The most joy I feel in fashion hunting is when I see a full outfit that just clicks: it's been styled with thought by someone, I can see it in front of me and clearly know I like it, and I know it is somewhat practical (aka isn't avant garde) because a real person is walking about real life wearing it.

However, watching these 'what people are wearing in NYC' videos isn't as great of an experience because I would much rather just browse through photos, and better yet have those photos tagged or categorized with some basic style key words that I could then search through to only see the styles I am interested in.

Does anyone have such websites or galleries they would like to recommend?

I live in the boonies which means these days I rarely try on clothes in store unless I happen to find myself in a place like NYC. The exception, however, is a Target in the next town. My guilty pleasure is trying on bathing suits or workout clothes and occasionally buying something compelling.

For you Target experts, what are the good brands? What do you avoid? What is hit or miss? I feel like there are gems there, and I haven't taken the time to sift through clutter. I've made some mistakes, mainly being seduced by low prices.

So far I've had luck with bikinis from Xhiliration, now mainly Shade & Shore. Joylab. The rare One Fine Day skirt [I've bought a couple of bad ones too]. Not-cheap chocolate and Essie nail polish that you can buy elsewhere. What am I missing? And should I feel bad about even considering these fast fashion items?

What are your go to loafers? Something comfortable that you can wear all day.

By "Pear Body'* I mean bodies where the hip line is the widest feature. This is down to bone structure with the pelvis area simply being more 'splayed' and is very common among women POC.

Like I have only ever seen approaches that (1) try to slim up the hips and thighs and (2) add a lot of fluff, poof, and commotion around the bodice and shoulders in an effort purely to 'distract' from the wide hips and thighs. I find any attempts to 'slim up' the lower body just never work, and these clothes often don't look flattering when you are in movement or going about your day (because you can only hold an illusion in a pose or a moment).

I would love to see any outfits that you find do justice to the pear shaped body by letting the widest part of the body just be. I'm new to the styling world, and I only have one to share, this dress worn by Saoirse Ronan.

It struck me as such a perfect dress for honoring a pear body shape: it does not try to slim the hips, and instead breaks into this wider line right at the widest point of the hips and continues to place all this texture and bunched up fabric right around the thighs. It does not add a bunch of poof and pizzazz at the neckline and upper chest (It is super smooth and sleek and draped beautifully). It subverts the entire narrative on dressing for 'pear shaped bodies' (does the opposite of downplaying lower body and poofing up the upper).

What styles and garments have you seen worn that really acknowledge and flatter the 'pear body' shape?

* Disclaimer: I know the term 'Pear Body' isn't in vogue since the connotation is of prescribing clothing off of a body feature seen as a flaw (the wide hips), but I am looking for a way to acknowledge that body part and accommodate it as it is.

Hi all -- I'm curious what everyone wears as their go-to trench coat. I am absolutely obsessed with the trench coat silhouette and its purpose as a light, transitional season coat, but have been thwarted in purchasing by the typical color scheme - beige, beige, khaki, and MORE beige. So I am curious if others have bitten the bullet (and beige suits them more than it does me, lol), or if people have found cute non-beige, high quality options.

Companies I've seen with a nice trenchcoat include Cuyana's silk trench coat and Madewell. Unfortunately both color schemes fall into the dreaded beige category. Would love to get the discussion going for more options!

For reference I have the platform ones- they sit in my closet way too much and I have no clue what to wear them with? They feel a bit clunky to me- I am a taller girl (about 5’10”) and my shoe size is 9.5 so maybe that plays into the clunkiness feeling but I need some confidence and proper styling 😩 help

Hey everybody,

I subscribe to newsletters for pretty much all of my interests but haven’t seen a good one around outfit curation/ fashion. At least one that isn’t just a marketing list from a brand.

Does anyone have any good recs?

Hello friends,

Most of my life is out and about in commute and just bearing the regular weather. I've lived on both coasts, so I've been through the West coast-kinda winters (which are just cold and/or rainy) and the East coast winters (which are hella cold and snowy). This got me thinking, surely there must be some very well styled outfits where the outerwear is a critical piece of the outfit itself.

I'm not talking about a luxurious peacoat or expensive puffer jacket that 'goes with everything' and is 'an investment piece'. Neither am I talking about an avant garde fashion week outfit where someone is wearing something as flashy as a met gala attendee.

I'd love any thoughts on outfits you've seen, whether in everyday life or born by a fashion designer, where the outerwear is as aesthetically relevant part of the outfit as any other garment (or maybe even more).

This thread is for sharing all your new buys. Clothes, shoes, razors cologne, share it all. ...Just kidding. But just like MFA, and per your suggestions, we are now going to have a weekly recent purchases thread. So gather round and brag about your purchases! Bags, clothing, shoes, jewellery, perfume, etc.

If possible, please share a picture and a little review! Pictures can also be shared directly in the comments now.

Here you can share all the fashion related news you have come across recently. Whether it is a newly released runway, an interview with a designer, a new label slashing onto the scene or speculating new trends emerging, everything news related is welcome here.

What do you have your eyes on? Any early bird specials? Where are the best deals?

Can’t figure out why a certain outfit doesn’t work for you or are you just stumped on what is flattering on you? Then this is the thread for you and you can ask your questions here.

Please do refrain from talking negatively about your own body, we understand that you are likely frustrated due to various reasons (we’ve all been there) but out of respect for others and their struggles, keeping it positive helps everyone.

What’s everyone’s predictions for 2025 early winter / spring / summer and fall fashion trends? I’m trying to get ahead lol.

When clothes are supposed to fit tight/oversized, how do you decide if they fit right or that it’s too much? Sometimes I struggle to decide if it fits fine/it fits how it’s supposed to fit or that it’s too tight/oversized on me and I need a different size.

Do you have specific rules? Look at how it fits on the model? How do you make sure you don’t buy things that look alright when you quickly try them on but when you wear them for a day find out it’s actually ill fitting?

I got inspired seeing u/BlaisePetal's inspo album the other week and threw together a mood board of the trends I wanna try this season, with plans to upcycle or refashion some of the things I have to try them more cheaply.

Trends to Try and (Aspirational) DIY Plans:

• Sheer, voluminous skirts - Besides just getting a skirt, I picked up some super cheap gauzy scarves from the Goodwill bins that could be layered to achieve this look
• Long gloves - I tried the "subversive basics" trend of cutting up stockings to look like gloves which was cool, but for something functional in the winter I'm going to cut the sleeves off of my dated, skinny-armed cardigan that can't realistically layer with anything. You know the ones.
• Leg warmers/Boot Cuffs - I think this will be super short lived, but realistically the arm sleeves to gloves DIY is the same as leg warmers sans the thumb hole. If you go for the slumped look, thumb holes might not even be visible.
• Trailing ribbons - I got some ribbon from the craft store and Michael's keeps sending me $5 coupons that could probably get a roll or two. I'm thinking I could tie some to my bag ala Jane Birkin or around unbuttoned shirt sleeve cuffs to emphasize the dramatic splaying I keep seeing.
• Sculptural styling to achieve voluminous sleeves look - I got a couple cropped hoodies that can achieve that black/yellow jacket's silhouette if I just roll and push up the sleeves
• Tight hoods - Idk how to not look like a stoner or turtle doing this but the easiest way I can see this working is pulling on my hoodie drawstrings
• Organic/Asymmetric necklaces - Two pairs of pliers and some thrift store necklaces can do wonders for getting necklaces at the currently fashionable length. I wanna try to DIY some of the ones that look like silver dripping down your neck

Do you have any plans to refashion or wear your current pieces differently for some of the newer trends?
