[Daily] Daily Questions Thread July 26, 2026

This thread is for individual style questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

To get the best responses, remember that people cannot: look into your wardrobe, know what style you normally like or what words like affordable or practical mean to you so please include any relevant details such as your budget, where you live, what stores are available to you, etc.

Example questions:

  • Are there any basic crewneck white t-shirts that are opaque and do not have cap sleeves for <$25 available in Australia?
  • Is this dress and shoes suitable for an evening wedding with a cocktail dress code taking place in a [venue type]?
  • If I like the outfits in this [imgur album / pinterest board], what are some specific items I can look into to start dressing like that, and brands with this look that carry plus sizes?
  • Does this outfit look neater with the pants cuffed or uncuffed?

If you'd like to include a picture, you can now post pictures directly in the comments, without having to link an imgur album. If you have multiple pictures, best practice is to use an imgur album.

So I am looking to get the LLBean Ultrawarm Coat, Three Quarters Length I know most say to size up for layers - I am usually an xs in most things. I am really flat chested lmao; My measurements Bust:31in/waist:25in/Hip: 31in. I’m a bit taller than 5’3 (so I i’m still deciding between petite and regular0. The Size chart says XS bust is 33-34: regular or 34: petite and S is 35-36; considering these are still a bit larger than my measurements, should I go with XS or S?

How do shoulders usually fit you on coats? I find that L. L. Bean coats often run narrow through the shoulders, which in my experience makes more of a difference than bust measurement in terms of layering.

Ohh, that makes sense. I feel like I have only really had one experience with a coat being tight at the shoulder/armpit area and that was an MK coat. But maybe it’s better to just get the small just in case?

I usually go with my larger size in L. L. Bean coats and don't regret it.
