interested in fashion for the purpose of looking good outwardly, which is true for a LOT of people if not most, wearing what flatters your body type is a good way to go about it. And you don't have to sacrifice what you like or your comfort for that. You can have all three at the same time.

Tbh I kinda agree anon. I know certain colors and styles don’t really “flatter” me but I still like to wear them anyway.

Nona you sound confident in your body and style so you probably already know this but wearing clothes that flatter your body doesn't have to mean strictly sticking to certain silhouettes and avoiding others. I think of it as just being aware of your body so you can choose clothes that balance it nicely and get you to your desired look.
For instance, I love boxy silhouettes and long, straight dresses. On my pear-shaped body though, a plain straight dress would cling to my hips and be loose on top which is not at all the style I want. So I've found workarounds like choosing looser fabrics, dresses that cinch at least somewhat on my waist, wearing two-pieces, etc. It's also not like we "can't" wear certain things, we just won't be as confident or happy in them if they aren't working for us.

what a lack of respect. Anon's post is obviously showcasing the disconnect or relevance of every single item in the "outfit" in its own context. "kooky" and "silly" are monikers the normfags use when they see something remotely different from their blue jeans and plain shirt with sneakers combo, these "breathes of fresh air" as you call them seem to only exist when it comes off as "unhinged", "uncanny" to the commonalities of everyday people. The FRUITS/harajuku fashionistas used to put, at the bare minimum, some thought behind their "silly" clothing, even an "I like it" is enough, while on the other hand there's this rake looking autist tryhard feign "spontaneity" , "avant-garde" , non-conformity" . it looks like an absolute joke, is blatantly clear this person didn't put any thought behind these choices.

Both pics are a bit too "out there" for my taste and I would never wear any of these outfits but I do appreciate the self expression in all 3 outfits and would love to see more people dress like this irl. Tbh what really ruins the tiktok outfit for me is the fact that it looks uncomfortable to wear. At least the fruits outfits looks quirky while also being practical and something you can wear on a daily bases. The bead shirt in the Tiktok outfit looks like it will limit your arm mobility and it will probably feel heavy after a few hours. Also personally I would never wear an outfit where my bra is in focus but you do you.
My style isn't has quirky as any of these but I do dress more quirky than the average normie (I do conside my style normie myself but many normies has told me otherwise so I dunno) and I like to showcase colours and patterns while also wearing outfits that are comfortable to wear

I don't mind weird outfits that aren't just shein egirl crap. Really like the idea of the matching hat and tie/belt, it looks pretty cool even though I'd rather see it on a different type of styling. The lipstick/makeup is absolutely horrendous though. Imo the overall lack of thought put in make-up is really what makes the difference between western harajuku LARPers and the street snaps they try to resemble (along with a tendency to over-sexualize everything but it's not really the case here).
I wish she'd used a baby tee or some other kind of actual clothing instead of the bra because it looks really out of place with the overall childish theme, and her arms being bare when everything else is cluttered makes it look unbalanced too compared to >>321053 where it looks more harmonious due to the even spreading of items over the silhouette (the phrasing is weird but idk how else to say it) Also I think it would be interesting if she did a full tartan outfit with that bra, hat and tie belt.

"Silly" isn't a slur, anon.

It really depends on your life. I used to wear lolita every day but another girl in the same college as me thought it wasn't worth it and only did it on her off days, which is what most people do, they wear it on the week-ends or to meet up with others.
In Harajuku people would sometimes dress up and go out for the express purpose of being street-snapped before the skyrocketing of social media, it exposed their "art" to the world and allowed them to meet more people as well.
There aren't many jobs where you can wear super outlandish things daily. And to be entirely honest I've never met an all-day-everyday wearer who wasn't at least a bit insane, including myself. This being said, a lot of TikTok fashion content is pure LARP, and these outfits have never seen the sunlight once. Even popular scrote fashion youtubers have videos about it because it's become a problem for fashion enjoyers as a whole and not just Kera-loving thrift hoarders.

The most simple and straightforward way is to begging with common clothing items (A shirt and pants for example) in plain colour and with no patterns. Then you can guide yourself with the colour wheel, wearing at max 2 different colours at once at the star so you can get familiarised. Then you can start adding more colours or even patterns. And remember you can always aid yourself with neutrals (black, white, grey, beige and brown) for accessories, shoes and makeup. Neutrals rarely clash or fight other colours but still be vigilant.

Can cream and white be mixed? I hate having to chose either one in an outfit. I feel like it’s possible, like in picrel, but I’m worried I can’t pull it off correctly. But is it a faux pas to mix these two, like brown and black or navy blue and black? I feel like it’s too good to be true for me to get and use nice white and cream pieces and not have to pick a side per se.

Thank you! Finding vintage pieces where I live is very hard but I'm a sucker for second hand pieces. And if everything else fails I have a tiny sewing machine to make alterations or, if I feel daring, make my own clothing. I try my best to avoid contemporary pieces only if they are newly made because the materials are low quality and more often than not poorly made.

I have two tastes in clothing tbh. I've always loved the anti-fashion movement of the 90s and minimalism, but i also love lolita. Two polar opposites of each other. I am darkly inclined and have always loved goth shit, but have learned that i looked horrible in it and i hate how much most alt fashions rely on makeup. Lolita is the rare alt fashion where you can literally just get away with wearing no or natural makeup, plus it just feels very luxurious, especially velvet pieces. My love of clothes just feeling nice extends to normie clothes too, i am picky as fuck and will pay extra for nice cotton and real leather. Thankfully, i rarely go out and i am proud to be an outfit repeater so my wardrobe is actually a lot smaller than you'd assume it is. I can fit every item of clothing including shoes in one of the american built in wardrobes and still have tons of space, you could comfortably sit on the floor or move stuff to the side.

A fellow woman of culture! yes gyaru requires quite a lot of dedication if you wanna pull it off faithfully to the original sources. Since then have you been interested in any other styles or models?

Doing things by hand is a labour of love and to be honest it usually ends up looking a lot better than details by sewing machine kek. at the beginning I did common stuff like fixing hems or the length of garments and slowly moved towards more ambitious projects. Right now I'm into doing patchwork garments à la modelly remake. She is very fussy about followers on insta but kaya curates her work and shares it on twitter.

any tips/advice on how to dress alternative in a more mature way? im going to turn 23 this year, my fashion preferences have not changed in over a decade and while i don't buy into the idea that you need to abandon everything and look like a normie in your 20s i want to refine my look a bit.

Use color pallettes and lines that actually suit you, that could make your outfits look more "coordinated"

No. 322749

>>322734
For starters, learn how to wear the clothes you got already. Meaning, learn how to properly tuck in specific types of shirts or roll parts of them up.
Second, learn to pick colors that fit your skin tone and hair. If you have pink skin probably picking a red is a horrible idea while picking a green is a great one.
Third, add more mature versions of stuff you feel is immature. A short skirt you don't wear anymore but like still, maybe find a longer version or a more refined one.
Lastly, most people can't guess your age right until you hit maybe early 30s so just enjoy looking young.

No. 322757

>>322749
NTA but people absolutely can guess your age and people in their mid 20s can sometimes look a bit silly still dressing like teens, so why not start building your wardrobe earlier with a few more mature pieces and just have it evolve naturally. This doesn't apply to alt styles like lolita where there's only one silhouette obvi, but a 25 year old isn't going to look like a teen.

Mature isn't a slur either so I'm not calling OP old, I just made the same mistake of dressing like a teen for too long and when I look back at old photos when I was 23-25 I could've looked like such a beautiful young woman if I'd aged up my outfits just a tad.

god I miss larme so much. It's one of the styles that seriously affected my brain chemistry, kek. I'm really inspired by a lot of the looks from the 2010s issues, the latest issues just do not hit for me style-wise. I'm still in search of my perfect pencil-skirt style, larme has completely sold me on them.

On an unrelated note, are there any nonnies who are interested in historically inspired & vintage fashion that like to combine inspired pieces with contemporary outfits? I've just learned about these American Duchess antique reproduction shoes that are up for pre-order now, and while my heart says yes, my wardrobe (and wallet) says no. I'm a sucker for pretty colors and beautiful embroidery.
This is what I'm wondering: do you think shoes in such historical styles could work with contemporary outfits that aren't specifically historybounding or particularly vintage-inspired? If so, how would you style them, nonnies?

I'm 26 and my favourite style at the moment is picrel. I love a kind of "opulent maximalism" with bright prints, beaded fabric, loose flowing clothes, some celestial elements. I could never afford a wardrobe anything like it, lol, but I'd love to come close. Anything medieval or 70s inspired attracts me too. I've thought about getting into beading or embroidery so I can jazz up my clothes a bit. The way I dress is very autism-core.

Which leads me to my next question for you autistic nonnies, do you think you dress "autistic"? What does that look like to you? I feel like there's a lot of different ways to look like a sperg and I'm wondering if it's unavoidable if you ARE one.

Go to instagram and look up what other women are wearing at that club. And check if the club you're going too has a dress code, not all clubs allow casual wear like jeans/trousers and sneakers. If you're still not sure, a short black dress or plain black jumpsuit, a leather jacket or blazer and heels is pretty basic, safe outfit choice.

yes, and I think a lot of people into fashion do. I've worn and spent time around a lot of goths and lolitas and there was a high % of autistic women in both. It takes a certain level of not giving a fuck to go about your daily life in goth, lolita or even the more unique "-core" fashions that are popular on tiktok but never seen irl, and I think that attracts autistic women who have maybe never felt like they fit in anyways. I think anon who said some women have fashion as a special interest may have been onto something kek

I'm not diagnosed but do what >>323075 mentioned.
When I turned 21 I got it in my head that it would no longer be acceptable to wear t-shirts or hoodies outside of the house, so for 2 years I would only wear ankle-length black skirts, dress pants, turtlenecks, and blouses outside of the house, no matter the occasion. Even getting milk at the convenience store.
It may have been a passing remark my mother made about how I will need to "dress nicely" when I get a proper job later (ie. 4 years in the future) and how it's sad that young people don't dress up like in the 40's-50's (before her time, by the way).

All that's shifted now is that I dress in a more masculine version of this and also take more care with textile choice. This is probably more socially acceptable than looking like a nun but I also stopped caring.

I just want to look fashionable and nice because I'm getting older and am tired of looking either weird or frumpy. Without fail I manage to fuck it up somehow and it always looks off and kind of embarrassing. It's been going on for as long as I've lived and I don't know how to fix it. There's always something wrong with an outfit, even if I try to copy it from another person - the jacket is the wrong kind, or the collar won't match the dress I'm wearing, or I'll wear the wrong socks, or wrong hair, or it won't match my glasses.

because the fashion industry is retarded and tries to sell as much shit as possible by making women feel insecure then using models that are in the minority of women (tall, skinny, small boobs) then vanity sizing to sell an ideal most women can't reach. if you can avoid getting a one piece swim suit you really should avoid it so you can actually have a swimsuit that's comfortable and fits.

Anon, absolutely no one cares about that stuff unless you're trying to make it as a red carpet or celebrity stylist. No one detects that shit. Most people don't know anything about fashion, combining colors, textures, what suits them and they definitely can't point it out on others. The autistic part is the obsessive focus over how you come across with your clothes, not the actual outfits. Unless you dress wildly inappropriately for the occasion (white to a wedding, club dresses to a funeral), you are not doing anything embarrassing or wrong. If I see someone with a distinct aesthetic, I just think they like fashion, not that they're mentally ill kek

I'm tayrt, kibbe makes so much sense to me in this case as a petite woman with breast definition.

It gets a lot more redundant for tall women who are the basic standard in fashion, but in this case there are lots of items of clothing that are simply not made for me.

Always thought I was an autumn bc I am half asian and my skin is really yellow, but I think I'm actually winter? Been graviating more towards jewel tones and a whimsigoth style lately and I notice that my skin looks really bright wearing them. Especially blue which I thought was a colour I could never wear with my yellow skin, yes it makes me look very yellow, but in a bright clear way, instead of a mottled dull beige in autumn colours. Held a golden fabric next to my face and it looked god awful, while silver looked very nice. And I have to get new clothkng anyway bc my old dont fit anymore, so its a win win.

Black tie for women usually just means long or "semi-formal", so you can get away with a plain old long dress. Make sure your heels aren't mega tall stripper stilettos or super chunky peanut butter. minimal and short jewellery, specially if you're gonna dance, that way you won't have to worry about it getting tangled or lost. Also on an end note do NOT wear a slit for all that's gracious, you will look TRASHY.
If you're still in doubt here's a comprehensive, although kind of pretentious, guide for said occasion and dress code.

Hey ladies, I got a dress for a wedding coming up in less than two months, and it fit terribly in the chest area.
I am nervous to buy online again, but i need sage green (can be a lil darker) dress that is not formal, but nice enough to be a bridesmaid. Bride wants us casual and comfortable, but i mean… what the fuck is that supposed to mean. Im in a dress, no comfort there.
I technically could wear a 2 pc skirt/pants with a top. I am a size 10/12 but i am almost 6 ft tall with boobs that are too fucking big.
If i buy a plus size dress the boobs will have room, but then i will look frumpy and baggy everywhere else.
My anxiety over this is causing nightmares. Heres the invitation, and that has the colors on it. Anyone, can you help?

How about buying a dress that fits at your chest and having it tailor waist down? Or maybe a belted dress with a flowy maxi skirt so it doesn't necessarily look too large and frumpy on you after tightening it at the waist?

Go for an "A line" dress, this silhouette fits all body types and shapes unless you're hopelessly deformed. It comes in various styles and lengths, so I'm sure It'll be easy to find one that you like and accommodates to your needs. Picrel is just a few examples of what won't make you look out of place, semi-formal and comfortable. Just stay the fuck away from silk unless you are willing to pay top dollar for high quality silk, which will put you in the thousands, or else you'll look cheap and ugly.

Anon is up to you who you're gonna listen to just don't go out in all fashion victim glory wearing some "oH So trENdy" cheap shit from shein/ali express. On a second note a simple suit is indeed a good idea, just make sure it fits you properly or you'll look like a dishevelled little boy trying on their father's day suit.

Nonas what do you think of 2009-2014 tumblr fits like pic rel making a comeback? Like the scene queen aesthetic, I’ve been seeing mini revivals of it on tiktok among zoomers and it makes me really nostalgic for that time (skins, crystal castles, pastel goth, jeffrey litas, baby pink and blue mermaid hair, lots of glitter, the general tumblr aesthetic of that era).

I actually see a lot of zoomies wearing similar kinds of fits with oversize black hoodies and tees. However I dont have the guts to wear it outside because I feel like people would just think I’m a weird millennial who hasn’t got with the programme yet kek. I really love it though.

I love how simple but edgy and sexy these outfits are.
Obviously, being skinny is a prerequisite and can make even cheap generic clothes look chic.

I love early 10's Tumblr/indie lookbook fashion and would love to see it make a comeback but I don't want to see it go through the hands of tiktok, they'll put some cringe -core name on it, pretend to be nostalgic for a fashion era they never experienced and dispose of it once they get their 15 minutes of content out of it. Not that I believe that when a handful of tiktokkers wear a fashion style without wearing it outside their rooms it means it's a revival, it's not.

Reading this post has since manifested several 10's nostalgia posts on social media and I didn't know that was a thing. Peak early/mid 10s fashion has only literally been a decade ago, did we feel nostalgic for 2003 fashion in 2013? I don't remember that being the case.

I'm all for comfortable fashion becoming trendy. This is self-expressive without relying on a ton of accessory and revealing clothes. It can be sexy but even when it's sexy it's comfortable and practical. It's also not a fashion trend that requires you live a certain lifestyle or put on a persona(like bimbo) there are certain aesthetics and bands people who dress like this are drawn to but you don't see them trying to act like a cartoon character

one thing I love about that era is that it was pretty common and normalized to re-wear items a lot even amongst fashion blogger.

Supposedly fashion cycles are supposed to have a revival every 20 years or so.
However, I saw people obsessing over Paris and Lindsay and Y2K since like 2015, which would have only been around 10-12 years later.

It’s been 13 years since 2010 so I think tumblr goth and tumblr grunge are gonna be big again soon.

As another nona said however, I don’t think this aesthetic ever really went away.

Does anyone else here have trouble dressing casual/practical?
I love fashion and nice dresses but what I really need clothes for now is outdoor activities and gardening (like a true farmer kek). I'm tired of being worried about mud on my nice things. I think I associate more practical styles with unflattering scrote-like clothes but seriously there got to be nice things out there to wear for women who do muddy things.

I feel you nona, usually when I get down to those tasks (like gardening or taking care of my chickens) I opt for lite, loose fit, linen dresses with the occasional apron for my tools. I get sweaty very easily so I love that these options don't overheat me or cling to my skin. Also overalls are a great and cute choice!

No. 325408

kinda pointless to worry about nice clothes while gardening imo, you get them filthy quickly and they wear down more quickly than regular clothes. I wear old, practical clothes when I garden so I don't have to worry about accidentally ripping holes in them or wearing the knees down quickly etc. I guess you could wear a maxi dress or maxi skirt if you really wanted to? That'd give you enough room to move around easily and you can bend over without worrying about the skirt length.

Zillenial here, born in 1998. My clothes feel outdated, and I’m really loving the casual “zoomer style”, especially the more relaxed office looks. I feel lost. While I love the new fashion trends, I have no idea what staples to buy or how to style the new shit. I’m used to wearing dresses with tights, loafers and blazers, but I’m looking for sneakers, dresses, pants etc. that don’t feel outdated

Can someone help me? What staple Gen z pieces should I buy, and how should I style them?
