I look for edgy-tradition good quality comfortable clothing that speaks to me....I no longer buy leather products as my clothing has become a byproduct of my lifestyle.

Other than the obvious, it fits and is within my budget:

Colors, cool tones that are either extremely bright, very deeply saturated or very pale. Ideally black, wine or in the purple/plum family. White is ok as is olive. Pale icy pink is nice. No yellow, no dusty shades and no pastels.

Not too loose or baggy. I prefer clothing that skims the body, except for some tops.

I like a medieval or renaissance influence on some items. Long bell sleeves for example.

It has to coordinate with my shoe collection in some way.

No heels over 4 inches unless they have a substatial platform but it all depends on if I can walk in them.

Preferably pants that show some ankle, I like my shoes to show.

No turtle necks or raglan sleeves. I just hate the way they feel.

I avoid anything described as space-dyed, heathered, marled, or slub. I also avoid volume. I don't do pull on pants unless it's a legging. I love a true peplum

Tops that cover my butt

I wont by skinny jeans or leggings, had a couple of pairs and just never got into them and my ankles like freedom Also no to crop tops and anything that says 'bae' on it! I'm currently switching out all of my junior sized clothes into the misses/women's department and don't fit right in juniors now anyway. I absolutely love wide legs and flare styled jeans. I have a pair of Issac's 24/7 wide leg jeans on my wishlist, just waiting for it to go on easy pay.

I'm trying to get into jewelry and looking for some flats, I'm super wide footed in the front and very narrow in the back so like none of them fit right I'm usually a jeans and sneakers girl

I like a tailored garment, slightly fitted to ever so slightly fitted both top and bottom. I prefer classic colors, and will use floral blouses if the prints are smallish and the pattern placement is right. I like bootcut and straight leg pants that come up to just below the natural waist. I try and stay away from anything tight around the waist, like coats with belts or belts over tunics, even though I like the look on others. I hate the feeling of being constrained, so I also hate wearing bras, but I like the function, so wear one. I do not like the show of cleavage so look for things that avoid that. I will wear tight layering tops if they are soft, and launder without pilling as so many soft garments do. I will not wear anything that is very oversized because it doesn't look good on me personally.

Clothes have to be functional too. I avoid those things that I'll get very little wear out of, so they must be multi purpose for the most part, exceptions of wedding and formal wear, but they must do the above.

Tops/Dresses/Jackets/Coats

Prefer longer length tops.
Necklines. must cover my collar bone. No "V", scoop, square, etc.
No princess seaming in tops, dresses or jackets
No fitted clothing. No fitted bodices or defined waistline - I have a long torso - ready-made fitted doesn't fit me.
No pockets on side seams in coats, jackets or tops
No 3/4 sleeves - prefer long, cap or sleeveless, and I want my long sleeves to come down over my wrist..
Coats must come below my knees
Dress/skirts must come below knees
I look for items that are a bit different.

Pants

No fly front zippers on pants - side zip okay.
No pockets on pants
No boot cut pants
I love wide leg pants and palazzo pants.

Colors/Prints

No placement prints
No florals or other ditzy prints - prefer geometric or bold abstract.
Anything I buy has to fit into my clothing color palette.
I like "jazzy" jackets, scarves and accessories.
I enjoy embellishment.

Fabrics

I don't mind fabrics that have to be hand washed or dry-clean-only.

I look for machine washable only. I've had a bad experience at the dry cleaners & avoid it like the plague. I often avoid 'lay flat to dry' because my husband tries to help and will throw everything iin the dryer before I realize it. I try to put those items in mesh bags so nobody can miss it, but every now and then something gets ruined by mistake.

@Andreatoo

My husband has strict orders: Do not touch the laundry, period. Don't even think about it!!

If I got seriously sick, my clothes would be doomed.
