frequently told I dress like a pilgrim or amish girl. fuck em

After I got home after buying some nicer clothes
>do you have a girlfriend? The reason why someone changes his style is normally a girl

>>8182874
compliments i guess
mum asked me why i buy weird clothes once but just replied with pic related

My mother is a hairdresser who's ruined every haircut I've ever had by cutting it too much when I went to her to trim it and keep it in line. Within six weeks of getting a HY, she'd cut it out entirely because she thought it looked silly and that I'd look better with a haircut like Olly Murs.

>>8182874
My folks and siblings know I know what I'm doing even if they don't necessarily understand

>>8182945
p-post a fit...

>"Nice skinny jeans, faggot!"

>>8183087

Well, you shouldn't have called your hair style "Hitler Youth" in front of your mother.

>>8182969

My dad thinks I'm a punker

My mom always compliments everything I wear, and dresses fairly well because her work
my younger brother is bordering on swagfagdom
older brother is formal dressing done properly
my dad, well he dresses like a dad

>>8183114
dont think i ever did that, but having blonde hair and piercing blue eyes doesnt help the cause

>tfw family reunion dinner
>everyone besides me is a normalfag, baggy pants, graphic t-shirts, horrible shoes, you name it
>tfw weird stares
>tfw smirks and laughs

R-Rick, i'm doing it for you man

>>8183143
You went to a family reunion draped in Rick Owens clothing, what did you expect?
This is where everyone fucks up, they can't incorporate their taste into different occasions.

Would you go to a wedding draped in Rick? Just tone it down and make the pieces work in that environment.
Black-button down if you must, nice designer dress shoes, not geobaskets.

>>8183143
>baggy pants
>horrible shoes
>rick

>>8183096

Mom is on board with dressing well/preppy/proper.

Dad is all "wow how much of your money did you spend on Brooks Brothers, Ralph LAuren, etc"

>>8183160
fuck, i want that game

>>8183154
Nah, i had a dark blueish button-down, slim fit dark pants and blueish NB shoes.

I think they are ashamed to be seen around me. I mean, they still hang out with me and don't say anything bad about it but I can't help but feel there is this tension in the air like, "why can't he be normal?" I guess it doesn't help that I've got the courage to start wearing heels in public.

I'm still young but I'll probably get over this androgyny thing once testosterone takes over and I lose my youthful look and I get a career.

>anon, why are you always wearing black?

>>8183178
Make it.

>>8183211
Call her a racist next time.

>>8183143
>tfw your family member goes out with you wearing shoes like these
Gotta love living in Russia

My mom's in clothing business, so she has a decent taste. I almost always ask her opinion on my fits. Also she does the same thing.

My younger brother is like full casual. Regular fit jeans, some C&A-core hoodie, graphic and label shirts, and awful adidas shoes. He sometimes compliments my hair.

My dad. Welp, he dresses casual, he always wears shirts, not tees. He uses awful color combinations. He compliments me on my dressing, but never tells anything specific, just "anon, that outfit looks good".

>>8183133
I know that feel

>>8183269
Has your brother ever asked you for advice on clothing? You should help your bro out and at least make him wear some normalcore fits.

>>8183281
I helped him to pick some decent tees last time we went shopping like altogether. But he's going in the right direction, so basically it will take like a year to develop his own taste.

>mfw my dad regularly wears blue cargo jeans with a blue floral shirt and blue suede desert boots.

I love him but good grief I didn't know cargo jeans were even a thing.

>>8183321
It's just dads being dads.

>asks me why i want waxxed jeans

My pleb sister tries to make fun of me and then I make fun of her back

My parents tell me to wash my jeans more

My sister who went to ucla for fashion compliments me

My dad says nothing about it

My stepmom and little sisters all are more focused on me lifting

Why do people think it's fine to criticize and make fun of someone for dressing well, but then turn around and call that same person pretentious or elitist when they criticize others for dressing poorly?

This makes no sense, is it just the human instinct to fit in? Is it some level of jealousy?

It seems like making fun of someone for spending money on clothes is completely socially acceptable, even (especially) in groups that are "all inclusive no hate just be yourself" like "modern" geek culture

We should start a Tumblr social justice group or something, I think I feel oppressed

>>8183705
>waxed jeans
>hard to pull off
noooooooooooooooooooooooope

>>8184267
How many sisters do you have nigga

>>8183565
for some reason it reminds me to SLP summer collection

i give it an 8/10

>>8184282
mine were really tight, they were pretty hard to get off my legs man :)

(lame grammar joke sorry)

>>8183705
lol wut? its easy as fuck, the only problem for me is that i cant finde proper waxed jeans or even the god damned wax to do it myself

>>8184275
nah, criticize everyone who is different until someone brings to attention it's sad to do it!

Personally I find it funny when people spend money on clothes with < 30% intrinsic value and >70% mark-up for the brand or whatever.

>>8184267
Let me get sloppy seconds on the ucla grad who still lives at home

>>8183183

duh fuck man just dress manly and youll look it. Unless youre gay or bi.

>>8182957
>visit family
>do you have a girlfriend yet anon?

ugh this feel

My family pretty much knows me as the fashionable one since high school so I pretty much just get compliments from my sisters. My mom compliments fits sometimes or says she like that as opposed to this. Friends typically compliment shit here and there. My shit is more jap streetwear though not all black ricky dicky.

>aren't you done spending money on clothes?
>anon why would you ever spend over $20 on a tshirt
>anon why would you ever spend over $150 on a pair of shoes

I don't even have anything that's super expensive, because I don't really even have money

>>8182945
omg same, recently i've been told i look like "a cute amish girl"

also "why are u so dressed up?"
"are u sure u wanna wear high heels/a skirt/a dress in this weather?"

Yes they hate me for being like this

And my dog is bullying me, he bites me whenever I sit on the longue and no one says anything so I end up sitting on the floor and he sits on the longue

>>8185206

>>8185209
Nah, I'm a alpha dawg I go to the gym and play footy

>>8183154
>not going to weddings in a rick blazer
LOL LOOK AT THIS PLEB

Everyone gives me compliments, people randomly stop me in malls even when i'm with my gf. I had a drunk guy start playing with my jacket the other day.

My mom constantly asks me for advice and tries to brag to her mega rich friends that I 'know' fashion or something which is really embarassing, considering they all dress in st johns and loro and stuff.

She once called my alexandre plokhov batwing parka a flying squirrel suit bc dolmain sleeves, too.

My dad makes fun of me for my "expensive $80 jeans"

>mfw $400

>>8183239
Next level af

>brother calls me out on buying new cp's for 200
>he has two pairs of dbs

>>8185237
wat rick blazer tho
post pics

>>8185279
at least you know you're the cool brother

Either of my parents just complain about many shoes I have when they visit. Friends enjoy it, generally just say something along the lines of, "I don't even understand how you pull that off" or "you're the guy that manages to have a certain niceness even on your off days." Some people on the street heckle with the more obscure stuff, but I live on the fringe of the ghetto anyways, they make fun of anything remotely slim or fitted. Just gotta wear what you like really.

>>8185054
I'd reply with 'in your mommy's mouth :^)' and run or grab a stick or sth

I don't dress like some fucking internet influenced avante garde faggot, that's all.

today:
icebreaker T
gap hoodie
PBJs
margiela repros
G-shock

I guess you could say I'm the guy spending $800 on an outfit that looks not very much different from some walmart shit, while actually wearing walmart tier shit too in one fit (gap actually, but not a huge dif from walmart really)
And the best part is, I'm not ostracizing have the population by wearing stupid shit, overly tight pants, back garb, overpriced brand cotton tees.

My advice to young fashioners is, don't spend so much on something that the resource based quality (fabric and build material, not label) can't justify.
And, try to wear something cheap as fuck with your outfit for a while, every day. If you can't pull it off or feel insecure, there's a good likelihood that you're actually shit at dressing yourself, and that you rely on your recognition of brands and purchase prices to justify how good you look when in fact, you're actually shit at dressing yourself.

I still act like a goofy fuck so they don't care

>>8185347
hope you post this fit so I can laugh at you and your advice.

Dad thinks i'm homosex. Ever so often will he sit me down and ask in a serious tone "son, are you gay" to which my reply is always no.

Can't blame him though. Poor asian immigrant parents dont understand skinny jeans or man buns.

>>8183755
Oh shut the fuck up no you would not. You'd sit there and give shit looks and storm off like a bitch. I know your type

>>8185366
#ethered

>>8185353
you could laugh, I'm sure lots of people here would.
it's not a state of high esteem for this board to denounce or regard things positively, it's just a bunch penurious bitches with low T squawking over what they think is cool or not
they're obsessiveness is tantamount to their incompetence; thereby, self confidence is not employed as often as negativity towards others (to balance the ego scale, it seems)

I don't need recognition from this board, of all places, including your pre-meditated assault on my style, to continue to dress well in the context of my city.

>>8183087
I actually had a guy say "nice haircut faggot" to me recently as he drove past. To be fair it was a shit haircut.

>>8183565
requesting the source of that dress

>>8185473
probably asos or s/t
if not, i'm sure you'll find something similar there
asos is all about them dresses with different color collar
especially black and white ones, you'll find like 30

>>8183087
happened to me once, just shot back "nice fat jeans bitch". he looked pissed but i acted cool and got onto the trolley then sat down and was thankful he was waiting for a different trolley

>>8183321
that outfit sounds sick

>>8185430
>i'm gonna try to make fun of anonymous as if it were one person because i'm feeling insecure
well alright then mister I-dont-need-no-recognition.

>>8184275
I believe its some level of jealously as well as hypocrisy. I make fun of kids who dress like shit just for a good laugh. "Friend" of mine always complains that I'm being mean and that I should be more forgiving while at the same time criticizing how I dress and also calling me pretentious for buying expensive clothes.

It honestly makes no sense because he makes fun of people and has a holier than thou attitude while doing it.

Start up a tumblr brah. Lets spread awareness.

>>8185366
Hahaha, you're a little bitch.

I lel when I remember Poet saying his dad questioned his sexuality when he wore waxed denim

>>8183062
This guy probably won't be allowed in Japanese bath-houses.

can you be my gf, plz respond

>>8185696
why?
hairy legs?
tat?

Some of my friends were really complimenting my Redwings once and asked where I got them. When I mentioned the price they told me that they could never justify paying 300€ for a pair of shoes.

Same guys complimented my wool coat later that day and when I told them I got it from milsurp for about 20€, but took it to a tailor to make it look a little less milsurp (removed epautlets and metal hooks for equipment belt, cost like 10€) they told me I spend far too much time and effort on clothes.

After that I tried to explain in detail that why should I settle for less if I know what I like, it is achievable and will probably be cheaper in the long run. They understood it but still were saying that 300€ for shoes is overkill.

>>8185229

Your dog thinks you're beta, though.

>>8185727
you sound like a bitch ass nigga
out of curiousity, are you from sweden or netherlands any other nordic country?

>>8185735

Nordic yes. Is it that obvious?

What country exactly? Yes, it is, as you might've observed :^)

>>8183479

>>8185757

>>8184295
i enjoyed this

>>8185757
Neither.
Your English is good, but you dont sound like a native speaker, also sentences are structured not in a way say south east asian or russian people would structure them. That courteous/polite manner too.

friends compliment me
boss is always telling me he wishes he could be as /fa/ as me
>tfw still consider myself as a fuccboi

my family members generally think i dress well but hate how much money i spend on clothes even though i spend a lot less than most of you guys it seems

basically none of my friends care about how they dress and will either usually complement more or usually give me a weird face and ask me why i care so much

personally i dont understand why i keep buying clothes when i have so little income and my social life is at an all time low since starting college

>>8185517
this would only apply if I was actually talking about everybody here and not just the most vocal.

>>8185773
Oh,
Always thought that english is the easiest language because of overexposure. But when writing I feel I cannot get the same fluidity of thought as native speakers which is frustrating. And what do you mean with courteous/polite manner?

>>8185781
>my social life is at an all time low since starting college
sometimes I wonder why I buy clothes too
but then I dont want to BE a weirdo without friends and social life AND to DRESS like a weirdo without friends and social life
so I guess I'm faking it till I make it :^)

>>8185805
I know that feel, not a native speaker as well. Your writing manner is very courteous, say, how you described your interaction with friends and what you said/did. Don't know, just feel it.

>>8185811
Well they still are my friends even if we don't share the opinion on clothes and price/quality. So talking about them in a disregarding manner would seem a bit off wouldn't it?

>>8185735
Regarding that I don't reveal info about my clothes anymore even upon inquiry. I have taken the general /fa/ stance with answers like "I got it online", "I don't remember. I got it from sale" etc. Most people just are ignorant of aesthetics and quality.

>>8185206
lmao

>>8185846
took you awhile to understand that
I started doing that back to like 3rd grade or so

>>8185867
I have been dressing in an awful manner until some years ago. My first compliments were from those damn Redwings, also propably the first thing I got judged spending money on. I mean, it is ok to buy high end TV, expensive furniture or a car that has way too much features and luxurious looks when one uses it to drive 5km to work. But when someone "invests" on footwear that can last more than 2 years, and look great to boot, it is money wasted?

>>8185912
Ofcourse not. You can buy a fucking 600$ piece of wood because you like the color or smell or anything, you don't have to be able to afford it, or justify it to your friends. Your fucking pleasure is justification. And we're talking boots here. Also people dont realize your boots will last you 5-10 years if taken care of, while they will buy new cheap stuff every year or so, spending same or greater amount of money.

>>8185946
I am merely perplexed about the drastic chance in the opinion when clothing is discussed. Things mentioned earlier like cars, electronics, furniture and such just seem to get an easier free pass from being frowned upon. The idea of peasants wearing burlap but driving horse carts with silver rims just sounds funny. Even more so if you consider the mental image.
