>>6298238
Time to go on a cut, then some chino shorts, basic t(crew, V or henley necks), and no running shoes or high ankle shoes with shorts. Also no socks and sandals

>>6298268
yeh

I am OP, I went grocery shopping because I thought nobody would respond.

>>6298238
is not me, I swear

I will post a picture of what I am currently wearing (though I think this is quite good :) I put some effort into it and I think my gf would agree as well, but unfortunately our relationshit is not going that well so I am barely seeing her )

anyway, here comes the pic

>>6298390
and another one of the shoes

>>6298390
>>6298395
Well, you're taking the first steps on the road to obesity. Fix that, don't wear horizontal stripes, avoid cargos for now and iron your clothes. Get a good haircut.

And goddammit, I keep noticing details on your shirt that I hate. What the hell is it? It's like a thin sweater with a polo collar. Fucking hand warmer. Get rid of it. Burn it. It's too short anyway.

>>6298409
Thank you

>>6298430
What are your shoes? There's not much detail, but they don't look terrible. Your pants fit alright too, but get a new pair. The khaki color is not always attractive.

Also, I don't know about your girlfriend. Sounds like an excuse that could lead to a breakup based on other reasons.

>>6298409
oh and it's a long sleeved shirt, which I bought 6 years ago washed too hot so now it's too short for my arms so I roll up the sleeves to make it look alright.

It has a little hoodie

>>6298390
>>6298395
looks terrbile man, get some pants that look clean maybe some dark blue/black maybe even dark green if you have green eyes/dark hair.

The top way too small, makes you look fat if anything. get something that's plain with a more relaxed silhouette. If I were you i'd suggest switching shoes as well, invest in some shoes that are versitile and are appropriate for your age (most onitsuka tiger, nike, addidas, and other basic sneakers are good for a noob). if you have a lot of money lying around start reading the sticky (tuxbell.com) and start reading up on brands and what to buy and not to buy.

How old are you OP?

>>6298438
Eh, 6 years is a long time for a shirt with questionable construction. It looks warped and saggy.

Check Uniqlo for cheap basics with a good fit. Check the (non)sticky: http://tuxbell.com/fa/majortest/index.php?title=Main_Page

Stick around /fa/ until you hate yourself and start buying clothes you'd never consider in the past.

>>6298438
Dont buy hoodies anymore.
Dont buy cargo pants

get some rick owens

>>6298440
they're just plain black leather shoes.

I got them second-hand from my uncle 4 years ago, when I was going to a tv-premiere with a really hot girl but my aunt thought I looked like shit so I had to borrow his clothes lol. I could keep the shoes I wear them as 'Sunday shoes'.

>>6298454
the shoes aren't bad just don't go with anything you're wearing. desert boots look best with more earthly coloured clothes such as brown, dark green, even blue.

>>6298445
24

>>6298454
They look cheap, and black is difficult to pull off without looking funereal at first.

How much money are you willing to spend on new shirts, pants and shoes?

$600

I also want to buy a pair of nice sperry gold cups, and timberland boots for winter.
thats already ~$400 right there..

get some rick poorfag.

She's shit-testing you, if you start to get fashionable clothes now, she will lose interest in you because she realizes that she can control you and has dominance over you.

In your situation you have to show that you are still the alpha male and don't give a fuck about what she says about your clothes, you should care about what you wear even less than normally.

>>6298469
Boat shoes are overdone and bro-tier. Most Timberlands are not fashionable, but a few are alright and can be found on ebay for well below $100.

Take a look at this: http://www.wolverine.com/US/en/1000Mile

Do any of them appeal to you? What look are you going for anyway?

>>6298480
I think OP's relationship is approaching fucked status, but it's no reason not to improve his look. Don't tell her you're dressing nicer. Just do it and go do your own shit with friends. Leave her out of it, and let her deal with whether or not she wants to stay with you. If she doesn't, make it her loss.

>>6298454

>>6298480
>She's shit-testing you, if you start to get fashionable clothes now, she will lose interest in you because she realizes that she can control you and has dominance over you.

Yes, I think you guys are right.

nevertheless, my fashion sense does really suck and my wardrobe is about 10 years old (I still wear some of the same stuff I did when I was 14)

I have never really paid attention to fashion, and want to improve on that area in my life.

also if my girlfriend breaks up with me, it would suck but I have been through a really bad break up before. I know I can get a new girl pretty easily.

>>6298469
geobaskets. you want to be fashionable, right?

>>6298486
funny thing to mention, I even wear stuff my dad wore over 20 years ago.

I found his old clothes when we were moving and I was like hey this fits me, now I wear it derp.

>>6298481
I like those

>>6298488
these are a bit over the top for me I'm afraid.

>>6298488
why in the fuck are hightops so fashionable? these days they look like lame shit from the 80s ??

>>6298469
dont buy either of those things

>>6298488
w2c in 42?

>>6298494

>>6298505
manlets can't pull them off
ya gotta b tall n skinny

Once you upgrade, OP, ask her how you look then dump her

>>6298492
Ok. If I was in your position, I'd get the following:

511 Levi's ($60-100) or Naked & Famous Weird Guy ($125-150) jeans in dark indigo color
A pair of casual button downs and t-shirts/henleys from Uniqlo (grey, off-white, blues, black for t-shirts)
Simple low v-neck or crewcut sweaters (Uniqlo, Brooks Brothers, bunch of other places listed in the sticky)
Whatever Wolverines look good to you (Red Wings are similar, Wings + Horns or Viberg if you feel like spending more)

That would fill out your $600 budget unless you look on ebay. Shirt seams line up with your shoulders and casual, untucked shirts don't extend past your crotch. Continue buying pants in fits that are close to what you have above with the cargos. Make sure you know your actual shoe size and search whether a specific model runs large or small. Shoes are expensive but will last a long time, so don't hesitate to spend a few hundred. Match belt to shoe color but don't be anal about it. Browse thrift stores for fitting clothes from decent brands, but never settle for anything that doesn't obviously suit you.

Experiment and be open to new things, but don't go wild at first, and be prepared to throw out an entire wardrobe in a years time as you become more aware of your desired look.

I don't know what else I can tell you; I've outlined a bare minimum to be aware of for casual outfits. Others will disagree with me, but most people outside of /fa/ won't argue that a simple pair of fitting pants, shirt and quality shoes will look good. It takes time. Just immerse yourself in /fa/ or another fashion forum. You'll pick shit up like any other hobby.

>>6298481
not op but what does /fa/ think of these timberlands

http://www.amazon.com/Timberland-Mens-Earthkeepers-Rugged-Boot/dp/B004L32PFU

>>6298641
Timberlands are overdesigned with random lines and fake stitching and have poor leather. Not worth the money.

I have a pair of Earthkeeper's Chukka boots like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Timberland-Earthkeepers-Chukka-City-Escape-Boot-Mens-size-7-5-NEW-IN-BOX-/261226437127

They look alright, but the leather is flimsy and untreatable.

>>6298627
OP if you're going to spend more than 100 bucks on jeans get APC's instead, petit standard is their best fit.

>>6298665
>http://www.ebay.com/itm/Timberland-Earthkeepers-Chukka-City-Escape-Boot-Mens-size-7-5-NEW-IN-BOX-/261226437127

i was after something extremely warm and somewhat fashionable and i saw gosling pull it off pretty well

inb4 >you're not ryan gosling fuck off

>>6298672
Hasn't the quality of APC gone down immensely?

>>6298676
I don't know where you got that image, but those items just look like a cheap approximation of what he's wearing. I'm almost certain his boots are redwings.

me the other day. stay away from cargo anything, wear summer colors. also ny shorts were rolled to see how they would look a couple inches above the knee. and
>>6298409 has good advice, not being a fatty is half the battle

>>6298689
http://fashionfinder.asos.com/mens-outfits/ryan-style-305130

would you know what model or a similar version?

>>6298678
I don't know, I've had mine for 4-5 months now and I'm fairly pleased with them.
For all I know they are much better than N&F anyway, and for around the same price.

>>6298693
not the other dude but get these
http://www.amazon.com/Thorogood-814-4200-Moc-Toe-Boot/dp/B002QQ8XRI

great quality boots for a lot cheaper than red wings. use the 20% off amazon shoe thing too

>>6298688

OP don't listen to faggots like this.
You are not fat. Do get in better shape, but you're not awful.
To begin with, do not buy bright colours. Do not buy anything with patterns on them, especially not shorts/pants. If you can avoid wearing shorts, do that.
Buy 5 well fitting t-shirts, it doesn't matter what you pay or where you get them to begin with, as long as they look nice. White, Black, Navy, Grey, and another dark colour you like, maybe maroon or something.
Buy dark, unfaded jeans with a similar fit to your pictured pants. Wear these every day for a while, while you decide what other pants you want. Chinos are okay.
Buy brown leather shoes. Clarks Desert Boot are a cheap option and look okay. The Wolverine 1000 Mile is an excellent choice, but look at the Chippewa Apache for a cheaper alternative.
Buy a sneaker/canvas shoe. White Vans are an okay choice. You can experiment here but stick to Grey, White, Black. No colours.

>>6298676
>>6298689

Those are Red Wing 1907's.

>>6298770
Also, they are very bulky boots. For example IR's look small in comparison (I have own both). If you are skinny/boyish you cannot pull them off without looking like a clown.

>>6298778
are they /fa/ approved though?

>>6298955
yea

>>6298955
>/fa/ approved
really m8? might as well cop some dick ovens

>>6298770
what's the difference between 1907 and 875?

am I really fat? I try to work out regularly though.
pic related is me

>>6299139
/fa/ calls everyone fat
it is le ebic new mee-mee
you are not fat

>>6299139
You are not fat. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

>>6299139
Unfortunately, you are. Unless you are specifically bulking right now you should continue working out and cut. With proper diet you can achieve significant results.

>>6299155
yes, I am bulking!

my cut phase starts in about 3 weeks.

but I am not excessively bulking, I was just dumbfounded that everybody seemed to think I am fat.

>>6299139
lets see the back

>>6299173
So, once your chest and abs are more defined, everything will be good. You are fat once your abs aren't showing (that means abs covered by fat obviously).

>>6299173
Lol this forum is populated by weak kunts who can't bench the bar and think that being 135lbs soaking wet is the ideal.

You look fine op prob ~12-14% body fat with some muscle mass. Keep lifting heavy.

Mfw when I lurked fit for 4years and am 210 @5'10 bulked the fuk up at like 15-18% bf and lift 320/405/430

>>6299114
875 toebox including sole curves upwards. 1907 is more straight. Also the colour, 1907 is sort of distressed.

>>6299199
i think imma purchase 1907's then

ty anon

>>6299201
If he cuts now, his arms will disappear.

>>6299200
Dude. I am around 9% bf, I consider myself fat and I am avoiding everything except veggies, meat and eggs like hell.

>>6299208
yoo r just retarted :DD

>>6299177

>>6299208
Nobody cares about you, you probably have a body of a child

>>6299215
okay now post dick

>>6299203
Many strongly dislike moc toes so if you buy them just to be /fa/ or accepted I suggest something else, like Iron Rangers.

>>6299215
please be in london

>>6299139
>>6299215

If you bulk you should also lift weights.

>>6299217
Why are you so mad m8

nah i'm pretty happy with the looks of 1907, also if i wanted to be accepted by /fa/ i'd dress goof ninja.

any ideas on where to purchase this for the cheapest price, all i've found is this http://www.amazon.com/Red-Wing-Heritage-Classic-1907/dp/B0018DZBVQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1370705575&sr=1-2&keywords=Red+Wing+875%27s..

p.s australian so i can't go to a red wing store

>>6299229
sorry amsterdam

why

>>6299242
1907 is basically US-only model, they are hard to come by outside of the states. Murrican shops will deliver but it will cost you 50-60 bucks on avarage with standard USPS air mail.

I spent loads of time trying to get 1907 in Europe few months back.

>>6299242

>Australian
You can't be Australian wearing the crap you posted earlier in the thread. Everyone dresses better than that, I've seen outfits at target look better, you are so far behind the average 24 year old male in our country. If you lurk here for a while though and read the tuzxbell fa stick you should catch up and surpass pretty quick though

>>6299268
>not op

i just came here when boots were mentioned m8

OP this is very simple. you're going to need to get a good foundation of basics. what are basics? they're very simple:

casual shirts (which in pleb-speak means "long sleeve button-downs")

trim dark blue jeans. these should fit in both length and through the leg. no bagginess, but no excessive tightness either.

a pair of chinos. these are also known as "khakis" although that is a misnomer. khaki is the beige/sand color. chinos come in many colors. i would recommend navy to start. same rules with the jeans apply here

non-embarassing shoes.(notice is said SHOES not sneakers). this means leather bluchers or bucks or yes, boat shoes--btw do not listen to people who say they are "overdone," boat shoes are a classic staple and you should have long-term permanent fashion in mind, not short-term trends (beware the fact that a good many of turdlings on /fa/ don't understand this difference). he boots you have are probably workable, but i would get a pair of shoes in addition.

so now, color. for now, stay away from crazy colors or patterns. consider solids: light blue, navy, grey, black, white. these colors are great because they're perfectly masculine but understated. also, they go well with one another in nearly any combination.

so where do you go? uniqlo is excellent for building a solid foundation of basics. their prices are cheap and although they aren't the best quality they aren't the worst and over time you can replace pieces with higher quality ones. you can order from their website. keep in mind that their sizes run a bit small, so i would size up.

>>6299295
thank you, very solid advice

also thanks to >>6298748 and >>6298627

>>6299295

here are some uniqlo shirt links to get you started

oxford shirts (these are awesome and classic):
http://www.uniqlo.com/us/mens-clothing/mens-tops/mens-casual-shirts?a=section-m-casual-shirts-0514-oxford-ls

chambray (great summer shirt, lighter and softer than oxfords):
http://www.uniqlo.com/us/mens-clothing/mens-tops/mens-casual-shirts?a=section-m-casual-shirts-0514-chambray-ls

general cotton shirts:
http://www.uniqlo.com/us/mens-clothing/mens-tops/mens-casual-shirts?a=section-m-casual-shirts-0514-broadcloth-ls
btw red is also a good color. it goes very well with navy.

if you must experiment with patterns right now, please go for the smallest plaids, ginghams, and checks as possible. avoid anything BIG and FAT like big ol' stripes, big ol' fat plaid checks, etc. they look douchey and will undermine you. all other color guidelines still apply here.

>>6298504

There was a pair on ebay a few days ago. Also don't be a fuccboi and buy fakes.

>>6299317
>leather bluchers/oxfords
>suede bucks

here are some shoe ideas:

http://www.zappos.com/cole-haan-centre-st-oxford-charro

http://www.zappos.com/johnston-murphy-ellington-plain-toe-tan-suede

http://www.zappos.com/florsheim-kearny-taupe-suede

first of all, start with BROWN leather shoes. you can go the cheaper route for now, but once you understand what style of shoe you want, then you can up your cost.
