>>12883738
can't spell eighty without ghey

>>12883742
kek. boy george agrees.

I was born in 1990 but I have always loved 80's fashion. Probably cause my older siblings wore a lot of 80's style clothes when I was growing up and I thought they were cool.

>>12883738
yes

tfw you can't buy Alf apparel anymore

$2 you came out of twitter recently

>>12883738
Stranger Things came out last year. Hence it's millennial fashion

You dumbass

Some of the clothes were but the hair definitely wasn't.

There was a brief sweet spot in the late 70s/early 80s, between the decline of disco and the rise of synth pop where things were pretty good, imo.

>>12884029
same.

>>12884029
only a minimalist cuck would say this

80s inspo?

>>12884073
Found the butthurt virgin.
1976 to 1984 was the Golden Age of The Chad

>>12884089
looks wimpy and inoffensive, these are the real chads

nice bulge

>>12884095
>posts movie set in 1976 to counter the argument that the Golden Age of Chads started in 1976
Top notch work, anon.

>>12883738
The fitting and quality of the material (before America outsourced and went cheaper), along with the cinematography is what makes them look good. Plenty of the trends were trash though. Don't let false nostalgia cloud your judgement.

>>12884101
the styles are obviously different

>>12884089
I agree but these guys look just look like average folk. Not even one hairy chest.

>>12884098
???

>>12884532
joe has a big bulge

>>12884106
Makes me wonder what trends from the 00-10s will be looked back on nostalgically and which will be laughed at.

>>12883979
why wont my jeans ever fit me this well

>>12885392

>>12884029
Disco fashion is top notch

>>12884669
streetwear, slp, rick owens, comfycore, slackercore, art hoes and the male equivalent, undercuts, chelsea boots, longline, tapered jeans, exposed ankles, anything kanye wears, bomber jackets, overcoats with casual anything, 90s revival core, mac demarco, normcore, japanese baggycore, minimalism, off white, anything from h&m or uniqlo, supreme, graphic tees with anime or line art or geometric art or brands, also anything that fa likes

>>12885778
>exposed ankles
>skinny jeans
>anything kanye wears

Please don't be fo real

>>12885778
might as well just bomb around the place naked

>>12885778
>>12885833
kanye stuff will def come back considering how bad it was

>>12885833
those will all be laughed at within 1-3 years as super cringe and unfashionable by even those of you who are late adopters and laggards who haven't already moved on to the new aesthetic /fa/ hasn't caught onto yet

>in b4 you ask
>in b4 some jealous laggard says something passive aggressive about trends

>>12883738
It was very much a masculine era in fashion. Pants sat at the waist, and had a slight taper, and suits had shoulder pads, leading to a very heroic look. Not to mention, most people were not fat like they are today.

>>12885910
True. Amazing how most people, even in street photographs, looked lean. I think the hairy-everything and feathered hair look also added to the manlier vibe.
Anybody know where I can cop som large-collared disco shirts from the 70s? Not a costume (and not above L size fucking american websites)

>>12883738
Oldfag here. Old enough to remember the 80s. Cultural wasteland. Deserves an ignominious death, like Reagan.

>>12885392
Because you're not an actor with an on-site tailor whose job it is to make your clothes just perfect for the shot.

>>12886053
it's pretty obvious those jeans weren't altered in any capacity

>>12883979
How many people didn't realize Fox was a Manlet until years after the movie?

>>12886068
It's the tailor's job to make it look that way.

>>12886187
the fit of that particular pair was just the trend at the time, no alteration necessary. even from just looking at them, there aren't any unnatural breaks in the wash at the seams that you would get if they were actually tailored

>>12885999
Kys fucking hippie

>>12885967

eBay vintage, check your size from time to time and look for deadstock. Sometimes you can get lucky.

>>12886248
Do you know any British/American name for these men's large-collared 70s/80s disco shirts? Because typing "large-collared shirts" only gives me women's or costumes'

>>12886265
just search for 70s shirts, the majority will have large collars

>>12886265

I know this brand called "arrow", they have been around for a long time so that may work. Or search for "sears", "montgomery wards", "jc penney", with the combination "70s" and/or "butterfly collar"

There is this site as well, situated in Germany though and quality is unknown.

>>12886287
Thanks. ordering from Europe is a safer choice. Can't trust the americans for accurate sizes that will size my skelly frame

>>12884073
>minimalist
>implying there was ever anything minimal about 70s/80s fashion

>>12886300

If you are getting a jacket or something you like it might be worth it to take it to a tailor. Also vintage sizing is a bit smaller.

Check out atomretro as well, they are more aimed at the mod look though.

>>12886325
that was the closest they got

there's almost nothing interesting about that in between period

>>12886079
None, because his short stature was a running theme with his multiple encounters with the much taller Biff throughout the trilogy.

>>12886332
>there's almost nothing interesting about that in between period
Yes, there is, are you blind? The 1976-1984 period was pretty rich. Jeans weren't as flared as they were pre-1976 but nor as tight or baggy as post-1984. Plenty of good things

So around 1980 then? Pretty interesting period because I noticed some clothing of that era is quite fitted and classic. After that things started to go oversized and shouldery.

>>12883986


>>12883986
>tfw you can't buy Alf apparel anymore
I fuck with it

>>12884095
me on the right

Just finished season 2 of stranger things, w2c 80s slim fitting, high waisted, blue Jeans? Or does Levi's have jeans that would fit that aesthetic? They all look like shit in the pictures on the site.

>>12883994
*Sigh*
*Takes out chain link wallet*

>>12886381
levis 501 are what i think most of the characters are wearing. wrangler cowboy cut slim are also good for that aesthetic.

>>12883738
Any similair jackets as the one the girl is wearing?

>>12886430
I've tried 501s and they are far too wide overall and not high waisted unfortunately

I feel like the costume department for That 70s Show wrecked the market for vintage clothes on the West Coast considering that in 7 seasons no character ever repeated an outfit.
Sort of like how Dukes of Hazzard decimated Dodge Chargers.

>>12883979
When the fuck are high waisted jeans gonna come back into style? Low rise looks like such shit and is so much more uncomfortable.

>>12886514
steve definitely wears 501s at various points, you can see the branding in some of the fight scenes. pretty sure billy also wears levis. but they look like 505s.

>>12886519
interesting hypothesis, it would make sense. they must have had an enormous wardrobe budget.

>>12886658
I've been rewatching the show and I seriously don't think any character repeated an outfit besides Leo, because Leo only had one outfit. The wardrobe designer must have sent hordes of PAs out to pick thrift stores clean.
Even Mad Men repeated outfits.

>>12886224
No rush, I'll be dying soon anyway.

>>12886651
Could I wear a Members Only jacket today without being laughed at?

>>12888160
No, but that has nothing to do with the jacket.

>>12886651
those are definitely Levi's and I wouldn't be surprised, if they are 501s, but the modern 501 don't fit like that at all, I've tried some on a couple of weeks ago and they all fit like shit. But I'll have a look at 505s. Are there other brands that sell Jeans that are cut like these on the show? Otherwise I'll have to go thrifting or alter them.

>>12886430
>>12886514
511s are high waisted too right? If you're looking for a more tapered fit. I could be wrong. I only own 501s and it may well be that you're just used to a more tapered fit and don't really know how they look

>>12888650
>>12888617
I just checked the website. 501 has an 11.25 inch (mid) rise, 505 has an 11 inch (mid) rise, 511 has a 10 inch (low) rise.

>>12888650
511s are absolutely not high waisted lol

i don't think any model that's come out in the last 10-20 years would qualify

>>12884017
based in the 80s though.

>>12889293
>>12889328
>>12888617

trying to find a fit like the left, darker jeans

any advice lads?

>>12889409
desu those look low waisted to me

you're probably going to have to buy women's jeans if you want them high waisted and that tight

>>12889293
10 in isnt low rise

>is 80s effay?
Lucas is.

>>12886521
quit acting like your organically came to this conclusion and aren't just parroting literally everyone else on this board. High waisted jeans have been back in style for at least a year now

>>12889909
>High waisted jeans have been back in style for at least a year now
you'd never know, judging by our waywts

>>12886079
No one was pay attention to that shit except you, 5'10 nevergonnabetallenough faggit

>>12884017
this more than anything else. Why isn't the dad at your local cornerbar in suburbia considered effay

>>12884089
is that joe rogan

>>12886353
If you own yourself then you can look good whenever you want. Like this man.

>>12889909
Well then how about showing me where I can buy them (that isn't some $500 designer shit)? Because every where I look, all I see is low rise.

>>12889948
too tall

>>12890113
wrangler

80's skate and bmx culture had some nice casual fits.

>>12890297

>>12890308

>>12890327
Who loves short shorts?

>>12890297
noice

>>12890350

>tfw bought a vintage member's only jacket really cheap to wear to an 80s party about 5 years ago
>never got rid of it
>they came back into fashion

Feels good.

>>12889872
Lol thats me. Wrangler cowboy slim fit

>>12890367
There was a mod/new wave revival that was popular with some of the mexican kids over here. A bunch of them were wearing member's only jackets, and then donated them when it wasn't cool anymore.

Found a bunch while thrifting in a lot of colors.

>>12888160
looks ok to me. I did it a couple years ago when there was some 80s revival.

>>12890223
is this model fucking 8 feet tall?
I bought a pair of the slimmest fit possible in blue, and they are baggy as fuck even after washing and drying them numerous times. I'm 6 ft.

>>12890474
what do you mean by baggy? i'm basically the same height and mine more or less look like the pic. they're especially tight in the seat.

>>12890223
I've heard the denim's too heavy, the pockets are too small, and they're too baggy around the ankles. Can anyone confirm or deny?

>>12883738
Not anymore, plebs are bringing this back too hard, it's casual now.
Time to abort.

>>12886521
They aren't. They look like utter shit on the majority of people. There's a great middle ground between jeans that come up to your ball sack and jeans that are go up to belly button.

>>12888160
>>12888171
>>12890466
what is the meme with them?
literally havent heard of or really seen this but it looks decent to me
the brand name itself is edgy but its not like you can read/recognize the font from 50ft away

>>12883738
>>12886651
>>12890727

God, I like stranger things, but that show is like the perfect reality where everyone (including little kids) is dressed in really good taste without any of the ugly shit you remember about the 80s

>>12889409
you should wear something baggier. real skinny jeans are kinda lame now imo

>>12890617
wranglers aren't too heavy

>>12886353
what would you call this blazer

>>12891403
A blazer.

>>12890896
That's pretty much every period tv show, though.
The wardrobe is a greatest hits of fashion for the time. They only trot out the bad looks for humor.

>>12890896
>>12891621
I know it's not the same as clothing but I feel like half of the haircuts in that show are extremely unflattering on purpose and not played for laughs. especially will and jonathan.

>>12890912
>>12889872

I'm fine w/buying women's jeans, they're essentially a unisex item of clothing anyways

i wouldn't say they're *real skinny* though? they're a close, snug fit and i think that will ultimately look best on my body

fyi - i'm pure skeleton... like 26inch waist, 60kg from intensive sports (cycling) and have a lean upper body.

I would like to rock some looser, comfycore kind of fits but unfortunately they tend to look a little ridiculous on me (at my price point at least), like baggy and ill-fitting rather than a drapey silhouette

appreciate the reply though anons and would be keen to hear what u think

>>12891652
Jonathan's hair is fine, but yeah, Will looks terrible.

>>12891696
jonathan looks like anton chigurh

>>12891652
Speaking first hand, the 80s were a pretty unflattering decade for haircuts.

>>12890617
They're skinny boi repellent. Mostly for muscular or big men, they are meant for the rancher/cowboy type anyway. Could be a good or bad thing for you, I like them

>>12891601
i see

>>12890617
I can confirm all three of those. I have very muscular legs with large calves and thighs. The thighs fit perfectly - snug but not awkwardly tight - but the knee to below is wide even for me, and I fill-out a pair of 501s. You really need boots or a tailor.

>>12891819
To expand, this is all reflected on the $30 price tag. You just aren't getting a quality garment unfortunately. I do, however, love the rise (significantly higher than levis) and the way they look from knee-up

>>12890617
They're primary customer base is western fashion not urban fashion.

>>12890617
the denim is basically the best you can get at the price point, they're made for work after all and practically indestructible. never had a problem with the pockets. i would consider them to be medium sized.
>baggy around the ankles
they're straight leg. so whether you consider that 'baggy' or not is up to you i guess

>>12890450
god tier fit. all you need is a gold chain. i was doing that look last summer exactly

>>12886210
I know you're trolling, but those don't fit like any slim from the era. They have a distinct taper on the calf which let's off on the thigh giving the jeans an odd slim crotch skinny calf hibrid look. Those were either one of a kind or tapered, no two buts aout it.

>>12886210
you've established over several posts you don't know what tailoring is/supposed to accomplish

>>12889878
yes it is

>>12889907
have been watching it with a friend and she's loves this jacket. w2c?

bump

>>12893561
>He thinks that if he buys a jacket she likes, she'll fall in love with him

>>12890308
w2c pants

>>12892925
lol are you kidding the tapered silhouette was HUGE in the late 80s

>>12894265
I ain't that much of a cuck. I'd send her the link.

>>12886521
We’re all fat now. 80% or more is at least overweight and obese is pushing 50% in a lot of areas. High waisted jeans would need to flare out to hug the guts and love handles.

>>12893301
the fit of the denim jacket is bretty gud

>>12884089
Late 80s you mean.

>12889409
Ag Matchbox or Rag and Bone Fit 1

What ridicule would one be subjecting oneself to if they were to wear pic related in the 2017th year?

80s was /fa/ in the early to mid 00's,

>>12896098
Looks like a bomber. Nothing special

>>12896098
I dig them.

>>12890308
damn this dude looks evil

Can mullets be /fa/?

>>12896964
saw a dude rocking one the other day - about my age so 22, 23 - clearly reasonably switched on guy culturally, reasonably hip etc

he was dressed quite well and contemporarily, kind of comfycore/skater/mac demarco vibe

it still looked like a dead rat hanging behind his head. just imho it has never looked good and probably never will.

bump

>>12896964
As someone who lived through the original mullet trend, no. No they cannot. Not even ironically.

bumperino

Which ST character is the most effay?

>>12898942
I had a mullet for a brief amount of time in the late 2000s. Paired with my Budweiser trucker cap a lot of hipster girls really liked it. I wish I were joking

>>12899985
Barb ;_;

>>12899985
Dustin for guys, Nancy for girls

>>12899997
>Nancy
Nah. Her look is too "generic nice girl". That red Sherpa jacket was her only standout piece, otherwise she's pretty basic.
I don't think there really is an /fa/ female character on the show. Barb's look was definitely distinct, but it was intentionally un-/fa/.

>>12899985

Definitely Dustin

>>12890352
Disgusting

>>12893561
It's a corduroy sherpa jacket, they're all over the place.

>>12899985
Steve or punk eleven

>>12900252
punk eleven was the worst fit, the whole suicide squad episode was pure cringe

>>12901123
never heard a more wrong opinion. Her features suit the all black, slicked back hair so well.

>>12901147
the hair was good, but outfit, makeup and the whole punk gang was just bad

>that windbreaker
Where to fucking cop??

Apparently David Harbour liked Chief Hopper's hat so much he had an extra one made for himself.

>>12905208
Do you know how good the quality on these are? They look pretty sweet

Am I the only one that loves 80's sweaters?

>>12905621
I don't own a pair myself but judging by the reviews the major complaint seems to be that they run narrow

>>12905716
Well there's like 2 fucking options for wide feet so I'm gonna go ahead and write that off as dumbassery.

>>12891652
>not realizing they are supposed to look too poor to get regular haircuts

>>12905759
My mom used to cut my hair and my little brother's hair, and yet neither of us ever looked half as shitty as Will.
