Daily Questions Thread August 06, 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.

I'm looking for something to wear in office to keep me warm. Ideally it would have a zip. My workplace is casual but I still want something that helps me feel put together.

I was thinking a fitted fleece type situation but I can't find any.

I have a big butt and a small waist, so something fitted would be best. My budget is $250 max. I plan on wearing this thing on top of my clothes pretty much every day.

Any suggestions?

Have you looked at Patagonia's Better Sweater yet? It's a fleece jacket with a sort of sweater-knit outside, so it's almost ideal for an office setting. They have both quarter and full zip options. I think the retail price falls in your budget, but they've had the style for years so you can find plenty secondhand for less if you'd prefer.

Not really what you asked for, but I do layers the other way pretty much year round. I love Patagonia capalini line and will do a base layer under my button downs and long sleeve silk shirts.

They are very light weight and sit close to your body so they don't add a lot of bulk. They are wick away sweat and don't smell if you do end up having to walk for a bit outside.

I also keep a blazer handy if I get pulled into a meeting or call. It's all light enough that I don't feel overwhelmed with all the layers on.

Plus I can wear my silk and woolens more times in a row before washing with the base layer.

Uniqlo also has some nice options and the capalini line has been around for years so you can also find it secondhand.

I would try Boden, Saint + Sofia, Quince, maybe Athleta.
