/fa/ - Fashion

Instead of looking at brands, develop a sense of style and purchase items from thrift stores that go with your style.

>>13541237
Wrong, thrifting isn't /fa/. Buy new clothing that will form properly with your body.

are zara and uniqlo cringe tier?

>>13541260
nah man, we all secretly love uniqlo zara and h and m

>>13541232
>thrifting isn't /fa/

thrift shops at my area (munich) are absolute garbage

>>13541260
zara is, nothing wrong with Uniqlo and H&M is hit or miss. Some of their stuff is great, especially at sale prices
>>13541271
if you can afford to live in Munich as a student you already have enough money

>>13541283
i didnt even ask about h&m on purpose, cause its absolute garbage

uniqlo stuff looks nice, but painfully basic. like there isnt any inspiration behind the clothes, its just something you use to cover your belly

>>13541286
>cause its absolute garbage
it isnt even that bad lmao. Try their edition line pullovers and youll see

Imagine being this guy.

>>13541290
Sorry, but I have trust issues with the eternal Swede

Boy, I am also from Munich
C'mon we have cos, carhartt, nudie, closed, stereo, solebox schwittenberg, hrvst etc
Sure thrift stores are shit here, stepping in picknweight makes me want to kill myself, but still, you can dress on a budget

starting at LMU next semester. munich meetup when ?

>>13541310
>cos, carhartt, nudie, closed, stereo, solebox schwittenberg, hrvst

Thanks! I’ll take a look at these
Are any of them budget friendly? (Eg, good shirts for no more than €50?)

>>13541310
Also, any way to shop for Asian brands in Munich? Or even South Germany at large?

>>13541318
Cos and carhartt are you best bets
Oh, right, and check out Konen near Sendlinger Tor
It is a big mall, where you can always find stuff on sale

>>13541323
Depends on what brands do you search

In the past I have always used thelabelfinder website
It is not 100% accurate, but still usefull

>>13541340
I don’t know what labels to look for in the first place

I just though there’s a shop or mall where many Asian brands are clustered

Hey there anon.
Clothes that you buy from H&M and Zaras and shit is just going to wear and tear in a couple of months and you'll have to buy more clothes to replace them; It's an expensive,wasteful cycle. Buy high quality stuff and you'll only have to buy them once. IMO this is especially true for things like bottoms, jackets, shoes etc.
One thing I flake on a little is tees, which I mostly buy from Uniqlo, start ups, and occasionally H&M.
If you're poor buy expensive but choose your purchases wisely, that way you'll have clothes to love for years to come.

I still wear walmart shirts I wore in high school 6 years ago. Only a few of them have holes which are easy to repair even if you're a beginner at sewing.

>>13541428
>Clothes that you buy from H&M and Zaras and shit is just going to wear and tear in a couple of months and you'll have to buy more clothes to replace them
urban myth. Contrary to what most believe those clothes dont fall apart

Then don't buy 300 dollar shoes? You can make a look out of some 60 dollar dad shoes or vans, you don't have to pay 1000's of dollars to look good.

>>13541309
nigga, you're a wageslave. stop being picky.

In Munich, I can recommend Muji, it has cool nip stuff for very accessible prices

>>13541232
go with uniqlo and thrift stores

>>13541318
take a look at samsa-g tuchwaren

>>13541238

Impossible. Everything is tailored to fat people. You have to learn to tailor shit yourself or shell out the sheckles for a tailor

>>13541490
Vans, osiris, DC ect are all good budget fashion brands.

>>13541232
Fellow /uni/ student here, I usually go to H&M. They always have knock offs of brand items and it's on the more cheap side as opposed to Zara. The quality isn't all that great, but they have form fitting sizes and they do keep up with Current trends. Other than that, you can get lucky if you go to Ross or a thrift store every once in a while.

>>13541641
I find ebay/ect to be good for a lot of things too, and some good deals especially if you can haggle the price down. Avoid clothes that don't have measurements listed obviously. I've copped some good shit off of it.

>>13541238
Good goy

>>13541238
Good prole

>>13541268
Speak for yourself poorfag

>>13541310
any munich recs? insider shops, thrifts, etc?

>>13541446

THIS. These stores clothes dont just disintegrate like dust after 6 months. Kek


>>13541232
OP get a cheap used Sewing Machine from a pawnshop or Craigs List/ Kijiji for under $50 and just buy cheap shit from places like Aliexpress/ DH Gate, H&M, Zara, Asos, and Check out Thrift Stores to find the occasional gold nugget esp when you get a sewing machine, you can buy super cheap baggy thrift pants and clothes, and tailor them into something that looks nice and costs less than $5/$10..

For godsakes I went to EVERY SINGLE DollarTree in my city and bought almost EVERY SINGLE T-shirt.

Why? Because EACH shirt was $1.25 which means I got almost 100 Black/ Olive/ White/Lunar Orange/ Navy Blue, shirts for around $100 and they fit pretty well and the quality is pretty good for a $1 dollar shirt, and I bought the baggy ones they had becuase I could tailor them into something more fitted but elongated and its cheaper than buying fabric

Just cause you're a broke college student doesnt mean you have to look like a bum nor does it mean you have to spend an arm and a leg to get cool or nice looking clothes, it's all about the design and are you willing to make fits with it or tailor it into something that's nice

>>13542018
Hide (m) at rosenheimer platz for avantgarde/artisinal fashion
(Its inside a house, youll have to ring the doorbell marked Hide(m) at the address to get in). They have a lot of guidi, layer 0, BBS, lost & found, rick and more (also some more local artisinal designers in the same vain as the above mentioned)
Woman/Man near odeonsplatz is another favorite of mine. They stock rick, Ann D, Neil Barett, Acne, Lemaire, Golden Goose and more.
Schwittenberg which is close to odensplatz aswell stocks some more traditional brands like APC, Dries, Stephan Schneider and MMM

>>13542028
what do you think about this
https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/for/d/singer-sewing-machine/6639540608.html
almost every other sewing machine for sale are industrial and $300+

>>13541238
t. Teaching mens fashion

>>13541238
You should alter your clothes whether or not they’re new or thrifted, how does fit have anything to do with it?

>>13541628
Buy from european brands (Inditex, hm, etc)

>>13542095
Let me guess ... none of these are budget *sigh*

>>13542276
Those are southern asian brands

>>13542095
Should I bother going there if I’m not going to buy. I just want to see the pieces in real life.
I’m visiting Europe from a third world country

>>13542276
dont buy from Inditex. Their quality is literally the same as primark while 3x the price. H&M group (cos/weekday/hm/arket/cheap Monday) is way better and not as tryhard imo

>>13542292
Sadly they are quite expensive :(
I know of cos near marienplatz and Kauf dich glücklich and LST-store near gärtnerplatz for a bit more affordable clothing. T-shirts maybe in the 20-40 € area
>>13542301
Woman/man and Schwittenberg you can just go in and take a look! I have done so myself many times :) The employees are all very friendly, quite knowledgeable and are likely to be open for a chat if its not too busy.
The guy who works at hide(m) is also really nice and knows a lot about what he's selling. He's very helpful and I've been there as well without buying something (I dress mostly in Rick, yohji etc so I might have looked more like a potential customer there tho). It feels a lot more private and I feel a bit bad about not buying everything after he helped me out, let me try on whatever I wanted and even gave me a free bear once and a glass of some really nice gin another time.

>>13542349
anything* not everything. I'm not rich lmao

>>13541237
this unironically

Poorfag general?
I own a jacket that's too large around the shoulders and I'm going to try and fix it after I practice on an old shirt. I'm gonna have to rip off the sleeves and cut the fabric where the arm hole is on the body of the jacket and sew the arm back on, but the problem is I don't know how I'm going to get the sleeve to fit after I cut the fabric since I'll be making the arm hole larger at the top. Maybe I can stitch the armpit area tighter to make up for the enlarging of the hole? Can anyone help me?

>>13541428
>and shit is just going to wear and tear in a couple of months and you'll have to buy more clothes to replace them
are you rock climbing in your clothes or something?

>>13542028
pics like this make me realize how stupid fashion is

>>13541232

Fellow poorfag here. Besides thrifting, you should try Swap.com. It's an online consignment shop. I get my clothes super cheap from there.

>>13541260
i like zara for pants and that's it. and even then, it's dodgy. uniqlo is good. i ain't fuck with h&m tho.

>>13541628
>Everything is tailored to fat people.
bane of my existence

>>13543144
zara is worse than hm quality and pricewise

>>13543179
i dunno, i've had h&m jeans fade, stretch, and wear on me fast. zara seems to last a little longer. anyways, i'm wearing trousers most of the time anyways and a few of zara's slacks fit me pretty well.

Discount stores
Sometimes you can find some really good shit for cheap

>>13542260
This doesnt seem too bad, for the price I was gonna suggest to get a brand new basic singer for $100 but this older sewing machine seems like theres much more stitching options and it looks like it may even have a embroidery option to make your own logos and words so its probably alot better than a new basic machine

just make sure you go to Walmart and get the right size needles and some black and white thread and then watch some youtube vids on how to set it up and grab an old pair of Jean's or a baggy shirt and practice making it into a fitted shirt or pants

I suggest watching KenAndrewDaily in youtube he does ALOT of sewing vids and how to's like making your own noragi and tech pants and zipper shirts etc etc
