You can get cheap clothes hemmed to fit and have them look way better than some off the shelf high end stuff most of the time

385$ for a blue crewneck is a scam and you're an asshole if you buy into it

>> No.10376921

Most brands/retailers don't anticipate moving a bulk of their product at the actual MSRP. The MSRP is the high point where things will be more likely to sell as it's marked down.

>>10376842

This is wrong. There's nothing special about these 'high-end' basics to justify such a price. You could likely find a sweater/pants with very similar measurements and fabric composition in a fast fashion place for like 10% of the price.

Are u shitting me nigga

First, u can get a fit like that for less than a 100$ (at least in my shit third-world-country)

Second, u posted the absoulte worst of said "vibeless, unispired, drab, monotone horse shit lookbooks", I mean the vomit-inducing color matching (which saddly happens quite often)

You can spend very little effort (both cash and imagnination) to look good in a simple configuartion. My general appearance doesn't let me explore some vivid looks without looking like a douchebag, so I stick to basic fair-enough-looking shit, saving both money and time. Step up, nigga.

you're making my point.

You can get clothes like this, that fit like this, with the same fabric composition, for much cheaper.

APC is a shit brand, thats my main point. And lots of normcore style brands are pushing expensive boring clothes and I'm fucking sick of it.

Agreed this is a shit boring fit. There is basic, which can be exciting and then there is boring.

On another note I've realised now that what you wear tends to reflect how your life is going. My life has recently become 10/10 so I am now unusually offended by this fit, more so than I am by people who just don't care

Wish people bought more stuff off runway here. I feel this isn't really much of a fashion board without this element. The pic just the generic outcome when no one engages with the exciting and novel aspects of fashion, i.e. what /fa/ does.

There is literally nothing special about the materials used in this sweater. If you're talking about some artisanal shit like Paul Harnden or Carol Christian Poell, I can understand and respect the varying textiles and textures incorporated. Not with some crappy made in the 3rd world cheap woolen sweater.

You could buy 3 pieces of a mid ranged brand and still save money.
Muh construction is moot when you're still fucked if you end up tearing it on something unless you send every waking minute inside looking at yourself.
