/fa/ - Fashion

[Anonymous No.7383511]

If you wear clothes that are trending, after the fact they started trending, youre not /fa/

If you buy clothes because you saw them online and then posted pictures of yourselves in said clothes, youre not /fa/

It seems like the whole online fashion game is just a popularity contest now.

Kids buying fits not because its their style, or because they consider it fashionable but because its trending on the internet.

How is that creative? How is that NOT dressing for other people? It isnt. And you are.

If you cant make a fit and be comfortable in clothes that arent the latest thing on sufu or tumblr or hypebeast, then you are simply a FUCCBOI.

If you need to validate your fits on the internet to strangers, you are the opposite of being into fashion -- youre just another trend-riding schoolgirl.

This is why /fa/ will always be full of insecure faeries, because none of you can live with or justify your clothing without the approval of faceless posters on an imageboard, who also seek the same validation.

if you buy clothes after the trend is "over"

you're part of the trend you continue it

trends aren't just 1 guy starting something, there is no real "trendsetter" unless you count that being the place that sells the certain clothing and markets it to the online fashion community teen segment who is especially sensative to viral marketing

can we put this in the sticky?

[Anonymous No.7383543]

I feel like most people online only buy designer clothing to show off designer clothing online.

In real life, no one cares that your shirt is Rick or Damir -- in fact they probably think you look retarded.

If you have to go show it off online to other people circlejerking over designer clothes, then you've not purchased it because it is important but only to show it off to other likeminded people.

You will never enjoy it. You probably havent even deeply thought about whether purchasing it is really worth it to you, or just a way to feel included in a group with arbitrary standards.

This is why fashion is one of the worst hobbies. It doesnt really improve your life, it just gives the illusion of your life being better

[Anonymous No.7383552]

>>7383528

Now riddle me this. If there were no faeries posting their fits online, would trends even arise? Would anything be unfashionable? Who would set the standards if there was no exclusive circlejerk?

If everyone stopped posting fits -- if magazines stopped printing, how would anybody ever be "fashionable" and who would be the judge?

If you cant separate yourself from these things, again, youre a fuccboi.

[Anonymous No.7383587]

Fashion means nothing.

Coordinating clothing is a skill - but really you dont need to be coordinated to look good.

But who decides what looks good? Designers? Fuck them. Magazines? Fuck them.

Why do you think the chavs 'dressed like shit' and other mongoloids 'dressed like shit' still manage to survive and get laid?

Because being well dressed, in the final analysis, is a meaningless luxury -- purely masturbation to give oneself a feeling of security where there is only emptiness and insecurity.

I do. You know what also makes me happy? Posting my very own work of art that I have created by combining items of clothing that are pleasing to my eye and comfortable to my body and posting it on the internet for all to see , like an artist having a picture in a huge gallery. Sure some might look at it and be like
>wtf is this shit lol
But then tell their friends who are in love with it that they too think it's amazing just to be accepted but they wont know the same realm of pleasure that I am in. That almost ethereal, radiating joy of knowing that I have assembled a work of art that speaks volumes about how I feel , how I think while flattering all my proportions.
Fashion is fucking awesome.

[Anonymous No.7383660]

>>7383628

Correct. For most young men though, including the ones who wish to improve their dress, chasing tail is generally the name of the game. Dont ignore this.

>>7383638
Youre failing to see my point. That things such as tumblr, blogs, sufu, hypebeast and the internet in general, have made trends something that come about rapidly, change rapidly, and turn into a game, basically, for a lot of people caught up in it.

The internet fashion game is where my qualms lie. The fact is, people in it think they are into fashion, when really they are dickriding the hype-train.

You havent created art. Youve taken something someone else has created, and managed to match it with other items created by others.

All you did was coordinate clothing. Congrats. That requires skill. But it also requires things such as luck of having correct body types, and the money to do it. Posting for others to validate you is masturbation. If you like it fine. But youre not an artist/ Youre flavour of the day fashionable/.

Wait , do you even like fashion? I don't understand what compels you to spout such trivial nonsense. What are you getting out of this? Some sort of high moral ground because you don't buy into the whole expensive high fashion stuff? Feeling like you're special because you don't post fits or luxury attire?
Why exactly are you on /fa/? I'm all for a debate but just remember this isn't just a hobby for some of us , it's a passion that is enjoyed by many so please don't try your hardest to extinguish something to someone that gives them joy.

[Anonymous No.7383714]

>>7383686

If you can with good conscience say that everything you wear and buy, EVERY SINGLE THING, makes you happy - independantly of trends and what others think - congrats youve made it. But when you say you post online -- I have a hard time believing youre not fishing for approval. Very difficult.

If they truly made you happy, you wont spew the 'artistic' shit and post online. Youd just wear it and be contented in yourself.

[Anonymous No.7383732]

>>7383707

I like/d fashion. Im question the validity of what fashion is itself. Im raising the questions you should be asking yourself.

There is no moral high ground. How can what you wear be seen as immoral? The only immorality is in the belief that a passion for clothing is in someway special when discussing the way other people are dressed who are not into fashion.

Again -- what is fashion? What makes something fashionable? Who sets the standards? The designer? Or the mob that slowly builds around something the designer has made.

Of course everything I buy makes me happy. It might not make me happy forever of cause because my taste evolves as I delve further and further into this odd dimension that is fashion but being happy , even it's just for a month or what not is always a good thing.
And if i'm happy with what I have then why not post it online for others to enjoy with me?
The greatest thing about happiness is sharing it with others and if I post a fit and it pleases someone's eye or inspires them then where's the harm in that?
Sure compliments are nice and they put a smile on my face but there's always one person that's not pleased with a fit or an item of clothing I have acquired or a designer I admire but that's not a bad thing. Just means i've met a person that has a different taste to me and with difference comes invention and evolution.
So why should I shy away from such beautiful things?

[Anonymous No.7383766]

>>7383735

You cannot judge something against arbitrary standards within its own environment to come to a conclusion on its validity.

To anyone outside the fashion world who knows nothing about designers -- and then ask them why Rick is the biggest within that same world, is like asking a person whos never built a building to compare why a building is better than another -- the only difference being -- a building can have objective qualities that make it good or bad, whereas clothing can have certain of these qualities but none of them are related to fashion -- because fashion is an arbitrary standard perpetuated by people with an interest in fashion and its arbitrary standards.

A coat can be demonstratively ;
-well made
-durable
-of quality materials

but cannot be judge objectively whether it looks good, or whether it is fashionable -- because these things, in the final analysis are meaningless when applied to many obeservers who each have their own tastes

Wear what you want -- until you post a fit and little internet cunts destroy your self image and self worth with a few anonymously posted words.

If you just wore what you wanted, you wouldnt be here, you wouldnt have a trip and you wouldnt post fits.

You wear what you THINK looks good, and what you think is very easily shifted by the opinions of others, and other very nuanced stimuli such as they way others treat you, the way people interact with you and obviously -- the feedback you get online.

Plus the things you see others doing.

No one can truly wear what they want when they are constantly immeresed in the online fashion game/

We all wear what others want.

This is why fashion and being 'well-dressed' (by what standard?) is an occupation for the insecure and weak -minded. Mental betas.

Everybody wants to look good - but that can be achieved by wearing ANY clothing that fits properly. The only opinions you should listen to are those of your tailor after hes taken your measurements.

When you start opening yourself to the influence of 'fashion' youve told yourself that what others want is more important than what you personally think looks good.

Because, again. Fashion is an inclusive, circle-jerking group, that now changes very quickly and is ruled by mob mentality.

The fact is - trends can easily be influenced by a person of celebrity status, by a well taken photo with good resolution and proper filtering.

When you see this for what it is, youl will realize that apart from wearing clothing that is clean and that fits correctly -- being obsessed with clothing is nearly a sickness for the average person.

Damn son , looks like you have one mad personal vendetta against "fashion". Why are you trying to vilify it? There are a few posters ITT who have said over and over again why they enjoy it and that it genuinely makes them happy and here you are basically calling us sheep and basically making yourself come across as more of a villain than the way you perceive fashion. I'm sure there are things that you enjoy and that others also feel the same way about that you talk about with others and invest money in and so on. If you were really so above the whole consumerist and conformist culture and had a true mind of your own which is what you've been preaching then you would be able to accept that some people have acquired a medium which they can use to achieve HAPPINESS! They have found their way to feel an emotion we all strive for so please don't fight to close that channel , just be above it like you seem you are and well be happy for those that are.

Right on, youve got a lot of valid points.
But to clarify- and I should preface it by saying Im not one to post in WAYWT threads- but the purpose really should be to derive inspiration from said sources.
Its like asking a painter not to derive inspiration from other paintings. It might create a lot more originality, but ultimately the work will be of a much poorer quality.
