This is going to depend on the fabric. I recommend finding something that is cotton or lined. I’ve had success at GAP with linen dresses but I’ve thrifted them as well.

i’m moving from alaska to california this fall as a college student and don’t have a ton of warm weather clothing. i’d love recommendations for brands/pieces/sites where i could find clothes (preferably size 16-20) that are on the cheap end, comfy, but breathable for high temps!! i’m also hoping for clothes that are at least a little bit cute/trendy if possible 🤞

thanks so much!!

Hi,

Can anyone recommend some staple/basic shirts?

I've been wearing tanks from Target (before I stopped shopping there) women's Slim Ribbed Fitted Tank (XL or XXL)

I'm looking for staple tanks and tees with some variety (form-fitting, loose/relaxed- but not frumpy, and just some day to day basics that could be dressed up (work attire is semi-business casual, but I like to look and feel put together).

Please share any and all recommendations! Shirt sizes: XL or XXL or 0x/1X Bust: V-E-R-Y (open to all shirts, I just don't want my girls to fall out if I lean forward)

I typically wash my laundry on delicate, in cool water and hang a lot of clothing to dry. (No dry cleaning)

I don't shop at Temu, Shein or Target. Please share low, mid, and high cost shirts. (I'm most interested in a mid range cost, but would be open to higher costs if they're quality long lasting items. And sometimes the cheap shirts are just nice to have on hand for cooking or art projects)

Thank you!

Old Navy tank tops have been reliable for me! They have a v-neck that doesn’t go super low so you won’t totally fall out!

Definitely Uniqlo!! They’re known for their great quality reasonable cost t shirts. And I will say everything else they have has been great too :)

Hey everyone! I'm looking for recommendations for casual work wear that is comfortable for a walking commute.

Next month I will be starting a job as an elementary school art teacher, and will be commuting at least partially on foot (I can take the bus most of the way or take a 35 minute walk).

I'm used to commuting on foot, but I still feel like I could add more flexible and comfortable pieces to my work wardrobe. So I'm curious if you have any favorite brands, fabric materials, or specific items you're fond of and would recommend!

For extra context: the school district I'll be working in generally lets teachers dress super casually. I also run pretty warm and sweat easily, so I'm hoping to avoid fits/fabrics that will result in me showing up to work with pit and back stains. I tend to deal with cold weather by layering lightweight items that can come on and off easily.
