Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Friday Fashion Tip: Wrong Shoe/Jacket Theory (lemmy.world)

Feeling bored with your wardrobe but don't want to spend money on new clothes? The Wrong Shoe Theory suggests pairing the most unexpected pair of shoes you have with your outfit to change the whole vibe. Examples include wearing flip-flops with tailored pants, combat boots with a summer dress, or bright colored loafers with a muted suit.

Wrong Jacket Theory works the same way, pairing things you wouldn't normally think go together, like a blazer with t-shirt and shorts, or a jean jacket with a nice dress.

Have you guys tried either of these? What combos do you like?

Yes all the time. For reasons I won’t get into, Crocs are my favorite shoes. I currently only own one brightly colored pair, but I want more to pair with more things. I’m tall with sort of silly proportions, so the sort of oversized, brightly colored shoes give a certain cartoonish look that I like.

I also do the jacket thing. I’ve got a “battle jacked” that I will wear over basically anything. It’s a denim jacket with this cool sheer panel in the back, and I’ve covered it in patches and pins. It’s got red spiked studs on one shoulder and some tastefully placed rips. I love it so much. It got lots of compliments at Pride last weekend.
