/fa/ - Fashion

I like those threads where anons who know couture culture posts, however you rarely see these now

>>14538453
Yeah see that's interesting, informative, OC, or media and not just a shit post.

>OC
>lots of pictures when asking for advice
>talk shit post fit
>clothing in pop culture
>history threads
>documentaries, videos, podcasts
>brand specific threads
>DIY
>cringe
>care and upkeep
lmao so you have no idea what makes a community great

>>14538463
you tell me then bigboy

>>14538448
not reading all that lol

No,that would be /fit/ by 50 milles,go fix that first

>>14538465
the fact that /fa/ managed to jump from peacoat to gothninja is already impressive. it's not the user's fault for not being creative when none of them are the creators. Better yet, i suggest you do not be a creator when you have no idea what the fuck you're doing, see:'Lunarchan'.

bookmarked to read later

>>14538483
fit is funny and informative

>>14538485
yeah you can always cherry-pick one or two good posters who make OC. being into clothing is inherently 'creative' idk what you're talking about

>>14538505
>cherry-pick
okay

>OP mentions race
The knowledge about one's race is fundamental to fashion, though. A white man with box braids wearing yeezys and goofy clothing looks terrible, but the same outfit may work on a black man. Same thing happens with blacks who try to hard and pull off the house negro look that looks just as bad. Every race has their own fashion trends that need to be respected.
>thinly veiled porn threads "how should hot girls dress" (hot girls don't come to /fa/)
It's not that big of a problem because the focus of these threads usually IS clothing. The odd cases when it is in fact irrelevant to fashion, i guess you are right.
>tranny threads. if you are female - buy female clothes. if you are a male - buy male clothes. (we can help you no further than this)
Agreed, but no one ever likes trannies, every single thread they make they get called out for their faggotry, they only keep going because they are obnoxious. If there is some odd way to make them leave, the entire website would be thankful.
>is _ /fa/
I agree, those threads are utter garbage. Not even reddit has those levels of low-effort.
>body threads
Nah, they belong here as well. They are inherently different from those of /fit/ since they usually discuss the aesthetics of certain body shapes, and not techniques on how to achieve and maintain them.

>>14538448
yeah threads like this are gr8, keep it up ;) saged

>>14538531
>Every race has their own fashion trends that need to be respected.
dumb. close-minded.
>It's not that big of a problem because the focus of these threads usually IS clothing.
narrow it down then. "hot summer clothes for sluts" is a lot nicer than "hot girls in clothing"
>fuck trannies

>They are inherently different from those of /fit/ since they usually discuss the aesthetics of certain body shapes
all fit discusses is aesthetics lol.
>and not techniques on how to achieve and maintain them.
That's actually false, /fa/'s advice and techniques?
>JUST STARVE URSELF
while /fit/ takes a more normal approach for healthy people, as in:
>exercise and eat healthy to achieve your goal body

>>14538542
>Every race has their own fashion trends that need to be respected.
>dumb. close-minded.

>>14538553
>you can't do that with ur hair its for blacks only

thats you

>>14538542
>dumb. close-minded.
Well, that's a nice way to discredit your entire post.

>>14538567
Sorry, dumb and close-minded come to mind when someone tells me I "can't" wear my hair a certain way because of my skin color.

>>14538570
You certainly *can* wear it any way you want, but it WILL be silly and ugly and calling out ugly shit is the entire purpose of /fa/

>>14538570
Every race has their own fashion trends that need to be respected.

have your culture appropriation, it's not all bad
seriously. as long as you know they have the original anyway

>>14538582
You're thinking about it way too hard, it's just clothes and style.
>>14538579
yeah calling ugly shit out is fine don't make an entire thread for it, put it in cringe if it's that bad. "OP post mentions race"

>>14538592
when you think someone is thinking too hard, that means you've stopped progressing.

>>14538559

>>14538606
a guatemalan could pull this off

>>14538603
>when you think someone is thinking too hard, that means you've stopped progressing.

and sometimes you need to step back and say it's just clothes

>>14538448

Menswear is suits. Fashion is for women.

>>14538685

worthless meaningless shitpost from pretentious non-creator

>>14538700
>non-creator
oh OP you don't have to refer yourself as worthless. Self-hate is unhealthy

Real men wear no clothes.

You're part of the cancer.
Now check em.

>>14538707
>>14538737
not a argument

>>14538448
>/fa/ is the worst board
Not the worst but pretty bad yeah
>OP mentions race
this can be on topic if it specifically relates to the clothing and how it looks on certain races. The better of these conversations usually involve some color theory.
>porn threads
Yes I would be ok with deleting these but we don't have any jannies.
>tranny threads
These are a new shithole phenomenon that provide nothing so I agree, but read above
>is _ /fa/
This and /pol/ has (within the last 3 years) been the biggest problem on the board. But again, read above
>long rant about MFA and /fa/
nah you're wrong here, we've got the best archives and guides that you should be able to read these for yourself and it'll provide more help than any time on MFA. this will likely never change.
>body threads
when it talks about the aesthetic for clothes or inspo, no, these are /fa/ related. just talking about achieving a certain body? yeah that's /fit/.
>good threads
>OC
Of course
>pictures/advice
Of course
>tspf
Of course
>pop culture
keep /cel/ the fuck out desu, but it's content so if you must:The recent jonah hill threads are shit, the bieber stuff is meh, shia stuff is eh, but chalamet or ezra is ok
>history threads
Yes, we need more of these
>docs, videos, podcasts
Yes, we need more of these
>brand specific threads
literally asking for online marketing to set up shop, fuck off

yeah that'd be nice

>>14538448
>if you are female - buy female clothes. if you are a male - buy male clothes. (we can help you no further than this)
wrong

>>14538774
thanks for input, MFA rant was making fun of "is this effay" threads since nobody knows what's effay around here. MFA is awful lol

>literally asking for online marketing to set up shop, fuck off
I'm talking inspo-only, like we used to have rick threads where people actually posted OC of their sick collections.

>>14538793
thanks for input, very good argument

>>14538802
well if it's just inspo threads for a brand then that's fine I guess. I remember the full rick inspo threads but I genuinely don't believe anyone here does full rick anymore, and I'm not sure what full styles they even do if you can put a label on it. But also >labeling
I'm a poorfag so I mostly thrift and put together 80% good trad or other styles I enjoy.

>>14538471
>not reading that lol

>>14538809
>but I genuinely don't believe anyone here does full rick anymore

we should be attracting posters not scaring them off

>>14538857
please fuck off to discord

>>14538531
Ok, so hypothetically, if there are certain styles that go well with a respective race… what do when mixed race?

>>14538988
Genotype is irrelevant to fashion, so that aspect can be easily ignored. What is left is your phenotype which can either be closer to one of the races of your parents, which would simply mean you fit in one of those categories; or you have a particular mixed race look that often has it's own fashion characteristics. The best example of this are "latinos", which are often considered a race of itself in these threads, but are in fact a large number of mixed-race people that fit the latter case I mentioned. This is also the reason why most "white latinos" in the vulgar sense often can not pull a traditional latino aesthetic.

>>14538448
I definitely miss dyi threads had some really cool stuff being made.

>>14538448
imagine making a meta thread instead of a thread you want to see

>>14539351
also this

>>14539351
>>14539357
imagine being this useless

>>14539359
imagine posting a post like that instead of STILL not making a thread you want to see

>>14538603
>there no such thing as over thinking
Lol k

Good threads:
>OC
>lots of pictures when asking for advice
>clothing in pop culture (If discussed properly)
>history threads
>documentaries, videos, podcasts
>brand specific threads
>DIY
>care and upkeep

Essentially good thread are:
1. OC not recycled garbage you see every second post
2. Informative when asking about opinions about yourself.
3. Proper content & context surrounding fashion. Weather self-improvement or inspiration.
4. Actually being you not fitting into a box is the most /fa/.

OP: Is this /effay/?
Anon: No it isn't.
Now we don't need those Threads.

Last but not least you want a good board make it a good board yourself. If everyone tried to make a board good it would be done overnight.

>>14539997
Also sticky W2C & Cop or Not & skincare threads at the minimum. We don't need 50 different variations.

>>14538448
Fuck off back to r3ddit with your anti white rhetoric

>>14538448
I wish the mods would enforce some quality control since this is a interest board not /b/ so it's annoying we get gay shit. I hate those "how do I look like this rapper" threads the most since anyone with a functioning brain and frontal lobe development can just go to worldstarhiphop and ID shit. Or even better; follow their insta. This goes for any celeb but it's mostly black "people" who just want to copy looks hoping that they'll look cool.

also tranny threads are against the rules, report on site. This isn't plebbit you go to your board lgbt board and talk about whatever gross crap you sinful abominations like. So report these threads on site anons, they're gross and bluepilled and just circlejerk each other the entire time.

>>14538531
>OP race is good
No it's not black "people" dress all the same giving them fashion advice is like administering medicine to the dead. They don't care unless it's hype, I have yet to see a single black person anywhere have knowledge of anything but hype brands.

>thinly veiled porn
agreed since a bikini on a lady can look lit and sexy
>body threads
They feel like /fit/ threads

>>14538685
he's just sick of braindead underage kids on this board.
>>14538692
this is boomer logic
>>14538793
it's right, if you are tranny you go to that gay board (the actual gay one) because your focus is your sexuality and gender not the clothes.

>>14538448
this is a good post, thank you anon for setting the record straight

You're surrounded by, or hang around, ghetto trash.

>>14540294
I don't think this board has jannies

>>14538774
Just wanted to say that /diy/ is not for clothes and the diy threads here are pretty awesome and produce OC

>>14538448
agree

Race is important to certain threads. Not every race has the same hair type.
