I don't want to compromise on comfort and Jeans are sadly NEVER comfortable for me.

So I started wearing mostly Leggings. The problem is finding one that is durable, has a thicker fabric, ideally pockets and is not made of plastic fibers (no polyester, acrylic etc.) and also doesn't have that overly "techy"/sporty look. Doesn't have to be leggings. Simply tight comfortable pants, that you can move in, squat in etc.
For environmental reasons I don't want to wear plastic fibers. Some elasthane is fine, as it's almost impossible to get a durable stretchy and comfy fabric without it.

I've been looking for YEARS at this point and I still haven't found the right pants.

Has anyone any suggestions where I can find comfy tight pants with the above mentioned characteristics? I am very thankful for any suggestions! <3

I’m very busty so I’d love to find a wool coat that is more cinched at the waist preferably with a belt. High quality but not too overpriced (no more than $200-300) nice, simple, and elegant.

I’ve looked at Quince, Aritzia, Banana Republic pieces that are within my budget but reading the reviews makes me hesitant 😬

TIA!

Hi! I am a first time mom who has never really had a style and I’m hoping that a CW will help with that.

I live in FL where it’s generally warm, have a 1 year old son, and right now just stay in my pjs or in leggings.

Please help! 😂

I honestly only like to wear blue jeans and T-shirt’s. I am in my 50’s. And do nothave to dress up for work as I’m the only one there. Most of my tshirts have graphic designs. Are these more for younger people? Are solid colors better I don’t want to look like I’m dressing young, trying to hang onto my younger days. Any ideas what would still look casual but not messy. I’m a mix between boho and grown up hippie! lol

Did you pick a certain number of neutrals/accents? Do you give yourself permission to pick something which isn’t part of your colour scheme? Thanks!

I'm looking for a wedding guest dress- I have a few in the next year and I sized out of my pervious go to option. Does anyone have a brand they would recommend for quality, longevity, etc? I'm thinking a midi length wrap dress (with enough coverage that I don't feel exposed when I sit down), a front button fit and flare, or a simple sleeveless fit and flare. Any suggestions?

hey guys, need some advice!!

i’ve been trying to build my wardrobe (broke college student here) and i’ve been seeing a bunch of instagram ads for cute and cheap-ish brands but I’m a bit wary of if im gonna get scammed if i order so i haven’t yet. mostly scared of clothing quality.

how do you guys tell if a brand is legit?? i don’t trust the insta comments because most are bots :((( i’ve used reddit ofc but not sure if anything else helps. thanks! <3

So started using digital app indyx as I don't want to spend money on more clothes but anyone used this app for a while is it good

1. have you used a stylist and is it worth the money

2 is there any other app you would recommend for stylist clothes you own .I prefer to stay away from AI style app they are a bit crazy in what they recommend

Hello! I have been trying to establish a capsule wardrobe but I feel like my sense of style or things that I like are all over the place within the smart casual realm. One added complication is I live in Phoenix, AZ and I hate wearing jeans/any form of pants if it's over 100 degrees. In Phoenix last year we had 113 consecutive days over 100 degrees -__- Do you all know of any pre-existing capsule wardrobes or any female social media influencers (not sure if I'm allowed to ask that) who fit that description? I just feel like I need a little inspiration and so many capsule wardrobes I see look like they are made by people who live in more hospitable climates.

Just something I've noticed - when I search for capsule wardrobes, they give you 5 sets of outfits. There are 7 days in a week! I know that the weekend is typically more casual, but they're prescribing a "10 piece wardrobe" and I actually need 14.

Just interesting!

Do you have just 1?

2? Spring/summer + Fall/winter

Multiple capsule wardrobes that each encapsulate a different style/aesthetic/event? Like personal life/work, or casual/goth/classy.

This is the first company I’ve worked for that requires on-site work and has a professional dress code. I’m an executive level manager, and I need to look refined. It’s in a more conservative location, so I need to wear long sleeves due to tattoos.

I look at Pinterest for ideas and just get overwhelmed. Where do I even begin on building a capsule wardrobe to get me through 5 days of work each week?

i'm a 20M college student and i don't have a lot of clothes (i'm broke) and all of them don't combine very well. i'd like to know what capsule you would recommend for a college student, only casual or semi-casual outfits.

Okay y'all, it's time. I've been the only mod for the entirety of our subreddit's history, I have loved watching us grow and I love our amazing community. But as we are approaching 200,000 members, I think it's time we add more mods.

So this is a call out for anyone who wants to volunteer, I'm looking to add two or three mods to the roster, so feel free to send a modmail to let me know if you would like to volunteer. Let me know if you have any modding experience, or if you are adept at setting up the auto mod functions, because I am completely out of my depth with that part of the mod system and that's a big hurdle I'd like to tackle this year to combat bots and spam.

Thank you again for this stellar community, we have done a great job being self-sufficient and giving plenty of amazing advice without compromising community standards.

I look forward to adding some mods to our community and I hope y'all welcome them during the transition of integrating them in!

And how do you know what jeans style is your fit?

I have 2 pairs of jeans. One 10-year old pair of skinny jeans from Lucky Brand and a 4-year old pair of the original 90s cheeky jeans from everlane. I do realize that the everlane ankle cut jeans shorten me (as probably most modern styles will) and Id like to lengthen my lool as much as possible. Im 5'8 and 140ish pounds, longish torso.

In late March/early April I will be having weight loss surgery and will end up needing to replace my entire wardrobe in the following 6-8 months.

I plan to do a lot (A LOT) of shopping at thrift stores and resale shops to offset the cost of replacing every clothing item I own, but that's a crap shoot. What stores (both brick and mortar and online) do you recommend for building a lower cost capsule wardrobe? This will be my first opportunity to truly build a capsule wardrobe and I'm excited by the possibilities.

I'm looking for stores in Northern VA or online.

I’m hoping to find a good pair of slip ons that are supportive for my hip and knee issue while I work around the house. Preferably something in black since that would match my closet the best.

Working on my stay at home mom capsule. I prefer a more alt leaning look so it’s been hard to find decent inspo.

I have recently decided that I am tired of digging through clothes when getting dressed and would really like to start on a capsule wardrobe. My biggest issue is a do have an infant and my job is kind of a mixed bag on what I need to wear on a given day. My job requires business casual in the office, business professional for certain meetings an conferences, and I also have more manual labor aspects such as farm visits and messy activities with children. I don’t really know where to start with all of this and I would love some tips/hints on how to get started.

A lot of the examples I see skew black/grey/white which makes perfect sense. But I'm looking to go warmer for my complexion and personal taste.

I know having staples like a white tee and black pants make sense, but I'm afraid of mixing in warm toned browns and carmels. I think I would end up with almost 2 wardrobes, a black one and a brown one (not a navy fan lol). I want to be minimalist / mindfull of my purchases.

I also want a few pops of color like pale pink/olive/ mayyyybeeeee baby blue.

Is this too much?

I think I accidentally started working on a capsule wardrobe this weekend, so I was so excited when I found this sub! I love the idea of having a place to reference while I refine my closet.

One of my big resolutions for the new year was to declutter my room. Especially my closet since I had a literal mountain of clothes. The majority of which I didn't wear and was stressed out by having. So, I started by getting rid of everything that doesn't fit anymore. Then I realized I had two categories of clothes. Clothes that I like the look of, but don't wear and clothes that I wear, but don't like the look of. And I want my clothes to be things that I like to wear.

So I spent two days going through everything to figure out what I actually like and dislike. I was able to isolate fabric types, cuts and fits that I don't actually enjoy. I went thrifting and found a couple of items that are a perfect examples of what does work for me. I color coordinated and reorganized my closet on Saturday.

I went from having an overflowing, overstimulating mess to a tidy, intentional collection. And I'm looking forward to refining it as I go along.

How did y'all get into this? What has your journey been like? What advice would you give to maintain the good energy?

How does everyone keep there clothes organized? Meaning there work clothes separate from leizure/work out clothes. I have a closet and a dresser. My dresser is undies, bras, socks, and pajamas. And then I hang all my clothes in my closet but I want to figure out a way to keep work clothes separate from home/workout clothes. Suggestions?

Just wanted to put some encouragement out there for anyone feeling overwhelmed or frustrated by the capsule process.

It takes time to figure out your palette, silhouettes, style-vibe, and preferred fabrics. Building a capsule and curating your closet is gonna cost, whether it's time or money, but for most people, a combination of the two. It's okay to experiment. It's okay to not buy the perfect item for $2 secondhand or on clearance right at the beginning (although, I hope you can).

Your capsule may change in different seasons of your life (and maybe by the literal seasons). Your capsule can be all luxury designer pieces or all from a discount store. The point is to create something that makes you feel happy and put-together and realistically works for you and your lifestyle.

Best wishes to everyone and thanks for being a helpful and supportive community!

Any recommendations on brown leather lace up boots? Looking for a Timberland/work boot type feel. The Thursday Captain looks nice on the website.
