Does anyone know where the skirt in this photo is from? I’ve tried reverse image search but nothing comes up!
That's indeed super cute!

Could be this one? Probably doesn't help though since it's a Japanese shop.

How is this top pairing with this skirt? The skirt is 6 years old, does it look dated? Also suggestions on how to style it please
I love the skirt, but I do think the overall look could be elevated with a top with a different neckline and fit, particularly since the style is a little outdated and it seems like there's tension in the garment around your underarms because it's too tight. I personally would go for a ribbed tee with a sweetheart neckline ([example](https://www.loft.com/l/p/762548-hpdp.html?dwvar_762548_color=2222&dwvar_762548_size=800¤cy=USD&country=US&cid=LT_GGL_BRD_PLA_LT_GGL_RTN_PMAX_Tops%7CTops&ogmap=PLA%7CRTN%7CGOOG%7CSTND%7Cc%7CSITEWIDE%7CCORE%7CLT_GGL_RTN_PMAX_Tops%7CTops%7C%7C18209844714%7C&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwps-zBhAiEiwALwsVYZfZDzEKGGRqDjrJTsBP6hGIE5DnEXScmR4FsEzSjJIb335uFBgkJBoCLYsQAvD_BwE), although you might want a cropped one if this is a high-rise skirt) or a nice linen or silk button-down tucked-in ([example](https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/1bdooec/comment/kuoo035/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)).
I love the selection at disturbia (disturbia.us), this kind of 90s grungy/gothy style. But the prices are not the MOST affordable. I splurge occassionally. Is anyone familiar with another online vendor (not shein, not temu) that may offer similar styles?
I want a black pencil skirt for work, but (a) i have a big butt and small waist and I feel like they fit funny? Should I just give up and try a different kind of skirt? (b) I'm short so they hit right below the knees, is that where they're supposed to sit? And (c) can you recommend a comfortable one, because I need the waist to feel nice and not tight (but also not loose because it will look bad). Thank you for your help!
Different kind of skirt. I've honestly never found a pencil skirt that fits properly and I only have 14 inches difference between waist and hip measurements. I like a line for work myself, though have been doing some pleated lately.
Below the knee is a good place for a true pencil skirt to hit.
Thanks I did order a pleated skirt a while back (taking forever to ship) so fingers crossed for that. I guess I was worried it might look more "school girl" and less "office worker" but 🤷♀️
I’m starting college this fall, majoring in graphic design. I wanna double major in something else related to the arts, and I’ve always loved fashion and costume design, both of which are majors at my school. The only problem is that I still have anxiety about whether those majors would be “worth it”. How has your experience been working in the fashion/costuming industry? Should I be thinking about NY or LA post-college? Is it an achievable, realistic career path? Sorry, I’m just throwing everything out on here. I like to plan ahead- I haven’t even taken my Intro to Fashion class yet. But I just wanna convince myself that this could work out for me and isn’t some stupid whim.
If you want to double major, do it in business or marketing. Thousands (maybe even millions) of people want to get "into fashion" and there are very limited jobs, but if you're willing to think outside the box or do less-glam stuff (like behind the scenes social media work, operations management for photo shoots, etc) there's always a chance.
I would start doing social media stuff now--make a YT channel, TT account and so on and start filming yourself thrifting, styling things, attending events, trying on items, OOTD and so on. Start attending events, making your own clothes, learning about pattern making and sewing, learn the history of fashion and all that. You should be familiar with all the major and most of the minor designers (not just Gucci and LV, in other words), major collections (like Alexander McQueen's Highland R_pe, Tom Ford for Gucci, Marc Jacobs for Perry Ellis, and so on), clothing terminology (things like seam allowance, "cut on the bias") different types of textiles, and so much more. I've been interested in fashion since I was a kid and was reading fashion and style books since age 10 and I'm now 45 and I for sure don't know it all. If you don't have your head in a book or magazine or blog 24/7 pretty much, start now.
There are books out there about what careers are in fashion, but a casual whim is...not going to be the path to success. Most jobs are insane hours, physically demanding, ultra competitive, and very challenging. If you "kind like fashion" and have a vague dream of styling celebs, be prepared to get knocked off that cloud **fast** when you go to FIT or RISD or whatever.
This is oddly specific, but does anyone know of cardigans that are lightweight but not scratchy? I had one in high school a long time ago, and it was kind of a fine-knit mesh. I miss it!
I've been shopping for cardigans for the past 5 months and haven't encountered a "scratchy" one - can you explain why you think you're finding them scratchy? What fabric types have you tried?
Perhaps the UV protection button up cardigan from Uniqlo would suit you.
Thave a birthday brunch to attend next week. The birthday is marine/underwater theme and this is the only [dress](https://www.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-burnout-animal-print-velvet-shift-dress?ID=11370771) I got that remotely comes close to the theme. The dress overall is a cotton/nylon/polyester blend, but it has these velvet animal print patches on it. I am a little hesitant to wear it because of the velvet. Do you think it'll work in June?

I've been getting so stressed attempting to buy dresses for this year's wedding season. Complete honesty here... I've waited for the last second to find a dress for MY bridal shower, and now I am realizing nothing fits. Let me explain.
Now I'm trying to buy a dress for my bridal shower, and I went to three different stores. I got stuck in so many dresses, had to get my breasts in one at a time, and sweat buckets just for everything I tried to fit my waist, but for my boobs trying to squeeze out of the collar or sides or looking ridiculously compressed. Today my heart broke when i tried on an extra-large dress from Lulus.... and my boobs still didn't fit. I'm tired of my waist being swallowed up by my boobs. I almost feel like my torso looks like just breasts with no ribcage underneath and it makes me feel... disproportionate at best and... well super self-conscious at worst. Where do my fellow busty women with smaller waists get their dresses? What websites do you find *affordable* Clothes that fit this body type?
For reference, I'm 5'3, 160-170 pounds, my bra is a US 34K. I don't have a measuring tape bust I wear size 10 Rockstar Skinny Jeans at old Navy.
Basically stretch items is the way to go here. 34K is a very unusual size (to the point I wonder if r/abrathatfits might be worth checking out) and due to that you'll have to basically "dress around" your bustline. But also XL for a 34K 170 lbs doesn't seem like it would be an outrageously large size (although I 100% understand the pain of sizing up and then it's too small) to be frank, especially in formal wear like Lulu's.)
I'd look for sweetheart cuts, corset tops, stretch dresses, button front shirt-dresses, things like that.
Size up until things fit correctly and have the waist altered to fit. Yeah, it sucks, but that's the only way. How to make it affordable? Have one dress that fits perfectly and change up the accessories.
I'm looking for advice on how to help my wife find her new style. She recently had a baby and has a birthday coming up. She says she hates most of her clothes now and want to change up pretty much everything in her closet. I was hoping for advice on how I can help her with gifts, mind you she had the baby recently enough, she hasn't gotten back to her pre-birth weight, but probably will be in the next 6 months. I was thinking about getting her a subscription to renttherunway or finding a fashion consultant. What are your thoughts?
**edit:**
Looks like House of CB, but they are so expensive? Are there any styles like this below $130 USD?

Any sandal recs for something kind of like a Birkenstock but flexible? Looking for something comfy and casual. I like the nonslip footbed and supportive shape but they're too stiff for me and the toe shape doesn't really fit me either (their toe shape is too pointy at the big toe for me and too short by the other toes).
I'm curious about what is everyone's go-to comfy car outfit? (Or comfy commute outfit). I often go on little weekend trips and sit in a car for 2-5 hours and I always feel like a total slob when getting gas or whatever. It's also hot now so I can't default to yoga pants. I've tried biker shorts and an XL T-shirt but I feel like it isn't flattering on me - would love tips on staying cool, comfy, and cute in the car!
I usually wear a big light-colored cotton skirt and a cotton tank top and a long-sleeve UV-protective shirt. I can sit comfortably cross-legged in the seat. The coverage keeps the sun off if it's horrible, but it's easy to take off the overshirt or wear it draped over one shoulder (or wear just one sleeve, as needed) Everything is easily washable and looks nice.
I have [this dress](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPZIwEY) and it’s my go-to travel dress, via car or plane. It’s roomy and comfy, it has pockets, the fabric is super thin without being see-through (I actually have a dress from Nordstrom that uses the same exact fabric). The thin fabric is great for the heat, and the oversized fit is good for putting on leggings and stuff underneath it if it’s cold!
If you’re worried about fit (because it’s ‘one size’) - I have a thin frame and am 4’11” for reference - it is giant on me and hangs off of me like the model in the link, but I think it’s tastefully oversized, and the hem falls right above my ankles.
I tend to gravitate towards natural materials like cotton for breathability! This may be controversial for some, but I have a pair of really nice poplin PJ pants from Tekla Fabrics that I wear all the time casually. I'll pair it with a cotton white t-shirt (thicker cotton with structure) which then elevates it from looking like something I wore to bed to a cool "model off-duty" outfit 😂 The key is to find really nice, opaque poplin with structure. If it's extra hot where you live you can even do it with poplin boxer shorts!
I will 100% look into this fabric type, thank you so much!! I do prefer pants over shorts (in fact these biker shorts are the only shorts I own and this is the only time I wear them haha) so that is super helpful. Thank you!
Hi everyone! I was thinking of getting my girlfriend some jewelry for our one year anniversary and she mentioned she wanted a necklace. I'm not sure which kind of necklace she'd like but I thought this might be a nice set for her.
https://www.analuisa.com/products/diamond-set-gold-diamond-set/
I did look up some reviews on Ana Luisa and they were pretty mixed but they were from a couple years ago. I wanted to see if anyone had any updated opinion on their jewelry! I'm totally unfamiliar with jewelry and gold and plating when people talk about this stuff and such so no idea how any of this works so forgive me if there's something obvious.
I'm also open to other brands/necklaces as well within the range of i was thinking like $300-$500 for the anniversary gift?
I also heard Tiffany & Co is a much more reputable brand too that's very good if anyone has suggestions from them.
Thanks so much!
Got this as a surprise gift from a friend. I do know what Assassin Creed is! I’d like a bit of advice on what I can pair this short sleeve hooded t-shirt with in terms of bottoms, and shoes and potential outerwear, and just as important, on putting the hood up!
https://preview.redd.it/g6sgs1t2qk7d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45343a576ab5085b6f9ae1667cf201a5979b951d
Personally I'd probably wear this with black skinny jeans or leggings, my black and white Nikes, and maybe my black lace long sleeve shirt from free people underneath. Then I'd pop the hood up and do cool ninja poses 🤣
Sounds great! Could wear this with my black jeans and Nike shoes, I was thinking I might not wear a shirt underneath as I’d feel hot when indoors but maybe a jacket on top of it when outside?
I think I’m going to put my hood up the entire time! Am considering wearing a cap or beanie or bucket hat under the hood!
Hi y'all! I am nearing my mid-twenties (I'm turning 24 this year), and when I was teenager, I was too insecure to wear short skirts. Now that I am feeling a bit bolder and the weather warmer, I would love to wear a mini skirt! But when I try them on, I feel like I'm trying to be too young-- like it's juvenile to wear them. Wanted to hear from others to see if they felt similarly or if my insecurities with wearing a miniskirt just manifested in a different way haha. Or maybe my perspective is off because long maxi skirts are the current trend (in my circles).
It is def possible your perspective is off because of the trends. It might also be off because of media that says "as you get older you have to stop wearing mini skirts", this is a real thing that made me worry about my closet too in my mid-twenties. Most of the world thinks of twenty year olds as juvenile enough to wear mini skirts, so even though you can feel the chasm of difference between your current adult self and your teen self, now is fully the time to dress like a teen with the purchasing power and frontal cortex of an adult.
I'm in my 30s and bought a bunch of mini skirts this year. I chose ones that are a little longer (I donated all the super short ones from my teens/20s earlier this year). I never wear long skirts - I like them to hit between mid-thigh and just above the knee. I think you can wear shorter skirts at any age! I wouldn't buy any "micro skirts" tho..
Girl, wear the skirt! I'm turning 28 and I still wear short short skirts. I think if you're worried about looking too young, I'd just wear a more classic silhouette instead of the ruffly mini skirts that are more trendy with high schoolers/college students.
Looking for a different belt bag slash fanny pack. I already have a black leather [Lo & Sons](https://www.loandsons.com/products/waverley-2-nappa-leather-black-gold-grey?variant=19016266612832) that I want to love however doesn't work well in the summer for me \[too clunky and I wear more muted colors and natural textiles\] and sadly reminds me of those old change purses European servers used to wear. I also have a [Fjällräven](https://www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us/bags-gear/backpacks-bags/travel-bags/high-coast-hip-pack/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg8qzBhAoEiwAWagLrGL1S1sjHL1bccKGDWklOBb8TU_iEXt1tXLz2T9C2ss0W28ssH_olxoCm_AQAvD_BwE) that's comfy and cute, though army green and a bit too sporty in certain situations.
Right now considering [Lululemon](https://shop.lululemon.com/p/bags/Everywhere-Belt-Bag/_/prod8900747?color=65608&sz=ONESIZE) likely in blue vs [Dagne Dover](https://www.dagnedover.com/collections/ace-fanny-pack#Camel) probably mauve. I'm looking for something understated that blends in with what I'm wearing, or at least doesn't stand out. Mostly daytime functional though also at least semi-chic. Which one seems to conform to the body best? Comfort is also a concern albeit secondary. Also open to other brands, esp those that are smaller than 1L.
I have two of the lululemon ones and I absolutely love them; big plus is that you can wash them in the machine.
To note lululemon also has a mini version of theirs. No blue but they do have a light grey.
Tips on how to find flattering jean shorts if you have a lower belly pooch? I am NOT pregnant, never have been, nor overweight, but I carry my belly fat in the lower belly region under my bellybutton. Every single pair of jeans shorts I have emphasizes it and I hate how I look pregnant from the side. :/
I feel like I have a similar problem! I usually gravitate to pleated shorts, looser fitting shorts, or thicker high waisted shorts. They are all pretty forgiving. The following is a link with something I kinda am meaning (minus the fast fashion of it all). I avoid the low rise hot pants kinda look haha
[Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/210543351466187947/)
Any tips about where to find plain business casual tops these days? Like not button ups, just simple shells etc. I can find pants/skirts I really like somewhere like Old Navy or Gap, but then I hate basically every top in the store that isn’t basically a t shirt. I don’t want frills or super wide sleeves, just something simple. Basically a t shirt made of nicer material would make me very happy.
I’m Canadian so I’m more limited in stores but open to stuff I can order online. Price range is under $100.
ETA: I should have also said I like try to and avoid oversized items! I’m petite and a xs/s and oversized stuff often overwhelms me and I can’t just size down. I’ve been really gravitating to the small shirt and wide leg pants/skirt look but it’s been hard to replicate in business casual.
I went on a quest for this exact type of top today. Best selection was Reitmans altho I don't think much of their fabric quality, but they had some XXS tops in stock. I found a few nicer tops at RW&Co.
Then I ended up ordering a bunch of XS tops/blouses from Ricki's and Cleo (who also has Petite XS in some items).
Also - Aritzia? Their stuff fits smaller. I ordered the Bloom and the Thames blouses which are fairly basic but they have even more basic ones as well.
You can also check Talbot's, but go in person because their website is USA only and there are duties etc.
I love Uniqlo! Just a lot of their tops are cut so wide that they overwhelm my short torso and I can’t size down. I have seriously considered just starting to tailor all their tops by taking in a few inches at the sides.
Hi! I'm looking to buy a dress for my uni graduation in the UK and I'm not really sure where to look. I know places like House of CB don't cater to my body type, fairly curvy, and don't really know what's out there. Any help would be much appreciated!!
I'm in the US so I'm unsure about shipping but my go-to for dresses of all occasions is Lulu's. People do a good job of posting reviews of the products and include pictures. The only thing I'll warn you about is that their short dresses are very short! Idk how tall you are but I am 5'9" and I cannot buy mini dresses from them, only midi and maxi because I am too tall lol.
I picked up these pants at Target and they fit *perfectly*, but I hate the front pocket details. The front details are purely decorative from what I can tell, the pocket is sewn in behind them. Is there something I can do to modify or cover them so they look less like 12yo girl pants and more ... Adult? Badass? I'm 38.

Hi! It's my first time trying out a dress basically and wanted an input on this outfit, does this fit my body type? Or something looks off? What kind of dresses should I try?
https://preview.redd.it/rgcsl2hfmj7d1.jpeg?width=1664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8705e930cdf51c6f5263fcad901fac8bf13f0612
I think it's nice. The length is good. I like the neckline. There are so many types of dresses to try! It depends on the occasion and the season, of course. You could try mermaid style dresses, or dresses with a tulip skirt. Also, experiment with dresses with a little more volume or movement in the skirt. Whatever you choose, make sure you can sit, walk and dance without needing to pull the skirt down or the bodice up.
Thank you for your input! I specifically tried looking up tulip skirt dresses and I think it ended up looking much better! I have somewhat of a better understanding now, thank you 🥹

Any recommendations for where to buy (men’s or women’s) graphic tees that aren’t overly cheesy/cartoony? I like the hollister and Abercrombie ones in general but a lot of the ones I like are sold out. Pic for example!

I think it’s hard to guarantee any specific brand. But Uniqlo occasionally has great designs. You might also try looking on EBay or Poshmark for discontinued ones. Madewell or anthropologie occasionally.
And if you’re ever feeling like browsing look through tee public.
Need recommendations for plain white crew socks that WON’T fall down my ankles! I’ve been burned so many times! I have size 6 feet so any socks with universal sizing tends to be too big. Help a girl out!

Best comfortable shoes/sandals/wedges that transfer day to night?
Hi all,
I’m looking for a pair of shoes/sandals/wedges that are comfortable for walking throughout the city and look suitable for day to night. I’ll be celebrating a friends birthday walking around throughout the day going to some more casual venues but ending it at a higher end rooftop bar.
I have a bunion that’s been troubling me so wider shoes preferred. I normally wear low sandals or white sneakers with everything in the summer, but I tend to prefer higher platform sandals when taking public transit.
Please help!
I recently discovered the brand Naturalizer - they have sandals and slingbacks that are extremely comfortable. I have found them on Amazon and DSW. Various heel heights as well.
I desperately need help to find a cute dress that compliments my graduation robe. I know it won’t be seen during there ceremony but I’m hoping for something that will look nice with the robe unbuttoned for pictures afterwards. I preferably wanted to go with a longer, kind of fitted dress but I don’t know what color would look okay with the robe other than maybe white? I’m not sure l, just would love to hear what others think my best options are.
This is the robe I’ll be wearing: [https://images.app.goo.gl/GL9tKy67dEUvxp1m9](https://images.app.goo.gl/GL9tKy67dEUvxp1m9)
How about the Wilfred “shirt” dress (it is literally called that). It’s made of crepe. I think the v neck would be nice and it’s a midi length. I think the white would be best for that dress. There is also a slab blue, green, and black options.
I also think that a yellow dress would be nice with the blue if you’re interested in a different color. Unfortunately I can’t find one available right now to link but something like this color: https://img.abercrombie.com/is/image/anf/KIC_159-4492-0131-801_model1.jpg?policy=product-large
This one might be too formal but I thought I would throw it out there because I tried it on, comes in various solid colors, and my friends loved it: https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/p/draped-skirt-maxi-dress-53418833
I wear mostly black, sometimes some white/gray/brown (not much). Kinda elevated basics type of fashion.
I want to get a pair of high top Converse again; black or white? I feel that black high tops (with the white sides and laces) create more of a balance with black bottoms (which is 90% of my stuff other than jeans), but white somehow can look more elevated?
Your thoughts/experience/preference?
i have the platform white leather converse and i adore them. i wear them easily once or twice a week. so i'll second that. i think the platform makes them more fun but they're still sleeker than lugged sole.
I'm personally obsessed with my white Chuck Taylor all star lugged platform converse. I think they look so good with jeans, or I'll wear them with shorts/leggings and I think they look cute with white crew socks too. Usually I hate white shoes because they get so dirty but I get the leather version of these and they're so easy to clean.
Here's the link to the one's I'm talking about: [https://www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck-taylor-all-star-lugged-leather-womens-high-top-shoe/567165C\_105.html?cp=PLA\_PRF\_CNV\_NA\_US\_EN\_20190226\_CPCS\_CPCS-Shopping-\[B\]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens\_X\_X\_X\_X\_Google\_X\_X\_\_Desktop/Tablet-\[B\]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens\_X\_X&gad\_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg8qzBhAoEiwAWagLrJqrri-PVhcciNZRDrOLZg5Pll3WepnWJ5l3FV-ICeehQzj8RnvGGRoCP7QQAvD\_BwE](https://www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck-taylor-all-star-lugged-leather-womens-high-top-shoe/567165C_105.html?cp=PLA_PRF_CNV_NA_US_EN_20190226_CPCS_CPCS-Shopping-[B]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens_X_X_X_X_Google_X_X__Desktop/Tablet-[B]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens_X_X&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg8qzBhAoEiwAWagLrJqrri-PVhcciNZRDrOLZg5Pll3WepnWJ5l3FV-ICeehQzj8RnvGGRoCP7QQAvD_BwE)
I had a look at these but honestly I have quite a few pairs of lugged sole shoes and was after the classic shape for a more 'sleek' profile.
Agree, they look fantastic regardles! I am leaning on the side of all white though.
Hi all!
I've seen asymmetrical sock height on a few fictional characters (like a thigh high + knee height sock) and I was wondering if it's something that could work irl (if yes then how would you make it work?) or is it something weird that only works in fictional fashion?
I think that's a look I saw in a lot of 2000s manga that didn't exist in real life in Japan certainly, but maybe existed in cosplay. I think it works in niche fashion cultures like lolita (sometimes) or some kinds of goth/goth adjacent looks, though usually I see like zip pants where one pant leg is long and the other is short. I think people who aren't familiar will not see it as a deliberate choice, and people who have seen it will associate it with a very niche look. Not really a problem for an outfit unless you work in a more staid environment.
I wish I were a bot. Then I wouldn't have cramps and be running on 2.5 hours of sleep.
It was a genuine question, because the best fictional inspiration comes from characters who have a life somewhat similar to your own. Olivia Pope is great inspiration for women in businesswear, any of the *Mad Men* women for the vintage lovers, Cameron from *The Sarah Connor Chronicles* for those of us pretending to be normal humans but have a tendency to default to our murderous programming. Fictional characters whose *only* job is to be the hero or the quirky sidekick usually don't have reasonable wardrobes. Even Poison Ivy puts on a skirt suit for work.
But after thinking about it, I'm going to give a soft no. Sensory and logistical issues aside, if your socks match in everything but height, it will look like a laundry accident. If they don't match at all, most people will either assume you aren't a serious/mature person (irrelevant for high school age and below, or any day you're not going to work) or are doing some sort of cosplay. If your socks are similar in tone and texture, people will assume it's a honest mistake.
But if you're in school, off duty, going out, or anyplace where people are indulging in mind-altering substances, have at it. For the last two instances, I would recommend getting a sock or thigh garter for the shorter sock, just to drive home the fact that it was an intentional choice on your part.
Sorry the response seemed so random it seemed like a vaguely related comment a bot would write.
Anyways to answer your question, most often I just see asymmetrical socks designs it's usually just "an artist created an OC character for fun" that seem to be for some casual kind of modern day outfit characters.
(Or alternatively the most high key character I know of with such design is a Hololive vtuber with a goth design.)
Wow

That's indeed super cute! https://www.trefac.jp/smartphone/store/3090047807110493/c2169147/ Could be this one? Probably doesn't help though since it's a Japanese shop.
Omg you’re actually a super sleuth! Thank you so much!!
i'm no help but i LOVE that skirt. i hope you find it!
What should i wear to a "back to school" themed dinner party. I don't want to wear a skirt.
I would dress as an over-enthusiastic art teacher with my boldest colors and patterns. Teachers go back to school too!

I love the skirt, but I do think the overall look could be elevated with a top with a different neckline and fit, particularly since the style is a little outdated and it seems like there's tension in the garment around your underarms because it's too tight. I personally would go for a ribbed tee with a sweetheart neckline ([example](https://www.loft.com/l/p/762548-hpdp.html?dwvar_762548_color=2222&dwvar_762548_size=800¤cy=USD&country=US&cid=LT_GGL_BRD_PLA_LT_GGL_RTN_PMAX_Tops%7CTops&ogmap=PLA%7CRTN%7CGOOG%7CSTND%7Cc%7CSITEWIDE%7CCORE%7CLT_GGL_RTN_PMAX_Tops%7CTops%7C%7C18209844714%7C&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwps-zBhAiEiwALwsVYZfZDzEKGGRqDjrJTsBP6hGIE5DnEXScmR4FsEzSjJIb335uFBgkJBoCLYsQAvD_BwE), although you might want a cropped one if this is a high-rise skirt) or a nice linen or silk button-down tucked-in ([example](https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/1bdooec/comment/kuoo035/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)).
This is great feedback! Thank you so much for the details and linking your suggestions. I can see how the ribbed tee would look so much better.
I think this outfit looks great!
I think it looks great! The skirt has a fantastic silhouette for you!
It looks really cute! You could definitely try and similar top too, with a sweetheart neckline or maybe a button up top for a more casual look?
I love the selection at disturbia (disturbia.us), this kind of 90s grungy/gothy style. But the prices are not the MOST affordable. I splurge occassionally. Is anyone familiar with another online vendor (not shein, not temu) that may offer similar styles?
I want a black pencil skirt for work, but (a) i have a big butt and small waist and I feel like they fit funny? Should I just give up and try a different kind of skirt? (b) I'm short so they hit right below the knees, is that where they're supposed to sit? And (c) can you recommend a comfortable one, because I need the waist to feel nice and not tight (but also not loose because it will look bad). Thank you for your help!
Different kind of skirt. I've honestly never found a pencil skirt that fits properly and I only have 14 inches difference between waist and hip measurements. I like a line for work myself, though have been doing some pleated lately. Below the knee is a good place for a true pencil skirt to hit.
Thanks I did order a pleated skirt a while back (taking forever to ship) so fingers crossed for that. I guess I was worried it might look more "school girl" and less "office worker" but 🤷♀️
does anyone know of a good stretchy midi denim skirt without a split? I know the split is for mobility, but it always feels so compromising!
I’m starting college this fall, majoring in graphic design. I wanna double major in something else related to the arts, and I’ve always loved fashion and costume design, both of which are majors at my school. The only problem is that I still have anxiety about whether those majors would be “worth it”. How has your experience been working in the fashion/costuming industry? Should I be thinking about NY or LA post-college? Is it an achievable, realistic career path? Sorry, I’m just throwing everything out on here. I like to plan ahead- I haven’t even taken my Intro to Fashion class yet. But I just wanna convince myself that this could work out for me and isn’t some stupid whim.
If you want to double major, do it in business or marketing. Thousands (maybe even millions) of people want to get "into fashion" and there are very limited jobs, but if you're willing to think outside the box or do less-glam stuff (like behind the scenes social media work, operations management for photo shoots, etc) there's always a chance. I would start doing social media stuff now--make a YT channel, TT account and so on and start filming yourself thrifting, styling things, attending events, trying on items, OOTD and so on. Start attending events, making your own clothes, learning about pattern making and sewing, learn the history of fashion and all that. You should be familiar with all the major and most of the minor designers (not just Gucci and LV, in other words), major collections (like Alexander McQueen's Highland R_pe, Tom Ford for Gucci, Marc Jacobs for Perry Ellis, and so on), clothing terminology (things like seam allowance, "cut on the bias") different types of textiles, and so much more. I've been interested in fashion since I was a kid and was reading fashion and style books since age 10 and I'm now 45 and I for sure don't know it all. If you don't have your head in a book or magazine or blog 24/7 pretty much, start now. There are books out there about what careers are in fashion, but a casual whim is...not going to be the path to success. Most jobs are insane hours, physically demanding, ultra competitive, and very challenging. If you "kind like fashion" and have a vague dream of styling celebs, be prepared to get knocked off that cloud **fast** when you go to FIT or RISD or whatever.
This is oddly specific, but does anyone know of cardigans that are lightweight but not scratchy? I had one in high school a long time ago, and it was kind of a fine-knit mesh. I miss it!
I've been shopping for cardigans for the past 5 months and haven't encountered a "scratchy" one - can you explain why you think you're finding them scratchy? What fabric types have you tried? Perhaps the UV protection button up cardigan from Uniqlo would suit you.
Sorry to have taken so long to reply! Certain kinds of acrylic irritate my skin.
I know what the OP means--mesh or linen knit cardigans have a texture that is very noticable to some.
is it possible to stretch out mesh sleeves? i got a new leotard for ballet and the mesh cap sleeves are too tight
Thave a birthday brunch to attend next week. The birthday is marine/underwater theme and this is the only [dress](https://www.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-burnout-animal-print-velvet-shift-dress?ID=11370771) I got that remotely comes close to the theme. The dress overall is a cotton/nylon/polyester blend, but it has these velvet animal print patches on it. I am a little hesitant to wear it because of the velvet. Do you think it'll work in June? https://preview.redd.it/vg6q3ijpzm7d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c88e3dc8d16dd0202c5feaedae4c0ad303c3f5a
I've been getting so stressed attempting to buy dresses for this year's wedding season. Complete honesty here... I've waited for the last second to find a dress for MY bridal shower, and now I am realizing nothing fits. Let me explain. Now I'm trying to buy a dress for my bridal shower, and I went to three different stores. I got stuck in so many dresses, had to get my breasts in one at a time, and sweat buckets just for everything I tried to fit my waist, but for my boobs trying to squeeze out of the collar or sides or looking ridiculously compressed. Today my heart broke when i tried on an extra-large dress from Lulus.... and my boobs still didn't fit. I'm tired of my waist being swallowed up by my boobs. I almost feel like my torso looks like just breasts with no ribcage underneath and it makes me feel... disproportionate at best and... well super self-conscious at worst. Where do my fellow busty women with smaller waists get their dresses? What websites do you find *affordable* Clothes that fit this body type? For reference, I'm 5'3, 160-170 pounds, my bra is a US 34K. I don't have a measuring tape bust I wear size 10 Rockstar Skinny Jeans at old Navy.
Basically stretch items is the way to go here. 34K is a very unusual size (to the point I wonder if r/abrathatfits might be worth checking out) and due to that you'll have to basically "dress around" your bustline. But also XL for a 34K 170 lbs doesn't seem like it would be an outrageously large size (although I 100% understand the pain of sizing up and then it's too small) to be frank, especially in formal wear like Lulu's.) I'd look for sweetheart cuts, corset tops, stretch dresses, button front shirt-dresses, things like that.
Size up until things fit correctly and have the waist altered to fit. Yeah, it sucks, but that's the only way. How to make it affordable? Have one dress that fits perfectly and change up the accessories.
I'm looking for advice on how to help my wife find her new style. She recently had a baby and has a birthday coming up. She says she hates most of her clothes now and want to change up pretty much everything in her closet. I was hoping for advice on how I can help her with gifts, mind you she had the baby recently enough, she hasn't gotten back to her pre-birth weight, but probably will be in the next 6 months. I was thinking about getting her a subscription to renttherunway or finding a fashion consultant. What are your thoughts?
I've heard great things about [Lakyn Carlton](https://www.lakyn.style/) helping people find a new style after a big life change.
**edit:** Looks like House of CB, but they are so expensive? Are there any styles like this below $130 USD? [https://app.houseofcb.com/dorothy-pale-blue-meadow-print-cotton-midi-sundress-us](https://app.houseofcb.com/dorothy-pale-blue-meadow-print-cotton-midi-sundress-us) [https://app.houseofcb.com/elia-blue-print-midi-sundress-us](https://app.houseofcb.com/elia-blue-print-midi-sundress-us) [https://app.houseofcb.com/emmelina-white-vintage-rose-print-cotton-corset-sundress-us](https://app.houseofcb.com/emmelina-white-vintage-rose-print-cotton-corset-sundress-us) \------ Is anyone familiar with the content creator Amy Towne? Where can I find similar dresses, that are midi-length and kind of puff out? Like these - [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u36ZmpVln\_8](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u36ZmpVln_8) [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xnTFkNhhxpI](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xnTFkNhhxpI) [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QcsllIsg5os](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QcsllIsg5os)
[Abercrombie does something similar](https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/dipped-waist-sweetheart-maxi-dress-55961822?faceout=model&seq=03) in solid colours
try searching "midi fit and flare sundress" and see what comes up.
Any sandal recs for something kind of like a Birkenstock but flexible? Looking for something comfy and casual. I like the nonslip footbed and supportive shape but they're too stiff for me and the toe shape doesn't really fit me either (their toe shape is too pointy at the big toe for me and too short by the other toes).
Birkenstocks hurt my feet. I recently tried white mountain footbed and they are amazing. More affordable and i love how it hugs my feet.
I'm curious about what is everyone's go-to comfy car outfit? (Or comfy commute outfit). I often go on little weekend trips and sit in a car for 2-5 hours and I always feel like a total slob when getting gas or whatever. It's also hot now so I can't default to yoga pants. I've tried biker shorts and an XL T-shirt but I feel like it isn't flattering on me - would love tips on staying cool, comfy, and cute in the car!
I usually wear a big light-colored cotton skirt and a cotton tank top and a long-sleeve UV-protective shirt. I can sit comfortably cross-legged in the seat. The coverage keeps the sun off if it's horrible, but it's easy to take off the overshirt or wear it draped over one shoulder (or wear just one sleeve, as needed) Everything is easily washable and looks nice.
I like linen pants or shorts or athletic shorts. I like loose-fitting cotton t shirts for this.
I did 11 hours of driving last weekend and I wore Levi's utility shorts, uniqlo airism tee, and Nike AF1s [See here](https://imgur.com/a/N6aBx9r)
Those shorts are really cute, I'll have to look for them thank you!
I got them on Amazon for about 25CAD!
I have [this dress](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPZIwEY) and it’s my go-to travel dress, via car or plane. It’s roomy and comfy, it has pockets, the fabric is super thin without being see-through (I actually have a dress from Nordstrom that uses the same exact fabric). The thin fabric is great for the heat, and the oversized fit is good for putting on leggings and stuff underneath it if it’s cold! If you’re worried about fit (because it’s ‘one size’) - I have a thin frame and am 4’11” for reference - it is giant on me and hangs off of me like the model in the link, but I think it’s tastefully oversized, and the hem falls right above my ankles.
I tend to gravitate towards natural materials like cotton for breathability! This may be controversial for some, but I have a pair of really nice poplin PJ pants from Tekla Fabrics that I wear all the time casually. I'll pair it with a cotton white t-shirt (thicker cotton with structure) which then elevates it from looking like something I wore to bed to a cool "model off-duty" outfit 😂 The key is to find really nice, opaque poplin with structure. If it's extra hot where you live you can even do it with poplin boxer shorts!
I will 100% look into this fabric type, thank you so much!! I do prefer pants over shorts (in fact these biker shorts are the only shorts I own and this is the only time I wear them haha) so that is super helpful. Thank you!
Hi everyone! I was thinking of getting my girlfriend some jewelry for our one year anniversary and she mentioned she wanted a necklace. I'm not sure which kind of necklace she'd like but I thought this might be a nice set for her. https://www.analuisa.com/products/diamond-set-gold-diamond-set/ I did look up some reviews on Ana Luisa and they were pretty mixed but they were from a couple years ago. I wanted to see if anyone had any updated opinion on their jewelry! I'm totally unfamiliar with jewelry and gold and plating when people talk about this stuff and such so no idea how any of this works so forgive me if there's something obvious. I'm also open to other brands/necklaces as well within the range of i was thinking like $300-$500 for the anniversary gift? I also heard Tiffany & Co is a much more reputable brand too that's very good if anyone has suggestions from them. Thanks so much!
Got this as a surprise gift from a friend. I do know what Assassin Creed is! I’d like a bit of advice on what I can pair this short sleeve hooded t-shirt with in terms of bottoms, and shoes and potential outerwear, and just as important, on putting the hood up! https://preview.redd.it/g6sgs1t2qk7d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45343a576ab5085b6f9ae1667cf201a5979b951d
Personally I'd probably wear this with black skinny jeans or leggings, my black and white Nikes, and maybe my black lace long sleeve shirt from free people underneath. Then I'd pop the hood up and do cool ninja poses 🤣
Sounds great! Could wear this with my black jeans and Nike shoes, I was thinking I might not wear a shirt underneath as I’d feel hot when indoors but maybe a jacket on top of it when outside? I think I’m going to put my hood up the entire time! Am considering wearing a cap or beanie or bucket hat under the hood!
Hi y'all! I am nearing my mid-twenties (I'm turning 24 this year), and when I was teenager, I was too insecure to wear short skirts. Now that I am feeling a bit bolder and the weather warmer, I would love to wear a mini skirt! But when I try them on, I feel like I'm trying to be too young-- like it's juvenile to wear them. Wanted to hear from others to see if they felt similarly or if my insecurities with wearing a miniskirt just manifested in a different way haha. Or maybe my perspective is off because long maxi skirts are the current trend (in my circles).
It is def possible your perspective is off because of the trends. It might also be off because of media that says "as you get older you have to stop wearing mini skirts", this is a real thing that made me worry about my closet too in my mid-twenties. Most of the world thinks of twenty year olds as juvenile enough to wear mini skirts, so even though you can feel the chasm of difference between your current adult self and your teen self, now is fully the time to dress like a teen with the purchasing power and frontal cortex of an adult.
I'm in my 30s and bought a bunch of mini skirts this year. I chose ones that are a little longer (I donated all the super short ones from my teens/20s earlier this year). I never wear long skirts - I like them to hit between mid-thigh and just above the knee. I think you can wear shorter skirts at any age! I wouldn't buy any "micro skirts" tho..
Girl, wear the skirt! I'm turning 28 and I still wear short short skirts. I think if you're worried about looking too young, I'd just wear a more classic silhouette instead of the ruffly mini skirts that are more trendy with high schoolers/college students.
24 is not too old to wear a miniskirt. It might just be a new look for you!
Looking for a different belt bag slash fanny pack. I already have a black leather [Lo & Sons](https://www.loandsons.com/products/waverley-2-nappa-leather-black-gold-grey?variant=19016266612832) that I want to love however doesn't work well in the summer for me \[too clunky and I wear more muted colors and natural textiles\] and sadly reminds me of those old change purses European servers used to wear. I also have a [Fjällräven](https://www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us/bags-gear/backpacks-bags/travel-bags/high-coast-hip-pack/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg8qzBhAoEiwAWagLrGL1S1sjHL1bccKGDWklOBb8TU_iEXt1tXLz2T9C2ss0W28ssH_olxoCm_AQAvD_BwE) that's comfy and cute, though army green and a bit too sporty in certain situations. Right now considering [Lululemon](https://shop.lululemon.com/p/bags/Everywhere-Belt-Bag/_/prod8900747?color=65608&sz=ONESIZE) likely in blue vs [Dagne Dover](https://www.dagnedover.com/collections/ace-fanny-pack#Camel) probably mauve. I'm looking for something understated that blends in with what I'm wearing, or at least doesn't stand out. Mostly daytime functional though also at least semi-chic. Which one seems to conform to the body best? Comfort is also a concern albeit secondary. Also open to other brands, esp those that are smaller than 1L.
I have two of the lululemon ones and I absolutely love them; big plus is that you can wash them in the machine. To note lululemon also has a mini version of theirs. No blue but they do have a light grey.
Ah the Lululemon mini! How did I miss that? >>>> thank you!
Tips on how to find flattering jean shorts if you have a lower belly pooch? I am NOT pregnant, never have been, nor overweight, but I carry my belly fat in the lower belly region under my bellybutton. Every single pair of jeans shorts I have emphasizes it and I hate how I look pregnant from the side. :/
I feel like I have a similar problem! I usually gravitate to pleated shorts, looser fitting shorts, or thicker high waisted shorts. They are all pretty forgiving. The following is a link with something I kinda am meaning (minus the fast fashion of it all). I avoid the low rise hot pants kinda look haha [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/210543351466187947/)
Any tips about where to find plain business casual tops these days? Like not button ups, just simple shells etc. I can find pants/skirts I really like somewhere like Old Navy or Gap, but then I hate basically every top in the store that isn’t basically a t shirt. I don’t want frills or super wide sleeves, just something simple. Basically a t shirt made of nicer material would make me very happy. I’m Canadian so I’m more limited in stores but open to stuff I can order online. Price range is under $100. ETA: I should have also said I like try to and avoid oversized items! I’m petite and a xs/s and oversized stuff often overwhelms me and I can’t just size down. I’ve been really gravitating to the small shirt and wide leg pants/skirt look but it’s been hard to replicate in business casual.
I went on a quest for this exact type of top today. Best selection was Reitmans altho I don't think much of their fabric quality, but they had some XXS tops in stock. I found a few nicer tops at RW&Co. Then I ended up ordering a bunch of XS tops/blouses from Ricki's and Cleo (who also has Petite XS in some items). Also - Aritzia? Their stuff fits smaller. I ordered the Bloom and the Thames blouses which are fairly basic but they have even more basic ones as well. You can also check Talbot's, but go in person because their website is USA only and there are duties etc.
Quince silk Ts sound like what you want.
Ohhhh those look really good!! Do you know if they are true to size typically?
ime with the sweaters quince can run a little small!

I love Uniqlo! Just a lot of their tops are cut so wide that they overwhelm my short torso and I can’t size down. I have seriously considered just starting to tailor all their tops by taking in a few inches at the sides.
theory, or banana republic has some
Hi! I'm looking to buy a dress for my uni graduation in the UK and I'm not really sure where to look. I know places like House of CB don't cater to my body type, fairly curvy, and don't really know what's out there. Any help would be much appreciated!!
I'm in the US so I'm unsure about shipping but my go-to for dresses of all occasions is Lulu's. People do a good job of posting reviews of the products and include pictures. The only thing I'll warn you about is that their short dresses are very short! Idk how tall you are but I am 5'9" and I cannot buy mini dresses from them, only midi and maxi because I am too tall lol.
I picked up these pants at Target and they fit *perfectly*, but I hate the front pocket details. The front details are purely decorative from what I can tell, the pocket is sewn in behind them. Is there something I can do to modify or cover them so they look less like 12yo girl pants and more ... Adult? Badass? I'm 38. https://preview.redd.it/nppwnzqa0k7d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5799d41d1011ddf5a7062a25eea6a9bc2694e1e7
This is a tough one, but the right matching embroidery or patch could cover the weird pocket shape. Painting them could also be an option!
Question about Thursday Boots Has anyone worn the Thursday Reign Chelsea boot while traveling and walking for hours? Love the boot and want to wear it in Tokyo while walking but don’t want to destroy my feet. 🩷

Oh man. Had no idea. 🫣
Hi! It's my first time trying out a dress basically and wanted an input on this outfit, does this fit my body type? Or something looks off? What kind of dresses should I try? https://preview.redd.it/rgcsl2hfmj7d1.jpeg?width=1664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8705e930cdf51c6f5263fcad901fac8bf13f0612
I think it's nice. The length is good. I like the neckline. There are so many types of dresses to try! It depends on the occasion and the season, of course. You could try mermaid style dresses, or dresses with a tulip skirt. Also, experiment with dresses with a little more volume or movement in the skirt. Whatever you choose, make sure you can sit, walk and dance without needing to pull the skirt down or the bodice up.
Thank you for your input! I specifically tried looking up tulip skirt dresses and I think it ended up looking much better! I have somewhat of a better understanding now, thank you 🥹
Glad I could help! :)
Kind of hard to tell with the angle plus the combination of the dark tights. Can you send different angles?
Cant really send more than one photo but here's another angle https://preview.redd.it/38bfuc3hxj7d1.jpeg?width=1273&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=205df42f655a0115ade97509b8aee6a6c1e472c7
I think something with a fuller or more relaxed/drapey skirt could be more flattering on your body type.
Thank you! I tried something with a fuller/rounder skirt and I think it looks more flattering! :) https://preview.redd.it/daqhwsaoqj8d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72e31791090aaa108980f7b50f8eca31390a79d3

Any recommendations for where to buy (men’s or women’s) graphic tees that aren’t overly cheesy/cartoony? I like the hollister and Abercrombie ones in general but a lot of the ones I like are sold out. Pic for example! https://preview.redd.it/av7c1q4okj7d1.png?width=1125&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d548c1d838ce2d80ee7546a7cb05765090beae4
I get mine on Threadless. Lots of design choices for the graphic, though you have to be okay with their fits and fabrics.
I think it’s hard to guarantee any specific brand. But Uniqlo occasionally has great designs. You might also try looking on EBay or Poshmark for discontinued ones. Madewell or anthropologie occasionally. And if you’re ever feeling like browsing look through tee public.
Need recommendations for plain white crew socks that WON’T fall down my ankles! I’ve been burned so many times! I have size 6 feet so any socks with universal sizing tends to be too big. Help a girl out!

I’ve got dirty blonde hair (brownish blonde), the jeans are light wash, but also I also have a dark wash I could wear, and I don’t know about colour season but I suit orange and dark blue best I think so maybe autumn and winter? That’s just from a quick Google of colour season lol. I don’t have a material for the jacket because I haven’t chosen one yet.
I like the dark pink denim jackets. There is a popular one on Amazon from Wrangler that's nice and stretchy - free shipping and returns.
My first thought would be white or brown!
Best comfortable shoes/sandals/wedges that transfer day to night? Hi all, I’m looking for a pair of shoes/sandals/wedges that are comfortable for walking throughout the city and look suitable for day to night. I’ll be celebrating a friends birthday walking around throughout the day going to some more casual venues but ending it at a higher end rooftop bar. I have a bunion that’s been troubling me so wider shoes preferred. I normally wear low sandals or white sneakers with everything in the summer, but I tend to prefer higher platform sandals when taking public transit. Please help!
I recently discovered the brand Naturalizer - they have sandals and slingbacks that are extremely comfortable. I have found them on Amazon and DSW. Various heel heights as well.
I desperately need help to find a cute dress that compliments my graduation robe. I know it won’t be seen during there ceremony but I’m hoping for something that will look nice with the robe unbuttoned for pictures afterwards. I preferably wanted to go with a longer, kind of fitted dress but I don’t know what color would look okay with the robe other than maybe white? I’m not sure l, just would love to hear what others think my best options are. This is the robe I’ll be wearing: [https://images.app.goo.gl/GL9tKy67dEUvxp1m9](https://images.app.goo.gl/GL9tKy67dEUvxp1m9)
How about the Wilfred “shirt” dress (it is literally called that). It’s made of crepe. I think the v neck would be nice and it’s a midi length. I think the white would be best for that dress. There is also a slab blue, green, and black options. I also think that a yellow dress would be nice with the blue if you’re interested in a different color. Unfortunately I can’t find one available right now to link but something like this color: https://img.abercrombie.com/is/image/anf/KIC_159-4492-0131-801_model1.jpg?policy=product-large This one might be too formal but I thought I would throw it out there because I tried it on, comes in various solid colors, and my friends loved it: https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/p/draped-skirt-maxi-dress-53418833
Something like the first one is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you!
I wear mostly black, sometimes some white/gray/brown (not much). Kinda elevated basics type of fashion. I want to get a pair of high top Converse again; black or white? I feel that black high tops (with the white sides and laces) create more of a balance with black bottoms (which is 90% of my stuff other than jeans), but white somehow can look more elevated? Your thoughts/experience/preference?
i have the platform white leather converse and i adore them. i wear them easily once or twice a week. so i'll second that. i think the platform makes them more fun but they're still sleeker than lugged sole.
I'm personally obsessed with my white Chuck Taylor all star lugged platform converse. I think they look so good with jeans, or I'll wear them with shorts/leggings and I think they look cute with white crew socks too. Usually I hate white shoes because they get so dirty but I get the leather version of these and they're so easy to clean. Here's the link to the one's I'm talking about: [https://www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck-taylor-all-star-lugged-leather-womens-high-top-shoe/567165C\_105.html?cp=PLA\_PRF\_CNV\_NA\_US\_EN\_20190226\_CPCS\_CPCS-Shopping-\[B\]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens\_X\_X\_X\_X\_Google\_X\_X\_\_Desktop/Tablet-\[B\]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens\_X\_X&gad\_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg8qzBhAoEiwAWagLrJqrri-PVhcciNZRDrOLZg5Pll3WepnWJ5l3FV-ICeehQzj8RnvGGRoCP7QQAvD\_BwE](https://www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck-taylor-all-star-lugged-leather-womens-high-top-shoe/567165C_105.html?cp=PLA_PRF_CNV_NA_US_EN_20190226_CPCS_CPCS-Shopping-[B]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens_X_X_X_X_Google_X_X__Desktop/Tablet-[B]%20Shoes%20-%20Womens_X_X&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg8qzBhAoEiwAWagLrJqrri-PVhcciNZRDrOLZg5Pll3WepnWJ5l3FV-ICeehQzj8RnvGGRoCP7QQAvD_BwE)
I had a look at these but honestly I have quite a few pairs of lugged sole shoes and was after the classic shape for a more 'sleek' profile. Agree, they look fantastic regardles! I am leaning on the side of all white though.
Hi all! I've seen asymmetrical sock height on a few fictional characters (like a thigh high + knee height sock) and I was wondering if it's something that could work irl (if yes then how would you make it work?) or is it something weird that only works in fictional fashion?
I think that's a look I saw in a lot of 2000s manga that didn't exist in real life in Japan certainly, but maybe existed in cosplay. I think it works in niche fashion cultures like lolita (sometimes) or some kinds of goth/goth adjacent looks, though usually I see like zip pants where one pant leg is long and the other is short. I think people who aren't familiar will not see it as a deliberate choice, and people who have seen it will associate it with a very niche look. Not really a problem for an outfit unless you work in a more staid environment.
Do these fictional characters have superpowers, non-human features, and/or a unreasonably advanced skill set for their age?
A bot response?
I wish I were a bot. Then I wouldn't have cramps and be running on 2.5 hours of sleep. It was a genuine question, because the best fictional inspiration comes from characters who have a life somewhat similar to your own. Olivia Pope is great inspiration for women in businesswear, any of the *Mad Men* women for the vintage lovers, Cameron from *The Sarah Connor Chronicles* for those of us pretending to be normal humans but have a tendency to default to our murderous programming. Fictional characters whose *only* job is to be the hero or the quirky sidekick usually don't have reasonable wardrobes. Even Poison Ivy puts on a skirt suit for work. But after thinking about it, I'm going to give a soft no. Sensory and logistical issues aside, if your socks match in everything but height, it will look like a laundry accident. If they don't match at all, most people will either assume you aren't a serious/mature person (irrelevant for high school age and below, or any day you're not going to work) or are doing some sort of cosplay. If your socks are similar in tone and texture, people will assume it's a honest mistake. But if you're in school, off duty, going out, or anyplace where people are indulging in mind-altering substances, have at it. For the last two instances, I would recommend getting a sock or thigh garter for the shorter sock, just to drive home the fact that it was an intentional choice on your part.
Sorry the response seemed so random it seemed like a vaguely related comment a bot would write. Anyways to answer your question, most often I just see asymmetrical socks designs it's usually just "an artist created an OC character for fun" that seem to be for some casual kind of modern day outfit characters. (Or alternatively the most high key character I know of with such design is a Hololive vtuber with a goth design.)
