20 something year old going for her first corporate job!
I want to invest in some good quality basics for layering. I used to shop heavily at H&M but the quality leaves much to be desired. My price limit is max $50 per piece (so per shirt/bottom).
Hello,
I am a young woman living in the UK looking for some new clothing brands. I want some unusual, colourful tops and have tried Lucy and Yak and all other usual high street brands. Any independent/online ideas would be really appreciated.
I am also looking for joggers and hoodies in nice colours like magenta, reds, pinks, purples.
Please help because I am so bored of beige clothing 🌈🩷
Thank you so much! 🐞🐝🐛🌷✨️

To start things off:
What’s your favorite natural fabric to wear and why?
I have gotten basically all of my bras from VS since I was a teen. About a year ago after having a kid and losing weight I went there, got measured, they tell me I’m a 36DD, and I buy a bra. I didn’t pay attention when I bought it but the bra is literally glued together. The fabric on the cup is literally glued to the cup instead of stitched. Over the course of the year of owning it the fabric has come unglued and it’s literally hanging on by a thread because I don’t have another bra.
I also noticed with this bra it like swallows my entire boob, there’s gaping at the top of the cup the cup is like super full coverage so it sticks out the top of some shirts.
So I go in last week, get measured and tell the lady what I’m wearing and explain the gaping and she says I’m still a 36DD and shrugs off the gaping. Whatever I grab a 36C that has stitching around the cups and not glue to see if it fits better. The cup fits perfectly. Not full coverage. The girls are plump in their seats. But the band was slightly tight. So I was like no big deal let me grab the 38C which should just increase the band size right?! NOPE! The cups are literally double the size causing the full coverage issue and gaping at the top.
So I left because I just want a bra that fits and feels good. Where do I go now?
I find I need fitted tshirts to go with loose bottoms and I like loose tshirts for with exercise tights. Then long sleeve in winter and tank tops in summer and for exercising. Then of course I want good quality and different colours in each category. I feel like I spend a huge chunk of my budget just on boring basics, which I love don’t get me wrong but I am on a pretty tight budget. How do other people manage this?
Hi everyone! I’m trying to find the exact brand and reference for this suit set. It features a collarless/crewneck blazer with a high button closure and jetted pockets, paired with loose/fluid matching trousers. The fabric looks like a textured linen or wool blend in a dark olive/taupe color.
I’ve already checked Lemaire, The Row, Casey Casey, Low Classic and Nothing Written but couldn't find it.
I'm looking for this style for an event on June 4th, so if the exact one is sold out, similar alternatives that are available to buy right now would also be greatly appreciated!
Any help would be amazing, thank you!
What in the Edward Scissorhands hell is going on with Keke Palmer's outfit on today's broadcast of The View? Looks like they ran that dress through a blender before stapling it back together. 😂😂😂
These are the colors I want to build with, as a soft autumn.
Took a color analysis test and based on the results, along with what colors I’ve been told look good on me, this is what I’m starting with.
Thoughts?
Not pictured:
Pants -navy dress pants, white jeans, white & gray striped wide leg pants, jeans.
Skirt - light blue linen (matches light blue sweater)
Shirts- white button down, navy t-shirt
Do you think these are the right colors for a soft autumn?
What would you add? I’m looking for summer recommendations mainly. I think I need another shirt.
Newbie - not sure how to add photos
I have a light blue sweater with high neck - thin material. White woven cotton sweater - crew neck. Navy and white striped v neck button front cardigan (collegiate style)
Hi all! I’ve been an Ann Taylor fan for several years but I want to branch out a bit and look for good quality cotton, silk, and linen staples. I would love to spend my hard earned money on something that is good quality and made sustainably + ethically. Any thoughts on the brands I mentioned- they keep coming up in my searches. Thank you!

I've been looking for a good travel bag.. using the Chloe canvas bag. and in the past the LV neverfull. I so love the row https://savannahs.com/products/idaho-black-leather-bag-tr24161b but obviously this one is sold out! And also the yuzefi / Polene totes but so common now. I did see this YSL puffer tote which seemed pretty good, but seems to be quite high maintenance for travel. any suggestions?! thx <3
Picked up a good mix of summer pieces and a few heavier layers recently, and everything has fit nicely into daily rotation so far. The overall lineup feels comfortable, easy to style, and solid for relaxed casual wear.

After wearing a few of these already, comfort and overall quality have been pretty consistent. Definitely a versatile group of pieces that work well for simple everyday outfits and laid-back summer styling.
This makes me sad. But as we talk a lot about. We can alway thrift the vintage stuff!
I'm 37 and I've noticed that when I describe something I want to wear as "cute" I get slightly different reactions than I did at 25. Like the word itself has started to feel like it needs a disclaimer. I want a cute summer dress for a trip I'm taking and I genuinely just mean something pretty and feminine and fun, not sophisticated, just cute.
There's this unspoken pressure that hits somewhere in your mid thirties where "cute" gets replaced with "elegant" as the acceptable aspiration and I'm not sure I signed up for that. I still want the flowy floral dress with the little ruffle detail. Has anyone else felt this shift? And if you've found brands that do cute summer dresses well without them looking too young I'm all ears
Needing more cottons, linen and wool clothing so I can get rid of my polyesters etc. where can I buy work and daily clothing that’s 100% those materials? Preferably online and affordable
Heading to greece next month and can't decide between these two. First one is from astr the label, second from lulus. Which one wins?

Building a wardrobe around reliable basics is the part of fashion that saves the most money long-term, but "affordable basics" covers everything from genuinely good quality essentials to fast fashion that falls apart after three washes. silver sea apparel comes up in budget fashion discussions and the question is whether the fabric weight and construction hold up at that price or if it's another retailer where the savings come from cutting quality corners. How does the fabric quality on their basic tees, tanks, and layering pieces compare to the known budget basics brands like uniqlo or h&m essentials?
Going to Eastern Europe in a few weeks for a beach vacation. I am obsessed with travel capsules so have been working on this for a month or so lol.
All of this fits in my carry on suitcase (no weight allowance) including undies and PJs. In my personal item bag will have toiletries, books, laptop, headphones etc
I wanted to set a really strong colour scheme.
Plan is to change twice a day and I wanted options and pieces which could mix and match.
I have included the full wardrobe and some of the looks I plan to wear.
I have not included my airport outfit which is simple leggings, tee, leather jacket and trainers.
Please let me know your thoughts!
Thank you.
I’ve been getting tons of sponsored ads for brands that feel a bit more elevated, and I’m tempted to start building out my wardrobe with more refined pieces, especially for dresses and skirts. But I’m still on the fence since a higher price point doesn’t always translate to a better design or fit. For anyone who’s moved in that direction (not necessarily designer, but beyond really basic pieces), what brands have you found that consistently deliver on fabric feel, construction, and flattering silhouettes? And how do those pieces actually work in your day-to-day wardrobe? Are they things you reach for often or more situational? I’m especially curious how you style these pieces season after season?
