Welcome to the Fashion & Style Forum


What is the purpose of the Fashion & Style Forum?

This forum is for discussing fashion and appearance-related topics. From Parisian haute couture to the latest teen trends, hairstyle advice to make-up tips, this forum is the place to be.


What sorts of topics can be posted here?
  • Contemporary fashions/Subcultures

  • Traditional/Cultural fashions

  • Designers

  • Careers in fashion & make-up

  • Shows & conventions

  • Make-up brands & tips

  • Hair styling, trends, and products


What threads do not belong?
  • Threads about creating clothing and accessories are better suited to the Textiles and Crafts Forum.

  • Threads about Gaia avatar fashions belong in the Avatar Talk Forum.

  • Threads concerning cosplay belong in the Cosplay and Conventions Forum. Please note that Lolita fashion is only considered cosplay when basing outfits on particular characters or people.

  • "Rate me", "Hot or Not", "Could I be a model?" and similar appearance validation threads are not appropriate for Fashion and Style. Please post them in the Chatterbox Forum.

  • Threads concerning personal health issues, such as weight and how to lose it, belong in the Life Issues Forum.

  • Discussions on fashion-related shows, such as Project Runway and ANTM, belong in the Entertainment Discussion Forum.

  • Hangout Threads(HOTs) do not belong in the Fashion & Style forum. While we understand that large threads sometimes get derailed and off-topic chatter occurs, please keep this to a minimum. Threads containing excessive amounts of off-topic chatter may be moved to the Chatterbox or Friends Chat forum.

  • Fashion & Style is a discussion forum. Threads lacking sufficient content in the first post will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, yes/no questions, picture-post threads, simply copy&pasting an article and posts solely compromised of links.

  • Style counseling and similar threads offering advice are not necessary. It's great that you're trying to help, but when people would like advice about their appearance, they can make a thread to address their individual needs. Any threads offering advice will be moved to the Chatterbox.
    Note: Tutorial-type threads are not considered to be part of this rule.


Additional Guidelines
  • Trolling is prohibited. While mature and respectful discussions on fashion and beauty are allowed, hateful remarks based on age, sex, race, size, or fashion subculture will not be tolerated. Everyone has personal fashion biases, but these should not form the basis for personal attacks or hateful comments. Do not create a thread for the sole purpose of deliberately slandering or flame-baiting a particular fashion culture or group of people.

  • Please do not bump your thread unless it has fallen off the first page.

  • Posting in misplaced or TOS violating threads simply to inform the user is discouraged. Instead, please report the thread using the button.

  • Last but not least, Gaia's Terms of Service & Rules & Guidelines always apply.
