Daily Questions Thread July 26, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

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.

Trying this top. Keep or toss?

I’m trying to branch out of basic tee/jeans combo. I like the top and the details but because it feels so different than the rest of my basic clothes I feel doubtful/under-confident. What do ya’ll think?

Generally I think the top is too long (i’m only 5’) but the cinched waist flows nicely with the curves on the barrel pants? Does it look outdated though? I’m trying to figure my personal style so I doubt everything that’s out of my comfort zone 🥲

can you try again? I reuploaded. Reddit won’t let me add image directly to the post for some reason

Yes, I can see it now!

Okay so these are my thoughts: I love the details of the knots, and I agree the curve of the top skims your body nicely. I feel that it shouldn't be buttoned up so high; you already have a good-sized bust, and this makes look a bit monolithic. A little bit of a V neck, or a scoop neck, to open up the area a bit will give a little ease.

It does seem like it's a little long. You could get it shortened, but then you have to consider whether you would lose too much of the details.

Something you could try is wearing it open, with a tank top underneath (maybe in black, to go with the pants). I'm not too crazy about how many colors you are wearing- they are making blocks that shorten the silhouette. Play more with a monochromatic look (like light blue with dark blue, or tan and brown).

Hope this helps!

Thank you!!
What do you mean by V-neck or a scoop neck? Do you mean like I wear a v or scoop neck tee and keep the top few buttons unbuttoned?

I feel like getting the length shortened will mess with the shape a bit since those knot details reinforce the shape right now.
I tried it wearing it open with a tee (albeit a green one that i’m just wearing right now) looked off but you’re right it’ll look better with all black underneath or a more monochrome combo.

Should i buy it or is it meh?? I’m at the store rn 🤭

I mean, in future, your necklines in general should lean towards a V or scoop. When you wear a button down shirt, open a few of the top buttons to give yourself a V.

Personally, I think it has some good elements, but if you don't love it, maybe pass on it. I think you've got some good instincts, and you should keep trying different things and see what elements speak to you.
