She can buy what she likes. I wouldn’t/don’t buy any of these clothes (or any trend I dislike) just because the Jewish instagrammers tell me I have to. Or did I when I was dating. BH I got married and so will she IYH

Knits are always nice. There's plenty of those. She can always wear last year's looks. With the rate fashion is going, we're always one step behind anyway. The fashion world in Milan and Paris is up to the next newer thing.

Why don't people go on websites of upscale stores like Neiman Marcus or net-a-porter to see what's in?

Genuinely wondering.

I also wonder that whenever I see threads like this, but then I just assume that what is "in" in frum communities may be a very specific subset of what is "in" in general.

Frum stores for children
Brown, greens, corduroy, velour, big collars on sweat tops and dresses. Ribbed. Chunky wool pullovers. Plaid/pleated skirts.

This, plus a lot of styles don't transfer well. Like if secular stores are showing a lot of flared jeans and cut out tops, frum stores won't have those things.

That’s true. Frum styles are different from regular styles.

Obviously you filter out what suits you.
