Target slit hem leggings and Free People (genuine and dupe) sweatshirts, tunics and fleeces. I'm in the Bay Area, and when it gets colder, I'll mix in Dudley Stephens Cobblestone turtlenecks. It's my little capsule wardrobe; I work from home and have a chronic illness so rarely leave the house. I'm OBSESSED with any clothing in rich browns right now.

Skinny jeans, structured boots, oversize sweater and a nice scarf. I love dressing in fall - it’s the best season for fashion IMO.

Yes! I hate it when people declare something out in unison, like vocal lemmings. Multiple Jean fashions can coexist or be in style simultaneously because there are so many different body types and no one style flatters all.

I mean, this is how fashion works. Things go in and out of style. You can keep wearing skinny jeans if you want, but that doesn’t make them in.

Things go in and out of style, and whether they are "in" has literally ZERO correlation to how flattering they tend to be. That overall skinny jeans look sounds dated and out of style (it's often more about the shoes and accessories than the denim). But that doesn't mean it's unflattering...wear what you want.

I think this is an antiquated picture of how "in style" is defined. This may have been the case previously, when there were few voices determining trends. Now that there are so many fashion influencers or just people creating / trying trends, multiple trends can coexist simultaneously. I think this article in the NYT addresses the topic well. I think there are others but I don't feel like looking.

Sort of.. but not exactly. It is true that multiple trends can coexist, but the fact that some people are still wearing the exact outfits they wore 10 years ago doesn’t mean that those are fashionable. Of course wear whatever you want… but this is the fashion forum so when people ask about what to wear this season, I don’t think they are asking what someone who pays zero attention to current trends is wearing.

+1 when I see someone now wearing skinny jeans, I don’t think “what an independent and original thinker!” I think “they must not have the time/money/inclination to keep their wardrobe current.” To be clear, I don’t judge people for that - to each their own, truly. But let’s not pretend that trends don’t still exist and that certain looks don’t look dated.

Or they know what looks good on them and prefer to stick with flattering over trendy. Having a sense of personal style is, to me, really appealing.

OK… though at a certain point it does just look completely dated. And again.. not the point of the FASHION forum.

When did the fashion forum become about group think? I feel like the posters who adhere so strictly to what is deemed in fashion are 40+ / middle age.
I wear skinny, slim, and wide jeans because all look good on my slim frame.

Disagree. I’m in my 30s and retired my skinny jeans this year. I think it’s the moms in their 40s who aren’t staying up to date.

I care enough about fitting in that I want to keep up with trends, but fashion isn’t important enough to me to “express myself” through my clothes. I copy what’s on Instagram and in stores and don’t put a ton of thought into it . Call me a lemming if you want. I think a lot of us are in this boat.

The issue with skinny jeans AND wide leg jeans is that they’re extreme fits, so they’ll always look like a trend and the only question is if they’re current or not.

Not that it matters if you love one or the other.

Dress pants, button down shirts, mo0ck neck sweaters, ballet work shoes (Everlane), cardigans-nice ones.

I’m 5’9” and like everything is cropped these days. I have struggled to find anything not cropped. Everlane is the worst for this.

I’m “only” 5’7” but have the same issue. I often have to buy tall pants and occasionally hem them but usually they’re fine. Totally the opposite of when I was a teen (90s) and had to hem everything, especially jeans.

I’m an inch shorter and even I have to buy pants in Tall lately. Otherwise they are above the ankles and look terrible.

I’m 5’4” and don’t even have long legs and recently bought jeans in Tall for the same reason.

Ha, I'm 5'3" and I love the cropped trend because they fit me like regular length, and I no longer have to get jeans hemmed.

Yup. I'm not sure why a PP keeps repeating that "multiple trends can coexist." Well, obviously. But that doesn't mean that everything is in fashion and nothing is dated. The skinny jeans outfit the other PP described is dated, and she sounded a little proud of that. You're not evolved for bucking trends. You are just no longer into fashion.

Trouser jeans and loafers. Definitely a different look than the last 10 falls!
