Hey /fa/. I've spent the last few years not giving a shit about what i'm wearing, just going for cheap jeans, plain T-shirt and Dc's pretty much all the time. Now I'm about to start university, and actually want to care about how I look. I'm unsure about how to go about acquiring a completely new wardrobe, and finding a style that fits me. Any help would be appreciated. The only thing I have to work on atm is something from /fa/ I came across.

Read the sticky
and I dare say, read the sidebar of MFA

basically absorb as much information as you can for the next few weeks before trying to buy anything

(that's what I'm doing)

>> No.6460506

Don't "reinvent your wardrobe" because you'll inevitably purchase pieces that don't fit/you decide just aren't for you a few months later, and if you purchased a whole bunch at once you'll be fucked. Just lurk around and save pictures of things you like, then buy them and incorporate them into what you already have.

I work at a large clothing store and here's a question that I often ask people who can't pinpoint their style.

If you could describe your style using specific musical artists and/or genres, which would you say best describes you.

Not OP but I enjoy listening Radiohead and Springsteen
I feel I would be better suited to 'dadcore' than attempting to be /fa/ but then I also don't know my 'own style.'

Start with some basics from Uniqlo.

I personally like J.Crew and Brooks Brothers.

Its a good start for a beginner. Let him go all rafsimonsrickowens when he knows what he's doing a little. It's a lot cheaper that way.

Go American Heritage/Dadcore

1 Pair Common Projects Achilles Low
1 Pair Red Wing Iron Ranger
1 Pair Rogue Territory Stanton 14.5 oz Jeans
5 Basic tees
1 Washed Leather Jacket

Build off that really, take time to start developing your style. Most of the shit above is innocuous as fuck and works with everything.

Not OP, but I really like erotic and symbolist literature. What would be a good clothing style for me?

>> No.6463189

lurk before you buy anything too specific or you'll regret it

certain basics go with anything though. basic tees, white low tops etc.

>hard time matching
>a lot of blue shirts

New to this fashion thing, thus I must ask. In general one should match canvas shoe color with shirt color? Leather or related material doesn't seem to follow such a scheme.

I like all of these things and I wear Acne(pants and basics)/A.P.C.(jeans/sweaters graphic tees)/Burberry(coats, jackets, chinos)/J.Crew(just for oxfords honestly). I don't know how I'd classify my style though... I'm light dadcore I guess with some street style tossed in.
