HELLO /fa/ FRIENDS

I never come here but I need some **decent and useful** fashion advice. I have a new semester beginning next month and while I'm not looking to expansively change my joke of a wardrobe, I do need some ideas of new stuff to wear. My current attire is mostly t-shirts and shorts (mostly because it's hot and humid all the goddamn time where I live.) I don't go out much and I'm rather poor so I've owned a lot of my clothes for years. Just looking to change things up a bit.

I have one pair of fitting straight-legged pants and am looking to at least pick up say, two more pairs. As far as shirts, I'm not sure. I'm considering picking up some basic v-necks as a friend recommended them and gave me some cheap places to find them; however, I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable wearing something like that yet. For shirts, I can wear a Small size just fine. Lost a bunch of weight recently but I have practically no muscle.

So, uh, how would I go about finding out what would look decent on me and some acceptable places to purchase cheap clothes? Probably going to a thrift store sometime to check out what they have.
Picture obviously unrelated.

Buy these sneakers OP.

They're over $1,000 but then that will mean that you can wear whatever attire you like and still be fashionable as fuck.

You can walk to class with a sock covering your cock and these sneakers and everyone will compliment you on how well dressed you are.

I don't understand much about silhouettes and color stuff. I get to not wear a tie-die assortment of clothing but I've never once concerned myself with "fashion".

I am certain that I can walk to class with a sock covering my cock sans the need to purchase $1000 sneakers.

Ok first of all no v-necks, if you want to show off your collarbones get scoop necks, they're a bit more expensive in general due to the lack of people making them but it's worth it. Second of all, straight-legged pants generally look bad, especially if you fit into small type clothing. Get something with a taper. I heard Levi's 511s were good, and if you're looking for something more "fitted", get 510s, which I can personally vouch for. Is there a uniqlo by you? It's a good place to shop for basics. As for finding out what would look good on you, that is something you have to decide for yourself. Poke around the sticky, and check out WAYWT threads every once in a while.

well your question is pretty vague
if you don't know where to start, then buy simple, versatile things from asos, uniqlo etc
and figure out how clothes are supposed to fit. it makes a big difference.

What's with all you /r9k/ faggots coming here? Anyway look at the sticky and lurk to find stuff you like. Straight-leg pants usually look bad unless your /fit/, get slimmer pants, always in a dark wash. V-necks are a no, just stick with crew or scoop necks. Uniqlo is probably the best place for cheap basics, Everlanes tees are okay (I've heard mixed reviews about the U-necks).

Well I found a list of websites to buy clothes and all that but I think I would need personalized help or something for everything else. I'd rather not run out and buy a bunch of shit that turns out to be wasted money, you know? I have no idea what I'm doing here.

>>6466186
n-nied?
I'm not really concerned about showing off my collarbones (is that a thing?) but they are prominent. I was just suggested those by a friend so I had it in mind for a possible clothing alternative. I don't know if I would fit into "small" jeans as I apparently have fucking woman hips or some shit. I'll save those specific brand numbers in a notepad file and take a look later.
I don't know what a uniqlo is. I don't know what would look good on me. I don't have the highest opinion towards my body, mang. I'm getting there though, and I appreciate the advice but I doubt I'll come to this board after today.

>>6466188
Do you have a list of brands for the items in that image?

>>6466197
Fuckin' Gucci, he has the catchiest hooks.

I'm sorry, your description reminded me of a friend. If you fit into small clothing, chances are you fit into small jeans, but if you have disproportionately large hips then definitely get tapered jeans as straight leg jeans that fit you will drape on you in the worst way.

Everything in that image is generic shit you could get anywhere in various levels of quality.

That's okay. I guess I'm "small" but I don't feel small, if that makes sense. Tapered jeans? I'll definitely keep that in mind.

But I don't have the money to waste so I cannot excel in the game.

Well okay. I'm not too interested in the shoes but we'll see.

Stop being a fuccboi, man. Also, if you're losing weight, make sure to do at least SOME exercise so you don't end up skinnyfat

But go down a size though, if you're a small you'll probably need to go XS.

uhm bro we get like eleven of these threads a day. it's like, "hi /fa/ I'm going to ___ next ___ and I want to dress nice so the bitches will be on my dick but I don't know how. when I was twelve my father kicked me in the dick so I enjoy wearing green bracelets. sometimes I like to look at the clouds. I want to buy 18 square meters of fabric worth of clothes."

anyway what you want to do is become a basicfag and then lurk /fa/ for a good amount of time before you invest in anything too specialized. this way the amount you are willing to pay for clothes will increase significantly and you'll be looking for cps on sale in no time.

seriously though, if you want to look nice in the traditional sense I recommend reading the stickies / the sidebar on reddit malefashionadvice. lurk the waywts and see what kind of fits get good feedback.
