/fa/ - Fashion

first of all, never wear a fucking long sleeved striped polo unless you want to look like chris chan or something holy fuck

>>13430573
You'll look a hell of a lot better than the faggots on /fa/ who try to dress like Tyler the Creator.

But there are better guides out there. Read some stuff by Bruce Boyer if you're interested in dressing like a grown up. They even talk about him in American Psycho.

>>13430582
im getting chris-chan vibes off the whole guide desu

>>13430592
The fucking high school ring bit is a dead give away

>>13430589
Imagine thinking American Psycho is a good blueprint for any aspect of your life

>>13430573
no

>>13430589
Did you miss the part of American Psycho were brand whoring was more important than looks?

>>13430589
>dressing like a grown up

>>13430667
Imagine being a retarded faggot who doesn't realize that even a broken clock is right twice a day. The one nice thing you could say about Patrick Bateman is that he knew how to dress.

>>13430703
The average age of this board is about 17. OP's post strays from this. Instead of asking "How do I dress like an autistic man child?" he's asking about grown up things. I applaud him.

>>13430697
Read the book. He's constantly talking about the rules of men's style, not just name brand this and that.

I pointed this out last time, but here we go.
seriously who the fuck wrote this?
what man wears an engagement ring?

>>13430759
That's very common in eastern European countries, ignorant Americunt.

>>13430743
ive read the book. do you have any examples of him talking about style rules? all i can remember is rattling off brand names. i also think his views on fashion are as reliable as his views on music, or business cards. part of bateman's character is having wool pulled over his eyes by the social customs and tastes of his coworkers, or what pop culture deemed worthy. deeply analyzing phil collins and attributing this great artistic merit to it when bands like swans or big black were making music at the time is part of the tragi-comedy of his character. same with his obsession over armani when issey miyake and other designers were making more artistically rich menswear at the time.

>Two thousand abdominal crunches and thirty minutes of rope jumping in the living room, the Wurlitzer jukebox blasting "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" over and over, even though I worked out in the gym today for close to two hours. After this I get dressed to pick up groceries at D'Agostino's: blue jeans by Armani, a white Polo shirt, an Armani sport coat, no tie, hair slicked back with Thompson mousse; since it's drizzling, a pair of black waterproof lace-ups by Manolo Blahnik; three knives and two guns carried in a black Epi leather attache case ($3,200) by Louis Vuitton; because it's cold and I don't want to fuck up my manicure, a pair of Armani deerskin gloves. Finally, a belted trench coat in black leather by Cianfranco Ferre that cost four thousand dollars. Though it's only a short walk to D'Agostino's, I put on a CD Walkman anyway, with the long version of Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" already in it. I grab an Etro wood-handled paisley umbrella from Bergdorf Goodman, three hundred dollars on sale, off a newly installed umbrella rack in the closet near the entranceway and I'm out the door.

fucking kek, bret easton ellis is a genius though

>examples of him talking about style rules?

"What are the rules for a sweater vest?" Van Patten asks the table.
"What do you mean?" McDermott furrows his brow, takes a sip of Absolut.
"Yes," I say, "Clarify."
"Well, is it strictly informal–"
"Or can it be worn with a suit?" I interrupt, finishing his sentence.
"Exactly." He smiles.
"Well, according to Bruce Boyer–" I begin.
"Wait." Van Patten stops me. "Is he with Morgan Stanley?"
"No." I smile. "He's not with Morgan Stanley."...
"Okay, okay, go on," McDermott says. "Tell us more about Charles Moyer."
"Bruce Boyer," I correct him. "He was the author of Elegance. A Guide to Quality in Menswear." Then as an aside, "And no, Craig, he wasn't a serial killer in his spare time."
"What did Brucie baby have to say?" McDermott asks, chewing on ice.
"You're a clod. It's an excellent book. His theory remains we shouldn't feel restricted from wearing a sweater vest with a suit," I say. "Did you hear me call you a clod?"
"Yeah."
"But doesn't he point out that a vest shouldn't overpower the suit?" Van Patten offers tentatively.
"Yes…" I'm mildly irritated that Van Patten has done his homework but asks for advice nonetheless. I calmly continue. "With discreet, pinstripes you should wear a subdued blue or charcoal gray vest. A plaid suit would call for a bolder vest."
"And remember," McDermott adds, "with a regular vest the last button should be left undone."
I glance sharply at McDermott. He smiles, sips his drink and then smacks his lips, satisfied.
"Why?" Van Patten wants to know.
"It's traditional," I say, still glaring at McDermott. "But it's also more comfortable."
"Will wearing suspenders help the vest sit better?" I heapr Van Patten ask.
"Why?" I ask, turning to face him.
"Well, since you avoid the…" He stops, stuck, looking for the right word.
"Encumbrance of–?" I begin.
"The belt buckle?" McDermott finishes.

>>13430811
And yes, Bateman is a walking joke of a character. But Bruce Boyer is actually pretty well respected in his field, all jokes aside.

And I agree, Ellis is brilliant. He doesn't give himself enough credit. He's always talking about how his work sucks and he's ashamed he based the character of Bateman on himself. He elaborates a bit on this in Lunar Park, which is worth reading.

then why is a chart geared towards Amerifats including shit stain slavic traditions?

Jesus fuck, why do Americans 'sip' vodka? Seeing people from outside of Eastern/Northern Europe drink vodka pisses me off, it's not whisky or gin to sip it of fuck around with it. It's pure alcohol with water, you don't taste it, you drink your glass at one go, eat a pickle or a piece of meat and then decide whether to get another one or not for fucks sake.

>>13430573
good those striped polos are hideous. They either make you look like a child or worse a rugby obsessed chav.

>>13432607
In American Psycho, Bateman and the other VPs are drinking in almost every scene and doing coke every night. You can’t be slamming shots 24/7 and expect to survive the night.

how will it make u look like a black person the items listed on both "wear" and "don't wear" are literally just basic items anyone wears. ur actually fucking retarded if u dismiss items from either column

which is why u should be drinking something other than vodka unless ur trying to get hammered

>>13432666
>You can’t be slamming shots 24/7 and expect to survive the night
I believe that's exactly what they do in Eastern Europe

>>13436680
True, but /pol/, nor even the average person, are the type that can pull them off.

I think it's safe to say 90% of americans look like absolute goobers whose parents dressed them while wearing a polo.

>>13436686
Same goes for rugby shirts now that I think about it. Unless you're a male model with quite the build, it's safe to say most people look fucking retarded in a rugby shirt. They're not necessarily a fashion faux pas, but keep in mind this guide is intended for your average /pol/ user.

I think it's safe to say the majority of them are lacking in the looks and physique departments.

>>13436691
I've just realized I said "it's safe to say" three times in two posts.

Dude, fucking polo shirts? I agree one isn't going to look that great if you're significantly overweight, but there's very little that looks great if you're significantly overweight. And jeans? Come on.

They're utterly mainstream garments with no negative connotations for most people. It's fine if you personally think they look like shit, I don't even necessarily disagree (I don't actively hate them but I almost never wear polos or jeans) but don't go talking about how "most people can't pull off" fucking polo shirts as though it's accepted wisdom instead of your minority opinion.

Not that guy, but I agree wholeheartedly; they just took a bunch of base elements of ivy style and dished them out without any of the creative flair or fun that you can have with them.

One of the best aspects of prep is the ability to spice up seemingly simple pieces by adding cham (i.e. colorful socks, patterned ties, ribbon belts, loud sport coats) and bending the rules a bit to make it your own. This guide just wants to create a mob of bland automatons
