Do you consider your style ahead of, on, behind trend or separate? - Topic of the day 7/10/25
We're not burying the lede, folks. Whatever your answer (ahead of trends, on trend, behind trends, separate from trends), what aspects of your wardrobe contribute to this? Is trendiness in clothes a positive or negative thing to you? (If you have contributed to such a discussion before consider sharing your opinion for the benefit of those that haven't.) *image credit @solthompson/[@pairofkingspod](https://www.instagram.com/pairofkin...
What Makes a Good T-shirt? - Topic of the day 7/9/25
A surprisingly complicated question for a relatively straightforward item of clothing, what does make a good t-shirt to you and who makes it? If it's quality, what specific things are you looking for (resistant to wear or to wrinkling, etc)? If it's visual interest, what is interesting (silhouette, cutouts, etc.)? If it's something else, then what? **Looking for direct advice on what t-shirt to buy? Search

Uniqlo - Topic of the day 7/8/25
Within the past decade Uniqlo has emerged as a one-stop shop for almost every clothing item, so much so it's become a meme in certain places (ahem). What are your thoughts on the brand in general? Any particular standout items (good or for bad)? Has it gone downhill in recent years, as some have claimed, or is the change in quality due to people's changed expectations?

Garments Inspired by Other Designers - Topic of the day 6/19/25
This Coat is by Engineered Garments for Fall 2024 That season had a ton of 80s avant garde inspiration (cdg,yohji,armani,cpcompany for surviving brands that most will be familiar with today) This particular coat is the "Zip Jacket". It's more of an eg coat than anything -- it's their "Loiter" shape with some interesting detailing with zips to allow alterations of the actual silhouette by the wearer (and in an entirely aesthetic way rather than for fit alteration). That said, it's clearly riffi...

The Case For/Against: Sneaker Loafers - Topic of the day 6/14/25
New Balance, Hoka, Converse, and other brands have dipped their feet into the sneaker hybrid ring. How do you feel about them? Are they the best of both worlds or do they lose out on the positives of either shoe? Are they better when resembling a loafer or resembling a sneaker?

"The Year Pride Went Beige": LGBTQ+ Activism Through Fashion - Topic of the day 6/8/25
For many, June is a time for showing solidarity for LGBTQ+ individuals through wearing rainbow-themed or other overt means, however, as The Business of Fashion reports, that may be changing as brands and retailers shift to more muted products and more reduced offerings. What are your feelings on this - do the potential benefits (less risk of being targeted in response, more "aesthetic", etc.) outweigh the potential drawbacks (less representation, more sanitized, etc.)? Does the method of support matter, and if so how does a brand (or person) reconcile that with their own personal style? These are questions meant to spark open and respectful conversation; please remember #rules 1, 3 and 6 when replying.

Hypermasculinity in Fashion - Topic of the day 6/2/25
