It’s not about being stuck in some rigid dress code—you can show up to court in sandals, heels, or even colorful flats, paired with a knee-length skirt or patterned tops... or even suspenders and sheer fabrics, or a short coat. You don't have to stick strictly to "classics" just to look professional and polished. Just don't go overboard. Unless, of course, they demand strict adherence to the rules. Though, honestly, I think those outdated business etiquette standards should be updated too. I don't know how I'd survive having to wear closed-toe shoes in the middle of a summer heatwave—with or without socks😱
. Of course, the men around here love to point out that if they can handle shoes, socks, and ties, we should be able to do the same!😁

Plus, they just make you look heavier than you actually are.🙂
Clothes should be tailored—not baggy.🙂

I still have some old pieces of theirs—including one jacket and this gorgeous long coat that looks brand new 😍—and they were worth every penny. But the size tags have completely worn off from age 😬, so now I’m totally lost on how their sizing works. I know it runs larger than US or European sizing, but I can't quite remember by how much.
I found a (nearly) neutral jacket 😍 at a decent price (wish it was a little more pressed, but it should be fine). Honestly, I don't trust those online size charts—every time I follow them, everything ends up being way too baggy—so mathematically speaking... maybe H&M plus one size or two? I can't remember anymore. 🤷
If I recall correctly, I used to order one size up from my usual US size.🤷
Lately, I've mostly been shopping at 3 Sisters, and I always go one size up there too.😁
