Is there a cheaper uniqlo that still retains that uniqlo minimalism?
I cant afford shoes. Will their slippers work as my only shoes

>>15065483
if you can't afford uniqlo you need to stop thinking about fashion and start thinking about earning more money.

getting NPC energy from this post

>>15065457 based

>>15065483 Uniqlo should be affordable enough for anyone to buy from there, unless you're legit 15 years of age
what do you do for a living

Gap/Old Navy with some select choices can do it for the same price bracket. It beats digging through thrift for used clothing.

>>15065457
THey make clothes ?

You don't know how to thrift

Weekday

>>15066335
Fast fashion is literal garbage. Most of the stuff sold at the gap just ends up at in the trash or at the thrift store or charity shop anyway. Why do you want to contribute to so much waste?

>>15066335
bro you’re literally advocating for old navy, reconsider your life

>>15066386
get a job, seriously, doesn't it feel awful to do nothing?

>>15065491
Old navy is laughably bad. None of the pieces in that pic are salvageable. Gap is boomercore.

no excuses, there's always shit they need people to do. You can read and write, there are jobs that need no other qualification than that. No fucking excuses from you, lazy slacker

>>15066692
I dont know how to drive and no license and no way to pay for a car in an area where it is mandatory and all jobs demand the employee has a license.

I went to college and got good grades. Full scholarship. I tried hard all my life and i still ended up living like this.

>>15066720
What'd you go to college for anon

>>15066720
We live in 2020. You can literally rent those shitty bicycles and live through working for Glovo or Uber eats in them. And you don’t really need cars to commute to your workplace, there is a thing called public transportation, and even in my rural-suburb area it is available.

>>15066809
>public transport
Straight up no. Ironically being more ruralish seems to give you better public transport here.
Its not about my ability to go to work(which i have none) its that jobs straight up will NOT take you if you have no license. Especially the unskilled jobs ive been desperate for. This comes from experience.

I dont do app shit. 2020 is shit. I cant work out that stuff and honestly id likely get shot trying to do it. (Frequent shootings just up the street from me)
>>15066795
It doesnt matter. College is a meme

>>15066720
What are you doing on a fashion driven board? Your brokeass doesn't belong here, this community is all about following the latest trends, copping exclusive collections, etc. You can't do any of that. Just shop at Walmart no one is gonna give a single fuck how your bummy ass dresses. Just leave

>>15065969

Recently discovered Arket as well, I'm surprised no-one talks about it much. Very based

More reason for you to stop bitching.

You don’t need a license for working at a grocery store, as a waiter, nor as a sales assistant or as a labourer in a amazon warehouse.
The answer is that your personality is probably so aversive that no one stands being around you for more than 30 seconds. If that is so, you could have the best credentials in the world and you will remain unemployed.
Just last week I turned down a job proposition in college, and I’m not even on STEM.

>>15067018
>you dont need a license to do this
Yes you do. Why are you straight up ignoring what I am saying. I have tried. I have been denied specifically for not having a license.
>more reason for you to stop bitching
Uh, no? Because I'm not rural.

>>15064517
why would you ever buy uniqlo when you can just thrift for better quality while being cheaper

>>15066660
>im unemployable

volunteer at a thrift shop. puts you in the vicinity of cheap clothes, gives you training in being a retail slave, gives you something to put on your resume that you can say you were doing rather than blank-facing the interviewer when he asks.

Way to gatekeep cringelord

>>15066395
You're literally buying people's ragged, used clothing they farted and sweated in. You're wearing someone else's human slime.

>>15066451
Hey genius, how do you think the clothes got into the thrift stores to begin with? What difference does it make? None whatsoever. Quit lying to yourselves you hypocrites- like you never bought any cheap, fast fashion.

>>15066604
Another gatekeeping asshat. As to what? More expensive brands so you can larp as a rich person? Like anyone can even tell.

>>15066624
As to what? Actual boomer clothes from the thrift store? Please, spare me.

>>15067549
no those brands are bad because they fit like shit and look awful

>>15067551
They're actually one of the few brands who have consistency in their fit- also one of the few who offer "slim" fitment.

Others, even today, fit boomer-tier where everything has to be baggy or loose. Clothing gets torn up or worn-out, they're literally made to be disposed later. You also help places get on their feet like Bangladesh and Vietnam by purchasing these clothing.

>>15067549
There is no argument to be had because you have no understanding of reality.

>>15067571
what the fuck does that even mean

>>15067586
Compared to what, really? Your objective, ~superior~ understanding of reality? Lets be real- quit lying to yourselves like you only buy four-figure, pricetag luxury fashion for your everyday fits. Everyone buys fast fashion like Gap and Old Navy or Uniqlo- yes, even my rich self-made, baller friends. That's how they got rich, by buying cheaper things.

Stop being fake. OP was asking for budget-friendly brands, not Paris catwalk Thom Browne clothing.

>>15067596
how the fuck is thom browne the first thing you think of lmfao irrelevant ass

>>15067571
Others, even today, fit boomer-tier where everything has to be baggy or loose.
you mean like uniqlo lol

>>15067596
the fact that you think there’s nothing in between looking like a sexcore old navy npc and your understanding of runway fashion is telling

>>15067602
>>15067626
>not posting ideas for OP
>regurgitating bs

Gap/Old Navy > Uniqlo

>>15067596
are you a /fit/ crossposter or just looking for (you)s?

>>15067629
>implying any of those stores have an actual personality you can compare

>>15067635
>personality
>needing (muh fash) to have personality to convey my own

Fashionnova/F21 liars. Ya'll be the type to see your homie wearing the exact same denim jacket you got on clearance. Posting like you only wear expensive fits when we all know you just buy base-model like everyone else does.

>>15067643
fashion nova and forever 21 are literally no different from those 3 tho? and no one ever implied they were?

>>15067643
why do you assume is someone doesn’t wanna look like one type of npc they wanna look like another barely distinct type of npc
why do you assume personal style=expensive clothes
have you ever seen clothes that don’t come from a mall or the front page of instagram

>>15067658
>everyone else is an NPC logic
>everyone who doesn't ((know)) and isnt ((woke)) about my fashion sense is an NPC

That thinking in and of itself is bot status. You can create decent fit by mixing and matching parts from those cheaper brands (Fashionnova/Gap/F21/Uniqlo). They are copies of higher-end fashion that changes every season. At the least, you can keep your everyday fit relevant by keeping your shopping with fast-fashion frequent. Compared to people who still hold on to memes like lunarcore, normcore or cyberpunk/digital nomad. It really does beat shopping thrift store for used goods, but I suppose if you are really in need for a budget, thrift-store shopping can suffice if you are smart with what you purchase.

Much rather advise to purchase fast-fashion over thrift store though.

>>15067670
consistency and “holding onto memes” while still developing on them in your own way is preferable to being a trendhopping faggot

Not involved in this but i actually try to dress npc core as much as possible. I want to be completely conforming while still looking ok. I dress exclusively in uniqlo basics

I personally really like olive and beams plus, but I only get beams plus and other japanese brands on grailed because they're used so they're cheaper.

>>15067732
this guy gets it

If you dress too outwardly you are deemed a social outcast automatically. You kinda have to conform, but only enough to fit in. But at the same time, you don't want to be too much like an NPC. Wolf in sheep clothing mindset

What I learned from this thread: Everyone in here dresses like their name is Jake, Alex, or John.

>>15067781
is this like a weird twitter meme

>>15067756
you're a pussy if you dress to fit in

>>15067785
its not about dressing to fit in i want to dress my personality IE no personality

>>15067784
No it just means everyone here likes to dress like normie NPCs with absolutely no personality who are afraid of standing out in any sort of way and want to live their life in mediocrity.

>>15067790
i mean yeah. thats what we are man. again its not a fear of standing out its just embracing the lack of personality

>>15067732
Me too, more or less. The only time I really want to stray from Uniqlo is pants. I want a higher-rise and I don't want slim fit.

>>15067785
Not to whom you were replying but what good is dressing to *not* fit in? I don't have something to "say" with my clothes. I just want to look good and respectable and only stray from that when something tickles my autistic fancy.

>>15064517

>>15067790
the fact that your parents named you Polonius or something doesn't make you special
there' probably many Jakes out there more effay than you

if you live in a real city where everyone is dressed in 4 different color palettes at the same time and thrifts or just in general wears ruined clothing
wearing uniqlo would actually make you really special

I wear both uniqlo and thrift, don't see what the big deal is - it's perfect to mix uniqlo basics with some more interesting / higher quality thrifted finds

>>15068109
Yes this is Polonius, fuck you Jake.

>>15068111
Every fucking fashion victim in my city wears Uniqlo with "thrift and some high end pieces"

>>15065457
nice

>>15066082
Thrifting here is just buying used fast fashion

>>15068342
you've got to have good spots, go to a richer neighbourhood or something

>>15068349
Wearing an old person's clothing doesnt make you cool or interesting

>>15067629
very far from true

op if you can afford 4chan you have everything you need in order to, with efforts, get a job.

bad excuses imo

>>15068448
neither does fast fashion or talking shit on 4chan

>>15068574
>afford 4chan
?????

>>15067105
is it possible you're retarded and when they asked for your license, you said you don't have one but all they wanted was an ID?

>>15068775
No. They want a license

>>15068763
idot

4chan
>Internet
>a device that can access the internet

>>15068968
Neither of these things are expensive. In fact they can be free

>>15068977
yea, but if you have the access you can make money, and by making money you can make more money.
of course it doesn't work without a lot of effort put into it.

>>15069046
i dont follow your logic

>>15067105
Move to another place.

>but I cant becau-

Shut the fuck up. You went to college, right? Ok then, stop crying and get it together, baby. Ain't nobody gonna help you but you. Now get out there and put work in, nothing is for free.

>>15069070
>move
uh
on what money

>>15069064
even by just doing opinion surveys on the internet you can make money. OP has no excuse being "unemployable"

>>15069173
dude please just write out your entire point and method in one post. i am getting tired of the 20 questions here

>>15064517
is uniqlo the best cheap store out there? or is there better cheaper

>>15069227
Cheaper for the same quality? Nah

>>15067756
I wore pleated brown wool pants and a tweed blazer today to work. I don't need to, I just want to. Everybody seems to dig it. I did have a chav kid shout something at me

>>15069074
you're a troll but people like you really do exist. When I'm in power the work shy are all going against the wall.

>>15069173
>.25 cents per hour
yeah no, I mean maybe op can do a hostile takeover of a trap house and start moving product, I'm in mergers and acquisitions so I don't know how that works.
Anyhow, let's not stoop to uniglo's level, whatever this is, and let's up our game to some elegance. thenkssss.
