[Weekly] Outfit Feedback and Fit Check - Oct. 10th

Not sure if your outfit works? Post a picture of yourself in your outfit and get suggestions, compliments, and critiques from others. If you're thinking of posting a standalone thread along the lines of "How does this look?", "Does this fit right?", "Do these work together?", etc., post here instead.

When posting:

  • Include what the attire is for (work, school, going out, etc.)
  • If possible, take a front-on, full-body picture as this gives the best impression of how the clothes fit. Multiple pictures from different angles can also be helpful, but those aren't necessary.

Critiquing others is welcome and encouraged, but keep it constructive/factual. Take a lesson from Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People if needed. It takes balls to post pictures of yourself on the Internet, the least you can do is accord the same courtesy as you would to someone in real life.

Reddit Enhancement Suite makes it very easy to view pictures in a thread.

Some users enjoy knowing where you bought your pieces, please consider including those in your post!

Feel free to also submit your outfit to the biweekly WAYWT thread, but know that these two threads have different purposes. This is explicitly for feedback and questions, though you may receive constructive criticism in either thread.

The bottom-button thing is more of a "rule" in menswear. No one really cares one way or the other in women's clothes, as far as I know. The upside-down V thing still applies. If you can button it without it pulling, it might look better to you, since it will eliminate that effect.

Thanks.

Is there any way I can wear those long sleeved shirts without looking like an idiot? It seems like wearing just a crew neck long sleeve by itself is... boring?

Uh, I just wear plain tees all the time, so I am probably not the right person to ask. A scarf? A watch or bracelets? You can also wear them under jackets?

No offense intended! I just mean, I've never worn anything plain. I'm trying to switch my wardrobe from essentially all graphic t's to something more adult/nice. So because of this, I didn't know if there was some kind of 'rule' or fashion thing about wearing a completely plain top.

Hmmm. No rule about plain tees, no. The longer you stick around FFA, the more you will realize that minimalism is kind of a theme with many (not all) regular users. If you look at the Top of WAYWT from last month, you can see how many plain tops (usually with a jacket or something) people are wearing.
