I have a suit coat that I know I need to take to the tailor to shorten the sleeves and I think other alterations. The reason I say I think is because I feel like the body is a bit too long, but I don’t know if I want one inch or 3 inches shorter. I may also want it brought in a bit at the waist, but not sure how much.

I have zero ability to visualize so can’t tell what I want without it being already pinned and I can’t expect them to do a million different pinning combinations. Honestly, I would love if there was a stylist option that was “tell the tailor how to alter these clothes to be flattering”

So for things more complex than “please hem these pants to hit x point”, how do you know exactly what adjustments to make?

If you ever fly first class or business class, do you dress differently?

I had a baby back in October, and as expected, my body is quite different to the way it was this time last year or this summer. I like a baggier fit, so a lot of stuff that I wore before getting pregnant also fit me during, and still does now, but a chunk of my wardrobe is unwearable. Maybe about 15%

What do you do with those clothes? Sell/donate and re-buy later? Or hold onto them?

This question goes for any clothing you can't wear- maternity clothes now you're no longer pregnant, do you keep in case you decide to have another child? Winter gear if you move to sunnier climes- keep for trips or get rid?

I'm interested in hearing different approaches to this, especially as I live in a flat in London so have limited space. We will probably move to Japan next year which means even less space, but will also mean it's harder for me to get larger/maternity sizes if I do get rid and then get pregnant again.

I've been thinking about my clothes and impact on the environment, and we can't keep consuming the way we have been the last 20 years, but I don't think that means we have to abandon fashion altogether. I'm sure most people on here have seen the statistic that the average piece of clothing in the US and Canada only gets worn about 7 times before being discarded. On the other extreme (but much rarer) you have people who only buy thrifted clothes once every ten years and don't care about fashion.

I quit fast fashion, including Zara and H&M, about three years ago, and I was thinking about what more realistic action might look like for a person with an urban job that requires them to be put together, besides give up new clothes entirely. What can a person do who still wants to buy new clothes but wants to do so more responsibly. The thing I came up with was the commitment to wear everything I buy at least 100 times. I know some people have done a "30 wears" challenge, but that just doesn't seem like enough to me. What about when you buy something, you have to have an idea that it will be possible to wear it at least 100 times before it goes out of style, wears out, you get sick of it, etc. In most instances this will mean it has to be in your wardrobe for at least a few years and get pretty regular wear.

I'm certainly not the first person to come up with this, but I was thinking about how it would change one's dressing and shopping habits. This Swedish data guy tracked all his clothing purchases and wears and realized that he vastly overestimated how much he was actually wearing most of his clothes. We so often think that we need more than we do. I got a new sweater recently, and after it was a success after a few wears, I immediately started thinking along the lines of "hey I should really get at least one more of these," because if one is good, two or three is better, right? But then I started thinking about the 100 wears idea, and realized it would be a lot harder to wear that sweater 100 times if there were one or two more of them, even in different colors. I'm not saying it's always a bad idea to have multiples of something, but questioning the assumption seemed important. If I wear it twice a week for half the year, that's still just about 50 wears. I might realistically wear it 25 times the second year, and maybe even less frequently the third year.

It's something I've decided to start tracking, and to consider when I make my purchases. Since I quite fast fashion, I buy fewer, better clothes, and I've never been happier with my wardrobe. But I realized recently that I also need to get rid of that fast fashion mindset that more is always better.

Anyone else interested in the 100 wears idea?

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.

I’ve gotten in the habit of handwashing my cashmere sweaters and depilling them with a comb. Just turn on a cozy mystery series and kinda go into a trance combing each sweater….feels oddly therapeutic/relaxing. Of course, it also keeps my knitwear in great shape and makes me appreciate what I have more.

In the past, a lot of my interaction with my wardrobe is centered around acquiring/shopping. But this is a way to engage and appreciate the pieces I’ve curated without buying more.

Which made me wonder: do you have any regular wardrobe rituals that you enjoy?

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 actually have a pretty good eye for whats fashionable but it takes me SOOO LONG that i often opt for throwing on something that matches and looks good. I wanna use my unique pieces and layer more than just on special occasions but I just take too long to find what “feels right” and looks how I in-visioned it. Even if I do the night before, the process becomes stressful and no longer fun after the 5th outfit change. By 6/7th I’m ready to give up n not go or reach for my go-tos.

Now reading it back maybe I’m just a perfectionist/overthinker and thats why but I would still love some advice😭

With all of the conversation around buy-it-for-life, “investing” in quality pieces, “timeless” style and so on, I’m wondering: are you still using items you considered to be investment pieces 10 or more years ago?

Or, on the flip side, do you have specific pieces you thought were timeless, but now realize look dated, weren’t as high quality as you thought, or otherwise haven’t stood the test of time?

Let’s share our winners and flops!

When dressing for certain events, and people say to wear “nice jeans”, what are nice jeans in that instance? Is it about the wash, the fit? Is there a specific fit that qualifies as “nice” over others? Aside from the obvious- nothing baggy, ripped, stained, etc. is it just subjective or is there something specific?

Pantone has announced their color of the year for 2025: Mocha Mousse.

If you don't wear it already, do you see this color making it into your wardrobe? What are your thoughts on this color?

Some of mine intially: this choice was honestly unexpected for me. Cool-toned neutrals, nude tones, naked dresses etc, and deep chocolate brown have been "in" for so many recent seasons that I don't see yet another similar color becoming a notable statement in fashion.

That said I think it's a great color especially in satin fabrics with some sheen to them.

Some commentary is calling it "earthy" and "peaceful" and while it is satisfying, I think it's quite glamorous and indulgent--it's silky, not dusty; milky, not muted--and can't help but wonder if the choice is tapping into all the chatter about "quiet luxury."

I went shopping for pyjamas today and I was surprised by the variation in sizing and quality. I also have a couple of quirky sleeping requirements.

So I was wondering what everyone’s criteria is when looking for sleepwear? What are some of your deal breakers?

Anything about pyjamas that annoys you and you can’t find?

For me, I find that long pants ride up during sleep and annoys me. My teenage daughter now is feeling self conscious about walking around the house with no bra on when wearing white tops or super thin fabric.

I have friends who size G breasts and finding hard to find pyjamas she can lounge in and yet supports her without a bra.

What are your gripes?

How many more years of the wide leg jeans trend can we look forward to? Now that I'm used to them, I love me some wide leg trousers with a tight, tucked in t or bodysuit. But I don't trust the fashion industry. I swear to god I'll lose my mind if by next fall skinny jeans are back and wide leg jeans are out.
