/fa/ - Fashion

do you think pic related is true?

Very important. A fit will look better on an attractive person than it will an unattractive person.

70 percent. You can look fashionable even if you're not very attractive, but at the end of the day, if you're attractive, you'll pretty much look good no matter what you wear, unless you're actively trying to look like shit.

>>6627584
its more important than being attractive really

>>6627586
>>6627587
i was thinking more like "does wearing unconventional clothes require an unconventional look/life?"

>>6627597
this is what i'm thinking too, a goofninja look on a skinny urban 18 year old isn't really going to look good

>>6627584
>it requires the wearer to not be a pale, fat-faced, child who can't even shave yet
ftfy

>>6627606
yeah for styles that are out there and different the look of the person and the vibe they give off is most important, a 9/10 pretty boy model cant pull off gothninja like a really badass looking guy who owns it and lives that rick life


for simple outfits simply being good looking is most important (eg jeans and t shirt)

>>6627606
It requires confidence and comfort in what you're wearing.

>>6627632
waiting for twerk to come in and prove this fuccboi wrong

>>6627597
yeah thats why u never look good becuz u buy clothes and just wear them in ur mirror and fit pictures lol

pussy faggot

>>6627632
Wrong.

>>6627632
does this mean that that pretty-boy model can never really pull off gothninja? how can he change himself to better pull off gothninja?

>>6627650
>>6627646
>>6627651
why don't you post your own opinions? you can think for yourself and post accordingly

>>6627664
My opinion is that Matt's response is wrong. How dumb are you to not see that?

>>6627679
are you going to back up your opinion? it's very easy to have a light conversation and not throw out insults

>>6627651
yeah pretty much
why virtually all the best fit pics arent mirror selfies

even bai's fits wouldnt seem so sick if he lived in a grotty ass room
its because he's living dat life
thats why people post his pics in insp threads

>>6627648
basically uve gotta look like your style is congruent with your lifestyle for it to look natural and pull it off properly

>>6627584
absolutely

>>6627700
Right, because all of Rick's models lived hard lives.

>>6627700
yah this makes sense to me, it's all apart of how of you want to express yourself

>>6627700
>even bai's fits wouldnt seem so sick if he lived in a grotty ass room

>>6627705
they look like they do, do you think everyone dresses the way they do because of their lifestyle?
you can make it seem like you have an unconventional life by emulating people that have unconventional lives. it's what people often refer to as "posers"

>>6627705
not my point
he casts models that look different and makes them look pretty bad ass

he woulnt cast francisco lachowski with a pretty hair style

basically he wants them to look like they have but most people who have had hard lives arent male models

>>6627718
yeah most fashion is all just part of dat lyfe in a grander sense

>>6627732
You'd be a bigger poser if you chose to "dress unconventionally" because you live an unconventional life. People wear what they want because that's what they find attractive and that's what they feel confident in, regardless of what kind of life they live.

>People wear what they want because that's what they find attractive and that's what they feel confident in, regardless of what kind of life they live.
this isn't the case on /fa/ where people are constantly being told to cop geobaskets, rick owens, and whatever

>You'd be a bigger poser if you chose to "dress unconventionally" because you live an unconventional life.
it depends on how that "unconvential" person developed their taste

you're partially right but it depends on how and why people develop their taste

>>6627740

rick doesnt cast models FYI

authenticity is fucking trite

>>6627787
Why?

>>6627787

u dont look good in rick because like user said u have been thru no struggle, ur just a mummy/daddy boy lol

>>6627787

are u stupid

>>6627750
not really someone who works as a loan manager 9am-7pm everday, lives in alderley edge with his wife and 2 kids then dresses in full gothninja on weekends would most prob look like a poser and would pull it off way worse than someone who lives in a bauhaus city pad and chills with with people who do the same


>>6627781
yeah lmao i know, not directly, but they cast with his brand image in mind

>>6627791
authenticity begins and ends at wearing what appeals to you; extrapolating further is just trying to establish your authenticity by insisting that other people do not have it, so that you can pretend that the clothing, which you had no part in designing or making, has a higher barrier of entry than having the money to spend on it and the body to fit in it.

it's the fuccest of boi responses to justin bieber wearing your favorite designer.

Physical appearance is 80% style and attitude

There's a certain look people have when they're not very social that just ruins fits. That guy (think his name is koch?? pale, symetrical face, black hair) ruins that moon-core fit because of the way he looks despite being attractive

People that aren't social also seem to overly put things together that should be putting themselves together

If you want to rock your style and you're like most of this board, unsocial/no edge, honestly pick up a drug habbit. Any drug

>>6627750
So if you dress like a grimey drug dealer while living like a grimey drug dealer, you're a poser

Fix your logic fuccboi

But yeah, dress what you feel comfortable in

>>6627787
>authenticity is fucking trite

>>6627815
Stop trying to make prerequisites for wearing and looking good in certain clothing. It makes you pretentious in all the wrong ways, and makes you appear incredibly stupid.

>>6627832
neat autism

>>6627833
80% style attitude AND body type

>>6627814
dont deny your gut

you know it makes a difference

fashion is more than just the clothes on a body in a vacuum

>>6627833
coke is probably the coolest drug, its gritty and edgy

i used to be a heroin fan myself but its too dangerous and who wants to be a smackhead?

>>6627841
Certain people can rock anything
It's not lifestyle so much as attitude. If you have a 'street attitude' you can rock anything from patrician wear to full goofnukka, though the same couldn't be said in reverse for some reason

>>6627837
cool buzzword

>>6627833
Why don't you work on your reading comprehension first, faggot? Where was that implied?

>>6627841
Also, it was you I was talking about in
>>6627833
You look autistic

>>6627853
search your heart

you know it to be true anon

>>6627832
>nerd trying to justify his shitty goofnigger fits because he just realized hes just a trendhopper

>>6627832
clothes can still look good on a hangar

but to really hit the spot everything has to align, the clothes and the person wearing them

im not being pretentious

>>6627854
sniff glue its /fa/ as fuck

>>6627863
okay fuccboi

>>6627869
>but to really hit the spot everything has to align, the clothes and the person wearing them
this

how do you guys not see it

>>6627841
>fashion is more than just the clothes on a body in a vacuum

this

>>6627841
you responded to a refutation by repeating yourself.

>>6627815
alderly edge is such a shit place, nothing there

give me my small as fuck late 20th century built factory workers house anyday. alderley edge has no personality at all

>>6627872
I don't have any goofninja pieces. Stop trying to project, turbo nerd.

>>6627859
>if you chose to dress unconventionally because you live an unconventional life
Should a grimey drug dealer cop mensweaar then?
(I'm mostly just giving you a hard time)

>>6627854
I feel like herowin is a lot cooler
But there is something about blow. Even when I was depressed with major social anxiety, I felt fucking cool

not sure how to deal with nose damage though. you'd have to turn to crack

>>6627787
I agree.

What you wear should be based solely on an aesthetic. I do not believe that experiencing certain events/living a certain way entitles you to wear different clothing.

As for whether it looks better on more "authentic" looking people, I would say that it does. They seem to carry themselves differently. That pic of the fat guy wearing goof with his crew is a good example.

>tfw we don't have any edgy cyberpunk societys with high tech and low life so i can rock techwear and run from the cops and join futuristic street gangs

>>6627884
nahh b its "profoundly unwise" to fuck with crack
i mean its something about the comedown that makes it so addictive
i think mild opiates or coke are definitely the way to go

under no circumstances fuck with marijuana, it will turn you into a fucking retard

>>6627895
>implying you could run from cops

>>6627885
the fat guy was both the best looking and, as i understand, works at owenscorp in some capacity.

Hey guys, you need to be in the navy or a sailor to wear and look good in peacoats.

Hey guys, you need to be a lumberjack to wear or look good in plaids.

Hey guys, you need to own and use a boat to wear and look good in boat shoes.

Hey guys, you need to be a coal miner to wear and look good in denim.

Hey guys, you need to be James Bond to look good in a tux.

Hey guys, you need to "live a hard life" to wear and look good in gothninja.

>>6627880

I remember reading something about how most people have a realistic self and a fantasy self, and everyone projects and strives towards this fantasy self, with most forgetting the realities of their real self and the expectations that come with that.

People who live a sheltered life and/or live in the burbs have no business wearing unusual clothes. You white boys look out of place in that just go back to wearing Hurley and quicksilver

>>6627908
outdated argument and not relevant to the discussion

>>6627885
>I do not believe that experiencing certain events/living a certain way entitles you to wear different clothing.

>>6627903
>implying even a yohji model couldn't in the techy run-assisting future

>>6627933
>I have nothing to say to back up my retarded argument so I'll say the opposition is outdated

>>6627914
>implying people that live on the edge of society with little to no money to even sustain themselves can afford rick

If you would look good in a 3 piece suit as a 1950s business exec, you would look equally as good wearing it to community college, because the context makes no difference to how fashionable something looks.


logical right??

>>6627941
robots dont make you fit
go out and get ripped now so your ready
thats what im doing im not even a criminal yet

>>6627908
nah not really

more like

>Hey guys, you need to be a lumberjack to dress like a lumberjack.
>Hey guys, you need to be James Bond to dress like a spy.
>Hey guys, you need to "live a hard life" to wear and look good in gothninja.

>>6627908
it can still look 'good'

but i would look worse dressed like a lumberjack wearing it to school and being a middle class british teenage than a bearded dude who was, or atleast looked like he actually was a luberjack


its not complicated

>>6627955

post a new pic of ur sister

>>6627958
lmao this aint modern couture nigga its future couture

>>6627969
Right, because "gothninja" is a profession/way of life, and not just a term coined by people on fashion forums.

Top fucking lel.

>>6627955
yeah, it's like imagine a wedding where everyone turned up in hawaiin shirts and had public enemy blasting out. it wouldn't suit someone like prince william or something but it would suit the weird guy from round the corner who keeps a telescope under his pillow for 'emergency purposes'

>>6627978

Obviously, that's why people say to dress your age

>>6627955
i think it's more about having the sensibility to know how the pieces work

rick owens wearing his own clothes looks better than just beiber wearing rick owens because rick owens knows how his clothes are supposed to fit, how they work

i think we all have pictures of how what certain aesthetics are supposed to look like

>>6627992
Your sister is so much more attractive than you are.

>>6627981
it looks like a way of life is a part of it >>6627815

>>6627568
Stop wasting time on writing things you want to hear and start getting fit OP.

>>6627979
that's probably because some clothes are actually a uniform, as opposed to rick's clothes (despite what he says about it practically being a uniform)

>>6628001
matt's dad is a qt

>>6628000
still sort of dodging the point

so if the 3 piece suit was tailored perfectly it would look good in community college?

>>6628001
i got the brains tho

>>6627992

damn

post another one

ignore >>6628001

>>6628011
yeah i see what you mean, the "context" does matter but it's not like we can actually use the context to judge someone on the internet

>>6628011
make a video of this pls like the one you did on slut shaming or whatever it was about

>>6627994
lol
yeah


i guess guys when like >>6627885 laugh at pics like that one of the dude in the suit and fedora in class, they're laughing at the fact the pocket square clashes and the sleeves are too long

>>6628016
kk

>>6628043
any her friends hot?

>>6628043

she turns me on

post another pls

>>6628034
yeah, well usually

thats why the most popular inspiration pics are usually more than simply the clothes and showcase the lifestyle to some degree

sick fit + matching lifestyle = dat lyfe

same with dadcore, workwear and all styles really

>>6628062
definitely, you can see it in this picture too

>>6628043
why do you have all these pics of your sister saved

>>6628073
>japanese streets
wot

>>6628045
talking about what? u mean the shit im talking about itt?

maybe if im really bored lol

>>6628056
not really tbh
she doesnt really have many friends though lmao i mean she fuckign watches anime and shit


>>6628070
on a laptop which we both use not my desktop
whole folder of her phone pics and shit


>>6628073
yeah you can see it in virtually all insp pics to some degree, sometimes its super obvious eg in my last post, or sometimes less so

ops pic is a good example 2

>>6628102
What anime does she watch?

>>6628102
yeah, could be useful for the /fa/ sticky

>>6628102
she looks like she has lots of friends, the type to have a following of about 20 people that like her pics and call her gorg or reem

anime is 4 children

>>6628078
It's a japanese brand for mori boys. Trove I believe.

>>6628128
yeah it's trove

>>6628130
also requesting video on how important physical appearance is when trying to be /fa/

as important as the clothes
but that's not to say that ugly people can't look good in clothes

>>6628115
lol, ive never watched any anime so i have no idea i just see it when i go past her room

probably some pleb anime idk lol

>>6628045
where can i find this

when you're pulling off advanced stuff, you just have to be 'different' i guess from the rest of the crowd

if you're white, you just have to be more attractive or like "out there" i guess, like you don't have to be weird just something that separates you from a pleb tourist in a crowd for example
if you're black or asian the privilege can work towards your favor, but the amount of privilege being a minority actually holds in the /fa/world is grossly exaggerated

there's confidence, charisma, proportions, body type, complexion, all this bullshit that factors into the /fa/ quotient and all have varying amounts depending on the style you're going for
but I think the most important part is looking put together (being you, projecting to the world what you want others to see you as because it is you), like you didn't just copy what you saw on the internet, and confidence

my thoughts

u still hear brah?

what are you planning to do. i used to (literally) run from cops almost every weekend when I was 14. some would be all night chases, needing to wait in a field until the scanner told me they started changing shifts

plan on getting back into it, for profit this time

>>6627584
how can i be more authentic?

like im not gonna get some tats or anything

>>6628180
not that guy but i used to write graffiti, i know what you're talking about. miss those days tbh, good fun. kept me in shape too

ive been posting with the wrong trip lol

its still me

>>6628135
lol okay, i might do it then but im not really an authority

>>6628121
ahaha nah i doubt it
ive made her very cynical and aware of the usual annoying tendencies of teenage girls, it means ive had to be mean to her at times but it also means now she respects me quite a lot

so she isnt the sort of girl who comments 'your beautiful xx' on girls photos in order to get complimented back, or pretends to be dumb in school, because i explain to her why girls do that and how it is subjugating and validation seeking. she agrees with me that women tend to naturally subjugate themselves to men and that in order to be taken seriously as a person a girl cannot 'leak' her sexual energy, looking slutty and hot and being seen as a person with dignity and integrity are mutually exclusive

>>6628157
like the video :-DD

that video only had like 1 dislike until i posted it on /fa/ :(

>>6628208
you seem like a true bro, literally

>>6628184
if you have a genuine liking for what you're wearing it's okay, don't worry about what other people think of your style

>>6627833
>overly put things together that should be putting themselves together
what do you mean by this?

>>6627851
what is a "street attitude"?
