Pic related, I adore this entire look. I like stockings, heels, boots, sneakers, dresses, pants, pretty much anything. I used to feel like I could only be confined to one thing but I grew up a bit and realized that I could look good in any style. I hope it doesn't come off as snobby because that isn't my intent. I felt, for lack of a better term, liberated by not having to stick with one style all of the time.

At the same time, I'm also very into the 80s hi-cuts as they suit my build more than hipster or skinny jeans, boyshort panties, etc. I miss when bikinis were cut like that and I've been so happy to see that they're coming back in style because I was getting to the point where I debated asking mom if she still had her from back in the day.

I would love to wear high-fashion girly like this, but I'm really heavily tattooed and I'm worried I'd look ridiculous.

I really like simple feminine fashions, like ankle-length skirts with fitted tops/slimknit jumpers. I struggle to find good quality skirts though, as they all seem to be made of this stretchy cotton material (viscose?) which isn't suitable for English winters. I also never know what shoes to wear with these skirts… any suggestions?

I guess it depends how tall you are and what kind of general style you go for, such as fabrics/shapes/colours. I find it really hard to dress with tattoos too because it's either too basic as fuck, or if you wear lots of patterns/detail, you end up looking like a dog's dinner. I feel your pain girl.

Any fashion savvy anon knows what this style is called?

I really like berets, high socks, oxford shoes, checked clothes, oversized wooly sweaters, shirts and high-waisted skirts (without going full schoolgirl/delicate lady mode, I often dress androgynous as well) but I have no idea what that style is called. I would like to know so I can find people who like it as well on insta. In the pic the shirt and accessories are over the top compared to what I mean but I couldn't find anything else.

Any other anons know the feel of being fashion conscious in a small town? I wouldn't even say I'm particularly stylish or innovative at all, but I feel like everyone here has a uniform and I stick out like a sore thumb if I deviate from it.

I had a friend who was a similar build and she looked absolutely kickass when she would wear sundresses like pic related that flattered her bust and small waist. With a cardigan and usually flats and she had a textured bob haircut that was great with that body shape too. A lot of retro or pinup styles look great with your shape too, it doesn't have to be generic rockabilly Imelda May tryhard trash but subtle pinup silhouettes are great for flattering that figure. >>73678
Yeah I had this too and honestly it never changed until I moved to a bigger city rather than a small town. If the majority in the town or wherever you live dress very bland and generally frown upon alternative styles then I think there's sadly no hope as you'll always be the odd one out and you're up against generations of this being the norm. In a bigger city people usually may not always think your style is for them but will either not notice, not care, or admire it even though it isn't to their taste, they appreciate that it's different to see.

I’m hoping for some advice as well. I’m a neat hourglass with naturally muscular / kinda broad shoulders. The main issue I have is finding tops that flatter both my waist and shoulders. If it fits my shoulders, my waist is swimming in fabric and if it fits my waist I look like a sexy linebacker. Any tips, ladies? I feel like I may have to get a few high quality pieces to get tailored but I’m saving that as a last resort.

Not being fat as fuck would probably help a lot…a wrap dress that skins the slimmest part of your calves would be the most flattering thing. No spaghetti straps or skinny jeans, fluttery sleeves or a dolman sleeve soften and feminise big shoulders, avoid anything with any kind of puff or volume, linens, silks, and light woollens should drape nicely, avoid tight, shiny, stretchy fabrics at all costs. A line skirts or a small peplum should help balance your shape. Tunics and shift dresses are no good but anything that creates a wasps waist might be good.

Happy to help and hey, it’s a lot easier to say ‘lose weight’ than to actually lose it. Good on you for making the effort.

Depending on your torso to leg ratio you could also do very well with black tights and a skirt (any really) paired with all-black shoes, or from tucking a blouse into high waisted jeans.

No matter what shape you’re made in there’s something out there that looks excellent on you and feels good. If it’s not too expensive you could even consider getting your clothes in a larger size and having them tailored to fit so that nothing sits awkwardly between wide shoulders and a narrow torso.

what kind of casual styles/brands/cuts works well for smaller waists but fat arms and legs? i would love to just throw on a pair of jeans and a t shirt but i look like a fatass because my waist is the smallest part of me and if it isnt highlighted, i look like a blob. i cant wear tight dresses or belted dress all of the time, nor do i want to

i cant even find many shirts that hug the midsection, as everything is like, straight cut or loose bc skinny girls that have skinny limbs look great in that shit, but no matter how thin i get, my arms and legs still look disproportionate. i know a lot of JUST pear women can look great, but my arms are kinda chubby, so casual stuff is a nightmare

My body is fairly similar to this, different in some ways but I also have comparatively thick upper arms/hips compared to most women so I'm always having to work around that in outfits. When I'm not wearing A-line dresses then I'm wearing A-line skirts pretty much always. If you go for ones with stretchy material or a stretchy waistband then they're comfier than having to actually wear pants anyway

I’m going to shill for a brand I like that I found through amazon, oddly enough! They’re called Mordenmiss, and they seem like they’re trying to fill a gap for bigger girls, too, which some might find useful so I thought I’d give them a shoutout.

I’m 5’6” and about 124lbs, and I love both strega and mori, this company has a lot of pieces that can work really well with strega in particular as I’ve not had much luck with thrifting. I generally get their one size fits all or if they have a size, a large so that I can layer well. They only thing I wish they’d make are those wife beater petticoats you see on aliexpress, but they’re also surprisingly receptive to user feedback so who knows? If we flood them with pictures maybe they’ll start making their own.

http://www.mordenmiss.com/ or just go to your local amazon and search for mordenmiss.

pic related, it’s a top I wear all the time.

It definitely is real, not all ankle boots are made in the same shape and not all will fit you. Try a bunch of different ones until you find ones you like. Not all of them will go well with all types of trousers either.
It could also be a heel height issue, if they're too flat and the rest of the outfit is bulky it will make it look unbalanced.

It's still larme kei even if the colors are darker. That's exactly what the style was created for, looking cute but offering styles that are appropriate and flattering for women in their 20s and 30s.

I'm obsessed with 1940s British fashion. A time of war and rations, women had to be inventive and simple in order to express themselves. They were a generation of working women who had to go to factories or work in the fields. Yet, they still managed to make their functional dresses feminine and attractive. I love the construction and the patterns, there's a mix of urban and country.

But I feel like the era has been co-opted by "plus size" American women and now the style is seen as matronly or frumpy. I cry.

https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/style/672724/wartime-fashion-rationing-World-War-II-clothes-1941

I love how even in war, fashion was still at the forefront of culture and society. That women were still adapting and expressing themselves, despite the rations and restrictions. Pockets and bows were banned because they were considered unnecessary

>“Imports were limited and raw materials and manufacturing capacity were needed for the war effort. As the war went on people became very creative.”


>Indeed, armed with handy tips such as how to unpick old jumpers, create decorative patches for concealing holes in worn-out garments and protect against the menace of moths, we became a nation of tailors.


I think it makes me proud of my country and what we have gone through.

>“It is often assumed that it was drab time but people used bright colours and patterns, partly as a way of putting on a brave face and cheering yourself up during wartime,” adds Amanda.


I love color and wear bright clothes often, including dresses. I usually stick to the more wrap-around 70s style but I'd love to add in some more structured, militaristic pieces.

>Another impact of rationing was to improve the quality of British-made clothes, which had to last, and make production more efficient.

>>88339
For an apple shape, I recommend wearing stuff that directs the eye away from your belly. If you have slimmer shoulders and and presumably skinnier legs, an oversized sweater look might work.

Personally, I think dresses like pic related are nice for plus size apple types, try finding one that cinches under the bust instead of at the waist, which would help divert attention from the biggest problem area. Basically, avoid anything that’s going to define your stomach, go for styles that are flared at the ribs and try using interesting patterns elsewhere on your body.

Usually, over here, you won’t see much of a clothing difference between these age brackets, except teens would be more prone to wearing sweatshirts and sweatpants or have a combo of plain T-shirt and jeans combined with expensive sport shoes (as brand name, pricey footwear can be often worn as status symbol).

Petite anons, where the fuck do you buy clothes? I can never find anything for my waist and shortness. I look better in shorter, high waist skirts but so many basically go down to almost my knees. When anything is too long it makes my legs look even shorter and frumpy. I'm 25 and have no choice but to shop at teenybopper mall stores if I'm not shopping online, and a lot of time I'm lucky if even they fit correctly. I got a couple skirts from yesstyle and they actually fit, but shipping takes so long from them, though I guess I have no other choice. I just wish I had more options for cute petite clothes. I guess Asian sizing works? Are there more options for that besides yesstyle?

in my opinion, high waist is the way to go especially if you are petite. it optically lengthens your legs. low/mid-rise clothing can easily make your legs look short. it can look nice but you need to have a certain body type to pull it off imo.

Can you guys give me some advice about putting outfits together and improving my shopping habits in general? I have a really hard time coordinating my clothes, but I'm also kind of addicted to thrift shopping.

I have a closet full of unique vintage pieces, but I seldom wear them. This is because I have a bad habit of snagging cheap but cool pieces without considering what I'm going to pair them with. In addition, there's a lot of different aesthetics and eras catching my eye that I want to tap into. But I feel like the styles I'm into have no consistency, therefore there's no solid "look" I'm going for… Lastly, I'm kinda lazy, and usually when I leave the house I just end up wearing really comfy, normcore tier shit.

The plus side is I'm not spending myself into ruins. I only go to thrift stores when I know I have enough to treat myself, and everything else I own is cheap department store stuff, a lot of it which I've owned for years. I just feel like a fucking mess with a diverse closet and nothing to do with it.

Any suggestions of what I should do? Even if that means ending thrifting altogether and selling my clothes? (also let me know if this post is more appropriate or the advice thread)

No. 89180

>>89176
I would recommend choosing a cohesive color palette and getting solids that work with various vintage finds across eras. Pick colors that you like wearing, sell off the cool things you have that don’t fit your palette, and then use that money for staple pieces etc.

I wear a lot of vintage styles, and my wardrobe is primarily comprised of black, grey, wine, pink and white. Having a lot of neutrals makes it easier to start bringing in other colors when I want to, though, so I have some green and blue in my wardrobe too. I look like shit in yellow and orange so I don’t have any in my closet.

How to woman?

When I was a cringy teenager I'd mostly wear 'alternative' fashion styles like Goth or Lolita. I was alright with coordinating, but not exactly with choosing anything that actually suits me.
After I had a fitness phase and was okay with just walking around in sportsgear 24/7 I now realize that I have no idea how to dress myself and I feel like I am shooting myself in the foot. My boyfriend said he wants to be able to show me off like a Ferrari, but I don't know how to dress for my bodytype. I have very broad shoulders, ribcage and hips, small boobs, relatively long legs. My best feature is probably my ass+legs. I'd currently describe myself chubby muscular (off-season), but a few months out of the year I have a 4-pack.

What kind of style would suit me? What clothing items would suit my body? Other than that I am cookie cutter long blonde green eyed whitie, not a striking beauty so I can't get away with too far out there stuff.

Unrelated, but I've tried out the body visualizer for the first time now, and it really pisses me off how you can't make a busty hot woman's body lol. When you increase the bust, the ribcage gets large, the tits sag, the face becomes witchy and something weird happens to the hips. Wtf

I know, but at least it gives an idea of the measurements I am working with. In reality I have very broad shoulders and no violin hips, but the program is indeed very limited and doesn't work well for jacked people. Upping the exercise slider doesn't make the puppet more buff, just more defined.

This sounds like a really good game plan. I think one of my issues is indeed colors being all over the place. My most worn pieces are black, white, and blue, and I have some neutral tones as well. But many of my thrifted items are a weird mix of pastels and earth tones and various patterns haha…

Anyways, I'm about to do some deep cleaning before the summer ends, so I'll definitely go through my closet and sort out what I won't actually wear. And in the future when I shop I'll focus on getting practical pieces that match with a lot of things, like you suggested. Thanks again anon, you're a life saver!

The pleats on the front look pointless. They don’t add much aside from a flap at the crotch.
The hem line will make it impossible to sit or bend without showing your ass cheeks, and the crotch depth on playsuits ensures that it will also jam itself into your crotch when sitting or bending, unless it’s made of a stretchy fabric. (Which would be a whole other issue here because jersey would cling horribly and the scuba fabric everything trend is just ugly af)

The garment on the model doesn’t even fit nicely tbh. It’s bunching at the waist and ribs because the darts don’t fit her bust.

No. 92601

i don't see how it's a theory. is there something i'm missing? it just seems like a subjective way of recognizing patterns in different body types, same as the old fruit thing. it does seem more useful and less vague than the old way, but it's not like there's anything empirical that would make this "theory" "correct" and the old way "incorrect."

i always thought the fruit method was too vague. you can be an hourglass and 6' with a long torso and square violin hips or you can be an hourglass who's 5'2 with round hips and a short torso. you're telling me those people are going to look good and bad in the same things? so i like that this method takes lots of factors into account besides just your shoulder/waist/hip ratio.

i took her test and i'm a theatrical romantic and it checks out because the clothes and styling she recommended are the ones i've gravitated to over the years.

So I'm going away soon and I wanted some advice.

I'm thinking of getting a denim jacket (wearing it open) to try to hide my stomach with layers. With that a pair of black shorts and some colourful, patterned tops for a little colour that I'll half tuck into my shorts. I could also wear a floral dress with the jacket. I'm looking for a pair of good shoes because I'll be doing a lot of walking but something that looks nice like a pair of white canvas shoes and a pair of heeled sandals for the dress. I have a few mini backpacks but I don't think they'll match what I'm planning. I have 2 pairs of denim shorts already but I'm not sure what to wear with them (maybe a light, long sleeve shirt but that might highlight my weight). I'm trying to pack as light as possible but also give myself a good few options, like a little capsule wardrobe.

This is strange because I've wanted the Adrian loafers forever but was just recently considering getting the 1461s, haha.
To me, loafers suggest more of a preppy style and the 1461s seem a lot edgier. If you wear more alt fashion I'd get the 1461s, but if you have more of a "classic" style then the Adrians are probably better.

My twenties are starting to creep out and
"Dressing my Age" really bothers me, not in a womanchild way but "Mature" clothes just look absurdly unflattering on me, blazers, office trousers, almost every dress that doesnt have a bit of a Poof, i just look like someone's kid trying their aunt's clothes, even with petite sizes it just looks
Costume-y
I personally enjoy the way i dress alot but i cant help but feel pressure to change as i grow older.
Theres no workplace dresscode or stuff like that since im a baker so its just about social situations

Im 5´1 and around 110 lbs, just overall very petite and girlish in body

Style is a bit like pic related, i always end up getting compared to cassie from skins style-wise

I can’t deal with fast fashion crap any more. Bad sizing, bad craftsmanship, bad fabric, bad business practice, bad prices for what it is (fifty dollars for some polyester and six seams is a joke. Only an idiot would wear it)
But it’s so hard to escape unless you make all your own stuff down to knickers, or if you can afford insanely expensive things. It shouldn’t take a $600 dress to get a french or flat-fell seam and no garment over $100 should be zigzag stitched but here we are.

That shit is why I generally don't seek fashion advice from LC. Some anons are lovely, but others will act like you've insulted their mother if you post certain clothing items, most noticeably when it's stuff that looks best on skinny frames, like baggy clothing or most J-fashion.

I have a hunch that such anons are probably overweight, aged-looking or dumpy themselves, ie they flat-out can't pull off certain things and need to "dress for their age/body" at all times. They either seem to assume all of us must be the same way, and want to "help" by dissuading anons from wearing clothing that'd be unflattering on themselves, or they just get irritated whenever they're reminded that there are others who actually can pull off things they can't, so they go on attack mode.

Does anyone have any recommendations for dresses/skirts that would look nice and feminine without heels? I don’t want to damage my feet just for the sake of looking cute, and I also consider comfort to be the most important aspect of my clothing. So far I’ve found that tshirt or bodycon dresses work really with sneakers, but I would love to hear more suggestions for cuts that would look nice with non heeled shoes that aren’t necessarily flats as they can be difficult to walk long distances in.

No. 101150

I find that the higher the skirt, the better it will look with flat shoes. Skirts that end somewhere above the knee are usually the best, and you can pair them with pantyhose if you don't feel like shaving your legs that day.

My biggest problem with finding clothes is that I'm extremely picky when it comes to comfort:
>I always feel cold, but find nearly all pullovers to be too scratchy
>I have a very sensitive neck, to the point of feeling like I'm choking when something touches it lighty, so no turtle necks, scarves, etc - but on the other hand I also don't want to show cleavage
>everything remotely tight on my waist like skirts or skinny jeans triggers my ibs
>leggings or yoga pants always feel too tight and make my skin itch
>I probably own over 30 pair of shoes yet have only one that doesn't give me blisters
>can't even put my hair into a ponytail because even that gives me a headache
I wish I could just wear a loose tshirt, trackpants and my favourite sneakers all year long… What should I do? I buy things but then end up only wearing them only once because I can't stand the feel of them. If something is itchy or tight it literally ruins my while day.
Pic related would unironically be my ideal…

archivings on tumblr aka http://archivings.net/ is prime for this, the guy behind it has scanned fashion magazines/photobooks from the 70s onward for years. the 80s was a great time for this look specifically. his "scan rejects" and miscellaneous blog is good too, and a lot of the stuff he posts fall in line with it. you'll get to know designers/their work as you go through. designers you will probably want to look at, outside of pic related for this stuff, include Thierry Mugler, early YSL (look up "le smoking"), early Dior, Jil Sander, and Gaultier. maybe some Comme Des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto.

rarebooksparis on instagram puts up a bunch of fantastic old photo book scans as well.

No. 101883

with the risk of sounding like a spoiled giga bitch, when i browsed their website i couldn’t find this specific one but others similar to it were around $218. for a high quality dress that should last you a really long time and that you really really want, that’s not insanely expensive. if you restrict yourself and don’t buy a shit ton of forever 21 items that will be distressed beyond repair within a year it shouldn’t leave too big of a hole in your wallet.

i don’t know how small your budget is or how much you usually spend on clothes, but the real deal is always better than the knockoffs and it’s usually a better investment in the long run to own a few items of high quality than to spend money over and over again on less expensive ones that won’t last nearly as long.

alright help, how to dress when you have absolutely no hips? Pic related is me, for reference I'm 5'6" so not short.
My boobs aren't exactly small either, so with my lack of hips or ass I feel like it makes me look really unbalanced.

I’m 5’6” and “top-heavy” too.

What are your measurements/weight, if you don’t mind?

When I put my stats into this thing, I feel like it’s not how I look at all. But I can’t tell if it’s just denial/BDD or I’m really just a board with tits.

Anyway… my go-to is a loose-fitting blouse or sweater with fitted pants or skirt. It’s a bit imbalanced, but at least my bobbies aren’t front and center, but I don’t look frumpy either.

Glad to hear you share my struggles anon, my measurements are B:35 W:24 H:31 and I weigh 110, the pic is pretty accurate to me I think.
I've definitely been wearing the loose sweater fitted pants look for awhile, but it's not exactly the most exciting look… I feel like wider pants (to give the illusion of hips) and a tighter shirt might even us out better? I just have so much trouble finding pants that fit since my hips/waist are so small, I haven't been able to try it out yet.

I have the same stats(except my chest is 2 inches smaller, but it used to be bigger)
Would absolutely recommend wider pants either highwaisted that flare out at the hips or if you want to go lower, then pair them with a big belt. Also a line skirts are a good choice. I feel like dark tight tops with lighter wide pants or skirt is a very good combo for this body type.

Could any of you anons give me some advice on more tomboy-ish fashion? Recently I've been more inspired to cultivate my personal style (aka dress how I really want), but I have trouble doing so because the only 'fashion' influences I can think of are male. I really like somewhat edgy, but casual alternative styles like how Kurt Cobain or teenagers in 90s alternative/metal scenes dressed, but I don't know how well those styles would translate on a female frame, especially because I'm on the taller side. I know most anons on this board tend to like more feminine styles, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience in translating male fashion inspiration into something a girl could wear without looking frumpy. Or am I just doomed and should start trying to find more feminine fashion inspo instead?

Why is it so hard to just go out, buy the clothes you like, and if something doesn't specifically work you can change it and then maybe ask for opinions with specific problems?
It just seems kind of contradictory and pathetic that you say you want to dress how you like in an incredible casual style, using a picture of the literal human embodiment of "I do what I want, whatever people think", but you need strangers on the internet to order you about and give you formal rules

If you're scared of being frumpy then just do what you do in any type of fashion and just be mindful of the things that make you frumpy aka if you need a defined waist then only buy fitted girls tops

Im not happy with the image people have from me with my clothes.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my wardrobe, it took me a long time to curate it (also because poor), its pretty much Spring Vintage with 00s and 90s influences.
I have problem that its completely dissonant from my interests, Metal, horror movies, weird shit. I find it hard to make friends because people are judgemental, don't even say they are, life is just like that you know.

Ikr, but I like the feminine look and the "metaller" look, it just depends on the day. I don't know if you would be confortable, but you don't have to commit totally to one style or use just one style in an outfit.
But anyway, if you like just the music and don't feel the need to dress metaller, you shouldn't do it just to blend in, find people that are not judgemental about your clothes instead.

Looks like the goffs fights over liking only the music and not dressing goth or liking dressing goth but not listening.

It isn't really a subpart of larme that is like that, it's just a section in the magazine that had looks like that and it was titled Urban Goth, but western bloggers tend to put labels on everything. Lots of people like to break down Larme fashion into styles like "pheromone fetish", "classic French" and whatnot but it's not really classified at all in the magazine. These edgy looks aren't very common in the magazine, it was just this one section. However larme looks often have edgy elements like leather skirts, chokers, lingerie like clothes etc. so it's kind of a mix of sugar and poison. Lol sorry that was kinda spergy wasn't it?
Here is a blog post with scans from the issue which had that urban goth section. This blog has a lot more scans of other issues as well. https://emiiichan.blogspot.com/2016/09/larme-024-rhapsody-of-night-and-fog.html

Yep. It’s way better. A basic sewing machine can be had for under $100. Patterns are free online and cheap in thrift stores, fabric can be picked up cheap.

I like sundresses, and make mine from vintage fabrics from the thrift store.
Everything fits better, no more fake pockets, no more jacked-up prices for shit seams, higher quality garments (better jersey for your shirts, proper seams even for basic garments, never have to go back to shitty clothing stores like f21 or whatever crap)

I didn’t get lessons, just dicked around for a year until I got the hang of it. There’s heaps of YouTube tutorials out there to help. I like MellySews for patterns and written tutorials.

I’m irritated because I live in Paris now and the fashion here is starting to influence my own fashion choices and overall style. I came basically dressed like a casual goth or alt girl with bright green hair and now I have jet black hair and dress like a casual chic clone that wears various shades of black and grey. I use to hate the oversized coats and scarf combos I’d see constantly, but seeing it so often now I want to incorporate it into my wardrobe. The true irritation I think lies within myself, that I dress as a reflection of what’s around me/the groups I’m in instead of just for myself, and my idea of fashion was always to use it as an expression of who I am as a person to reflect that to the world around me. Anyone else struggle with their fashion identity, or maybe you don’t have this issue, and what do you think influenced you personally/culturally to feel this way?

My main criteria is above anything, you can never go wrong with a lbd. Depending on the type of occasion you can get something sleeveless, high collar, lower cut, short length, past the knees, it’s personal preference really. If it’s a truly elegant dinner I’d suggest nothing above the knee, it might be better to go floor length to be on the safe side but if you have nice legs calf length (mid length/midi online) can look okay. I’d suggest something with a higher neckline depending on the dress, lower cut v’s can turn into casual very quickly. Strappy heels with manicured toes are always trendy, but you can always do a closed pump if you don’t feel like showing off your feet. But you should MOST DEFINITELY wear heels. Minimal jewelry, try to keep any necklaces, bracelets, rings etc on the dainty delicate side, preferably one of each if you feel you must have some sort of jewelry on. Earrings should match the aesthetic your other jewelry is given, ala if your ring is emerald use small emerald earrings, if you wear pearls

I would avoid largely synthetic fabrics (polyester, acrylic etc) with the exception of viscose if you're not sure about a brand/store's quality as they're usually poorer in appearance. They are ok in smaller percentages:
80% 30% acrylic.
However, they're not always shit but it's depends on the production of the fibres (usually more expensive for synthetic fibres not to be shitty) - natural fibres tend to be of a better quality regardless of price-point. I trust cotton, wool, linen even in random sites they're going to look better. Most things will be cotton though.

It's pretty difficult to sus production quality without having the item irl but for me the most important is the fabric.
You might want to observe:
- thickness and opacity (thin cotton fabric is not great either)
- observe in the modelling pictures by zooming if the seams and stitching is neat and straight (crappier mass produced items is sometimes obviously sloppy here)

Also for mid-tier-ish brand for some Scream Queens-esque clothes Valfre quality from what I've gotten has been good.

Is it possible to wear a beret and not look like a tool? Either I wear it wrong and look frumpy, or I manage to make it sit right (off to the side) and look pretentious and asymmetrical in a way that doesn't seem as intentional as I'd prefer. I wonder if it's the beret itself, it was only cheap so maybe it's ill fitting or something.

I have recently developed an interest in fashion - beyond simply having fun putting outfits together. While doing research, I keep coming across several terms with somewhat murky definitions (at least to a noob like myself). Would anyone be able to define/differentiate these for me?
- Avant-Garde
- Designer
- Haute Couture
- High-End
- High Fashion
- Luxury
- Premium
- Ready-To-Wear vs. Mass Market
- Runway
- Veblen

Any any of these terms synonymous with each other? Are any of these types ever combined in certain cases? Is there any way to determine what category a company/item falls under just by looking at it? Apologies for too many questions + overwhelming ignorance.

My brother is gettimg married in a couple months and I need to buy a dress. I'll be in family photos, which, given that it's an event for my brother, will decorate my family's house forever. That means I want to look decent and feel somewhat pretty. (I know, vain reason)

I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what to look for.
Event - 3rd week of March (meaning it could be snowing, or it could be warming up)
My size - 5'7", slim, 30E (I hate my chest so don't want to emphasize it. No dresses that prohibit wearing a bra.)
Dress code - stated as formal, but my brother & his fiancée are not fancy people and the venue is not very formal. I don't think it has to be a floor-length dress.
- I don't want a completely black dress (or a white one obv)

I'm shopping in Europe. Wedding is in the US. I don't really have friends who can advise me or shop with me. Anyone want to help?

Avant garde: basically weird for the sake of weird. Garments as art, all very high concept and not intended for just wearing.

Designer: from a designers brand/house. Is used to refer to things from Michael kors garbage bags to a YSL gown.

Couture: made for you. Frequently misused to mean designer.

High-end: the higher end of the brand/designer scale. Think Chanel compared to Kate spade.

Luxury: supposedly high quality luxury materials and construction. Often used to make bonded leather sound like it’s not cheap and nasty.

Ready to wear: designer garments made for the store racks.

Mass-market: on the racks at Kmart.

Runway: worn on the runway.

I went to fashion school for a year (out of two)
I had zero drawing and sewing skills, and basically learnt everything there from the beginning. Turns out I hated everything except pattern creation, so i quit. Up to this day, that one year of pattern creation has been extremely helpful for everything fashion related. I basically see flat clothes and immediately know what they will look like on any type of body.

Only like 5% of the students get an actual job in the field. Most of them just do it because they like sewing. There's also the rich kids who get clothing lines funded by their parents, but i don't count those as real jobs. It's a field where connections and pre-existing money matter more than talent.

I've been trying to experiment more with my wardrobe and try flowier and girlier silhouettes since I normally just wear pants and tshirts/sweaters and it's getting kinda boring. I'm a student and most days I just go to class and am doing things around campus. Is it considered overdressed or trying too hard to wear casual dresses and skirts? I know that's kind of a dumb question but I rarely see students at my school wear something other than jeans/leggings unless it's for an interview.

For example something like pic related, but the dress I have has a bit more definition/cinching around the waist (and I would wear dark long sleeves under it, and boots and tights since it's winter here).

The brand doesn't matter, you just have to look for specific items. You can even find clothes like these at a second hand shop, you just have to know what you are looking for. Do you like the colors? Then you don't need to focus so much on finding the exact same item, just look for an item in that color and in any cut/style. If you like the combinations of items in an outfit then look for a similar cut of item but any color. Do you get what I mean? It's more fun to try to mix and match outfits with various items than try to find a brand that will fit your exact aesthetic, which is almost impossible.
I really recommend shopping at a second hand shop although you all might laugh at me. I find more interesting stuff there (and cheaper) than in shops although the sizes are sometimes a problem

The tights and shirts combo always looks awkward and it’s just not very interesting.

It’s not bad and anon isn’t going to look like shit. They may even look good in the outfit. It just feels..eh.

I'm trying to find a dress to wear to a wedding and fucking everything is either
- light pastels that are barely not white
- nude
- "millennial pink" (not a fan of this color, esp not on me)

Navy would be great, but guess what the bridesmaids are wearing?

On another note, if I ever get married, I won't give a shit what anyone else wears. Honestly. After reading all these rules about what women should and shouldn't wear to a wedding, I've devised a list of colors that are apparently OK:
- burgundy (not red omg can't upstage the bride!!)
- orange (but who wears orange)
- yellow (only bright yellow! or mustard! have fun looking like death warmed over)
- green (haha olive skin? go to hell)
- blue (not pastel blue, omg too light!!)
- purple
- pink (not too light!! photograph it first!)

No metallics, no light pastels, nothing too lacy (omg it's not your wedding), nothing too shiny, nothing too glittery or sexy. No all black, it's not a funeral, anon!

It's my cousin's wedding. I'm not in the bridal party, and I'm not bitter about it. The navy dresses I've found look a bit bridesmaid-esque and I don't want anyone to have the wrong impression.

It's first week in April, so that weird in-between winter/springtime. Wedding at 5pm and I assume based on the dress code that I need to get a cocktail-length or longer dress. I like the two dresses posted above, but I'm not sure those are right for an evening wedding. (are they?)

Grey silk is a nice thought. I like grey.

i've really fallen for a certain kind of vintage fashion. unfortunately, i'm short and quite pear shaped so i'm losing weight before i actually attempt anything like pic related.

does anyone have advice on where to get this type of trousers? in the uk if that makes a difference. i'm mostly into 40s & before and american styles more than british so actual pieces in good condition are hard to come by.

i've been living in leggings for years and before that i had terrible cutesy fashion sense so i basically don't know what the fuck i'm doing. i hate all the 'retro fashion' shops though because they're either horrible looking 50s reproductions for obese women or 60s onwards. i like the kind of masculine edge to a lot of bacall's outfits. (though not all are good.)

i have no desires to look costume-y, but i love these kind of silhouttes

No. 110672

You can try charity shops and vintage stores (not retro repro shops,) but that may be time consuming. I'd recommend trying shops with clothes that are businessy, such as higher-end department stores, and including aimed at older women, and you may be able to find good quality clothes with that silhouette. You can even try eBay and Etsy. My clothes have been found at places like those, and I wear the style in your pic.
Best of luck!

honestly vintage fashion is kind to bigger sizes, its not like all women back then were tall and thin. keep in mind that shapewear was a thing for a majority of all vintage looks prior to the 70s, so nearly every woman has some kind of girdle and bra to give themselves a specific shape.

do your research, look beyond just what the actresses and models of the time were wearing, maybe look into some books on vintage fashion.

Spanx and similar type are pretty seamless under tight clothing. Anything made out of synthetic, smooth fabrics should be okay.

Some higher end lingerie brands make good shape wear if you like lace and trim. Sometimes I look at brands like Agent Provacateur and find dupes or wait for sales as I like how sensual some of their corsets and waspies are.

Unfortunately anything you buy that won’t ripple, pinch, or pucker can be expensive. Gift cards are your friend.

Only certain eras and styles. Fifties swing dresses, sure. A twenties gown or a wiggle dress on a larger size will look horrific.

Most genuine vintage garments are smaller, and there really weren’t many plus size ladies getting around in the world war rationing era. Regular larger sizes like an Australian 14 you may get but anything bigger will be hard to source. A 100kg woman would be shit outta luck for most anything other than a man’s coat.

Vintage clothing isn’t nearly as forgiving as modern interpretations of forties/fifties dresses. less or no stretch,

you're right to a point anon but whenever someone here thinks they are bigger or says they are chubby i take it with a grain of salt. most farmers have pretty big body image issues, i've seen girls called "fat" for just being above 100lbs. i doubt anon is 100kg. if you're within a healthy and normal BMI you'll be fine in most vintagewear. and i think wiggle dresses can look quite cute on a fuller figure. obviously this is a modern interpretation of a wiggle dress, most true vintage clothing is on the smaller side, but i don't think it looks too bad.

fellow weebshit jfashion dresser here and this really isn’t the right place to ask for advice on this style, most anons here are former weebs or weebs in denial, they don’t like clothes like this.

my main advice to you would be look for people genuinely interested in Japanese fashion to take inspiration from, look at old issues of KERA magazine. Avoid Anzujamu, who only wears aliexpress watered down jfashion knockoffs. Avoid western jfashion imitation brands like lazy oaf and sugar thrillz. Get an idea of what colors and cuts look good on you and focus on building your wardrobe around that. No matter how good you look, some people are going to think you look like a mess no matter what and you’re just going to have to accept that and ignore snide comments.

nude tights that match your skintone are fine with a closed-toe heel, especially in colder climates. it's fucking gross when I have to see prickly bare chapped legs in winter when womanchildren decide not to wear tights. we laugh about it all the time in my office because a lot of young women don't know how to dress business formal and make this mistake

formal events are FORMAL events. wear tights or have legs that look like you're wearing tights

I should have specified. I meant more of their newer pieces I’ve seen that are tweed material. I really love these tweed pieces but I was worrying about aging myself but now I realize they don’t look that crazy fancy, just so much more put together than I’m used to ever seeing at school or in my town in general.

At my university people tend to wear “athletic leisure” kind of clothing or like jeans and a basic t shirt.

I need your help with a pretty complex problem of mine.
Let's start with generalities, I am 25 years old, I kind of look younger, often people mistake me by a sophomore. I am 1.70, with ~70kg but still a nice body, wide hips and small waist. Overall I like my shape and would like to valorize it, but don't know how to do. When I dress "my age" I feel it ages me by a lot, I feel uncomfortable in feminine clothes with pastel or bright colours and I absolutely hate floral patterns and frills on me (kind of envy those who suit them well, though).
i like a lot the punkish-I don't know how to call the still in attached picture- style and hoboish stuff and I now it both fits my personality and I can look good and youthful in them.
Now that it is spring time again, I need to change my wardrobe and plan to give away a lot of stuff I no longer feel comfortable in or simply are worn out.

Thing is, I no longer know where to look to buy stuff I like, what to look for and I don't know where to find a list of items "to absolutely keep". I know which colours I like and fits me (which are black, white for exceptional summer wear, darker shades of green -such as emerald-, red and dark blues)
Another big, big, issue I always had was with trousers; I have big hips (which I came to hate because of stupid fashion made for slim girls) and an ass I really like, but jeans or trousers I own looks really awful on me, they add me way more weigh than I already do. Do you have any recommendation for which shapes, outftis or fabrics might suit my figure without looking like a pear? Do I have to commit only to long skirts? Which brands look at? Which tags should I look for when looking for inspiration or shopping?
Hope this is all and is clear enought for you to help me. I am truly desperate.

First off avoid anything that has a really big seam straight down the middle, cause that'll make you look like you have a camel toe even if you don't. The most important thing though is to make sure the pants actually fit. Most girls wear leggings that are way too small for them so they bunch up and/or stretch in the crotch area and create camel toe. Wearing a panty liner can also help smooth things out.

Where can you still get high quality clothes which aren't fast fashion tier? I have noticed that some places like Zara are pretty expensive, but still lacks in quality. Meanwhile the clothes my grandmother bought in the 80's are still in great condition and don't have sloppy stitching etc. They weren't even from top tier super expensive brands like Chanel or whatever.

No. 113532

You'd have to pay a bit more overall. In my experience you can get better quality clothing at a department store, but vintage/charity shops where I live usually only have grandma clothes from the 70s in huge sizes and shitty H&M nobody wants though I have friends who have found good stuff by browsing every day.

Uniqlo is good quality. They have nice basics but some of their clothes look really mumsy because of what's trendy in Japan (midi corduroy skirts, long wide trousers, oversized clothing, socks with peeptoe sandals and other weird shite like that).
H&M can go from terrible to surprisingly decent, I have some quality clothing from there. Touch and try on everything, see the fabric content, never order anything online, their thicker stuff like winter coats is usually going to be crap but the thinner clothing for spring is good. Their sister stores & Other Stories and COS have higher quality items with less annoying embellishments but are pricier as well.
Mango is usually nice, Zara can be good for some stuff but is usually dog shit.
Esprit is usually quality but you need to try on everything because where I'm from that's where middle aged aunties shop and it shows.

I used to love her style, but honestly lately she looks bland. Her outfits are unflattering to her body. I'm not sure she even considers fit or style when deciding on outfits because they look badly thought out, even on her instagram which also looks so soulless it's funny. Many of her outfits look indistinguishable, you can have a certain look and stick to it but Freddy's is just overall pretty boring. She just sees the colours beige, pink and white must have them.

Speaking of her personality I agree, she strikes me as the type to want to be seen as being quirky rich movie trope girl (by the interior of the rest of her house you can tell she was more likely lower-middle class until her YT fame). Also off-putting that she remarks on how poor/cheap/gross inexpensive clothes are when most her viewers are tween girls.

But that's just my honest (probably harsh) opinion. She is definitely pretty though and she does have some cute outfits. Overall her vibe is "boring" but I think because she over-does the same-y-ness of her looks.

not sure where you live but if superstars (or stan smiths) are still in in your are consider them bc they are really easy to clean w acetone so the fact they are white doesn't matter much.

white canvas sneakers like keds or converse or vans would look super cute but bit more difficult to clean so maybe consider another colour you'd get a lot of wear out of if that's a big minus in your books. i think vans also has some non-canvas slip ons? those could be easier to clean.

do not buy the ones you linked unless you want to look like either a freshman horsegirl going to her very 1st lecture or a stay-at-home mom to little Laykyyn and Nayvee, also they seem very overpriced for what they are.

I'm having a hard time not hating my body. I'm skinny but I have no waist. Think Britney Spears but like, if she never worked out (skinny fat). The only recommendations are to wear flare or bootcut jeans (which are kind of out of style and tbh not my style), to avoid anything at the waist, and no crewnecks. I'm able to find dresses as I love floral dresses but I need more casual clothes like jeans and shorts. Anything high waisted is unflattering because I have no waist. Anything super skinny at the ankle is unflattering because my legs are kind of like upside-down triangles in that my thighs hold quite a bit of weight but my calves are super skinny.

So with my body type provided, how do I dress casual (not in dresses) and also get more of an hourglass shape?

No. 113826

So, this might come off as a little harsh, but oversized clothing really does not look good on bustier/curvier people. Even very thin girls who are stockier because of height look silly in it. Boobs press out the shirt and take away the silhouette of oversized clothing is a meme trend anyway but I've seen bustier girls look good when wearing tighter underclothes (shirts, jeans, shorts, etc) paired with an oversight knit sweater or coat. Unfortunately oversized tshirts will look frumpy af if you have big boobies and that's just how the world works.

I agree it can look bad. I am somewhat busty and if I want to wear a loose t shirt like the pic you posted I will usually wear a super tight sports bra to flatten my tits out.

This is my solution though I'm not very busy as I barely pass as a C cup. I just take two sports bras and double up. I put one on regular and the second one backwards to help make them look smaller for oversized shirts and it works out pretty well.

Anything that hangs off the busy makes you look much larger because there’s no waist definition. A bigger woman wearing a top that drapes off her bust or shoulders will look like a beanbag with some hose pipes sticking out. Make a waist.

What kind of shorts/jeans should I buy if my waist is non-existent and I'm basically straight up and down? High-waisted shorts and skinny jeans just bring attention to my rectangular shape but other types of jeans (bootcut, flare) and lowrise shorts aren't very cute imo.

They make replicas now that are near indistinguishable from the authentic ones, see: therealreal repeatedly selling reps that passed their authentication service. But like I said if you're poor it doesn't matter because it will be obvious that it's fake.

I think it's tacky if you're constantly wearing all designer and ugly sequined gucci shit all the time but a simple chanel or hermes bag isn't necessarily tacky, especially if vintage. I have a a few bags from Chanel and worn with the right outfit they look cute. 80% of people who wear them are tacky new money who should be saving their money instead of racking up credit card bills, tho.

Coccinelle and Furla bags are ugly honestly.

You shouldn't be buying designer bags (or any non essential clothing item) unless the amount you're spending on them is negligible to you, and if you've recently come into money you absolutely shouldn't be spending money on handbags. Unless you know you have a very sizable nest egg you shouldn't be spending money on non essential luxuries.

Aside from new money, there are women out there who are saving for months for a bag and have 5 credit cards - how is that a smart financial move? There are absolutely newly rich instagram/youtube influencers are racking up monumental amounts of debt, or will eventually be forced to go into debt because they're incredibly short sighted and their "jobs" will inevitably fizzle out.

Pretty sure you're the one who can't comprehend it.
New money = someone who has recently acquired their money. Which is literally what I explained In the first paragraph before going off on an aside in the second.

Many people who have recently become rich have no idea what to do with their money because they've been poor as fuck their whole lives. So instead of saving it or investing it, they live beyond their means and splash out (buying luxury handbags, cars, summer homes, PJs, etc.) but don't realize that their "fortune" can absolutely disappear in a short period of time with that kind of spending, especially if they have all of their eggs in one basket, hence why new money rarely becomes old money… many people like this do in fact go into debt to keep up appearances while they're inching slowly towards foreclosure and bankruptcy.

I'm starting my job working in a library very soon, I have no idea what outfits to wear to work as there's no dress code but I know there's probably preferred ones.

I worked in a library last year and adored it! We didn’t really have a dress code either than the normal no graphic tshirts, ripped jeans or open toed shoes so I wore a lot of plain tshirts with patterned jackets/cardigans, patterned button up shirts, and sweaters. I think jumpers and pinafores would be fine as long as they’re work appropriate in length, I was able to wear a lot of fun printed dresses and maxi skirts and working in an environment with mostly older women meant a lot of compliments on quirky vintage outfits which was super fun!

Ok, here's my recipe as someone who works in an office where I had to create an entirely business professional but casual versatile wardrobe from scratch.

Firstly, invest in a few good pairs of slacks, skirts of varying length, and blazers in the 3 main colors (black, grey, navy)

Also get a few colorful lightweight blazers for spring/summer (pink is always good)

Neutral cardigans are great because they are lightweight and can be dressed up or down depending on occasion. I have black, tan, and pink cardigans.

Get shitloads of shells (tanks) in all different colors, patterns and cuts. They are pretty cheap online from sites like Postmark or Threadup. If you have factory outlets near you those are pretty cheap as well. You can wear these with pretty much anything and look great under a blazer.

For jewelry, statement necklaces are a must. You can wear the same shirt twice in a week just by adding a statement necklace and swapping out for a different blazer/cardigan.

Shoes… not sure if you wear heels, but neutral and black heels with a pointed toe are a must. Casual flats with a pointed toe in black, tan, and navy are also good.

I avoid buying "trendy" office wear because you're buying seasonly expensive items with a potentially short lifespan. You can still look on-trend if you've got the right patterns going on. Plus, most of my wardrobe can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, so you are not just spending money on something that has 1 purpose only.

Hope this helps!

i didn't even realize there'd be a dress code for a call center because majority of your job is just talking to people over the phone rather than talking to them face to face, you know?
i used to work in an office and there was one woman there who dressed in way too many layers you could tell she was uncomfortable because she got up from her spot the most and just moved around in her seat a lot more than other people.
i typically dressed in a some slacks, a blouse, and some nice slip ons. i'd carry the same cardigan with me just in case it got too cold. being overall comfortable will always be my biggest priority. if i tried on an outfit that looked really cute and professional, but i could tell i wouldn't last more than 3 hours wearing it, i'd revert back to looking for more slacks and blouses.

so weird, we could always wear whatever at call center because we wouldn't be in direct contact with customers anyways. In fact, there were a lot of muslim ladies working there because they were allowed to keep their scarfs on unlike many other work places.
The only fun thing about call center was that it was so casual and hating on the callers with the collegues.

Is rather be more casual as well but they said at the interview they’re like, fighting their staff to not wear shorts and flip flops to the office. Plus I’ve always had a sort of stuffy, overdressed vibe anyway. Not too uppity, just a line skirts and blouses or nice jeans and a camisole/cardigan.


>>114728
Apparently they get clients and upper management in-office now and then and current staff dresses like shit. To be fair, I could smell three applicants during the first and second interviews but they could have just been deliberately bad interviews to stay on the dole.

Your mileage may vary, but as a college student with no money I've found good stuff in a lot of places. Also depends on what you like/your style.
>Uniqlo
Amazing basics and undergarments. Sometimes have very interesting clothes, but it mostly looks super mumsy which is what's trending in Japan right now.
>H&M
I've found great stretchy jeans, shorts and underwear here, as well as some nice shirts. Quality can vary, can be a really good quality piece for a bargain or hot garbage. Never order online, always try on in person and touch to feel the material.
>Esprit
Same story as Uniqlo but more expensive.
>COS
Boxy Scandinavian style, sister brand of H&M. You can find many workable pieces but they're mostly very minimalistic.
>& Other Stories
Another sister brand of H&M. Slightly better quality than H&M but often comes with a markup, accessories and fragrances are nice, as well as some pieces on sale, otherwise not worth the full price.
>NAFNAF
Very girly, usually good quality but some of the clothes can be extremely tacky.

Used to be great but is now getting more and more "professional older lady" as time goes on, and the prices are rising. Nice trousers and some accessories.

I think you're overthinking things. If you want to wear trendy clothes go ahead and wear them. As long as you dress appropriately for work literally nobody gives a fuck.

If you're uncomfortable wearing business casual/more formal clothing, wear a nice blouse with jeans and go from there. You can ease into that style and you'll learn to dress nicely for work without feeling like an idiot.

Also: this board is packed with people who are intimately familiar with niche Japanese fashions. The fashion advice you get here might not be the sort you're looking for. Might be best to just head to H&M, try on everything until you figure out what you like, and go from there.

I'm looking for a new purse for the summer (and beyond), can anyone help?
I like silver hardware, especially zippers, I'd like the bag to be black as well. Canvas or another soft fabric is ideal but leather is ok too.

Pic related is what I've been mostly using; I love that it looks small but opens up to a huge compartment. Is this type of purse always called a 'satchel'? Does it go by any other names?

I'd like to keep the price under $150. I feel like there is a Marc Jacobs bag out there that may fit my description but idk?
If anyone has good purse shopping sites please recommend!

Sorry if this isnt the right thread (thought it was more related to fashion than youtube milk). What do you guys think of Internetgirl and her style bundles? I think it's a pretty cool concept, though obviously a bit flawed. I dont really watch her videos so I dont know a lot about her, but I really like watching videos of people unboxing her bundles (its relaxing I guess). Basically her fans can buy a 'bundle' and send her a description of their style and she'll choose a few outfits for them based on the description. Apparently a lot of her fans were disappointed in their bundles because she didnt 'get' their style or something. I understand why people would be upset if they paid $150 for clothes they didnt like, but also if you're asking her to style you shes not going to be able to read your mind especially if you like styles that she herself doesnt wear and isn't familiar with. Dont know if anyone is familiar with her/Youtubers who do similar sorts of things. Honestly I'm a bit curious as to what I'd get if I ordered a bundle because my style is a lot less 'girly' than her/a lot her viewers, but I dont think dropping $150 out of curiosity is worth it kek

Also a lot of her fans/herself seem to be the pseudo-goth/punk/grunge type where they use those labels interchangeably and think it's all about wearing fishnets and black lipstick… but that's neither here nor there.

i think some of your boho shit could work. students like teachers with a flowy style, it's not too obnoxious if you get what i mean. just make sure you find some super comfy shoes and don't wear anything too suffocating. since you're on a budget, don't be afraid to take a look in some thrift stores. i've found amazing outfits in tip top shape, even items with tags still on them.

I agree with other anon that thrift stores are the way to go for staples like blouses and skirts. Literally all my skirts are second hand.
As for recs from a fellow Leaf, personally I've bought most of my non-thrifted shirts from the sales rack in Suzy Shier. I'm sure their shirts will accommodate a short woman with a larger bust since I have a wide ribcage and shoulders and they often fit just fine. Honestly even in other more "youthful" and casual stores like Ardene I've found sweaters on sale that pass well as professional. It's just a matter of looking.

As for non-skirt bottoms, maybe take up even hand sewing when it comes to pants so you can at least hem them.

I’m from Canada too. Idk if you have this in your province but Home Outfitters is going out of business and they have such good clothes on clearance! I got ~ 20 very good quality designer items for $200. I usually dress feminine like blouses, skirts and pretty dresses. they had a lot of that there, as well as hipster and trendy stuff too. Though, keep in mind most of the clothes are from the fall/winter 2018/19 season so they’re a bit out of style but a very good bargain. Just find some timeless staples.

I got something like pic related that was originally $300 for $50. I also got shirts that were around $20-50 for $4.

I know that high waisted circle skirts look good on me but I‘m really not that much into wearing skirts or dresses. At least not as much. I‘d love to wear high waisted jeans more because I love how accentuated my waist is. But I guess they’re pretty much the very thing I should avoid?

i take a lot of inspiration from men's fashion. women's fashion seems really complicated to me, and most days i can't be bothered. that said, i'd like advice on getting started with a more femme/'cute' take on my usual aesthetics.

big influences for me include rick owens (even tho i can't afford that shit), random people i see at local punk shows, and 2010 nu-goth shit, because my tastes have not changed since i was 15, which is probably bad. favorite brand is actual pain.

pic related would be style goals, but i live in a hot climate. a typical outfit would be a baggy black band t-shirt, black jeans and black chelsea boots. i ought to wear more colors than just black, but i like how i don't need to worry about color coordination.

if you don't want to do the neon look, i'd look at some of madonna's 80s outfits. a decent bit of them actually still hold up pretty well today if you take away some of the accessories.

No. 120466

>>120438
I think going for a look a la Madonna like the other anon suggested is a good idea, or try looks that you'd see in fashion magazines. You could even look at music videos for ideas as well. It's way more than tacky neon stuff. I'm into 80s fashion as a regular style expression, and find that to be kind of fake looking the same way that 20s costume flapper stuff is. I like the tacky shit and really dated stuff too so take my advice with a grain of salt.
Make sure you do your hair up in an appropriate style and it'll really make the whole outfit look more 80s. I tend to like pairing a loose shirt or shirt/coat with shoulderpads with a thinner bottom half like a miniskirt, pants, etc. I strongly recommend looking at actual stuff from the 80s like films, Vogue, anything, to get more inspiration for looks. Some of it, esp from Vogue, will be really silly looking, but you'll find something. A dress or skirt with a peplum can be spiced up into something 80s, if you have one, as those were quite popular. Leotards/bodysuits can be layered with a matching skirt or high-waisted jeans. There was also a resurgence in 40s styles that you can implement into your look, as long as it looks more 80s than 40s. Remember as well that you can look outside the mainstream and do more 80s goth or punk looks, if you're into either. Doing a preppy or yuppie look may be fun for laughs, although not all of it is very flattering.
For accessories, big hoops, big plastic jewelry, lots of bangles, etc, all work well and are easy enough to find. If you have time and cash to spare, thrift stores are really easy for this.
I would really emphasize the contrasting tight and baggy or boxy clothes because I've found that's a very easy way to make an outfit look 80s but still flattering compared to the really loose and boxy shit, and doing your hair up in a flattering but still 80s style.
Have fun! I know I just wrote a shitload for you to read, but I really love 80s aesthetics, and I think it's a fun period in style to work with once you get past the really ugly frumpy stuff and outlandishness. It's just a little hard to suggest specifics to you without knowing what you usually like or your haircut, face and body type, etc.

Damb, that's what I wear now and I'd refer to my style as granny-ish. I guess old age really is like a second childhood or something…

I feel like edgy fashion is super easy to transform into being "sexy" though? Maybe just go for more form fitting pieces, and also shop around for ideas like >>120996 suggested. If replacing your whole wardrobe is a financial issue, then slowly selling parts of it here and there can aid in affording new outfits.

Things that have an unremovalble stain or rip no matter how small, things that have faded in color, things I haven't worn in 1+ year, things that don't fit my style anymore.
Yet there's still so much, I'm having a hard time letting go of the things I decluttered. The ones I am giving to friends and family are easier to get rid of, because it doesn't feel like I'm "losing" them if someone I love is using them.

Something I do is put everything I don't think I want anymore in bags and bring it over to the attic (or any other hard(er) to reach place). If a long period of time goes by and I literally forget about the clothes that's a pretty big sign to me I can now easily get rid of them without the fear or regret.

congratz you've just become a walking advertisement for LV for a grand total of $2000.

In all seriousness, I'll never understand the hype around clothing and accesoiries plastered in obnoxious logos. Why'd you wanna PAY to be FREE advertisement for a brand and on top of that wear the brand's image instead of your own?

I used to watch "luxury" youtubers and hilariously they all regularly complained about the quality of their LV/Chanel/Dior/etc. bags and accesories. If they bothered to look beyond the big names they could buy themselves really nice bags that are far superior in quality in the same (or lower if you wanted) price range.

It does “fit” i guess because it’s so basic but I was just wondering what people wear with bags that they may have that are similar. It’s a basic bucket bag but I’m not very stylish. My parents gifted it to anyways

Meh. This was my first LV and I agree that the pattern that is “LV” is tacky in its own way but I don’t mind it too much. None of my other bags are as gaudy in terms of branding imo, and I did want this

Quality wise a bag like this isn’t “worth” the money because you can buy quality for much less. No leather (besides I guess like specialities) or basic hardware costs thousands of dollars.

It’s all name and yeah sure, quality In “high end” bags can be amazing as well but price doesn’t equal quality after a certain price point

This is from the H and M Oktoberfest Collection only available in Germany and Austria. Idk maybe it’s also available in other European countries but I only saw it advertised in these two countries so far. I missed my chance in getting it while staying in Germany and Austria, which makes me so sad. All the stores closed before I finished my sightseeing, and the stores I went into didn’t have my preferred colour (pictured). Are there any ways to get this shipped to North America?

We do have very cheap 2nd hand shops but those are for really poor people and you can't just go thrifting there because you need a receipt that you're on welfare. So I have to shop at Mango, Zara, Forever21…

No. 122599

>>122474
I agree, but there are a couple ways to mitigate this.

Don't wear true thigh-highs. Get over-the-knee socks. I think these are a lot more wearable than thigh-highs, which for me are a little too provocative for everyday wear. But socks that end just over the knee can create a cozier and less obviously sexy look. I think of otk socks as cute and homey, not weeby. Even more so if you wear them with flat boots or oxfords.

To smooth the line (or bulge) between leg and sock, I wear non-shiny thin tights (well, "hosiery" but I hate that word) underneath. No one will notice you have flesh-colored tights on. You stay warmer and there's no "sausage bump." I recommend the non-shiny or semi-shiny h&m tights (the 2-pack ones).

Kooter used the tights trick in her outfit videos, but she did it with control tights. In some of the videos you can see the control panel descending far below her super-short skirts.

I absolutely think it is. But I prefer to avoid the combo thigh highs + plaid/tennis or any skirt that fits more into the weeby-ish side, those I prefer wearing just with black tights.

I'm looking to refine my style into more of a business casual direction as I'm hoping to get a job as a legal assistant soon.

If anyone here also frequents the Kibbe Body Types thread, I'm a Soft Gamine — sharp, broad shoulders, otherwise narrow and slim upper body, 34B boobs, more defined hips and thighs than anywhere else — and 5'3" with a BMI of 20.3. I think that's where my problem lies: I'm lost with figuring out how to dress more professionally (my current job has no dress code so I tend to wear jeans and a blouse with a cardigan and my Doc Martens oxfords) especially since the Kibbe thing encourages Soft Gamines to wear skirts, so long as they're mini. Mini skirts in an office seem unprofessional to me, even paired with tights, and I don't like how constricted pencil skirts feel. I may just have to wear slacks all the time, which is fine by me, but I'd love to hear opinions.

I've looked at Express for ideas and I like a good deal of their items, but I get the feeling that they may be overpriced? Store suggestions are more than appreciated.

With Fall finally starting, I'm looking to really update my wardrobe. I'm kind of doing a style overhaul (new hair, new clothes, etc) and I'm into more of a layered look. I like sticking to black and darker colors but I'm not opposed to adding color here and there.

I'm not sure where to start looking. I've been shopping at thrift stores for a few years but I've been really neglecting my style/just picking up whatever's cheap. I've been putting this off because it's going to be a lot of work but I want to look nice again.

This all looks like strega/ dark mori. IME thrifting is key to these layered looks, just thrifting within the colour palette if that makes sense. You can distress any pieces you buy yourself. You can get some pieces like this in the like unnamed ~alternative~ section in h&m that has random dark distressed unlabeled stuff. I also highly recommend places like TK Maxx where you can browse through a ton of varying brands and styles in one place. If you look up strega and mori clothing on pinterest there are some great guides and rules to kind of adhere to in order to keep it all coherent. I dont wear the style anymore but I loooove the look of it and seeing other people wear it!

I'm a former lolita that just konmarid my wardrobe and tbh I have like 5 pieces of clothing I actually like. Anyone have advice for rebuilding a wardrobe on a budget or with a limited sense of what style you're into?

For cheap biz-cas clothes you could try H&M, but most mall stores are really shit quality for the price.
Also, don't pay too much attention to what should look good on you and just try on things you like rather than obsessing over some internet weirdo's interpretation of an out of print book by a straight guy from the 1980s.

I try to buy one good versatile piece of clothing per paycheck when I’m revamping my wardrobe. And then when i have a decent amount of basics, I’ll look into the more interesting stuff. Also! Buying stuff when it’s on sale.. my overall taste hasnt changed much so I can usually confidently buy something for different seasons during the end of season sales.

Everything's so unflattering now. Men objectively look nicer when they put effort in because their clothes aren't designed to reveal every inch of their figure/hang off them in weird ways. Women's fashion (until the '60s) was at least designed to flatter the figure.

and how thin fabric is so unless you have a perfect barbie body skin-tight things look unflattering

jeans are unflattering and hard, everything is practically clubwear or shitty wannabe modern art looking pieces that are practically sacks on you with designs, or when you do find flattering clothes forever 21 or whatever dumb store put some stupid "I love pizza" saying on it

I just miss the days where I can go to the mall and pick out flattering clothes in most stores, now everything is just so uncomfortable, thin, or shapeless. At least new york and company has fairly cute things. Another issue is that it seems everyone (where I live at least) just goes out in crappy gym clothes despite not even working out. I'm not saying people should get dressed up each and every time they leave their house but there's something wrong when my mom wears a blouse and jeans and I wear a casual sundress and look more sophisticated than most of the people in a 5-star restaurant we ate at

as someone who wears atheleisure wear, it's mostly because I have a lot of issues with finding clothes that fit my body type (really short but fairly muscular) and can't afford a tailor. it hits that level of formfitting but more structured than things like fashion leggings. I have issues with fabric textures and regulating body temp so the breathable cotton fabric is nice for me.

I look like shit in dresses, believe me if I could pull off a casual sundress I probably would. the sporty look suits me though. and I kinda like being able to take off running or climb some shit on impulse without worrying about my clothes lol.

Personally I have a hard time finding clothes that fit my frame in the higher end "work clothes" genre but I've recently realized I should just get the damn things tailored. Finding non-synthetic textiles seems difficult as well, but not impossible. Slowly working on finding pieces I truly love and then getting them altered.

Getting clothes altered does add some cost to the piece but you don't really need too many clothes at the end of the day and I'd much rather spend some extra money on making clothes fit me instead of feeling bad whenever I see how shapeless the garments are in the mirror.

I gave three 501 Levi's to their in-house tailor and I'm so stoked to have the waists actually fit me in a couple weeks!

Have you tried shopping at thrift stores? I work retail in a mid level brand, but even I only buy clothes from either thrift store or using my employee discount at my store. You don't have to only buy shitty cheap clothing, for the same price of new shitty cheap clothing you can get used mid-level/high end clothing. It may be because the thrift store I usually drive to is near a rich metro area, but I've gotten madewell, j-brand, acne jeans, calvin klein, stuart weitzman, etc. from there for prices that you would pay for new stuff from forever 21. Classy good stuff doesn't have to be expensive if you don't mind the fact it may have been worn before.

Petite as well as hourglass. I find a lot of petite clothes come in a narrow hip shape and a similar-width waist (kinda beanpole-esque which is cute af but isn't what I have) which doesn't work for me. If I wand a good hip and shoulder fit I need a size that makes my waist look absurd.

you can get custom items from the taobao shop though. in fact there are hundreds of taobao shops that sell custom items not even just custom sized, usually cosplay shops but stores like antaina for lolita/punk shoes have been around for 15 years now, since it seems like you're not aware of that.

from those call out posts, it's either just the taobao store ripping you off by dolling up an etsy account or a dropshipper. the most damning evidence is how many are sold. the reason the etsy seller probably accuses aliexpress shops of selling dupes is because they are just likely dropshipping, which is fine. i'd have felt the same as you maybe 5 years ago, but etsy and storenvy are so notorious for having taobao dropshippers now this doesn't seem out of place for that.

also i think you need to be educated on how taobao and chinese made clothing in general works.

>handmade is a loose marketing term

sweatshop made clothes are technically handmade, the term hand sewn is a different term which still doesn't imply where or who sewed it.

>as i said hundreds if not more shops on aliexpress and taobao custom make items

all that is required to do that is owning the factory or having a good relationship with them so you can get a small MOQ (minimum order quantity) and order one item of one size. many shops in the lolita community have a small MOQ but need x amount of orders to get them made.

>chinese sellers will lie for more money

years back, taobao stores weren't accessible by foreigners, shopping services and aliexpress weren't really a thing so many companies would either work with small overseas shops or act as boutiques to reach the western market. this still happens today and is easier to point out, and many shops will get called out on it.

anyway i just don't want you (or other people) to get fooled into buying something 3x the cost you could get it elsewhere. it's highly likely that a highrated aliexpress seller is getting from the same factory.

No. 124024

>>124022
There is only one callout post about this store, though. The rest is glowing reviews about how well-made the items are. The post itself doesn't actually prove that the accounts all belonged to the same person either. To me it looks like a classic case of bootleggers ripping images off and impersonating people.

What I have first hand experience with is, I'll see an influencer or a girl on the street wearing a really cute piece and I'll order one from a site like aliexpress and it'll be a really shitty dupe version of it with roughly the same design, but a difference in material and construction. I don't then go and assume the seller was the same as the one that sold the way better original I saw in person, because they're just not the same piece at all.

Do you personally think it is impossible for this seller to be legit?

If my math is correct it comes down to an average of 9 sales a day over 10 years on Etsy. Since there's no actual proof that the other stores are operated by the same people I can't really speculate. They have 3 people listed as "sewing", and they have separate people to handle QA, pattern-making, etc. Doesn't seem impossible to me.

No. 124026

>>124024
lol you're getting so defensive and missing my points i don't get why are you assuming the seller isn't legit even if they were a big factory. is it because you feel cheated? i just explained how the marketing works and it's obvious that the taobao shop is the same store.

honestly the most laughable part of this is that the items are clearly made with super cheap synthetic materials and don't look nice for the cost. this etsy shop is clearly just to bait people who aren't internet savvy into paying a premium for their products. western brands do the same exact things with the same terminology. even expensive luxury brands do this. believe what you want though, just don't be surprised if you're wrong.


it's also extremely obvious that they're the same shop because the links on the call out redirect to their etsy.

There are lots of candids of their items around the net and they look good to me. The buyers that post the candid pics seem to think that the pieces are sturdy and the material is true to what they claim (i.e. wool) in the listing.

What I never see is candids of the Aliexpress-type items being sold. Been looking at reviews and comments and user uploaded photo sections of multiple storefronts that claim to offer the same cloak I posted upthread. All I see are low res versions of the marketing images and not a single candid.

Your best bet will be to read about garment construction and fabrics, and check out fabrics at a fabric store. Feel the weight and grain of materials and compare them to the polyesters and cheap poplins.

When looking at seams, look for evenness, slipped stitches, or spots where the fabric has slipped out of place during sewing.

You want French/bound/flatfelled seam.

Pic related is typical fast fashion tier bad sewing. See how the hem isn’t straight? And the overlocked stitches have loose loops?

Pinup/inspired can be pretty tricky to get around in winter so I avoid it altogether.

I’m not sure where you’re based, but there’s a shop called Dangerfield who have really cute cardigans - especially from their Princess Highway and Revival brands but shipping outside of NZ and Australia is really expensive.

You’re other option could be to maybe invest in one of the Pearl coats from Collectif - they cost a pretty penny but are apparently super warm. I’m sure they have them in a dark green and navy, to bring more winter-suited tones into your outfit. Pop on some thick tights and use a hair accessory and shoes to tie the colours together.

Though I’m not sure if this is just a one-off purchase or if you are dabbling/already into pinup inspired clothes. The Pearl coat would definitely be an investment piece, otherwise yeah - just a nice cardigan with some embroidered details with a brooch. Pop a long sleeve top/merino/thermals underneath for an added layer of warmth because tbh if you’re wearing a cardigan over top to keep warm, no one will see what’s underneath.

I think the pattern is what's making it read super not Wintery. You can totally wear a skirt in this style in whatever season you like (you'll have to layer with coats like >>124112 suggested
and thick woolen stockings in Winter obv) but it would work better if the skirt were a solid color or a less fruity pattern.

Florals and fruits generally read as anything but winter, so it'll look out of place no matter what. That doesn't mean you shouldn't wear it, but you will stand out wearing something vintage-y already, and the apples on top of the cut is even more eye-catching in a gloomy season.

Is there a reason you specifically want to wear this skirt in Winter?

Yes, it was more about the pattern being too much summer-y that worried me.

rattan bag >>124217 anon here. thanks for all the suggestions. after hearing your opinions on the rattan bag, i decided to give it a shot, but i ended up finding an even better rattan/woven bag in the meantime! i absolutely love it, it ticks all the boxes i had and it's super cute. if anyone is interested it's called a "drawstring rattan bag" and you can find them for super cheap on ali.

What are some good shops that I could find a pretty formal dress for a wedding that's not too expensive? I just got notice today from my bf that we were invited to a coworkers wedding and it's in two weeks, I'm between jobs right now so I have a pretty conservative budget but I wanna look cute. Kind of freaking out about how soon it is! My style leans more vintage/boho/girly so I'm looking for something more along the lines of a flowy maxi dress rather than anything form-fitting. Any help would be appreciated!

for rustic/traditional looking you could look into sisal bags. they're lovely imo

those rattan bags are really cute and don't look cheap at all!

idk what it is about contemporary fashion, i live what lv and gucci havé been doing for the past 10 years, but it seems almost impossible to do anything but streetwear without making reference to 2005 or before… and with reference comes fetishization, so often, of women’s bodies, it just goes kind of hand-in-hand. so take insta thotties, that style, which is new, or billie eilish, is still like referencing the 90’s mall goth, but what her style does is also reference high fashion itself, with the fake lv and gucci tailored to her that she started out wearing… i’m just wondering what makes female fashion interesting and i think what it is, at least in the late 2010’s onward, is paying homage to like with gucci e.g., the 70’s, or pop art, or marie antoinette, without letting it become cosplay. influence rather than pastiche. you know? my thoughts are in disarray i’m just so often disappointed when i see girls who are making an effort and having it fall flat, so to speak, or be reduced to some « pinup » or otherwise alternagirl aesthetic. if this is problematic please feel free to say. xx

It's either anon or a girl this person is stalking. It's barely even connected to the post since you can't really see her outfit.

Where do you guys shop? I like thrift stores but sadly the clothes I get there don't last very long. If I had to describe my style, I'd have trouble defining it since a lot of my clothes are really old. I like black and neutral colors, but comfy stuff overall. In terms of shopping, I don't do it often but if I do, I go through the "coco" section of dollskill and buy about 2 or 3 items a year. Any online store recommendations? Dollskill is too much for me tbh.

Any tips on what kind of summer dress to get if I'm basically builtlike pic related, just a bit less muscular? I've got no waist and have wide shoulders.

I've always been a tomboy but am trying to be a bit more feminine now because why not but I feel inredibly insecure wearing dresses since well, I feel like I look like a man.

Make sure your dresses (and tops) have broad straps. It's an optical illusion, your shoulders will look even broader compared to the thin straps of spagetthi straps. No off the shoulder, halter or strapless dresses.

I think you'd look nice in longer dresses that aren't fitted. Something like pic related. Try some on in store and take pictures so you can judge what looks nice on you.

additionally: I think you'd probably look better in "heavier" fabrics, avoid light, floaty stuff

If you live in america / canada THREDUP might be a good idea since it's just thrifting but online, they have a great range too I'm so sad they don't ship to my country. Also sans the obvious thrifting apps like depop and poshmark, I'd try ASOS / ASOS marketplace there's a lot of great minimalist and neutral pieces there, and sometimes its affordable.

Their shit is overpriced and obviously second hand. I got a suede skirt from there and I love it but I'm ashamed of how much I spent on it.

Does anyone know where I could get a good fitted hoodie that almost looks like a mini dress? I'm very short and I keep seeing Insta posts of girls in ones that finish on the upper thigh and they're more tight than most and it's super cute.

What bras have cute straps that I can show under a tank top and where can I find them? Or soft comfortable bandeau style bras?

Lace bralettes for sure, I have a white one to wear under tank tops/see through white shirts that I have to wear a bra with. You can find them at pretty much any store, mine actually has underwire (got it at target) but I’ve seen similar ones without underwire at free people, francesca’s, aerie, etc.
