As we all know, style is personal, and the most important thing is to wear what makes you feel great. But let's be real - there are those items in our closet that just don't feel right anymore, whether because of changing trends, evolving personal taste, or just plain overuse.
So, I’m curious: what will you not be reaching for this fall? What will be neglected, tossed in the donation bin, or listed on Marketplace? Is there a trend you’re over, or maybe a particular item that you just don’t see yourself wearing again anytime soon?
For me, it’s my jeans that are a bit too cropped. I’m tired of having cold ankles in the fall and winter. I’ll put them into storage for another day.
What about you? Looking forward to hearing what’s “out” for you this fall!
I’ve been thinking recently about why I love fashion so much. I think for me it’s the fact that it’s a way for people to express themselves and show who they are/want to be. It’s way more than just clothes and it really interests me why people wear what they wear (the psychology of fashion, why people in certain roles wear certain things, the history or fashion and fashion in different cultures etc). Also that it’s something you can use as a creative outlet, I can spend hours putting on different outfits or creating online style boards.
What is it for you?
What's in for fall fashion 2024?
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.

I'm in love with the design and reputation of Louboutins!!
I also love Jimmy Choo, Amina Muaddi, GIANVITO ROSSI, Aquazzura, Prada, dolce and Gabbana and YSL!
I would love to hear about yours!
Continuing the trend of favorites!
I basically live in Athleta leggings and maintain they are the best leggings ever but recently discovered linen pants and it’s a nice switch up from leggings and jeans! Still and forever looking for a holy grail jean

Hi All! I’m a 38 year old female who has never really been interested in fashion trends. Still, my style seems to be stuck in the 2011-2014 era. Interestingly to me, I’m now becoming more interested in styling and trends. I’m determined to build a more “current” wardrobe and lately have trying to learn about style and fashion as much as I can. One fashion stylist I’ve been watching on YT recommended that 80-85% of our clothes should be made up of Basics and the rest could be trends. Here are some questions I have:
What are the differences among Micro trends, Macro trends, Basics, and Classic/Timeless pieces?
Do Classic/Timeless pieces fit into the Basics category?
Are straighter/wider leg jeans an example of a Macro trend or the Classic/Timeless category?
I want to be conscious of my consumerism. That means I probably won’t be tapping into micro trends. Do you have any formula I could use for putting my outfits together? E.g., 85% Basic/Classic/Timeless pieces and 15% Macro trend pieces. I really think a formula would make my life so much easier so I’m very curious to know your guys’ thoughts.
I don’t thinking any clothing item is truly timeless because it seems as though things that come back into fashion are a little different compared to their previous version. Am I right on this?
Approximately how long should I expect a quality, NON micro trend piece to last me before it goes out of fashion?
Thank you so much for reading my many questions!

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.

Where do you buy outfits for medium-fancy occasions? I can dress for work, or black tie, but I cannot dress myself for holidays, weekends, or gatherings to save my life. I’m in my early 30s which already is a hard age to shop for IMO.
Body hair in women has increasingly shifted from "we better never see it!" to a lot more acceptance. And some people do an amazing job integrating it into looks. In my case, I've slowly started to play around with it sometimes, and there have been some outfits were I feel like body hair has really changed a look, for instance, a bright pink bralette with unshaved armpits. In general, I'm enjoying very girly items with body hair as a disruptive component.
So, if there are any parts of your body you are (at least sometimes) not shaving, how are you integrating them into your look? Unshaved legs? Armpits? Or the ultimate tabu, bikini?
I've not been shopping in a bit and have a bit of personal money saved up and am eager to try something new based on what I've read here. I'm eyeballing Cos for some work wear, or thinking of pulling the trigger on something by Alice & Olivia on TRR. I don't actually buy very new-to-me brands often (save at the the thrift store, where most 'new' to me things are vintage) so I want to hear all about your experiences!
H/t to this substack (no affiliation) for the question idea!
