anyone have experience with wearing shoes (non-sneakers) that are 1-2 euro sizes too big?

I have some boots that are 1 size up and they're not great to wear. been meaning to get some thick socks to wear them with -- any suggestions? now I see some oxfords in the same size that I know will sell soon, not sure if I should shell out the $ if they'll be unwearable

>>15973188
have you tried insoles?
if they're too long you can't do much. you can try heel cushions but from my experience they don't do much.

>>15973182
Can someone just link me an easy guide on making my own clothes including what's a cheap good sewing machine and where to get cheap good materials and supplies?
Doesn't even have to look that good, just unremarkable and not take forever to make.

is the current line of acne denim true to size? or should i size down? acne north jeans seemed loose in my normal size so i'm trying to figure out if that's the way they're supposed to fit or not. most model pics i see seem to imply that but idk

>>15973193
>insoles
THANK YOU! I tried insoles a while back but returned them because none of my shoes had the space. they will probably help a lot. tyty

what helped you lose weight extremely fast/without eating? I can't throw up anymore, I'm 25 scar tissued my esophagus to hell, ended up obese cause I ate like I used to when I was bulimic (male)

>>15973182
I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, what haircut should I get anons?

>>15973299
Me today without my glasses on so people can tell my face shape. I always wear my glasses, though. I think my hair looks too flat and it winds up laying awkwardly on my left side.

>>15973299
your hair looks like spaghetti broken too short before being thrown into the pot

>>15973273
>ended up obese
gross. why is always one end of the spectrum with you people? just calculate your TDEE and eat at a (large) caloric deficit and you'll lose ~10lbs a month. if you want to do it as fast as possible I think 1200 is the lowest recommended for normal sized people. anything more and you'll lose a lot of hair and be faint all the time, not worth it and you'll just relapse like you have

>>15973273
Eat 300 calories at a time. Don't eat more than 1200 calories a day. Drink water and ready celery in between. Apply nicotine patches.

I normally tell people they can have a cheat day every two weeks but in your case you'd just binge 10,000 calories. No cheat days for you.

>>15973363
It be like that.

should i buzz my hair?
i've started growing it out a year and a half ago and it almost reaches my desired length now but it's hard to deal with especially during workouts it always gets caught up in my weight west and then i have to stop to tie it up again.
i don't have a great hairline but it's not too bad i think. should i take the buzzpill?

Anyone know some dressy sneakers for women that are japanese, have the similar silhouette as picrel but without the retarded colors? I’m not really down for nike and adidas and my budget goes to $250.

>japanese because i’m already buying some other shit from japan and might as well add it to my cart

>>15974266

>>15974273
Thank you anon this brand is perfect for what I’m looking for, cheers

Holy shit, Anon delivers.

where to buy good quality t-shirts?

>be ugly as shit
>do photography to take pictures of much prettier people
>get into streetwear
>want to take pictures of my outfits
>remember that I'm ugly as shit
Is there any way to pull off having a fashion related instagram account while being ugly? I wouldn't be opposed to wearing a ski mask in every photo.

>>15974917
I had a fashion related ig and just cropped my face out/blurred. deleted it cus it was embarrassing to keep up posting with 0 interest/audience. good luck!

Anyone knows boots similar to the camperLab Traktori? They are sold out in most places and where they are stocked they are +$390, which from what I've heard is not worth it. I'm not super concerned about quality since my budget is $160-$200 but i will wear them fairly often

>>15975030
as far as side zips with a vulc rubber sole, there's none. got my pair at the end of last year when they were 60% discounted. camper lab is reissuing them this year too so you can just wait. if that's not an option look into used butter side zips. leather quality would be much better than campers.

How do I coordinate sneaker/footwear colors with the rest of my outfit? If I have an olive hat and a green/blue plaid shirt, do I need some olive colored sneakers to really complete the outfit or can I just get away with some black Chucks or Old Skools?

>>15973273
>>15973395
This is exactly what I've been doing since the start of the year and I've lost around 18 lbs. Counting calories works. It also helps to have some low calorie snacks to fight your food cravings off. Sugar free popsicles are my favorite. You can snack on 4-5 of them a day if you want and they'll barely make a dent on your calories total per day because they're only 20 calories a pop.

>>15975030
I did find pic related for fairly cheap at $200 so these are an option too, just not super convinced on the sole
>>15975042
Good to know that they are reissuing them, I would love to get the olive ones since all of my shoes are black rn. I found the burgundy ones on grailed for $70 but I feel that color is a bit more risky, although for that price....

Anyone have any idea where to get these pleated baggy wool pants for like 50 bucks?
Pic related cost 120 with shipping which is sadly too much for me

>>15975102
try asos, weekday or zara if ur on low budget

>>15975102
have you heard of this new site called ebay?
do you have vintage stores in your town?

>>15975105
thanks, ill check them out

>>15975108
yeah all the vintage stores have been closed for almost a year now due to rona and i just tried browsing etsy and ebay with no good luck

>>15975126
it amazes me how retarded you people can be

>>15975052
For colors in outfits, some general rules that i follow are:
-No more than 2-3 main colors
-No more than two pieces of clothing of the same shade or color, you can have accents to a certain extent (a small accessory or a small stripe matching something else)
-For the rest, complete with black or white accordingly
-Most of all, DONT OVERTHINK IT. If you focus too much on matching, it will not look good or natural. Look at pic related, it's horrible. He focused too much on making the outfit match that he forgot to make anything else about the outfit interesting.
Mind you this is not a set rule that everyone follows, this is just something that I've noticed that works with my style and my wardrobe (mostly black and white with some earth tones or very dark colors)

>>15975138
>50 czech bucks budget
etsy is overpriced.

>>15975148
this is good advice. go on reddit's fashion subs and it's all outfits being matchy matchy to their sneakers, it looks like shit. they think black/red jordans with black jeans and a black/red flannel is the GOAT fit

>>15975162
don't get into clothes if you can't even pay $50 for pants

>>15975030
>$390+
WTF THEYRE RUBBER BOOTS

Where can I get heeled thigh high boots that actually come up really high? Everything I can find barely comes over the knee. I'd like mine to come high enough to leave just a few inches of space between the top of the boot and crotch area.

Specifically I'm looking for black heeled boots with a suede/velvet-like material. I measured my leg from foot sole to where I'd like the boot to come up, which is 24". Not sure if that's an accurate measurement for the shaft height?

>>15975195
Upper is leather but the bad quality one that creases and cracks after some wear. Sole is rubber. So yeah definitely not worth $390. Most places had crazy discounts on them but I missed that wave

>>15975138
these are exactly the ones i went through but the shipping is 20 bucks to czechia and i didnt really liek those that had free shipping or they were too overpriced

>>15975180
>don't get into clothes
i can buy 50 bucks for pants i just dont want to pay 120

>>15975200
>>15975200
Whats your budget? I dont know of any that can reach that high. First one that comes to mind is Rick Owens, although most of what you'll find is probably leather and not suede. Other options to look at could be Bottega Veneta, Ann Demeulemeester, Margiela, Celine or Saint Laurent. Last two would be your best bet on finding a suede thigh high

I’m asian and have had shit facial hair all my life. Should I use Rogaine to grow a beard? I already wear glasses and feel like I’m a full beard away from looking like a Funko Pop collector. Still I sorta want a beard.

>>15973182
good brands for button up rain jackets/windbreakers?

Is there any reason to not dry shave if it doesn't irritate my skin? I almost never cut myself and never had ingrown stubble, been dry shaving for a few months now. My facial hair is still very patchy and not a lot either so maybe that's why. I also have an electric razor but I've always found dry shaving with a cheap multiblade work the best

Anybody know cheaper alternatives to Yohji styled pants? Around the $100 price range should be fine, don't want them to be extremely shitty either

>>15975701
Try vintage or milsurp. If you want to spend some more look at outdoor/hiking brands like Salomon, Arc'teryx, the Japanese ones like And Wander are very good too. Avoid UNIQLO

>>15975758
Cream for shaving is mostly used for lubrication and making hair softer as to be more easy to shave. If it works it works I guess, I would only recommend some kind of moisturizer after that, maybe its just my skin but everytime after shaving my skin gets super dry

>>15976606
assuming you're okay buying secondhand, lad musician and sasquatchfabrix have put out hakama and balloon style pants in the last 5 years. up your budget to 150-200 for worthwhile options. i've also heard good things about rosen, but i have no firsthand experience with the brand.
i highly suggest just saving up for yyph though since you're more than likely to buy a pair down the line.

What kind of sneakers is Jimmy wearing here? Almost look like GATs but not quite, some kind of Adidas?

>>15976728
I'm more than comfortable buying second hand, can't really afford the luxury of buying new. Since I'm only gonna get one pant it might be better to save up like you say. Any other brands like those that sell drapery clothes?

>>15976777
affordable/mid level: sise, yantor
luxury/artisan: jan jan van essche

it's general good practice to buy less but better especially if you already know exactly what you want.
it's a common mistake to buy cheap shit that eventually ends up bloating your wardrobe and you can't get rid of it because they have poor resale value.

Is having moist/glossy lips fa? I love the look on me.

>>15976836
You’d look hotter if you didn’t pout, sir

If i want to do andro half the time, and wear girly bow headbands and skirts the other half of the time, would a wolf cut be my best bet?
My face is already pretty andro I have been told here a few times. so its just the hair now

what shoes yall think look better
these

>>15976846
I love my pout tho!

>>15976877
GAW-JUS. I'm on the prowl RAWR!! Hehehehe

At least the haircut is somewhat coherent. Let me guess: you bought milsurp boots to play My Little Nazi and they don't fit.

>>15976606
>Try vintage or milsurp. If you want to spend some more look at outdoor/hiking brands like Salomon, Arc'teryx, the Japanese ones like And Wander are very good too. Avoid UNIQLO
Hiking brands make those? And people... hike with those? What do you think hiking entails exactly, tripping every three meters?

is there a way to look at retail prices for old designer stuff? some archived page or some shit
trying to see how much i'm getting ripped off

>>15977010
Google the item? I dont know, if its too old you might not have too much luck

>>15976836
fuck off my board nazi

>>15977010
I don't see how this would be of any use. if it's a piece that comes on the market very rarely it at all and there's no other way of acquiring said item at the present moment, it's worth whatever the seller lists it as until someone else puts up a listing at a lower price.
if I'm wrong, please let me know what I'm missing.

>>15973304
bro grow some eyelashes

What are you talking about retard. Learn to read

Do you like my moist lips tho? They taste as good as they look ;o)

hello, hope you're all well

does anyone know about a scalp and shampoo massage device made of natural materials? not very keen on the plastic/silicone stuff that's popular

David Bowie WAS NOT FA!!

He is not a style icon.

What he is, is a fucking RACIST POS.

>>15977899
agreed

Why is fa dead? I used to browse around 2013 and 2014 when I was in college and it was alive then, now threads get one reply a day later

>>15978107
Because back when, the average fa poster was 11 or 12 years old. Now they are 18 and here and have killed the board.

Zoomers have successfully destroyed everything they touch. Mass censorship, removal of free speech. They make up the ranting hate twitter mob. They have promoted sex work like onlyfans.

But yet not at any point are they going to think.. HEY, MAYBE WE ARE THE PROBLEM?

>>15978135
>zoomers are the ones removing free speech and censoring media
Cecil i hate to tell you you’re wrong but the people doing this are “woke” millennials, the only thing zoomers are doing is cheering them on

>>15977899

>>15978138
no u!

>>15978191
Sheeiittt... they have a point

>>15973182

I want to buy a pair of DRKSHDW Ramones... are they just a meme or can they be comfortable after you break them in?

>>15973182
Is it /fa/?

>>15978138
This has always been the delusional politics of nazis. They'll say anything to get you into their death cult. Resist that shit

This is a screenshot from a Korean TV show.
Does anyone know if this brand of glasses is real or fictional? I looked it up, it seems we don't have this brand in my country. So it might be a Korean brand, but "vincent" sounds very European

>>15973363

Anyone able to ID this jacket?

>>15979704
Looks like Barbour though it probably is just a copy. a better pic would help

>>15979713

Is it possible to wear these shoes without looking like a fag

>>15976918
any shoe over these dinner roll looking shoes

>>15979721
no

no

>>15979721
no

>>15979721
nobody cares what you look like (unless you're rich and famous). you can wear whatever you want. this entire board is fucking stupid.

>>15979779
you and me both bud
>>15979721
not a chance

is it too late to buy winter clothes? brit fag here

I'm losing weight rapidly due to fasting.
How many sizes down can I wear my XL shirts and 36" jeans before it becomes retarded and I have to buy new clothes?

>>15973201
I don't know much about sewing itself but my mom collects and repairs sewing machines, and sews most of her own clothes. You're gonna wanna look (in my opinion) for old singer sewing machines, from before they started using plastic gears. I wanna say my mom has gotten a number of machines from the 40s (or sometime around then, I'm not the one collecting) for very cheap, like 25 bucks or less for them (though I will say she repairs them oftentimes before use- however, I think you should be able to get a working one for around that)

So I am just now beginning my fashion journey, so while I have in the past had outfits that have gotten me compliments, I often feel it is more by luck than by skill. I would like to buy some clothes this weekend that compliment my already existent clothes that I've gotten compliments on, or maybe just fit in the same 'genre' of clothing. I don't really know what I'm doing, and while I just read through the sticky, I was wondering if anyone here was able to help me find styles to look at for inspiration (cause I don't know enough to even pick out different styles). Is the most productive way to do that to post pictures of myself here so I can get advice?

what should i pair with these/what pants should i wear for spring & summer? my style is very dependent on cold weather (lots of wool trousers) and i hate shorts. i'm leaning towards darker jeans at the moment but i'm not sure.
>>15980752
never too late for next season
>>15980772
pretty quickly depending on your frame. but don't worry about it too much. get to where you're happy with your body, then worry about what you put on it
>>15980915
it really boils down to what you like and trial and error. posting yourself, even if you know what you're doing, will lead to nothing helpful from /fa/

>>15981096
Is there anywhere you would recommend posting for critique and recommendations? I have a few friends who would be willing to do fit checks for me but I don't wanna constantly ask them to check my clothes out while I'm still really unsure of what I'm doing.

>>15981112
you can very occasionally get actual advice here, but even then it may not be what you want. i'd say reddit but they arguably dress worse than we do. they'll still be your best bet for actual criticism and recommendations.

>>15981139
i should add just for learning the basics and understanding silhouettes and color matching, etc. etc.

>>15981150
>>15981139
Yeah, I am gonna try some shit cause I definitely don't wanna dress outside of my class (poor working class) but I don't wanna dress shitty, nor do I wanna virtue signal my poorness. I guess I'm just looking for solid working class styles.

>>15981160
looking around for workwear inspo online will give you a LOT to work with. the problem is it's very popular for people outside of the actual economic class. thrifting will be huge for you.

>>15981177
Sweet, this is so helpful. Another style I'm interested in is skinhead styles, however due to local circumstances it isn't 100% a good idea for me to dress like a skinhead, are there any similar looks that you would recommend I look into?

>>15981184
look into neofolk as both a style and musical genre

>>15981186
You're killing me, that's so helpful. You've given me a lot to think about and I'm incredibly grateful.

>>15981195
of course friend. i wish you all the best on your journey. always remember to dress for yourself and who you want to be.

>>15977899
Nah fuck you the guy was /fa/ ,he may have been racist, but he definitely was a stylish man

>>15980915
Never post a pic of yourself in /fa unless you wanna get roasted. Bunch of hatred in this website. I recommend looking at artists/designers/brands that you like and taking inspo from them. Since you say you already have a style kinda set up then I suppose it shouldn't be too difficult to look for something that you like

i recently got a silver chain bracelet that looks like this kinda. I have a pretty good deal if i decide to also get a necklace chain the same style.
Is it a fashion faux-pas to have the same bracelet and necklace?? i was thinking it might be lame but on the other hand it's a very simple design and i need a new chain.

>>15973182
What is a decent quality tracksuit and a pair of running shoes that's just a solid color and has no visible branding?

Fat as fat ass here in the process of losing weight. Right now all my tops are XL. I plan on keeping my current tops and going for an oversize look. What fit jeans would go with say an oversize long sleeve flannel shirt? Slim fit? Skinny? Straight?

>>15983165
thats an ok bracelet but itd look shit if you had a matching chain

>>15984850
slim or skinny would be fine, but i also dislike straight-fit. just make sure that the silhouette is good and that you like it. also, uniqlo does really good basic oversized tees, if you want a better look.

>>15975698
There's nothing to lose in using it. Just use the foam not the liquid, the alcohol in the liquid will really dry out your skin.
