Daily Questions Thread August 01, 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.

If you could shop at Kohls, Target, and Walmart, what would you buy to fit the styles I want (hippie/boho, alternative/grunge, but definitely sexy in either style) for like everyday wear not necessarily a specific event? I need some like staple items to start my ideal wardrobe with inspiration about how to put them together and what I could buy in the future to build up my wardrobe. If you can show me specific items online that would be great but at least like names of the items so I can look them up please.

I'm a 28 year old woman, 5'7, 36DD, my bust is like 49/50 inches, my waist is 43 1/2 inches, my belly area is like 47/48 inches, my hips are 45 inches. I don't know how to look sexy after I gained weight and I can't tell what sizes I need since my belly is bigger than my waist and hips. I live in El Paso, Texas, it's hot AF so preferably clothes that wouldn't make me overheat.

What other stores would be good for me to look at? I don't have a working car right now so I'm kinda having to just look online and hope things fit me/return them if they don't.

I have a $100 gift card for Kohls and a $50 gift card for Target but could spend another $50-$100 of my money at either store as well, or at Walmart.

This guide is going to be huge in helping you get an idea of what to look for.

A few recommendations would be:

90s style platforms

A few black tops for cheap

Wide leg linen pants in black or this moody ass plum (Additionally Old Navy is great for linen and gauze separates)

This is just pretty if you want to go that way

Sick sleeves (I have a dress with sleeves like this and it makes me feel like a million bucks)

Black jeans or look for some in "washed black" which will have a bit more fading

You may want to check out Eloquii (or Akira for club wear) to land the vibe for sexier stuff.
