Actually, no, "one" can't. Everything at AT and J Crew and Brooks Brothers has no darting/definition in the waist, haven't you noticed? Seriously, go look at AT blouses/tops online right now. They are all boxy/loose, and have weird colors and prints, and have random tie-things at the neckline.

100%. Case in point:

shapeless + puffy 3/4 sleeves + most unflattering color ever - https://www.anntaylor.com/lantern-sleeve-double-v-top/436829?skuId=23798137&defaultColor=7390&colorExplode=false&catid=cata000010

boxy + ruffles + ties + totally see thru + dotted - https://www.anntaylor.com/dotted-ruffle-tie-neck-blouse-/440701?skuId=23737419&defaultColor=2222&colorExplode=false&catid=cata000010

boxy + ties and bows - https://www.anntaylor.com/bow-cuff-blouse/444958?skuId=23672680&defaultColor=5348&colorExplode=false&catid=cata000010

boxy + ruffle sleeve + bold pattern that goes with nothing - https://www.anntaylor.com/leaves-silk-tie-sleeve-blouse/442640?skuId=23353619&defaultColor=5095&prodId=442640

NP. This thread is SPOT ON.

That first shirt, wtf? I can't even.

The third shirt has some potential. But you can tell it's boxy and poorly fitting by the way the model is clutching it in to make a waist.

Just this morning, I tried on some stuff in my closet. Two suits that I will be bringing back into rotation now that waistlines are back near the waist and skinny pants are fading. One of them I bought when DS1 was a baby. He's 19 now. I know I couldn't find anything like their quality in stores today. Now I just need to take off about 5 pounds.

NP. I am young at heart (47). If you spent enough time here and saw the shoes and dresses posted along with the insistence on pantyhose you would get why people are calling these women fraus.

There is nothing wrong with this top posted earlier and it does not skew 14 yo.

If you don't get it, you don't get it. And you never will.

I guess the problem for me is that my work environment is predominantly male. The guys would burst out laughing if I wore that. They burst out laughing when I wore a touch of leopard print. Maybe you work in a sales at a department store? Or some other primarily female environment?

Who cares what guys think? Trust me, guys will respect you and yours style if you rock it with confidence and make it clear it's not for them. Like I don't care what DCUM says about the clothes I like- not one lick. Once people realize you truly don't care about insults and you love what you have, they generally back off. I would take it as a compliment that they laughed at you because men are so clueless about fashion. If they understand everything you wear, you're doing it wrong. JMO!

While I appreciate that attitude in theory, in practice I just want them to notice my work output. While they are distracted by my clothes, they are not noticing what great ideas I have. But, I hope someday you young women won't have to make the kind of sacrifices I have made to get the boys to focus on just how good I am at having new ideas in my line of work...

That's not a problem with the clothes that is a problem with the men you work with. Since when has the avg guy ever been arbiter of fashion?

No, ALL of the clothes selling today are not ugly and not all of the people rejecting that half-baked theory are millennials. In fact if you read the thread you would see there is at least one millennial who agrees with OP.

27 y/o PP here. That blouse isn't terrible but I wouldn't be caught dead in it. I would wear this instead:
https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-silk-long-sleeve-blouse-black?collection=womens-tops

This is probably just a difference in taste, right? But I haven't found anything of good enough quality at mall stores in a long time.

I dont shop in the malls either and can wear neither top as I have a large bust but all this arm flailing over the AWFUL UGLY fashions here gets a sideye from me as people here post some of the ugliest shoes I have ever seen.

Please, post a pic of your shoes.

Here are some shoes I am considering buying:

http://www.tedbaker.com/us/Womens/Shoes/JESAMIN-Cut-out-detail-suede-courts-Bright-Orange/p/139543-BRT-ORANGE

these are pretty classic shoes. They are not at all what a 14 year old would wear. I think any adult woman (or man for that matter) would approve.

Bell bottoms are ugly... why? Because you've decreed it to be so? Lol.

Do you think that's the only style of shirt available?

Don't get what? Don't get the appeal of busy, ruffled, cheaply made and over priced trendy shirts?

Fashion.

Btw, it's ruffled shirts now, in 3 years when the styles have completely shifted, you will find another thing to complain about. It's what out of touch people do and have done since the beginning of the modern era. Always complaining about what the "kids are wearing"

Okay, but I'm young, most likely younger than you, and I know a lot about fashion. Anne Taylor isn't it.

I doubt all of your first sentence. And no one thinks it is except for the fraus on here, but gold star to you for at least knowing that basic tidbit about fashion.

Should I get those everlane loafers everyone is talking about, or will they be like the tory burch reva flats next year? And are they even comfortable?
