/fa/ - Fashion

>>14845910
It’s called get a job that’s not minimum wage. I make 60k a year which is good but not amazing or rich and I can afford most cloths I want

>>14845910
my bills are 900$ a month in NYC
i make 3400$ a month
rest goes to food which i dont eat a lot of, tattoos, and clothing.
I work 5 days, 60 hours a week.
no gf, wife, etc.

Im not rich but my dad is and he gifts me crockett and jones shoes and barbour jackets and stuff like that

nah, i only thrift or buy second hand designer from internet auctions

>>14845923
to include rent? how many square feet? do you have your own bathroom?

>>14845910
what the fuck is wrong with you crossposting faggots

another thrifter here, that or swap or get items other people are looking to get rid of. use the rest of the clothes for painting or repurpose them another way. just look out for clothes that last mostly.

I'm not, I just set enough aside to buy designer pieces

>>14845910
>How is it that every time someone says that they buy at Zara's or something you call them "poorfags"
This is a problem among younger people and, by extension, 4chan. The rest of the fashion world thrifts and buys clothes on discounts and sales or get things like samples or display pieces.
The people that buy designer clothes new (and who aren't crazy rich) just budget well, keeping a small wardrobe and buying one expensive piece at a time.

>>14845910
Because we don't want the board to be filled with threads about fucking levi vs wrangler or 'should I cop this h&m bomber?'

Unfortunately, it already is.

Bro fashion is a luxury in itself, its literally overpriced garments that appease people in a artistic or personal way. which means it will attract people who are willing to pay for it, aka rich people/ rich kids with rich parents.

>>14845910

As someone who may be living in nyc soon, could you explain how your bills are so low?

>>14846147
Not him but his bills are low because he lives with roommates. His apartment is probably not that nice, though I've seen people luck out with cheap rent for newer/renovated places in Brooklyn. He also spends most of his life working and commuting, already admitted to not dating, probably has no debt from school etc.

>>14845910
If you look at the WAYWT's youll figure out quickly enough that its not a board full of big city rich kids. People who spend more money on clothes are more likely to post there, yet they arent really to be seen there.

Its an anonymous board and people like to appear like theyre better off.

>>14846183

There's a very fine line between posting your newest cop and bragging, and no doubt insecure-flame-spamming would arise if people posted their high end stuff here. There are different forums in the internet for that.

You're taking shitposting seriously, ya retard.
If you have a working brain then you can quite easily tell that almost every piece of advice on this board is either a shitpost or the results of the autistic dudes who lurk here and don't understand sarcasm sincerely thinking they look good dressed as an 80 grand coat stand.
There are rich idiots here, but if you browse enough of the waywt threads you'll figure out quickly why you shouldn't listen to them. But, like, if you earn massive money then you may as well buy really expensive clothes.

>>14845910
here's a list of people you'll encounter:

2. rich dumb cunt who gets money from their parents

>>14848290
I unfortunately got stuck with a government related project and its most mind numbing bureaucratic work, probably will go back to school for product design or something a little more creative and involved. That being said you're not buying 10k jackets at this salary but you can buy a lot of nice things if you budget correctly.

>>14845910
you know that people are capable of LYING right?

>>14848331
Yikes, (((government))) jobs surely are a pain in the soul. And yeah, I probably couldn’t afford a 10k but that’s why I said the struggle part, I could afford it but then I’d have to eat less for a month or so and not spend money on anything else. Tried once with a 5k croc. skin jacket and at the end of the day I barely wear it, and I do still enjoy going to Zara from time to time, fast fashion and everything but there’s some pieces that me and my wife enjoy and don’t really see often. Got her a nice little pleated cashmere skirt the other day with a plaid pattern. Are pieces like that why I keep going, it was like $70 or something.

designer fashion is expensive because it expensive to make, but also because there is implied exclusivity by price and you’re paying for the label. it’s like a social club you buy your way into to get compliments. it’s pretty gay. there are certainly guys wearing mainline rick who live in a dorm and survive off of instant meals.

>>14846749

To discuss sneakers, ID items and post normie clothing. Majority of people have no clue about new trends or what the top designers are up to this season, so there's no point in making threads about them.

Absolute most basic nerd here, only just got told tucking your shirt in was the normal thing to do recently. I was gonna go to Zaras and similar shops to buy some stuff tomorrow, is that a fair decision given my situation? I have three trousers, one pair of shoes, ten t-shirts, three jumpers and one coat.
Second-hand shops basically don't exist in my city, I think.

>>14852038
Tell me about it. Ever since moving to the developing world I've accidentally flexed on so many people by just bringing up my western expectancies of what's cheap and expensive.

>Second-hand shops basically don't exist in my city

It feels good to make money and spend it on Rick. I notice many of my friends who have started making more will move from fashion to buying art pretty quick. It's almost like the same thing but has more dimensions to it.

Just as a heads up, unless they post pics of themselves, you should assume people aren't wearing the stuff that they criticize you for not wearing.

>tfw essentially poor cuz constantly spend money on nice clothing and shoes

you have a wife and mortgage at 25, you're an outlier
if you work a full time job and are only paying rent there's plenty left over

>>14845910
1) save up your neetbux
2) lie
its that simple

i make approx 120k/y i can afford to spend around 1500 a month in clothes, but i rarely spend that much, i probably spend around 200 a month

>>14845910
let me help you out bro

1. most here live at home, have hardly any bills and with a minimum paying job can literally spend their whole check on clothes

2. how I did it... think of having a wardrobe as a separate bank account. each month you put away a % of your salary towards buying clothes. fashion is a hobby for me so I probably put aside more than the average. try to buy clothes that retain/hold value. you wont always be as lucky and strike gold with a "archival piece" that will resell for more but if you get at least more than half of your money back i'd say thats a good deal compared to say if you bought a fast fashion jacket which you would just toss/donate for 100% net loss. after reselling clothes you then use that to reinvest back into your wardrobe. im an old fag and have been doing this for 10+ years. now combing the monthly amount I put aside each month and the money i get from reselling you could see that i have a good amount to play around. also I literally only shop twice a year, june/july and december/january when everything goes on sale it goes to 60-80% off. just this month I shamefully spent about 4k on clothes but i'm not worried at all because I know I'll make that right back in the coming weeks when I start reselling things. but I admit this is p fucking bad. try to keep your closet small and sell shit immediately as you lose interest in it.

as a final note. dont compare yourself to other people. like I said previously not everyone has to pay for other shit like you and can devote most of their salary to just being /fa/. or there are just some people that are just rich fags. go at your own pace and one day you'll get to where you want to be.

I didn't even finish college and live in NYC, but just get some boring sales job and save. I literally don't buy anything unless there's a sale and usually there's a bunch left over. I was also always pretty frugal. I can make 20 last longer than most.

>>14858839
Sales for a big company. Someone mentioned earlier about solar panels, you want to get in on something like that. Where you could pretend to sound smart and get idiots to buy your shit. I do pharmaceutical sales and don't really know anything about it, I legit just copied bullshit from Mad Men and movies to bullshit my way into selling doctors products.

Granted, this is 4chan so some of your guys have trouble with people,but honestly, think of these people as fuckers you're never going to see again and it becomes a lot easier to deal with the anxiety. I think I do better with strangers than people I actually know at this point.

>>14856342
This as well. I resell a lot of shit. The only thing I really have are like four pairs of Ace Cash's, Acne Tee's and New Legacy pullovers. Everything else is rotated out pretty quickly.
The easiest way to get puss is to have your own place that looks nice. Most of my shit just goes to home decor at this point. While budgeting my /fa/ shit.

OP, most of this board is fantasy, projection, and brand worship. It's the result of being poor, not rich. Actual rich people don't wear Gucci, Prada, etc. They get their clothing bespoke. At best, the richest people here are middle class, but the vast majority are working class - and that's fine. That's how the world works.
One thing you'll notice this that most the pics are models. These very thin, tall people are chosen by advertising agencies to model clothing that is tailored to that model's body. It's just an advert.
If you get clothing that fits, wear it well, and wear it with confidence, you're ahead of the game over 90% of people, especially compared to guys.
We're mostly poorfags, and we wear what we can afford, and what looks good. When we go get really upscale shit, it's probably second hand.

I dress poorer than 90+% of the fucks here.
Shit like AE/Adidas/etc.
I make about 12k CAD per month before overtime/holiday/etc.
Most people here are younger and live at home/etc. so their entire paycheck can go to clothes if they want.

>>14863643
god in heaven

I'm in my 20's and I make ~12k/mo not factoring in annual bonuses/stock. I still shop at zara and H&M and other poorfag shit because blowing a ton of money on something that doesn't have internet access, or an engine seems kinda retarded to me.

No I only shop at Goodwill, Dollar Tree and the local trap house.

>>14846183
oh my

>>14869004
What do you do?

>>14845923
$3400/mo is not enough to live on your own in manhattan you larping faggot.

>>14869228
not really. I know ppl who live in the upper west side who pay less than op. theres also ppl who won housing lotteries. ppl who rent out rooms or ppl who just live in the projects. dont talk about shit you dont know about you tourist

>>14869228
Yeah it is. I do

no kitchen, toilet and a stall shower.

>>14869203
I’m a sales engineer at a tech start up.

>>14869746
>sales engineer
Literally gayest job imaginable

>>14846227
Sometimes I do meme fits with a bunch of obnoxious logos just to get waywt regulars big mad

>>14846624
I've actually found decent shoes that still had the tags at thrift places

>>14845910
im poor ass shit but still got drip
thats because i buy everything off sales & second hand.

i also buy clothes pretty rarely, maybe 4 times a year.

>>14845910
3k usd/mo a month in Taipei as a Data Engineer.

>uniqlo white/black/grey/navy plain tshirts
>levi's light wash/black jeans/navy
>chinos
>sneakers (samba, stan smith, bw army) in black/white
>uniqlo bomber, parka, cardigan

Tell me why I should change anything from my daily fit and spend ludicrous amounts of dosh on clothes.

The only time I almost purchased something more than 200 usd on a single piece of clothing was on some Yohji shit, but that's only because I regularly walk through one of their outlets here.

Don't know about you guys, but 200 usd is enough for a return ticket to neighboring counties.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

>>14845920
>cloths
Retard

>>14845910
I make my own food, don't drink, don't smoke, no gf.
Also low ball to get the drip for the low.

Caring this much

>live in tokyo, not on a super populated line, but nice neighborhood
>work in the IT field
>pay ~550$USD for rent, studio apartment with kitchen/bathroom, utilities/internet make everything around ~700$USD
>eat cheaply, go out for drinks occasionally, stay in and cook a lot of the time
>transportation's where a lot of my money goes to when i want to go out

i can afford to buy designer clothes each month and live sparingly but comfortably.

Moving to nippon in a year, looking into Tokyo and Hokaido for college. Any recommendations (my Japanese is very poor but my gf speaks it like 60%)

>>14845920
>60k

ahahahahahaha

>>14861959
never ever

>>14871402
That’s pretty good. I graduated college and only made 45k starting out in marketing

>>14845910
>how can you afford it?
everything "expensive" i have is from a thrift store and i usually restore it just to trigger the pretentious cucks here
the stuff i wear everyday is from my local tailor and it costs fraction of the mass-produced fashion bullshit plus the cloths actually fit me, not some plastic statue

>>14847221
we get it you're a nurse, you dont have to remind everyone that breathes in your direction

t. pharmacist

>>14871391
no idea what would be in hokkaido; cool to visit but idk about living there.

tokyo's easy to live in. look at places around the inokashira line (the further from shibuya the better). koenji's cool, rent is relatively cheap too.

>>14872172
Am I going to have a lot of language barriers? I lived in Spain and Italy for a year each and didn’t have much trouble with the language, my gf insists that I have to learn Japanese ASAP but it just seems so difficult to me.

Good job for recent college grad

>>14872191
you can get by with barely any japanese; but i highly suggest you study or practice speaking/listening. if you're moving here, getting an apartment and doing the government stuff is a headache (i know conversational japanese, and still had trouble)

>>14845910
Most fags here usually has no interesting hobbies so they don't spend their money and use clothes to supplement their lack of personality

>>14873667
uhhh, fashion can be a hobby and clothing can be a direct form of self expression? the fuck are you saying? whats an interesting "hobby" and how is it different from fashion?

>>14845910
If OP wasn't such a fag he would understand that there's a line between 1000$+ clothes and fucking Zara

>>14845923

Reminds me of that reddit post where someone said they own a casual business in nyc and caught everyone having an gang bang

>>14845910
i keep coming back to this thread to coom at that pic

anyone ever worked on a cruise ship?

>>14874213
What's wrong with Zara

>>14876092
yes
what do you want to konw?

>>14876771
it is such poor quality it is basically disposable clothing

>>14845910
>I feel like it's most likely 15y-olds hypefags mommy's credit card and wannabe-rich larpers.

And you would be correct.

It is easy to tell they are teenage Zoomers lacking style sense.

>>14876796
What was your job and how much did you earn? Also the length of your contract and how many coworkers did you hook up with? Any passengers? I know you can be fired if caught

The solution to being a poorfag is literally to own a sewing machine and learn to operate it in rather basic ways, then to buy high quality stuff on sale or thrift it and alter it to your body's proportions. I also dye most basic clothing in a deep black. This is the one and only secret to be /fa/. If you really want some extravagant piece you can also invest time and effort into learning how to make it yourself (although there is a high chance it might come out badly).

>60K is solid especially if it's not a hcol area

t. makes double that in a very hcol area
