What length coats do you like best and think look the most flattering? I was wearing a black coat today that hits mid thigh (see example picture below) and it felt like the coat was cutting my legs off in a way that made me look short and not put together (I’m 5’4). Is a coat that is past the knees more flattering?

I think it depends on body type and height. If you have a longer torso or longer legs, also plays a role. I recommend trying different shapes and lengths to see what feels best to you. I don’t think there is one right formula in my opinion.

Past the knees can potentially overwhelm a shorter frame. Personally a fan of 3/4 (couple inches above the knee), but you might want to try some stuff on and see what feels right for you.

Whatever length keeps me warm. In my city that is either knee or ankle length in the middle of winter. A belted or otherwise cinched waist helps.

It also depends on what you're wearing under the coat, like the rise/cut of your pants and also boots or tights could all have a lengthening effect in contrast with the line of the coat. Agreed like others said that a longer coat may overwhelm a shorter frame

We’re starting to interview for my copywriter partner this week, but I don’t have any creative leadership above me (I’m also the only creative with agency experience at the company) so I’m nervous about being the only one looking at prospective partners.

Any tips for good questions to ask to feel out who is the best fit? I’ve worked with great and not so great writers in the past and it wasn’t always clear which would end up being the not so great based on their books.

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month.

But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?
