/fa/ - Fashion

>>6664617
your size is actually xs

i can't comprehend how XL designer shit sells out

srsly XS and S should be the most-stocked sizes

>>6664637
because the purchasers are spoilt fatties

I just noticed that most of my shirts are all way too long. I feel gross

I live with a guy who is 6'7" and he wears medium shirts. Weighs 165-170.

OP here. Similar for me, though I never went on /sci/ or /ck/. Of course I'd be lying if I said I never went through the /b/ phase, though.
I just like the community here.
>>6664655
My advice for this is to tuck in, on one side (left or right, not front or back) your shirt in just a bit, so that it drapes from one side to the other. Well, depending on what sort of clothes you're wearing.
(Works for many more styles than just goobynanner, imo)

>>6667062
lol

>>6664637
it's always the size left over when sales start, and they probably don't stock as much. So it's probably not really selling out the way you're implying

>>6667095
Are you me? Mediums are too baggy in the torso, yet they're also not long enough.

source on op t shirt anyone?>

>be 6'3 since I was in like middle school
>parents would always dress me in XL

thank god i got my shit together in highschool, i was basically swimming in my clothes

Im 6'0 180 and some mediums are baggy on me, u skinny fat brah?

>I'm much skinnier than I though. I barely fit in a uniqlo xs oxford.
>it doesn't take much to change how people perceive you.

my shoulders are too big for S. i'm not fat or tall enough for M.

>>6669741
Im at the point where xs is too big and xxs is too tight.

>>6669769
uniqlo's clothes run way too big. i usually wear medium and when i got stuff from them everything was tent-mode

>>6664637
Maybe because not everyone wants to be a twig bitch like you, and actually goes to the gym.

I've learnt that you only button up the first one in your jacket.
I used to wear only black, never a suit, a jacket or a shirt, not even shoes!
Damn...

>>6664637
>XS and S

sure if you dont like to breath/having your nuts hugged

>>6669691
My first thread in effay was actually an attempt to find what that shirt was- it's worn by tom in the great gatsby. No luck.

>wearing size xs or s ever.
>not having beautiful drape from large flowing shirts
>not having beautiful silhouette

I can't wait til next year when this post is the exact opposite.

>>6669736
nah dude. I might just switch to small, but those come up too high on me, for the most part

>>6669988
I had that problem so I shot up a school. You should do the same you feel so much better afterwards.

>>6669741
Wow, I'm like your exact measurements. Basically, you need to buy from Topman and Asos. Like I actually have the money to get better quality stuff, but when it comes to shirts I always buy from Topman an Asos because they fit slim and almost always have XS.

I'm not paying for the quality of the fabric, I'm paying for the fit.

I realized that /fa/ is not fashion. The /fa/ hivemind is only there to confine your creativity.

True story bros, but I must give credit to /fit/ and /fa/, mostly for providing useful information and personal experience all this time. I still have a lot of work to do, but even now, when it rains like on that February night, I sit down by the same window and spend hours thinking - of the excuse for life I once lived, the tragedy that could befallen my family have I decided not to react on time; of all that I could become, of all that I could achieve in the future, the complete freedom to grip the life by its reins and set a course for future laurels. I shall not stop, so long as I draw breath.

I really dislike what civilian fashion has become in terms of dimensions.

I have to wear tight as fuck shirts that show off my arms and chest, even if i just want something comfortable, just so i don't look like a colossal tool.

I have the big need to give you a hug, bro.

18 here and just got the rainy February feel weeks ago. These emotions are so big that I don't even know where to start. I'll go to the gym this Monday. I know I will.

>>6672311

bravo, brave anon. bravo, my friend.

Am I missing something? I'm 5'11" and 155 lbs and I've always been buying M and it seems to fit. Should I have been getting S???

>>6672311
I'm going through the same exact thing you're going through. Started last January, down 85 pounds. Still have about 40 to go. Too big to be effay but am working on it.

>>6672764
>tfw 120kg and 6'2

I started caring about how I dressed way before I even entered /fa/

> Realised I only owned a pair of shoes and they're tennis shoes
> Realised I only owned two or three pairs of pants and they're all baggy
> Parents why did you do this to me

I weigh slightly more than half of you an dI'm only an inch shorter.
>tfw 63kg and 6'1"

>>6672764
i'm 6'4, 180lbs and i wear medium

look into it m8

>>6672545
Aww man. I know that feel like you wouldn't even believe.

>>6672864
Medium oxfords or M t-shirts? Or both?

>>6664721
>/fa/ has the slightest fucking clue about fashion
well atleast you said your new

>>6672764
That is literally the worst fucking chart I've ever seen in my life. Girls already have enough problems with 1 pussy. They don't need another 6'4 140lb pussy. How can you actually call yourself a man and weigh less than the woman you're dating? If you're 6'4 you should weigh 180 lbs AT LEAST.

capcha hurcule effect

Idk bruh bruh like I said I'm 5'11" and fluctuate between 150 and 155 and I think that's just about right

XS is for short skinny people

Even womens fashion is like that. XS just means short as fuck hemline and super narrow shoulders.


I learned that hoodies and baggy cargo pants are not flattering like I thought in middle school. I also learned the importance of fabric and construction. If it isn't made well, it doesn't matter what cute detail is has

>>6672521
>discover rick
>discover
you heard about it on /fa/ you fuccboi im tired of you fuckin summerfag idiots comin onto /fa/ thinking you're ultimate fashionistas because you can copy what others like

Biggest thing I've taken away so far from /fa/ is that fit and construction are the most important considerations to make when copping. If the fit isn't right, it'll look like ass no matter who made it. And if a garment feels cheap, it probably is and will fall apart quicker than it should.

Oh, and also: never get fake leather anything.

Before /fa/
>Realize I'm short, but don't pay much attention to it.

After /fa/
>I'm a manlet
>Always conscious about my height
>Measure myself just about everyday.

I'm 166/167 cm. Shit sucks.

>>6674108
I heard about it from A$AP

>>6669765
GOD FUCKN DAMN so good

Well, I'm 5'10" and, here in the UK where I live, clothes I often try on at a M are too small for me and I have to look at the L instead.

When I've ordered clothes in the same (medium) size from the US, however, I've felt I could hitch a mast to them and sail off and over the seven seas, so big and billowy they were.

What do you guys think of these? When would they be appropriate? Should I wear them to Uni?
