I don't exactly have anything against jeans, but I find them a little limiting outfit-wise. I'm in a place which has a very short winter season and it never really gets very cold, so you tend to not find much more than typical fast fashion fare for winter (and even then it is very limited!), so you just...well, wear jeans.

I was wondering what you lovely people here wear for daily out and about bottoms, and how are you styling them for autumn and winter? Would love to see what's in for everyone in the upcoming seasons.

Do you have some things that you absolutely love? Something that you saved up for, has a special meaning behind it, that’s so comfortable you could wear it every day or something that just looks so good on you?

I always love hearing about people’s favorite pieces and stories behind their closet

A frequent advice given when trying to create or refine your personal style is to create a mood/vision board where you keep colors, textures, silhouettes and even whole outfits you like and then try to identify recurring patters or common threads... this all sounds great and you might even be able to come up with an outfit from your currently existing clothes yet when you put it on... its just... not it?

How do you explain feeling underwhelmed or even hating an outfit you should theoretically love?

How do you go about fixing it or is just that the style doesn't really "suit" you?

How do you bridge the gap between expectation and the limitations of reality?

I've been thinking about some of my favorite clothes and accessories. I realized I usually love them so much because once I started wearing them, other elements of my wardrobe started falling into place. Clothes I didn't know how to wear suddenly made sense, it became much easier to put together outfits, and I knew what I wanted to buy next to create the look I'd been going for. Or if I hadn't known the look I was going for, suddenly I did!

What items of yours made your style come together, whether it was completing what you were already working on or it turned on a light bulb and now you knew what you wanted?

I am a firm blazer/pants or jeans uniform girl but trying to mix it up. What dresses are we wearing that are work appropriate without being overly corporate and suit-like?

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.

EDITING TO ADD: Thanks so much for the recs below for knee-high boots! Any tips for booties?

Most ankle boots give my ankles muffin top—and that's if I can even get them zipped up or pulled on in the first place. Booties never come in "wide-calf." The "wide-calf" knee-highs that don't have a circumference of at least 16" will not zip up, or if they do, cut off my blood circulation.

The only ones I can find that fit are faux leather or poorly constructed. The best I have found is Madewell's wide-calf knee-highs, but even after just one season, the leather is all saggy and wromply around my already quite fat ankles.

I know many of us would pay up to $1,500 for the right pair of solid classic well-constructed leather boots, but everything seems to cap out around $200. And those boots just never last (as evidenced by my rotting broken pile from the past 10 years). Stuart Weitzman is the closest I can find online in this price range, but their "wide-calf" knee-highs are a laughable 14" circumference.

I would like to buy boots from a major high-quality label that are designed with my body type in mind. I am tired of buying fast-fashion plasticky throwaways with ridiculous names like The Go Anywhere Jumbo Curvy Girl Comfort Bootzies. Please tell me I'm not alone here.

I fly pretty frequently and have recently become really into the idea of wearing a matching set. I love how put together they look even when they're just sweats.

I always stress over what to wear in flight and since I have a trip coming up, I've been thinking about buying finally pulling the trigger. I've had the Spanx Air Essentials wide leg pants and half zip sweatshirt in my cart for 2 weeks, but for some reason keep looking to see what else is out there. I like the prices at Old Navy but not the colors. I've also been debating some separates from Lululemon in the same color, such as scuba pants or flared pants with a matching top and adding a contrasting sweater or jacket.

What sets are we wearing for travel these days?

I am really happy with a lot of things about the style niche I’ve been carving out for myself over the last couple of years — I’ve nailed down a personal color palette, some unique silhouettes that work for me, and the beginnings of outfit formulas. My major style weakness is that I really struggle with layering/third pieces, and I think this is a common issue!

Some of this is my individual shape and pickiness (I’m not flattered by traditional collars and lapels and they also suck for sensory reasons), some of it’s that “business casual” is not a phrase that applies to any aspect of my life so blazers feel weird to me, but I think a lot of it is just lack of confidence, real-world references, and understanding of how and why people use third pieces. I’ve always just been a take-off-your-jacket-when-you-get-there person! But like…I’m almost 30, I moved to a place where I’m chilly on the reg, and I want to do better lol. Can y’all show me the third pieces you have in regular rotation, what you like to wear them with, and how you incorporate them into your outfit formulas more generally? Please post outfit pics or retail stock photos if you have them!

Mine is a black, zipped hoodie - not very fashionable, but warm and easy to put on top of chunky jumpers plus keeps me dry in the rain.

I’ve noticed a lot of reference photos are just from pop culture references, and real people don’t actually seem to be wearing it. I have a theory that it’s been strategically pushed out for optimization in search engines… but I don’t think it’s an actual (organic) fashion trend, if that makes sense. thoughts?
