Okay, some of my recommendations get expensive, but you didn't state a *specific* budget... Also, my full page of recs leans towards more classic / ivy / tailoring, but there's a good mix, I think.

I’m going to assume ‘normal’ means things regular humans wear that don’t cost $$$$$$. I peeped some of the other recs and they had a lot of great options. Some broad thoughts:
• Thrifting is incredible...if you know what you’re looking for. It’s worth spending some time doing research / time in the stores feeling all the things yourself.
• GAP’s new creative department is incredible and they’re honestly the best all-around normal mall brand. Fits are great. Materials are thoughtful and rational (their linen stuff has been shockingly good).
• I am a loyal cultist to J Crew (and her younger, edgier, hotter sister in Madewell). The men’s department is currently way ahead of the women’s — SHOP THE MENS DEPARTMENT! This is peak era of women-wearing-menswear so abuse it.
• Everlane is good, their fits are hit or miss though. I’d say if you can go to a physical store try stuff on there.

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

I've been enjoying new clothes, and experimenting them with fun ways, so much lately that I need to keep reminding myself of this. Not every excursion outside needs to be fresh and new and experimental. If I am going out and I need a warm sweater and I need my sneakers and I already have a fit in mind with those pieces, I can just wear it, I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time.
