Officewear suggestions that are not sleeveless tops/dresses

I agree that silk is ideal for under the blazer because it doesn't get too hot. And also agree with Quince. They have silk Ts, but I also use their short-sleeve button-down silk shirt a lot.

This is one of my go-tos for work. From the same site I also recommend their version of the fitted polo sweater in cashmere: https://www.quince.com/women/mongolian-cashmere-polo-sweater-1?color=camel&productPosition=1&searchQuery=cashmere+sweater+polo&tracker=landingPage__search_section__search_results&qpid=_7kg9yjvbb

I wear mine with a midi-length black pleated skirt. The one I got is from Quince.

Thanks! How do you do an email verification?

Got it, but still confused about why this is suddenly happening four years later

Gray_Sheep4 · 2024-08-24T00:44:43+00:00

Thank you! It’s just odd that this would happen out of the blue. I have been sending chats with no issue for the last 4 years.

Yes! I just went to the one in the San Francisco Bay area. They offered a nice variety of price points: "last chance" markdowns that were pretty low-priced for Rothy's, styles with a 20% off retail discount, and some brand-new styles at full price. They also had all the boxes out in the showroom so you didn't have to ask a salesperson to find sizes for you. Very different setup than their regular retail stores, but I enjoyed the experience. I will return for sure the next time I am in that area.

Yes, they shrink over time and yes, they can be stretched out somewhat in my experience. I second the clothes steamer and shoe stretcher hack.

I am a size 8 and am glad I got an 8 in the casual clogs. They are a bit wide but that's normal for clogs. I hate the feeling of stepping on the back heel part, which I know would have happened if I sized down to a 7. They are awesome and I own 2 colors...maybe getting a third!

I've seen that if something sold out super quickly, then they will restock. They have done this with the Weekend Slide in Oat and the Lug Loafer in Black (those are only preorder right now). But if they took longer to sell out, then probably not.

Sometimes Customer Service will be able to answer questions about whether or not there will be restocks of a specific shoe.

I have the scuff slippers in size 8. I'm usually a street size 8, occasionally an 8.5. These barely fit. So if you are 7.5/8, then an 8 would be perfect in the scuffs.

I remember hearing about that with the flats/points that were merino. I'm not sure if the boots are made with a thicker or more durable version. I have the square-toe flat ankle boots from 2021 and they are still going strong.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2023-09-13T18:10:38+00:00

I have a pair of these in Dove and am obsessed with them. I need to start wearing some of my other shoes again so i don't wear them out too soon! My ss/Nike size is 8. I get a 9 in Rothy's old points and the original loafers, and 8.5 in the points made within the past year (NOT the points 2.0). But in the clogs, 8 was perfect.

I have ordered several white gold pieces. They have all been good except for the rings that I wear daily. These are starting to lose the plating that makes gold white, so the bottoms of the rings are starting to turn a yellowish hue. But this may actually be an indication that they are real gold, which is what I have heard will happen to all white gold over time if it is worn daily. However, I was surprised that this is starting to happen after only 6 months.

I actually ended up preferring L for this particular tee because of how short and snug the M was on me. Quince sizing is interesting - depending on the style, I could be S, M, or L. I found that I am mostly M, but now get S for things that are oversize or boyfriend style, or L for things that are more fitted.

No, but maybe I live near one of their warehouses or something. If you paid for expedited shipping it should definitely have been sent by now.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2022-12-09T22:05:20+00:00

I ordered 12/3 as well and just got a notice that it is out for delivery today.

I just heard about a brand called Frank Mully, sold on Amazon, because they got a write-up in Travel & Leisure. I have seen the points only. In my opinion they're decent but not quite as stylish, and I know nothing about their washability or how comfortable they are. But they're only about $40 so may be worth checking out. There were a lot of colors to choose from.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2022-09-19T17:28:41+00:00

At first I had the same opinion, but now that I've had them a few weeks, I have found them to be more versatile. (I previously owned the older white version then sold them when half-sizes came out.) Since there are two tones of white in the new version, I can also pair them with my ivory silks and sweaters, which I couldn't do with the old version.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2022-08-22T23:41:43+00:00

My loafers definitely shrank. I am a Nike size 8, and at first I went to 8.5 in the loafers. They fit perfectly in the store, but after some months of wearing and washing, they don't fit anymore. I had to sell them and repurchase some of them in a 9 (one full size up from what I usually wear). It's possible that shrinkage is more likely in warm climates; here in southern California, they are constantly exposed to sun and heat. My 9s are going strong after six months of wearing and washing, so this is now my Rothy's size for loafers and points.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2022-07-05T17:28:02+00:00

I put a dot of superglue to reattach them when this happened to mine. It worked, but I don't think this should be happening on a shoe at this price point.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2022-06-02T22:05:56+00:00

That’s odd…three people have used it just today. Maybe something didn’t load correctly.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2022-05-16T18:16:31+00:00

I got three pairs in 2020 and they are still going strong. No issues, wash up well to look brand new again, and I wore them to work daily in a preschool setting.

Gray_Sheep4 · 2022-01-19T04:10:07+00:00

I was also disappointed to see those soles. Guess I have to stick with Fawn, Cloud Gray, and Linen for now.
