is it because boomer fits just exude confidence?
stuff like white shirt tucked into jeans just gives of an auro of not giving a shit about you and your puny opions.
xoomer, millenial (think of MFA core, slim fit cringe garbage) and zoomer fits always emit this aura of insecurity and looking for approval.
boomers truly are the most based generation

>>13926993
disagree

>>13926993
every generation that came after boomers, with an emphasis on millenials, are bitches

>>13926993
I think it is in part because clothing in the 50s and 60s was made of much better materials than today's fast fashion stuff.

>>13927040
true.

>>13926993
Usually when you're older, you found the style, which fits you the best and usually you also have the money or at least you stopped spending it on stupid shit like younger people do, so you can afford better clothes.

SJWs and 3rd wave feminism have turned men into pussies

>>13926993
just seems like their styles were more effortless. They didn't have to go on a weeb image board and ask whether to cop or not

>>13927103
this too. boomers don't give a shit about you and your worthless opinions

boomer clothing is also just more aestheticlally pleasing and improve proportions better.
shirts are objectively better than t- shirts
knitwear is objectively better than sweatshirts
t-shirts and sweatshirts also make you look like a povvo

Prior to the explosion of home television, (mens)fashion was a very slow gradual progression, largley based on functionality. Trends would catch on, but they took a while to reach the masses and stayed fashionable for a long time. This lead to many early-mid 20th century styles becoming classic. They're things we still see regularly today and do not look out of place.

Womens styles were always more ornate, but still experienced a gradual progression up until the mid-late 60s when patterns got pretty wacky. TV allowed the fashion and clothing industry to reach millions of people at once and influence what they viewed as contemporary and youthful. Hippies came to be about. Many of whom made and modified their own clothing and designers took note, emulating the styles of the street which paved the way for the base of 1970s fashions. This was easily the largest departure from "traditional" styles in the past 50 years at this point.


There were absolute defining traits for fashions from the late 60s-late 2000s. Today, I wouldn't say we exactly have that. While fashion is cyclical, it was at one time influenced, where now the late 90s/millennium revival seems to be literal cookie cutter copies of guys from the era, often made with actual vintage peices. The internet has destroyed regional fashion and natural progression.

Let me be clear, I'm referring to fashion of the masses. So called "normie" clothes, as these represent traits of an era much moreso than runway or exclusive boutique trends you rarely see in the street.

The closest thing to real defining traits on the 2010s is athleisure. Much like trends in the early 20th century, athletic attire is designed for a purpose. This makes for a more natural progression than trends attempting to be "different" for the sake of being different.

You can sum it up under the old adage, "Fashion is temporary, style is eternal". Things like simple button downs, peacoats, chinos and cardigans will always have a place because they've had a place for so long. Details and fit may change slightly here and there but stick with a well fitting classic silhouette and you've got a winning wardrobe for years to come.

honestly a good explanation, thanks

they embraced chad regular fit

Seems kind of obvious but these photos are all on film, too. Film makes light and clothing dyes and body frames and shit look a lot different than digital photos.

>>13927006

>oh wow fashionable
id think
>this shitty white trash moron is about to rob me

Gen gen gen waaaaaaahhh

Any insight on why you think this particular picture is reposted on /fa/ so often? This is how most tweekers and poor blue collar guys look on the daily

>>13927847
because people on /fa/ like to larp as working class guys with a purpose who life life on the edge.
while being nerdy college students irl

this is funny. people using pics of well dressed celebs and ivy league students as examples. no shit they are dressed well.

>>13927898
compare it with celebs and ivy league students of today then, and see for yourself

>>13927903
Ivy league students are all chink nerds these days

>>13927847
because ryan gosling is handsome and they mistake that for his outfit being good

>>13927898
Modern ivy students dress in athleisure and celebs dress in jeans t shirt or hypebeast stuff

>>13927052
I don't think there's been a more alpha man than Delon in his prime, and this pic is the peak

>>13928270
That's Jacques Charrier, no?

>>13926993
>boomers
>dressing nice
maybe they did back when they were younger in '66 but today's boomers exclusively wear new balance, starched jeans and 20y/o wifebeaters with holes in them. I should know, my entire family are boomers who dress like this. Boomers had it easy -- clothes back then were made to last and served a function while looking nice simultaneously. Now that they're older, and there's more choices, we see clearly that boomers lack taste. The fashion "trends" from when they were kids were pre-determined by advanced marketers and there was little room for individuals to fuck up because literally all clothes looked nice. The only way you could fuck it up is if you bought the wrong size.

>glorifying actual boomers
>the generation that single handedly fucked up the Western world for generations to come
>grew up in the biggest wealth humanity has ever seen
>literal scum of the earth

You should be ashamed. These cockroaches deserve to burn in hell and they're anything but effay.

>Jacques Charrier

You're right, I stand corrected. Not dissimilar looking though, no?

boomers are the most based generation. allow this copypasta to explain why:
Boomers are the most based generation there is.

They always cared about themselves, when they were younger they protested for better rights for themselves. Now that they're older they vote for parties that give more money to old people and make houses etc. more expensive for young people. Boomers always cared about themselves.
Everything a boomer does is about confidence. The way he dresses. A boomer doesn't give a shit about you and your slim fit garbage cringey shit, he wears regular fit shirts tucked into regular fit jeans because he can, he doesn't give a shit what you think.
He smokes because he likes it, he doesn't care what doctors and politicians say.
He drives a Camaro because he wants to, why should he care if it pollutes, he won't feel the repercussions himself.

Boomers are the best generation, they always worked for themselves, they did what they wanted and they always improved their own life.
Meanwhile you, a millenial/xoomer/zoomer bitch is whining on the internet about your problems, while also not voting or protesting or doing anything to change your generation.
YOU ARE A BITCH. YOU ARE PART OF THE BITCH GENERATION
boomers are based. they are part of the based generation

>>13928485
boomers are the reason we're all fags living in a jew'd out society with 0 personal freedom or economic security. I wish I could see your punk ass irl so I could smack you straight to the 9th circle of hell where you came from. fuck you faggot

>>13928583
do something about it, bitch generation

>>13928270
I agree, an absolute alpha

>>13926993
boomers knew about secrets like tucking in, regular fit, not dressing like a povvo and more

>>13929538
GW with the cigarette

Dubaya was absolutely based in his prime

>>13926993
Because boomers and the greatest generation both got their fashion sense from society and their parents. Which was the silent generation and the greatest generation. But millennials and gen z get their fashion sense from their parents aka boomers and gen Xs

>>13929737
zoomers definetly don't dress like boomers. a true boomer would never go out in sweatpants

>>13927022
the fit on this gentleman's jeans is exactly what i've been trying to pull off for years

>>13929255
any day now our country is going to default on it's outstanding liabilities (mostly social security that boomers didn't earn yet feel strongly entitled to) and when that happens, it's day of the rope for you, old man

This thread is disgusting and another reason why I never listen to you fags for advice.

>>13930402
t. trackpants wearing, sweatshirt toting zoomer

>>13926993
older people look more fa

Probably cause they had money and free time to be an adult and learn to act like one while we are lucky to get a career and move out before age 30

>>13926993
Boomer fashion of its time was still very oriented around
>suits
>things that can be worn with suits
>thinks that can be worn around suits
>functional things that won't stand out with suits

>>13927022
God these people had the fucking word handed to them, and they just pissed it away.

>>13926993
their clothes weren't made in a malaysian sweatshop and they werent stuck at a desk for the first 60 years of their life

>>13931292
