>>6385564


Awesome shoes which were a size too big, but they were on a rare sale from like £90 to £40. bought them. While it does look good every-time i wear them i dont feel comfortable because i feel like i have clown feet.

a fairsle sweater

BAPE

redwings

every pair of chinos I own

Clarks Desert Boots.

-Leather Vans. Took the tags off and never wore them
-Pants that were too big around my waist. Im a 28 so when i used to buy things in person, i would pretty much always walk around and find nothing good stocked in my size so I would think "oh ill HAVE to get this size and make it work". So annoyingly uncomfortable and embarro.

adidas sambas
i got the ones with the large tongue and i never wear it, looks off with all the outfits i try to pair it with

>should have gotten the more casual tongue like pic related :(

Diesel, G-Star, Jack & Jones

>>6385801
how do sambas fit ?

>>6385581
eko unltd, karl kani and k1x

i used to be such a fuucboi. #smh

well i don't really feel too bad about buying anything. even if it's not great, it's a learning experience

if i had to pick, probably my white vans because i'm not a fan of the silhouette and they wont die, so i can't justify to my poorfag self to buy some new white sneakers

These red wings. What a stupid fucking buy.

>>6385849
damn, they look deformed as fuck.

>>6385849

Yup. That was two years ago but I still regret it badly, RWs are expensive. It was back when I had just gotten a huge interest in clothes but I was too eager to buy things and didn't think things through.

I also regret buying these. Not because I didn't love them when I bought them (about a year and a half ago) but because I just feel too fucking feminine wearing them now. Man, there's a whole lotta stuff in my wardrobe that I shouldn't have bought.

>>6385879
those are not feminine at all imo
also, idk, redwings look better with age
not a fan of the redwing chukkas though

>>6385879
why not just sell them off?

>>6385916
I don't think the boots themselves are the problem, the problem is I think my features are a bit too masculine to pull them off.

>>6385879
those are pree cool i'm a fan of wingtips. i'd buy them off you if they were my size

>>6385936
I've been meaning to for some time...just gotta repair some minor damages first. I'm very lazy.

>>6385951
What size are you? These are 44. Normally I wear 45 but they fit me perfectly.

>>6385961
damn too big, i'm a 43

I just got a shirt from ebay, I wanted a green plaid shirt for cheap. Got it, ugly as a sin, fits badly in the waist and sleeves, terrible collar, inner layer is white (if I roll the sleeves to hide the shortness of them, it makes fucking ugly contrast). Also, smells weird.

Pro-tip: don't buy cheap.

>>6385965
That's a damn shame. Just out of curiosity, if they were your size how much would you pay for them?

I lost $80 store credit for a shitty Members Only Down Jacket in light gray.

>>6385971
I know dat feel.

Last year i bought a polo from ASOS marketplace.

On the pictures it looked nice but when the shirt came i was creased to fuck, had literal stains on it, was old and faded as fuck. I immediately trashed it.

>>6385935
I'm not sure what you mean. Daniel Craig is "manly", right?
Anyway I don't want to argue. You dress how you want, man.

>>6385988
those boots look herby even on him

>>6385988
It's okay dude, I don't think we're arguing, just having a friendly conversation.

I guess I just felt they weren't my thing anymore.

>>6385974

idk depends on how used they are, they retail for around 300 iirc, and i can find them new on ebay for around 200ish, so maybe in the low to mid 100 dollar range again depending on their condition

>>6385989
it must be hard to live with that autism m8 im so sorry

Got bored of /fit/?
Not even that guy.

I bought a Burberry Brit trench too big in a sale. I then gleefully built up a bit for the sole purpose of fitting this trench, only to find myself too big for it.

Also, any Nudie jeans ever. The twill looks terrible.

when I went to go buy a pair of khaki chinos, I saw some black ones were on sale, so I bought them.
Only wore them once.
To sit on the computer because I didn't do my laundry.

the single tanktop i own. i'm way too skinny for anything more than a loose tee shirt what was i thinking.

and

I returned/canceled everything I bought this week. jesus christ what am I doing I don't even.

>that lands end shirt two sizes too big

>>6386797
if you can spend that much it probably isn't a big deal

Levi commuter cargos.
Grabbed them when they were on sale and I wanted a techwear wardrobe.
then summer hit me.

I bought some Supras I hate now. They just look so big and deformed. I'm rather poor, so that sucks, they were 130 EUR.

>all that buyers remorse when dressing Xninja wont be /fa/ anymore
I can't wait.

-H&M shirt that i now wear as a pajama shirt, fabric pilled on the ride home from the store, i swear to god.
-Tight fitting Abercrombie clothing that looked like shit and the fabric also pilled relatively quickly.
-Shitty $5 sunglasses.
-Skirts from Forever 21 that i bought without trying on, there was a dark purple one that ended up being really cute but the other ones were made out of like stretch spandex or something and they looked like shit.

I used to wear the skinniest jeans I could squeeze into and straighten my hair when I was a teenager. Paired with an Element or Volcom tee and a pair of coloured vans I thought I was so cool

>Levi 511's
Since they are relatively expensive in the UK compared to in the US, as well as that, I could have had Naked and Famous for the same price.
> Adidas Gazelle OG
I wanted a black leather low top but instead I bought navy leather low tops thinking it would make now difference since they're dark anyway, but I was wrong, and they literally go with one fit, the pleb uniform.

accidentlly bought fake b/w Air Max 1s
I know nobody will notice but It's really bugging me

>>6385564
>shit have you coped and hated after
everything

>Lee and Dr Denim chinos
>AllSaints desert boots
>Obey jacket
>all my regular jeans (I'm between skinny and ottermode, regular jeans looks terrible on me)
>old watch where the strap is too thin, so it looks like a women watch
>gold Rayban aviators

etc etc.

$thousands on asos/topman/uo that could have been put towards good clothing over the last few years

buying shit 1-2 sizes too large. i used to wear larges and then decided i was medium and then small and i'm actually xs/s depending on the brand

Thrifted a shitty leather jacket for 50 bucks that I convinced myself looked good.

practically everything when I first started to /fa/ and went through that intermediary dadcore phase.

Ultimate basic bitch shoes. What is wrong with you?
>Not playing around with colour coordination in basic bitch
>wearing black tee with black jeans and black sneaks
>stay pleb

>protip
>Don't go to the mall
>Shop at home online
>Make virtual fits in a note-book before buying stuff. Ensure they fill your style aesthetic and colour scheme. Outerwear should always vibe with shoes. Everything else in between can be re-used in layering. These should be copped at the mall on sale/asos
>When you understand how outerwear and shoes vibe together to form an aesthetic, you'll know what to buy and can thus keep an eye out for when those items go on sale on the internet
>Monochrome scheme is easiest to work with
>Always know your measurements fuccboi
>Don't cop something you can't flip off later. No one wnats to buy your shitty target sweater

>Shoes and outerwear are the name of the game son

>>6390816
thanks, screencapped!

>>6385801

dont the large tongue versions have an indicated line where you can scissor it down to size?

>>6390816
>dont go to the mall

i cannot emphasize how important this is.

wasted so much money on shit i dont even like but are on the 'essentials' list like brogues and peacoats

now i only shop online or on tiny ass botiques if i really need to know the fit

>>6390915
I can't visualize clothing on when i see it in person, i'll walk through a store and not see a single thing i could see myself wearing

>>6390924
i usually just visit stores if i know exactly what to buy. going in and browsing everything will probably lead to impluse buying alota shit

i just browse my wardrobe and see what im missing/need to add, then browse online for inspo, then cop em or visit stores..

>You can't look dope every day in gn or whatever
>A basic bitch wardrobe(tee, jeans, hoodie,cdbs, cheap sneakers that aren't vans) or work wardrobe should be the core of your wardrobe. If you are feeling fashionably inclined on these items, play around with colour schemes mainly but I STRONGLY recommend not blowing your money on a basic wardrobe by copping the same shit in different colours. 2-3 tees, one pair of beater jeans, one pair of beater sneaks, one pair of cdbs, one hoodie/jacket(all items fitting well) are all you need. The typical /fa/ style but in basic bitch form just doesn't work because you have no interesting shoes, outwear and aren't playing with stuff like proportions and textures. Hence the only thing you can play around with is colour schemes(ONCE AGAIN don't fall into the trap of trying to outswag your basic wardrobe). You probably have most of these stuff anyway from your pleb days when you used to browse mfa.

>>6391019
why are you even in /fa/?

>>6391032
Because I'd rather have my dope shit(especially shoes) last me 2-3 years instead of wearing out in 6 months. I still look mildy /fa/ in pleb shit anyway with my ottermode body and HY.

>Plus most weekdays, I just want to go to uni and get work done instead of showing off my dope fit to everyone else. I live that for the weekend or night get-togethers. I'm confident enough to not need constant validation from the plebs around me.

>>6385849
I actually bought those recently and I've gotten compliments up the ass on them. The soles are a bit thick though. What was your gripe with them other than the price? I found them on sale for $160 so I was like eh, why not.

You guys are dumb.

>not using clothes you don't wear/dislike in DIY projects

>>6391105
>>6391105
what sites usually have red wings on sale? copped a couple on asos a while back but they stopped shipping to australia for some reason

really looking to cop 875s and IRs for the upcoming colder months

>be basement dwelling me about 6 months ago
>decide to change my life and become /fit/ and /fa/
>buy some basic bitch and start lifting
>lose weight
>best jeans are now baggy and shirts are too big

Goddamit

>>6385801
nigga what? buying sambas was a great decision. maybe its cuz youre dressing #papa_core. sambas look great when you wear black jeans or sweats homebois

>>6391149
I used shoebuy.com. There's lots of coupons out there for them if you google.

>>6390816
That's pretty one dimensional and retarded sounding.

>Ensure they fill your style aesthetic and colour scheme.
Kind of easier said than done because your aesthetic can change at any time.

>>6391173
If your aesthetic changes, you just cop new shoes and new outerwear unless it's like a drastic change to goofninja or some shit. You then sell off your old shoes and outerwear which are hopefully not shit-tier mall stuff that no one wants to buy. How is that retarded?

>>6391217
And if you keep to a monochrome scheme, you easily re-use all your old jeans(unless its something like tech), scoops etc How is this a difficult concept to grasp?

>Plebs makin moi mad

>>6391217
>>6391235
Just way too one sided for me. I don't think it's easy to do for a lot of people.

My opinion. Don't get mad, it's a fashion board.

>>6385784
Leather vans are like "Oh I want nice shoes but I can't commit to NICE shoes so I'll just get vans made out of leather because that's an acceptable middle ground

>>6391105
I like them, the soles will wear down with time. I guess they're just not OPs thing

>>6391155
I feel like if you look like you lift you'll never be able to pull off more adventurous patterns and colors. Even if I wear a polka dot shirt I'd look really weird.
