return to femininity

ms traditional · ‎03-09-2010

i am wishing that we could see a little more of styles of clothes, shoes, watches that emphasize a gal's feminine aspects. surely there are shoes that are less cloddish and still comfortable to wear with a lovely skirt, dress. to my eye, the look of a flowing skirt is done in by some of these heavy looking offerings i see 99% of the time here. also, not everyone wants a big fat face watch with a big fat band - fine for sport, but too mannish for an evening out. how about, at least, narrower bands, more bracelet type offerings. the boyfriend look seems a bit dated by now. just some thoughts.....

There are styles out there for everyone. If a more feminine look is what anyone likes then you can find it. I never liked the "feminine" look but while growing up and being a young adult, that was all that was there. Been there done that not by choice and don't want to do it again. Many of my friends dress more feminine and look great but that look is not for everyone.

I don't like dainty jewelry personally.

There are many choices and styles for people that do though.

I've never cared for the teensy feminine watches, with the numbers so small on the face, that you need a magnifying glass to tell what time it is.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

I have never thought that feminine meant dainty. There are so many styles out there, that range from "dainty" to "bold" and they all can be feminine.

I love bigger bolder choices. When I was younger, because I didn't want to draw attention to myself (low self esteem), I wore small jewelery and traditional choices. Then in my mid 20's, I got my self esteem and now I enjoy wearing unique pieces and bold jewelry! And you can wear a big bold watch for a night out on the town - many of them are not mannish.

I dislike some of these terms, because I find that it tries to diminish women who love a certain style as being less than feminine

just asking for more variety - i never said dainty. re the watches, a readable face with a narrower band would be nice. after all, that whole boyfriend style was a copy of the man's look as is a lot of the shoe look - we've had years of this - some of us would like to mix it up. i too like comfort = but would like something more aesthetically pleasing in tandem. putting out the challenge to buyers, designers.
