Fashion is a mode of expression that goes beyond functionality or even what is good or bad. It is the invention of a new game with it's own rules and language that matter to people who are playing the game. The attraction isn't beauty or aesthetics although individual pieces may be beautiful, the point of fashion like so many other specialized games is novelty.

Being fashionable means you are playing the game and "winning."

>> No.6307278

>>6307207
Agreed. Especially on that part about winning. It has always been in my mind that to be fashionable one must have a wardrobe which subscribes to various designers who are relevant, favored, and generally in a good light. The outfits composed from this hypothetical wardrobe should naturally be cohesive and balanced, demonstrating knowledge/awareness on the before mentioned designers in a tasteful manner.

A good example would be bai, who always sports new pieces and in great outfits.

Of course you can forfeit from this game altogether.

You can't describe something like that in anything but the vaguest of terms. It's like asking at what point does an image become as pornographic. How can you prove it? IRL of course, we can say something is porn when its intent is to titillate. But how can you prove that intent in court? You can't, the pornographer can always just say he makes art films. The court's answer to this is the concept of 'prurient interest'. It boils down to the notion that the average person will know true obscenity when they see it (and I realize this is a really glib reduction but bear with me). That's it. How do you prove something is X? Because you'll know it when you see it. Everyone knows what X looks like.

I think this example is significant, because even in something as deeply codified & structured as the US legal system, there is at some point a moment to which the entire court bows to simple public common sense in the hopes of arresting a concept that is too slippery to box in with statutes and bylaws.

The notion of defining "Good Fashion" once and for all is a similar concept, tilting at windmills but ultimately bowing to mob rule. The big difference is that in our communities, things like standards and laws are flexible and can change drastically from one audience to the next. There are so many subcultures and looks these days that you can't really quantify things on a universal level. At some point you have to bow to your gut instincts instead of drawing hard & fast lines. Dope fits are like porn - you'll know 'em when you see 'em.

>How would you describe "good" fashion? What does it truly mean to be fashionable?

In my experience, I strive to look acceptable and non-offensive.

What do I mean by "acceptable and non-offensive"?

It means that I, at least, will make an effort to not look sloppy, disheveled, and goofy. I take care of my hygiene. I practice some basic grooming. And, of course, I observe the basics of clothing. The basics are the middle ground, right between "slob" and "well dressed". You've probably seen the basics threads. They mostly consist of raw denim, OBDCs, chinos, and casual shoes. Amidst the meme-spouting this is what some call "boring", even "pleb".

That doesn't matter, anyone in a basic outfit will look better than someone in an relaxed sweatpants + hoodie combo. Now, how does all this answer your question?

"Fashionable" is purely subjective. Fashion changes with the times. There is no universal fashion that will apply to people for all time. However, one can always strive to look "acceptable and non-offensive". This is what separates the /fa/ regulars from the rest of the sloppily dressed college students.

I think we know color coordination and items pairing, as well as a sense of what is appropriate for our surroundings. Now, if you want to be "fashionable" you must know the basics. If you try to be fashionable without having the basics under your belt, you will fail miserably and you will end up in /fa/'s MFA threads.

fashion is like wine. to the average chump, a wine is just a wine no matter how good it actually is. they cannot tell the difference in quality between a very fine vintage bordeaux and whatever comes out of the box of franzia.

fashion is very similar. you really have to know it in order to appreciate it. its the subtle notes, hues, and drapes, and fabrics that make an outfit fashionable and it takes an experienced person to know these things

Yes but imo that ties more into "style"
it ties more into forfeiting from the game of fashion altogether

virtually every designer adds there own twist or signature to otherwise "neutral" garments
thats why cp's are popular, it's nice to have a break from higher end sneaks that usually have very distinctive styles (ccp drips, ro dunks)

to be fashionable one should have to be able to mix pieces from many different designers (each with its own signature style) and make cohesive fits
you would also have to always be bringing in new pieces into there wardrobe, to ensure that they are never behind, that they become "boring" and that they are always in the loop

that is my view of the matter. i usually reserve my taste for signature style in my shoes anyway, everything else is pretty unoffensive and basic for me

problem with that analogy is that in blind taste tests with the most respected sommeliers, again and again, the $15 bottle is indistinguishable from the $150 bottle. sure, if youre talking about the absolute low end, franzia et al. youre gonna be able to tell. but the wine culture in the form of a final end product is absolute hype. no one can tell the difference of supposed "quality" blindly.

which actually does serve a good analogy. many lay people freak out about a $100 t-shirt. and most fashion-conscience people wouldnt be able to tell the difference from a jcrew and a joe mccoy blindly. but the idea is that there is craftmanship, history, and some abstract notion of quality present in one and not the other. same with wine, i guess.

tl;dr - both the wine culture and fashion culture is mostly bullshit, but are able to convince themselves otherwise through ideas of heritage and craftmanship

the taste tests you are referencing were conducted with laymen; also, the goal was not to demonstrate that people's perception of wine was skewed by the label or price tag, but that the price tag skews perceptions of the product; it was part of a wider study on price.

both superb wine and superb design are easily demonstrable if you possess the vocabulary to "get" it. blind taste test shenanigans only work on the uninitiated.

not conducted with laymen. and not one study. again, and again, it is shown that the difference between a 100 dollar or a 15 dollar wine is indistinguishable. you can argue that the price is justified through its craftsmanship, heritage, artistry, marketing, etc. but the actual final product (the drinking of the wine) does not justify it.

To be fashionable means in my opinion to be able to wear clothing in a way that always makes you look presentable and comfortable with your surroundings. You make people think, "Wow, this person looks good." Your style makes them look nicely upon you. You most likely fit in with your surroundings or the crowd. Your clothes just work; they fit a certain pattern or design that is appreciated in the mind.

Good fashion is not wearing a leather jacket. Leather jackets are anti-fashion. Seriously. Leather jackets are autistic. They just look awful. Leather jackets are pretty much costume wear. You might as well wear a clown outfit, because no one is going to take you seriously when you wear a leather jacket. You probably think you look like Marlon Brando, but the truth is that you don't. You actually look like a nerd that is trying to look badass when wearing a leather jacket.
My advice: Leather jackets. Dont wear 'em. Why shouldn't you wear them? They look like shit. All. The. Time. Get real. Stop trying to look cool, because you are not cool and you are not a badass. Wear something else that looks good and doesn't make you look stupid.
The truth is, leather jackets never look good. You should never wear a leather jacket. They are pretty much the fedora-level jackets. Let me tell you one thing. You will look autistic when you wear a leather jacket. Again, never wear a leather jacket. They look like shit.

Most of my wine tasting has been on wines between $6-15 a bottle but the difference is certainly noticeable. The cheap $6 wines tend not to have as much bouquet, the flavor is a less complex and the finish is usually rougher. Once you reach a certain point you can find the qualities that are desirable in wine. However with more expensive wines you can find specific characteristics you might not find in lower end wines. It's not necessarily objectively better but you can certainly say, "This wine fits the profile of what I want better then this other one."

The tastings were not blind although I'm not sure it is necessary. At this price point the flavor profiles are not very subtle and if you can taste the difference between cola, root beer, and fruit punch you can pick out the differences between wines, although not necessarily identify them.

The thing to remember is that with wine the flavor palette doesn't come from simply adding different flavor additives (there are some exceptions). The flavor comes from the grapes themselves and are released during fermentation. It depends heavily on the varietal of grape, the environment it is grown in and even the specific crop of grapes. One vintage might turn out particularly good but disease might wipe out half the crop so relatively few bottles are made. This alone may drive up the price for that particular vintage, quality combined with scarcity.

B. proven your narcissism by ignorantly refusing to acknowledge the fact that your arguments have been disarmed (and i should remind you that YOU started that off topic argument in the first place)

so you walk in here, contribute your profanity, and when you have the opportunity to relfect upon yourself, your ego refuses to let you look at yourself in a bad light (see >>6308159)

/fa/'s collective definition of "fashionable" is to be white tall thin attractive and wear tastefully bland, extravagantly expensive clothes


I'm having a hard time describing my personal definition of fashionable, but it's definitely something someone begins to acquire once they start thinking consciously about the visual rhetoric of the garments they clothe themselves in. Someone who takes personal pleasure in the everyday theatre of getting dressed.

To me, the most exceptionally fashionable people are those who have learned the rules carefully and diligently, and then broken them.

thats the whole fucking point of tastings. it has definitely been shown that the presentation and price of a bottle influence a tasters perception. and i do like all of that craftsmanship to wine, just like clothes, but i really am skeptical it is present in the final product (not the same with clothes)

If you want to measure them objectively, you can have a chemical analysis done. The chemical compounds that give different foods their characteristic taste are present in the wines that have those flavors attributed to them. It is very easy to trick our brain but that doesn't mean there is no objective basis for differences between wines.

well no one is talking about the chemical composition of varying wines, we are talking about the difference in tasting experience from one to the next - which is a product of the brain, which is subjective. in a blind taste test, the point that has been made is that the human brain is unable to differentiate between a high and medium quality wine, despite any objective differences that may or may not exist.

I'll agree that past a certain point the differences in the quality of a wine become subtle to the point that even the temperate of the room it is served in becomes a larger factor then the wine itself. However you are making a rather broad assertion with the unspoken implication that high quality wines are a farse and a waste of money. Visual perception tricks can radically affect our judgement but does that mean the physical reality is irrelevant? Of course not. Grape juice with alcohol added to it does not taste the same as wine even if you add a fancy bottle, other gradations are less definite but if you're looking for a clear cut line to say, "Wines beyond this price point don't matter" you won't find one, because your own tipping point is subjective.

yes, of course. it is a fine line and is very subjective. and grape juice with vodka will be called as such by most all palates.
but people speak to there being a discernible difference between a 20 dollar and a 200 dollar wine, and i really dont think thats true in the least.
now, this began as an analogy of quality of clothes, and is a fairly poor example. its good in that branding, craftsmanship, and heritage are both very important, but i think that i could easily tell the difference of a loomwheeled sweatshirt versus a target sweatshirt. they do both serve their function though.
