5 is so adapt I'm surprised you don't have something like it already
adaptation
adaptationOP3w ago
kinda just to wear it 4 is the only thing that really unlocks any kind of new idea in my closet (currently the shaping factor of my clothes is the dearth of good pants/bottom block garments) everything else just slots into the rotation at least rn - i can be suprised when stuff gets here and i can do cool stuff with it ofc
algoresky
algoresky3w ago
i don't love the first garm of a category being bought online and not returnable. on one hand would force you to accept it, on the more likely it might sit unworn if it's not Just Right (the image in your head)

Get the skirt

plyisytwy3w ago
I think you should start with a dark solid colored skirt The pleats are great tho
adaptation
adaptationOP3w ago
its a pretty easy garment to resell though because i wear a smaller size
plyisytwy
plyisytwy3w ago
But dark will kind of make it less overtly a skirt
thomas
thomas3w ago
Who cares? If you're going to wear a skirt wear a skirt.
plyisytwy
plyisytwy3w ago
Great point thank you

thomas3w ago
It sounds like they already are comfortable wearing skirts anyways so might as well get one in a pattern they like. Imo.
plyisytwy
plyisytwy3w ago
I think as far as wearability goes it have ambiguity as a bottom works in that favor He doesnt own any and hasnt liked any he tried on so far
thomas
thomas3w ago
@adaptation If you do want something solid you can look for pleated comme skirts. They go cheap on TRR all the time.
adaptation
adaptationOP3w ago
the long belt strap is hard to see in the photos bc it gets lost in the pleats but its the detail that sold it for me goes down to like the knee so sick

thomas
thomas3w ago
@plyisytwy yeah idk it's just that I own and wear a lot of skirts and what got me into them was finding unique ones that I really liked. the first skirt I owned was actually a pretty basic pleats please skirt and I never wore it because it didn't really have any of the drama or flair that drew me to that style of garment in the first place. so perhaps I'm just projecting my personal experience but I would actually opt for the out there one.

look if you really like the skirt and see some outfits in your head you use it in go for it i don't love that idea as said but it is a cool skirt but make sure you have multiple outfit ideas for it

okay after doing some thinking given that im balling on a budget i can afford to be more selective than buying stuff just because its cool and id wear it like i should probably be either in love with the item or it should fill a need in my closet the skirt is the closest on both counts but im not sure its there on the first
Smiles
Smiles3w ago
you need to figure out a photo set-up i think it would help everyone else understand your style i think and help make more informed reccommendations anyway and ya college student shoestring budget is a limitting thing but smart to realize you don't need to consume
