/fa/ - Fashion

>>17505902
Also, fashion is expensive, and I have no disposable income, and probably could not hope to have any for the next years of my life
it's all so tiresome, and all the time and energy i've wasted window shopping and constructing an aesthetic ideal i'll never live up to has failed to make me happy or pay off in any meaningful way. it's made me less happy overall.
Unless a sack of money falls off a truck and I'm able to fix all of this with surgery, or some scientific miracle comes along that makes all of it cheaper and easier, I'm doomed to grow old and ugly without ever being young and attractive. By the time i make the money to have the body and wardrobe I want, i'll have already experienced twinkdeath, without having even been a twink first.

Until all of that changes, I'm done with fashion. I'm just going to focus on building a stable, comfortable life where how i dress doesn't matter, where barely anyone even has to see me. I'll excercise, put on some muscle, try meme shit like mewing, and hope and pray that i'm able to squeeze some height and physique out of my last years of youth, and maybe who knows? If any of it works, or if CRISPR gives us a way to unfuck our genetics or something like that, I might just come back. I'm not counting on it though.

Any parting advice you might have for me? how can I build a life like what i described? is there anything i can do to grow towards a better body and lifestyle?
If i ever do come back, what should I have done by then? what would you do in the intervening years? (2/2)

/fa/ is not your blog. Wont read

ok cool. anyone else?

Post some fits of yourself when you write a blogpost like that.

Of course fashion alone won't make you happy. A well dressed fattie looks better than a fattie dressed like shit, but a trained chad dressed like shit looks better than a well dressed fattie.
Dressing well is only one aspect of many when it comes to looksmaxing. Hitting the gym is never a bad idea, but so is caring about your overall appearance which includes fashion.
And fuck the manlet meme. Focus on what you can change instead of what was given to you by the genetic lottery. Being 5'6 is only bad, if you have no confidence in yourself and who you are

>>17506025
>Being 5'6 is only bad, if you have no confidence in yourself and who you are
i suppose in that case i don't have any confidence in myself and who i am. And really, that's it's own problem

>>17506025

>Get auto-noped by dating app preferences

Well that hurts.

Hit the gym, you gona ferl much better and it will improove your look, eat about nutrition. Work on your money problem, find a job, get educated and aquire a skill.

Your height us alright. You basically know what to do. For things to improove you must actually do this, over reflecting wont help.

Funny that I could tell you were Doug in the first paragraph. I went through a period of not caring about fashion, then I started making a little money and made my way back.

>>17506103
Fashion is just clothes, dude. Yeah it’s not that important at the end of the and you can stop fixating on it if you want, who cares. The fact that you were interested in fashion in the first place will still put you leagues ahead of the average young man in America when it comes to dressing yourself. You can’t change the body that you were born into. Everyone else has problems or shortcomings too so no one is feeling sorry for you. You said you had an interest in working out. That’s good. This will actually make your face look better too as the heavy blood pumping will go into your face and give you a healthy glow as they say. Speaking from experience. Even more so if you do some of your exercise outside during the day.

>>17506158
yeah, its me
the question is, when i do start making money,
what the hell do i even make my way back to?
my sense of style earns no respect from the /tip/ crowd and i have nothing in common with those people anyway, even outside of 4chan. neither styleforum or the ethan wong side of the scene really gets what i'm about or sees me as a part of their clique. that style isn't for people like me.

its for people like ethan wong, a blogger who is in his early 30s and spends his days doing twee hipster shit like photography, composing light jazz, going to vintage flea markets and fancy asian-american restraunts with poppy 70s film murals with his huge group of friends who have known eachother for years and probably became so easy to be around because they have all been in that same scene, that same culture, that same sociopolitical context.
meanwhile i'm just some 19 year old internet weirdo who belongs more in pyjama pants and graphic tees than blazers and ocbds.
i live in a shitty flat, i go to a college class i have no investment in, no real friends. my life has 'begun' but just barely.

i'm still young, i'll figure shit out. but the one thing i've figured out so far is that i am not that guy. i am not "doug devious" or fucking whatever. and whatever life i make for myself is not gonna make for the kind of pictures that would be shared on /tip/ or styleforum. Maybe some funhouse mirror version of that style in the contextual lens of like, deep web core or something, and that can trickle back here idk

>>17505902
>but it turns out that the community of people I wanted to feel a part of, to earn the respect of, they all fucking hate me.
That's your mistake anon, you are supposed to realize what YOU like and then work towards being the best thing you think you can be.
So in the end you will like yourself, even if other don't like you, you will have yourself.

>>17506338
not op but what do if I can't see what I should be? who I want to be at the end?

>>17506338
because i can't see when i;m doing something because i think it would look cool vs actually liking it

>>17506213
find ways to look good with what you have. limits with creativity, especially DIY breeds innovation in fashion. cut and sew. thrift where you can

>>17506338
i mean, i kind of did realize what I liked, but working towards that and perfecting it means exposing myself to people who understand the technicalities of that style of clothing. Unfortunately, they don't see the same vision i'm trying to improve towards, they see this ugly bleached-hair weirdo in a shitty, skinny polyester suit and they rip me to shreds for being "an attention seeking clown".
And even if the execution was good, they hate the concept, and don't appreciate it as an expression of the style they want to talk about. They shittalk my bow ties and they especially hate my winklepicker shoes.

So, "well fine, I'll just follow online guides the best I can and I just won't talk about it won't talk about it with those people".
the fucking issue is though, who the hell DO I talk about it with?
There's practically nobody i can find outside of that clique who appreciates the details and nuances of tailoring and the menswear world like I do, and I WANT my outfits and taste to be appreciated on that level, to be viewed through that lens, because I sure as hell do, and I have fucking nobody to share that with! I've dug myself into a niche of a niche, and theres nobody else who gets it! That's the fuck of it!

You are going to have to elaborate for me to understand you.
>>17506417
>i mean, i kind of did realize what I liked,
great, now just strive to achieve that, while taking in feedback from others. Don't try to just follow everything people bark at you, instead see how it makes you feel, your gut feeling, does it say you still like the thing, do you feel they tell you something legit. Remember others are mostly a mirror into yourself.

>And even if the execution was good, they hate the concept, and don't appreciate it as an expression of the style they want to talk about. They shittalk my bow ties and they especially hate my winklepicker shoes.
Yeah well people have different tastes. Whats important is that at the end of the day you, YOU are pleased with the result. That it is done with intent, that each thing was a choice made by you.
I get shit on constantly for my choices, but if I like the end result, I'm pleased, even if others don't agree with me.

>and I have fucking nobody to share that with! I've dug myself into a niche of a niche, and theres nobody else who gets it! That's the fuck of it!
Proud of you, it takes mental fortitude to do that. Most people trade anything for acceptance and fitting in.
You, like any normal person want to be accepted as well, but clearly your desire to express your own tastes, your own will was more important to you.
Hone your autistic taste to perfection and be proud of it.

>>17508213
You do realize this is the attention seeking retard you are talking to, right?

>>17508724
When I wrote my reply I didn't know who I'm talking to. Nor do I really care, my words apply just the same.
Now that I see who its about and his style, what can I say....
His style is certainly more unique or non conforming, but it does look intentional, somewhat classy with a certain sprinkle of wacky and eccentric confident.
I don't mind it at all, as long as he feels this genuinely expresses him and it's not just a fake persona he is putting on.
Frankly its better than a lot of shit fits I'v seen posted.
I don't know why somebody would be mad at this.
Would go to the grocery store to buy food with confidently while talking about daily life.

after all this buildup, its not nearly as bad as i expected it to be. gotta sort the hair out and put on some weight at the gym, but you've got a very unique style that i believe you could pull off with the above mentioned advice. take this and the other (you)s as a sign to not give up. you're 19, you're barely even an adult, you can do this you dumbass.

>>17510262
a ton better without the glasses, sorry to say you seem to like them a lot. i sense a ton of defiance in all your choices but honestly i bet more basic looking sunnies would look good on you

color scheme is a bit twee and there's a ton going on pattern/texture wise. but silhouette isn't hyper different from hedi slimane stuff with slim fit and pointed shoes. note how he doesn't really dick around with colour much, it's all in the silhouette

the colors are gonna be a point of hate for classic suit type people. did you pick turquoise socks because the suit and shoes don't match perfectly and you needed to bridge them? maybe instead of going full complementary colours you could try analogous hues (picrel) and play with value. leave the complimentary plays for just the spots you decidedly want to pull attention towards because opposites next to each other work the same way as black and white - the contrast is super attention grabbing

if you're interested in a more contemporary take you could experiment with deliberately throwing proportions off more drastically

oh and learn to take better pics

>>17510241

This guy isn't me, just some dude reposting my images to take the piss

Not really proud of the pinstripe one, it's a really shitty suit and my hair was too long back then
>>17510736
Yeah I do like the glasses, it's probably just that they don't look that great on me because I don't look good, and they draw attention to my very tall and flat forehead, which isn't a great idea (at least until I get a hair system or something)

I'm not crazy about super slim pants, I think narrow ankles and short hems make my shoes look too big in comparison to my legs
I'd much rather have a wider leg opening and a half break to transition into the shoes better

Also, combining loudish colors and patterns is half the fun I get out of fashion. I'm a little torn between keeping it balanced with solids and making my outfits as much of a zany clusterfuck as possible. I suppose the best path is to have them both be an option but prioritize balancing visual noise and classic fit/proportions. I don't see loud socks as an issue, if your pants aren't too short and break over your shoes

These two fits aren't bad at all, better than most of /fa/. Also your hair is fine, leave it as is. Maybe work on developing your empathy so you can find and keep a friends group IRL.

>>17510736
How would you pull off Purple/Red/Orange?

>>17510804
heaps better both tonally and in patterns. fit seems fine, can't really comment since you seem to have a very specific silhouette in mind. which is good, keep striving and pushing towards your personal goals

i never even thought about your forehead until you mentioned it lol. i just think tiny dark dots on a pale face with light hair are as attention grabbing as a drop of ink on white paper, maybe the same style but in a lighter lens and frame color could give you a similar effect but be less visually intrusive? also yep, if you're insecure about something it's safer to pull attention all the way somewhere else rather than right next it.

going both routes between pattern mayhem and classic things is a solid plan. i suggest you push it to the max both ways because you can always switch and mix, this way you'll limit your choices but it'll spark more creativity. like giving yourself different boxes to work inside. both routes might evolve into dope stuff that you can later combine. just take it at a pace that's allright for you

good luck m8

It seems like you are unable to even read the subject of this thread.
>Im giving up on fashion. Any ADVICE?

>>17511997
>I don't read undertones, I can only take in literal information.
Not a people person are ya?
>b-but he said
yeah, but what did he mean, what did all of his posts really boil down to?
He has goals and dreams. He made steps towards them but things didn't pan out to his ultimate satisfaction. Thus causes a cycle frustration and self reflection. Questioning on what should be done next to resolve this frustration.
Your "advice" mainly boils down to "give up on everything, conform, move on"
Not that you can't say that. I just think it's a rather weak response.
And maybe OP is weak and he should fit in with you. But then again maybe he is not. After all he already made daring steps towards something driven by his own vision, so he might pull it off and this is just an natural big of challenge he has run into, as with everything in life.
But again, I don't know OP, I don't know his character, his mind, his feelings, his soul.
Thus I cannot pass judgement on such matters myself.
I only hope he identifies what he likes himself, outside of other peoples influence, and then refines that into something good.

Last bit. If OP wanted specific advice on his clothes, rather than presenting sad pics, he would post specific fits and ask for general and specific feedback on those fits.
Since he didn't do that, this is more about externally processing his own desires and emotions.

>>17512186
