Could you help me understand how to style bottoms that aren’t jeans?

I live in jeans and a tshirt. I own some skirts and pants that I never hear because I don’t understand what pairs with them. I’ve posted images of my clothing items, could I have some ideas or fashion info on how you all style skirts and pants that aren’t jeans?

Does this fit me? July 05 2026

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.

What's your actual process for putting together an OOTD?

I feel like I never have an actual process for this, I just default to whatever's clean and doesn't feel wrong together. Then I see people whose outfits look clearly planned and intentional even when the pieces are simple, and I can't figure out what I'm missing.

Do you plan the night before, keep some kind of mental (or actual) list of combos that already work, or is it more improvised in the morning? Do you start from the weather, the occasion, or just whatever piece you're excited to wear that day?

Trying to get less random about it without turning it into a whole production every morning. Curious what actually works for people versus what just sounds good in theory.

Suggestions for supportive backpacks that function like a purse?

Hi all! Unfortunately I am on mobile so I apologize if the formatting is wonky. I've been having shoulder/back problems so having a purse or cross body bag that only puts weight on one side of my body causes a lot of pain. I've been looking for a backpack that can basically replace my purse, but I've found that they are either super cute with the skinny/braided straps, neon outdoor packs, or they give off sterile tech bro or grade school vibes. Do you guys have any suggestions of cute but supportive bags? Here's a list of more specific things I've been trying to find:

-Spreads the weight across both shoulders and maybe also the back. Extra points for padded straps

-Big enough to hold a water bottle and some everyday carry items, but not too much larger

-Is mostly a neutral color

-Looks normal-ish for an adult to bring to a sit down restaurant

-Bonus if it doesn't cost more than $100 but at this point I will be taking any and all suggestions

Where are you buying your non-boring, fun clothes? Why are the clothes so BORING?

Everywhere I look at standard retail, it's beige, stripes, all-black. You used to be able to go to standard American retailers (Gap, Old Navy, J Crew, TJ Maxx, mall brands, etc.) and find fun, colorful, patterned, sequined, embroidered, studded, beaded clothes. The neutrals were there if you wanted them, but it wasn't ALL neutrals.

I was looking at photos of myself in my 20s, and I miss that wardrobe and the options I had. There were patterned peasant tops, "going out" tops with sequins on the neck, fun-patterned summer dresses, even work/corporate tops with flowers or ruffles sewn in.

Where are you getting your non-boring clothes? Where do you go when you need to FEEL something?

Bargain Basement: Escape from the Beige

When it comes to finding fun, vibrant, unusual stuff people vastly underestimate the power of searches and browsing, whether aimless or going down a rabbit hole.

I've posted before on how to shop affordably and eclectically to up your wardrobe and personal style game.

I'll be dropping links to finds to illustrate that interesting fashion is more within reach than you might think.

Keep in mind that not everything will be available in every size, plenty of things may be final sale, one offs in general or at that particular price point, and inexpensive relative to their normal cost. If the links are dead when you find this in six months, womp womp.

As always with sizes your mileage may vary. Take flatlay measurements of things you own that you like the fit on to compare to listings and size charts. This will help more than your own measurements as they will account for the ease needed to wear things comfortably. Consult size charts or measurements in listings and be okay with sizes you normally wouldn't if the measurements or signs point there. Read reviews and figure out if those complaints are valid and apply to you.

I'm not getting paid for this and you are welcome and encouraged to use these options as a jumping off point for your own searches if what you're seeing isn't right for you.

In advance, this will be hiiiighly US specific since that's where I am but if anyone in Asia, Australia, or wherever else wants to follow suit a create a version for your country or region be my guest.

What is the summer version of Whimsical goth or likewise outfits?

It is soooo hot. And its going to get hotter in July. I always default to a tank top and shorts but how do the fashionistas deal with the summer heat? Im also a bigger girl but ive always been a sweaty girl even when i was younger. How do I keep a cute fashion sense in the heat? There's less layering options 😭😭 ive even looked into cottage core but it still looks hot. I just default to a granola girl outfit everytime. What's your secrets to being cute in the summer? Or are we all wearing something akin to athlesure except for things like a music festival or a pool party?

While not yet as massive as the y2k trend was, scene/00s emo fashion is back?

Let's start with the original iteration: if you are millennial and midlife, you were possibly rocking the extreme side part, feathered haircuts, black box dye, snake bites, studded white belts and skintight jeans way back in 2000, maybe even late 90s.

I was there. I was watching from dialup internet sites like makeoutclub and discussing on livejournal: blood brothers, atreyu, get up kids, plot to blow up the eiffel tower, saosin etc. There was a community to rate music tastes and of course hair. We wanted to be rad.

And now today's kids are doing it, and i'm happy about that, because now we Olds can dabble back in it. On instagram, you may search 'scene hair' and see that it is alive and well in the zeitgeist.

No longer are skinny jeans and side parts fashion anathema. They are on the horizon. Just call yourself an early adopter.

Edit: If anyone was interested, this google search includes videos made recently about the topic. Very often people on Youtube and Tiktok drive trends, so you can look at the dates and see when things get traction.

What’s the silhouette for fall?

I’m 39, so l think l still gravitate towards creating a single silhouette “formula” in my mind- 2010s were very tight pant, long top for me. l’ve moved on to high waisted wide leg pant plus form-fitting or slightly cropped loose top. However l’m wondering if that’s going pretty stale now too. Any chance the new one is going to be midrise baggy and form fitting longer top?

What’s going to be on trend?
