fuck off brandon

this is his best collection

op here
pic is me and rick

I'd like to turn to the president. He's a total dipshit, but honestly, he's pretty 'cool', and knows his bit about clothes. I like how the muted blacks of his suit give contrast to the piece his wife has on, and how the maroon of his scarf compliments his skin tone.

Speaking of which, I love how he wears it crossed under the suit, rather than wrapped around his neck over the jacket. I've copped this look a few times and got compliments every time.

All the vicious opinion flying around.

Here's another man who's clothes I'm fond of: Nikolas Lloyd.

He's mostly known as a historian and weapons-expert, and keeps this real cool youtube account, "Lindybeige", where he makes videos about - well - ancient things.

But he dresses marvolously: simple woolen sweaters and dress-shirts with up-turned collars (see picture). He knows the value of simplicity, knows he doesn't need to wear fancy shit to look nice. Moreover, he taught me that you can wear your collar popped and not look like a douche.

Nobody here needs a bullet proof overcoat. And hart staffer Marx sucks shit Obama just wears then because lol American

Next, another hero of mine: James Dean.

muscle-shirt, Levi's, windbreaker or leather jacket. Dean might not have invented this look, but he turned it into an American icon. It might seem overplayed nowadays, but it's really the standard when it comes to nice-looking causal.

i do not think it means what you think it means

Kanye West. Again, don't like him, but he knows how to dress.

I'm not sure what I like about this look, I think it's the mishmash of dressy and casual he's got going on here. The dress shirt and bowtie say "I care", but the leather, jeans, and fact that the bowtie is untied say "I don't". That's always the line you want to straddle: the objective of fasion is to look good without looking like you're trying to look good.

post another fedrora XD

Hey guess what, Kanye plugs rick and everyone else you'll hate on for being beyond your comprehension, shallow pleb.

Now, I'd like to turn to hairstyles.

HY is hyped-up, fad-tier garbage. It looks good on some faces and wasn't always shit, but fashion is about sending a message through how you present yourself. When you walk around with a HY, you associate yourself with other people who wear their hair like that. Do you really want people to think of you like that?

Here are a few alternatives as seen on a few of my favourite performers:

First up, we've got Christopher Eccleston. Buzz-cut. Classic. Utilitarian. It tells people you don't mess around, makes you seem much more masculine. It's also got the added bonus of having to pay less attention to your hair.

Next, we've got something a little similiar: Louis CK. He's balding, but he totally rocks it. He styles it right, puts on this air of maturity, and totally pulls it off. I suggest anyone balding here copy his example; you don't have to fear going bald, so long as you take the baldness gracefully.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, you've got the Mitch Hedberg. It tells people he doesn't care, and that he's more laid back. So long as you keep it not-greasy, It shouts to the world, "I'm modern, adventurous, and enjoy the wild side of life."

Finally, if none of these work for you, might I suggest the Don-Draper. Basically, the classic barbershop cut, it works at least okay on almost everyone.

im going to write this off as a troll thread because i simply cannot accept a taste this fucking generic

don draper, ck and dean? coming up: marlon brando!

Whoops, forgot caption.
Anyway, I picked this picture to show that:

a- Sweaters go well with almost any outfit, and

b- you needn't be affraid of something a little louder. Keep it subtle, but make people notice you.

>>7396694
Nobody here actually dresses like that. Nobody except for a couple tripfags and some anons that got trolled.

Why do you feel the need to fix /fa/? Have you not anything better to do with your time? Can you substantiate on your opinion of Rick Owens? You can barely explain why you like what you do.

There's a reason I'm posting this: I see people posting ugly shit like:

>>7396432
>>7384066
>>7387258
>>7388290

And many more.

>>7396694
if this isn't a joke thread I'm gonna need proof of you posting a fit so we can laugh you off the board and back to reddit

>>7396694
I bet this kid thinks sieg dresses amazingly and not boring as shit

>>7396885
save it for your blog you dull motherfucker

>>7396921
Why do you refuse to expand on why those pieces of clothing are ugly?

Like what you want but don't try and push it on others.
It might not make people comment, but they'll probably have a good chuckle at you behind your back.

>all these people not getting the joke
wow
c'mon /fa/

>>7396921
Whoa, people have taste that isn't identical to yours? What the fuck is up with that? Dumbfucks.
>implying the gucci bucket hat isn

>>7396932
Most things I see on here are ugly either for the fact that they're tacky or that they're not simple enough. Usually it's the latter.

This, for example, is too complicated:
>>7396432

Why the fuck do you need a fancy design like that? Why couldn't it have just been a plain, greenish-brown jacket? What purpose does the fancy pattern serve?

Then, there are things like this:
>>7384066

This is both tacky and way too colorful. Seriously, athletic shoes? It just seems out of place to wear them as daily shoes. I'd suggest this man wear a pair of plain-black leather zip-up boots.

>>7396975
>Seriously, athletic shoes? It just seems out of place to wear them as daily shoes
are u one of those kids who goes on youtube videos of the beatles and complains you were born in the wrong generation

im sure u are

>>7396975
For example, these are my daily shoes (read: the only pair I own.)

They're simple and black and go with everything from jeans to a suit. I've been wearing them for years and see no reason to own other shoes.

Woops, forgot picture of boots.

>>7397017
holy shit nice payless shoes
if I squint hard enough it almost looks like real leather
>this is what the man critiquing /fa/ wears

>>7396975
Why is simple so preferable? Why are colors so bad? What's wrong with being gaudy? Why does everything need to be functional? You said it yourself, you believe in self-expression. Do you have a problem with people communicating to other people that they like being showy? You're skirting around the real reason why you hate these pieces of clothing. You're contradicting yourself.

I think what I'm saying, in short, is that I'm angry that this is a board for urban streetwear. I'd like it to be more like Esquire: The board.

i'd like you to log off:kill yr self

I wrote this off as a troll thread but it seems like way too much work has gone into it. Possible real-life autist here.

>>7397021
I don't even remember where I got them. Leather shop in Kansas City I think. Whatever. They hold up. They are simple. It does not matter.

>>7397040
Where do you buy your fedoras?

>>7397020
>Why is simple so preferable?
Less bother. Less worry. Minimalism is better. You're talking to someone who doesn't own a bed because he thinks sleeping on the floor is simpler.

>>7397044
Even I have enough taste to not.

>>7396975
Do you have any conceptual understanding of the notion of aesthetics at all? I bet your idea of quality furniture is ikea because you can validate yourself by saying that you built it, when in reality all you did was purchase a derivative, generic, horrifically fragile item and can't bring yourself to face the truth.

>>7397046
You have no understanding of minimalism
Wearing dated styles meant for people who wish their mom still dressed them isn't minimalism. It's more or less a symptom of being on the aspergers spectrum.

>>7397046
On a side note, the picture of my shoes was taken at a friend's house. You can tell because there's a Cuisinart in the background. I consider things like that nonessential clutter and would never let one near my house (trailer).

>>7397061
>I bet your idea of quality furniture is ikea
Fuck you. This is my idea of a chair.

how can it be that the fedora memeposters are getting more autistic than the fedora wearers?

>>7397068
Do you follow a minimalist diet too? Is that why you fail to see the benefit in investing in a cooking appliance that doesn't suck?

you went from sort-of-believable to not believable at all good try

>>7397088
Naw. I have the following in my kitchen:

4 dinner knives
4 spoons
4 forks
4 plates
4 bowls
4 ceramic cups
2 pots with lids
1 set of measuring cups
1 set of measuring spoons
1 proper chef's knife
1 ladle
3 serving spoons
1 can opener

It's not a lot, but Name to me one thing I can't cook with all that.

>Here are a few alternatives as seen on a few of my favourite performers

Whut?

So a HY is bad because it's a popular hairstyle but then you go on and post 4 common hairstyles. Isn't that contradicting yourself? I mean i see hundreds of people on my daily commute rocking a buzzcut. So by your logic:

>Buzzcut is hyped-up, fad-tier garbage. It looks good on some faces and wasn't always shit, but fashion is about sending a message through how you present yourself. When you walk around with a buzzcut, you associate yourself with other people who wear their hair like that. Do you really want people to think of you like that?

>Don-Draper is hyped-up, fad-tier garbage. It looks good on some faces and wasn't always shit, but fashion is about sending a message through how you present yourself. When you walk around with a Don-Draper, you associate yourself with other people who wear their hair like that. Do you really want people to think of you like that?

I'm gonna go have me some dinner. Y'all can keep squabbling if you want. It still makes me laugh that I got you guys mad though.

>>7397046
/fa/ loves minimalism fuck off

>>7397152
Enjoy your fried eggs
Oh wait

>>7397020
actually a good point.

also this should go out to many people here on /fa/, anyway. This obsession about "functionality" (although the term isn't even meaningful most of the time) is just ridiculous. I can understand why someone digs minimalism, but people here saying "oh no this cardigan has epaulettes so gauche totally not functional, useless embellishments" are probably the most hypocritical tools this board has to offer.

>>7397170
hahahahahaha 9/10

Wow Brandon, you sure are retarded.

I'm getting tired of writing this. Regardless, you have no taste and praise a sort of hyped up ideal of practicality that is at odds with most fashion. Understandable. However it's exactly what I said: you have an idea incompatible with most of what fashion stands for, so by extension you hate fashion. That's also okay. Except, you're posting your anti-fashion opinions in a fashion board, which is retarded.

Do it in your blog or wherever you feel comfortable, just not here.

>>7397040
Do you know where you are? You are saying the material of your shoes, they look like dog shit btw, doesn't matter? Go back to /r9k/ you autist.

>2-3 legitimate responses
>50 autism/fedora comments

pls stop using fedoras as some kind of shitposting bogey-man, it's stupid and annoying.
