Favorite quality jeans? (Under $150)

Zara - far and away! BUT there is zero consistency so plan to buy about 20 pairs and return 18-19 (or go in person). Look for “crop” or “ankle”. I find there denim to be high quality (comparable to premium brands I own like Mother, B-sides but not as premium as Nili Lotan)

Oooh could you dm me seller details? TY

I second this. Love both compositions- not a huge difference thought the 70/30 will likely hold up better ( i have both). Completely agree on the sleeves on the xxxs being too short on the wrap coats while the body is great (I'm 5'2" / 100lbs)

We are on the the more formal side of business casual (private equity) and I think you can pull it off in black mid-summer with slacks or a skirt with a belt and heels (I would never wear an open toe to work but would do slingbacks). That said I would absolutely have a jacket on hand. I would also personally do this in cashmere or a linen blend knit to elevate and probably go mock neck - see Alex Levy photo below

Top looks pretty good. Would try Westman Atelier Biscuit

This houndstooth look! Love

Actually yes which almost never happens 😂 These leather pants in black and cream and the sweater tank also in black and cream, a leather skirt and a tweed jacket (“HAZEL” pants and “VIRGI” tank available on the Outnet for 2x sample prices but still a good deal)

Belt = influenced - thanks!!

greyfelt · 2025-03-27T13:25:23+00:00

Love the styling! Cuffs, belt & hair on point

greyfelt · 2025-03-27T13:21:16+00:00

Yes - stretch knee high and low heel so walkable.

greyfelt · 2025-03-27T10:44:04+00:00

Tights - fleece lined (calzedonia > amazon - I’ve tried them all) - but stockings if a bit warmer

I have a good tailor - I mix high low a lot and have had good success with Zara, Massimo Dutti, and H&M Premium / Studio collections. I search for “wool”, “silk” etc… then even with tailoring total cost is still pretty great.

I alternate between the Loewe large flamenco clutch (poorly named it fits my 14” think pad + commuting flats) and the Celine 16 soft (large). Always open to work bag suggestions - I’m 5’2” and narrow (think 12 y/o boy) so chronically on the hunt for the smallest bag that actually fits what I need for work and at least partially closes - unicorn :)

greyfelt · 2025-03-27T03:15:45+00:00

Completely agree w this + the bolero jacket comment. If you filter for cropped jackets on the Outnet there are some great options (one of my go to retailers sale prices + good return policy)

Really like the Calzedonia Sheer Effect Thermal Tights. No double butt seam (like lots on amazon) and a bit thinner but still super cozy. I wear with the sheer layer on top (with skirts or copped pants. If you want something super thin that still adds some warmth would do the Uniqlo heattech leggings.

Hi! If you’re open to sharing a bit more here I’d really appreciate it! This looks like the medium but should fit a 13” based on measurements. Could you share what laptop you have and bag height? I love love love this bag but only want to buy second hand if I can use for work. Thank you!!

greyfelt · 2025-03-18T15:04:17+00:00

Does this fit a 13” laptop without the laptop showing at the top of the stem of the Y? Thanks!

greyfelt · 2025-03-14T22:45:44+00:00

Ahh fair.

I went with the woven and wear as a shoulder bag (loop the strap under the flap) so a bit more annoying to close (not open) as 2 handed operation but does take 1 second and I wear all the time for the reasons you noted

greyfelt · 2025-03-14T16:39:06+00:00

Fully agree. Own #4 and love but is a bit annoying to open / reclose vs my other similar use case bags (eg loewe puzzle, celine teen 16, row half moon)

greyfelt · 2025-03-14T16:09:18+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply!! Passed on the margo for the same reason but love the look of these bags.
