/fa/ - Fashion

>Now I just buy stuff that's good.
Why didn't you do that before

>>6763204

>following trends on /fa/

Most of /fa/ dresses the same or like shit.
You can follow trends all you like but you will always be a fuccboi until you establish your own style.

People were all over cps now I actually hear people making fun of them.

>>6763303
cps were great shoes before they were hyped on /fa/ and they still will be when /fa/ hates them, so what?

>>6763213
Because my taste was atrocious... So I needed someone else to dress me.

>>6763303
Really? I prefer the Svensson all whites anyway...

there is nothing inherently wrong with CDB, they're just very popular and people tend to use them as their only pair of shoes. so they give off a vibe that suggests that you got desert boots to satisfy all your shoe needs. but they're not bad shoes.

there's nothing inherently wrong with boat shoes either. it's just the extreme popularity (particularly with the 'bro' crowd) and the generally low quality of Sperry that makes them seem like pleb shoes. a good pair of boat shoes can still look good with the right fit and weather.

As for Red Wing, I don't know that they've been given the same treatment as CDB or boat shoes. For one, they'll never be the next CDB because they're more expensive. For most "normal" people, the most they'd pay for shoes is in the 100-200 range. So while they have picked up a considerable degree of popularity, it's nothing compared to what Sperry and Clark's get.

It seems like most of the hate for the shoes' shapes comes from people who expect Red Wing to be something else. Like people who bought the Iron Ranger thinking it would be a sleek classic boot and weren't prepared for a chunky-looking work boot. Then there's people who hate moc toe shoes/boots no matter what. I don't know that people are all suddenly 'realizing' that Red Wing shoes look a little funny, I think a lot of newcomers are just not noticing it, and then when they do, they feel they dodged some kind of bullet or accidentally bought "clown shoes". Nothing wrong with Red Wing anyhow

>>6763453
also, as is the case with all three, /fa/ posters have a tendency to think a piece is inherently un-/fa/ after seeing a few bad fits with them. it's way too easy to find bad fits with boat shoes, clark's, or red wing. eventually their mind makes the link that "iron rangers = ironheart forum sperglords". Is that going to happen to Common Projects? I don't know, but at current prices, I doubt it.

Most of the problem lately is that the urban streetwear and Rick lovers are just louder than everyone else, and flood threads about anything they don't like. There are still some of us here that wear CDBs, Red Wings, etc

It used to be that /fa/ could talk more than one style at once, and people mostly stayed out of threads about styles they didn't like. It was basically MFA but mean, and it was much better that way.

is op's pics correct? why?

>>6763542
If the shirt goes over your crotch it looks like you're wearing a dress

>>6763542
Yeah. You don't want to wear a shirt untucked if it completely covers your crotch. Untucked shirts should end mid-fly

>>6763579
>>6763589
wow
cool
my mom gifted me some shirts a week ago and i wasn't sure about the cut at the bottom

thx

>>6763589
i personally like a longer cut casual button shirt, i think its becoming more popular too lately

>>6763204
It's your fault for blindly following posts here instead of lurking, studying, and then cultivating your own style.

I don't know why DBS were ever in, very very few of them are nice and the shoe overall feminizes a males figure with it's graceful elf like silhouette

CDBS are fine, no one complains unless you can't find a fucking tailor

red wings were never a nice silhouette, massive clunky toe, 'classic' inspired colourways. they were hyped and looked nice on the internet, novice /fa/ggots and MFAers alike bought them, and them along with those of us privy to WAYWT posts began to realize that they don't work on any of the currently popular trends as they're more of a vintage/workwear styled item, and that there are less clunky, nicer coloured alternatives that fit a larger range of styles at varying levels of quality (higher and lower). Other less discerning fashionistas were left behind (MFA, parts of SF)

Boat shoes are alright, but some people can be purists, "don't wear it if you don't intend to use it how it should be used",
>implying basically every shoe design was not originally designed for a specific purpose but casualness and demand have watered down those traditional designs to the current market the market.

you have to filter /fa/ for what it's worth to support your developing fashion; concerning yourself with all the fads or listening to everything you hear here can diminish your confidence in what you have, at the end of the day you have to take your own path, the lesson to learn is not everyone will ever be satisfied with you, and that everyone secretly enjoys watching others fail from time to time.

>>6763542
dadcore bullshit

>red wings were hyped and looked nice on the internet
yeah we were all really excited for them to drop in 1905

>>6763772
lol

>>6763617
don't forget to also obsess over the fit in the shoulders, the sleeve length, the width of the sleeve throughout, and the collar fit

>that feel when it's impossible to find a shirt that fits perfectly in every way

>>6763837
> impossible

This is exactly what I was talking about:
>and them along with those of us privy to WAYWT posts began to realize that they don't work on any of the currently popular trends as they're more of a vintage/workwear styled item
>began to realize ... they're more of a vintage/workwear styled item

I don't know how people got to thinking anything else in the first place.

If people just noticed in the first place that Red Wings have that look, and didn't expect them to be sleek (God knows why anybody did), there wouldn't be this "realization" that turned into a harsh reaction against a perfectly good brand.

>>6763867
>there wouldn't be this "realization" that turned into a harsh reaction against a perfectly good brand.

very true, I think at some point there was a boom of users across the boards, /fa/ and /fit/ particularly, where there was a lack of knowledge about how a silhouette worked or general lack of education that lead to their popularization.
I have nothing against the style or company, and a lot of people are still satisfied with the product.

>>6763336
>Svensson
w2c in murica?

>>6763589
I have a few OCBD that ends justtt past the end of the fly (not low enough to screw the silhouette tho, i'd say maybe 3/4 of an inch lower than the one if the bottom of the pic), should I shorten them a bit or is it just not worth the hassle ?

>>6765434
Probably not worth the hassle, if they're just barely too long it'll look ok as is

I think it's because /fa/'s rough guideline got reposted on MFA and /fa/, not unlike the rest of 4chan, has disdain for anything Reddit related. Additionally fashion trends do change, I'm not even sure what the status of snapbacks is beyond I only see white guys wearing them at my college and black guys seem to have moved on. Same with baggy pants

What is new and exciting today is played out tomorrow, I think if you're a beginner you should just invest in some timeless basics. T shirts are still acceptable, right?

>>6763204
I still like peacoats

>winter 2011
>chip mccormick (I know, but the only mag that would NOT intermittently jam in my shit tier RIA 1911)
>keep magazines in peacoat pocket, perfect width of 2 mags

So are peacoats just unacceptable now?

>trends change

oh boy cheers for telling me this I was sure that wig I bought when I was an eighteenth century fop was still fashionable to this day

>>6765539

Where can I get one that actually looks good then.

>fashion trends change

yeah thanks OP. what are you going to do, not buy clothes ever because they won't be in style some point down the road?

>>6765516
They're fine, it's just the streetwear and Rick kids that don't like them

>>6765499
>RIA 1911

>>6763303
People still like CPs

Boots don't look good. Ever. They are functional shoes for hiking and for working.

Stop wearing them fashionably it looks fucking awful and yes people do snicker a bit at you. Get chukkas instead.

>>6765655
chukkas are boots
chukka boots

I've somehow ended up with this on my doorstep every month. I hope somebody doesn't find it and think I'm plebbiest of plebs

>>6763837
There isn't such a thing as a perfect fit. Every fit makes a certain shape. If materials are casual and you wear it casualy (in a sense that you are not breaking the norm in situation where you shouldnt break the norm - like buissnies meeting, wedding...) you can play and have a lot of fun with all sorts of shirts. Even the ones that look like skirts.

>>6763453
explain more about the red wings please?

>>6763204
Why are you so insecure?

>>6763739

i've got ~250 to blow on footwear and I was going to get iron rangers but this post is convincing me otherwise.

might telling me what sort of less clunky boots i can get in the same pricerange? something that can be worn with skinny fit raws?

pls respond hardlystylin

>>6763280
who the fuck are you

>>6763542
no
it's a fair rule of thumb tho
if the shirt's too long it's also likely ill fitting in other areas that actually matter (shoulders ect)
>>6763336
>i needed to be dressed like a child
fucking shit, man. you're so fucking lame. why are you so fucking lame? did you even read the sticky? the whole part about developing your own taste as apposed to emulating outfits and trend on the internet like an autistic fag(average mfa/ /fa/ user). i mean why even make this thread, nerd? why should we give a fuck about your asspie gayboii adventures? why not just read the sticky like every non-retarded user here and not cry about trend hoppers?

get one with leather sleeves and tell me how it goes

it looks really clean. i remeber it was posted here once when this board was dadcore and heavy on peacoats. noone liked it and got mad at his nxt lvl shit.

>>6766963
the one i'm referring to wasn't the one some guy posted actually i just googled it and found and remembered the exact coat he posted and the thread.

>>6763204
Boat shoes have never been liked here. I've been on/off /fa/ pretty much since the board's inception, and I can assure you that the majority of people here tend to dislike boat shoes. I think they can work well in some fits, but I don't particularly like them either.

As for CDBs, honestly /fa/'s hate stems from their popularity and MFA. Way more /fa/ users cross post to MFA than any of us would like to admit, and most things trickle from here over after some time. There was a time, around a year ago, when the MFA logo was actually the reddit alien, in a CDB. Anything that popular on reddit cannot be liked on 4chan due to the basic relationship between the sites. CDBs look fine, just basic.

Red Wings were a niche piece that got trendy fast. People realized that they shouldn't really be worn all the time.

Why did none of you faggots tell me about the Redwing 2962 before? It's like the Iron Ranger without all the Ronald McDonald bullshit.

stop buying what /fa/ tells you to and start buying what you think will look good on you + goes with your current clothes

cdbs, red wings and boat shoes are viewed by /fa/ as dadcore - you were most likely rused

>>6768171
/fa/ used to be a lot more "dadcore" than it is now.
A few years ago this board was mostly poor former nerds trying to figure out how to dress themselves with varying degrees of success, as opposed to rich former nerds trying to be nxtlvl with varying degrees of success.

>>6768179
yeah I know it was a lot more dadcore, but im assuming this happened to OP recently, and the current views of those particular items are dadcore

the problem is that /fa/ isn't one entity with one opinion here.
there are people here that like each of those shoes and hate each of those shoes and all opinions inbetween
the people that dislike are just much more vocal for every case
