/fa/ - Fashion

No?

To start of with a classic, one that appeared on /fa/ first.

I'll also be berating you a little in one of my following points.

Forgot pic.

This is mamma död, an old trip that has moved on. His fits can still be found on his tumblr: rainserenade.tumblr.com

I like his fits because he manages to rock androgyny to such a successful degree that I'm still torn whether I want to have sex with him or just revere him as a walking work of art. One of the things you'll notice about him is that he isn't very tall, yet he manages to effectively play with his proportions in a way that do not make him appear like he's short. Often times, billowy stuff, when done incorrectly can seriously fuck up your proportions, especially if your shorter than 6 feet.

This is honestly a really good idea for a thread, the kind of discussion fa needs more of. Bump.

This is another one that I really like, although he's wearing stuff that's almost entirely black, it stays eye catching because of, again the proportions and the use of some interesting textures (his entire top half). I really like the use of tights + shorts, especially since the stop right at knee length. This covers up the proportions of his thighs, which would otherwise be accentuated because of his tights, making the whole outfit look incredibly feminine. Similarly, the length of his top covers up his hips as well, an shits his silhouette downwards, to create an elongated top shape, one that does not make his hips stand out, but instead creates a somewhat slouched silhouette that draws the eyes upwards.

Note that you'll be hearing proportion and texture a lot whenever I discuss fits, especially one's that are mostly black. This is because black clothing, or actually monochrome clothing in general, very good at placing the emphasis on the way that you're proportioned and the texture of your clothes.

I could be wrong, but I think being willing to try your hardest is one of the things that often marks a person with serious style.

It also probably makes it really hard to walk on the streets without turning heads, tho.

This is exactly the kind of alternative stuff I wanted to explore. And good tip on the baggy stuff. Good stuff, even if I'm a skinny fuck, who'd probably never attempt billowy anways.

>>10820806
Love the analysis. This guy really put some thought into his shots, huh?

>>10820806
Here's one that I like for completely different reasons. his clothes are simple, civilian, yet the details make this outfit nice for me. Especially the large cuffs, with the slim silhouette of the shoes gives it an almost Eastern vibe, which works really well with the thick, grey beard. What captivates me about this fit is the way in which American workwear is used for something that gives the aforementioned Eastern Vibe.

I agree, it does liken to India a bit, but I think it's mostly the beard doing it. The one thing that bugs me about is that his shirt and pants are so clean. I feel like it wouldn't hurt to have them be a bit used, but I guess that just comes with time. Nice shot.

>>10820848
Interesting choice of footwear and nail polish. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I really like the silhouette, though.

>>10820822
I hope so, I always attempt to look at clothing whilst asking myself what it does to my proportions. The all black clothing thing is a very old trick in the fashion book. And silhouette is essential in just about any pursuit that deals with images in an artful manner.

Now about billowy clothing, it's all about knowing where to end the garment, and "proving" you're not fat.

Moving on:
>>10820840
I like this one because it combines a lot of stuff that I dislike immensely and makes it into something that I really like. Also, the lady is very hot.

Let's start with something that I do like, contrast: she's obviously very pale, a dark top makes her look even paler and creates a very clear boundary between her body and the garments. this contrast also breaks up a colour scheme that would otherwise consist of a dark colour (the beanie) that fades into the colour of the jeans. Blue and black can work well together, this is well documented. It's also a bit boring.

Moving on, it's grungy inspired which is sooo 90's xD. The torn top and the converses, beanie and straight legged jeans are all grunge kid staples. Nothing special here, I personally dislike it a lot, because it gets done to death every single year. Same reason I don't like red/black plaid. Yet the fact that her haircut does remind me Kevin Smith's movies and the lack of jewellery does speak to me, and ascribes it some form of authenticity that I probably attribute to it unjustly.

The belt, just really fucking ugly mongrel of a stupid studded piece of cheap canvas. Yet it's an eye catch and it work, precisely because she's not wearing any other kind of jewellery.

The single cuffed non-functional cuffs. Works because of the previously mentioned gradient, and does a ton of work actually.

The converses, work due to the way they hug her feet and the high cuffs. As it creates an interesting silhouette together, going from the wide-ass pants legs to the slim sneakers.

For a newfag you seem chill OP
Anyway here's mine.Not a specific fit, but rather a style I've been getting interested in palewave recently most of the fits I see I usually like because of the colors,they give off a relaxed vibe and are easy on the eyes.
It also helps if the person wearing them has a laid-back personality.
Which I guess is another reason I've begun to like it since I'm like that.
Palewave's also pretty easy to pull off since you can usually make great fits with combinations of basic cheap clothing and no specific styles like you would need for a techware or military-core fit, but on the other hand you can also add on extra pieces to enhance it depending on your taste.

Glorious.

>>10820929
Thanks, bro. Not my first time on an image board, I have some idea of what etiquette I should go with.

I've been thinking of getting into palewave too. Ever since I saw the >palewave is kill? no! thread. I like the idea of lighthearted upbeat clothing. Fits certain occasions, and it's one of the styles I can claim to truly understand, so I'm thinking this could be my starting point.

>>10820926
Very interesting fit.

It's interesting what you say about the eye catch. I agree, it's really ugly, and I think if there wasn't such a perfectly flat stomach right above it, it really wouldn't be a good idea. As it is, though, it's pretty nice. I'm a sucker for chick's in beanies.

>>10820875
Yeah the beard does a ton of work. The cleanliness almost gives it this editorial vibe, which ruins lot of the authenticity. (Important concept. Which is why you'll be seeing a ton of /fa/ lifestyle threads on here among other garbage).

Proving you're not fat.
Being tall really helps here, since it's going to elongate the fuck out of your silhouette. Whenever anyone talks about a garment that drapes nicely, this is often due to it hanging from your body in a certain way. My main issue with being fat is that it ruins the way in which a garment drapes, instead of hanging off the body, the garment has to be pulled over it, ruining any pretty folds and prospects of having the garment move with your body. pic related, Shui Tsang (tumblr: http://shuitsang.com/)) is wonderful for illustrating drape. Notice how he proves how he's not fat using his wrists, hands, and of course face. The sleeves hang off his wrists, together with his bracelet, yet both have a significant gap in between. Note how it doesn't seem like the shirt is too big in any way, this helps with proving that shirt is meant to be billowy.

What I love about this fit is the simplicity of the colour composition (Black pants, white shirt, basic af), without any details in the clothing that seem to ruin this simplicity. It's all fabric that drapes nicely and does not contain any graphics, or distracting shit, allowing the folds to be a focal point. Yet, this fit isn't boring, because of tasteful placement of jewellery(for some a bit too much). I'd love to see this fit in motion.

I know this segment is a bit weird, but hopefully you get the idea. Gonna do some other stuff now. I'd like to see you post some stuff that you liked too, and express what it is that drew you to these fits. So get to it OP>>10820689
