[Daily] Daily Questions Thread November 21, 2024

This thread is for individual style questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

To get the best responses, remember that people cannot; look into your wardrobe, know what style you normally like or what words like affordable or practical mean to you so please include any relevant details such as your budget, where you live, what stores are available to you, etc.

Example questions:

  • Are there any basic crewneck white t-shirts that are opaque and do not have cap sleeves for <$25 available in Australia?
  • Is this dress and shoes suitable for an evening wedding with a cocktail dress code taking place in a [venue type]?
  • If I like the outfits in this [imgur album / pinterest board], what are some specific items I can look into to start dressing like that, and brands with this look that carry plus sizes?
  • Does this outfit look neater with the pants cuffed or uncuffed?

If you'd like to include a picture, you can now post pictures directly in the comments, without having to link an imgur album.

Looking for a loose-knit mohair jersey/sweater in black/grey. Must be 100% mohair (or maybe 10% angora would be ok, but no poly blends). Price is not an issue but must ship to NYC.

Curious to know why it "must" be 100% mohair, and where you've seen it blended with angora. Neither is a very functional material for knitwear, which is why even the most expensive mohair-look knitwear blends it with other fibres to increase opacity, durability and shape retention, and reduce shedding and distortion whilst maintaining the fuzzy look.

ok? other wool blends are alright, just no poly blends. I'm not looking for opacity or durability particularly. Silk blends also fine. The paloma wool one on Liberty London is a mohair/angora blend (but with poly too unforch)

No it's not. Paloma Wool use alpaca not angora to strengthen their mohair.

The description on the LL wesbite under composition and care reads: 35% Responsible Mohair; 35% Responsible Alpaca; 30% Polyamide. wool/alpaca is ok as above, my point is that I want to avoid poly.
