/fa/ - Fashion

Post a picture and I would be happy to give you some suggestions! Also post back

Long knee socks, stockings, thigh highs, thank you.

there was a HUGE thread on this yesterday.

>>6808970
Oh Damn I missed it.
What was the verdict?

Honestly for "would date" material it would be baggy sweater+skinny jeans+flat shoes

I'm just basing it on the girls that I'm intimidated to talk to. I work at a cafe and we get 99% sluts all day in yoga pants, low cut tops, etc and I can spit game at them no problem, but I get nervous around non-bubbly qt girls.

>>6808986
There are people who were for and against everything.

It's not what I prefer to see on a girl so much as it is what I prefer NOT to see on a girl. The list includes Uggs, sweats with lettering on the ass, fast fashion, graphic tees, common or cloying perfume, Crocs, Pandora bracelets, shitty or predictable tattoos (Fairy on the ankle? Really?) and garments that blouse or puff out like a garbage bag between the upper arm and the hips instead of following the curve of the body to some degree. It looks like you're wearing a bag or flying squirrel wings and the first thing i think is "That woman must have a midsection that needs hiding." Because really, who wants to go traipsing around with that kind of a silhouette when they possess a great body, or are secure with what they do have?
Which is not to say I don't love oversized tees and weird drapey dresses on girls, I do - it's just this one type of dress that gets really overused by insecure or overweight women, I'm not sure what it's even called.
The most important thing is that they have some sort of style or direction and at least aspire to better. How they go about that is secondary. Interest & passion are key.

poet can you tell me which flyknits you bought? i can't find the white ones on the nike website

Did you come from an anime thread or are you being condescending because of the anime association? Please enlighten

You sound fat

>>6808921
Don't ask /fa/ about this. Find your own style which isn't some trendhopper bullshit by looking at inspo pics and finding out what's inportant to you.

So you don't know what style is?

Are you poor?

What's the quality of your skin like? How greasy is your hair?

>>6809049
Flyknit Trainer in black with a white toebox.
Bought it a while back though, is it still in circulation, even? Stopped following Nike's releases as much, started going after weird ass ACG stuff from the oughts lately. No demand for it and so many of them are cheap, easily found shoe-ins for spacey fits.

Don't just stand there... Eat it

>>6809077
thanks

You can attain a beautiful presence. You can turn heads when you walk into a room. Just learn how to carry yourself, learn how to dress, and learn how to maintain yourself as the goddess woman you are. Your body is a temple. Thin will get you a husband.

daily reminder that michele wears uggs

>>6809122
that u twerk?

>>6809127
it might be

80s stuff. And in consistent way, not just a weird shirt and glasses thrown in a contemporary outfit.

>>6809127
lol i thought the same thing until i noticed the typing style wasn't his

>>6809122
Does she? It was Crocs she was talking about in that interview.

>>6809122
These are not hard and fast rules by any means, bb - it's just that most women aren't michelle in terms of confidence.
SA at the Rick store told me she always ignores maitre d's - waltzes right past them and throws her Revillon over whatever table she wants.
As for the dresses, the ones I'm talking about are more extreme in terms of just how much they hide... Jeez, I've just seen them used a lot by the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

>>6809145
that jacket came up on ebay and i was broke
it went really cheap too :(

>>6809034
>I'm not sure what it's even called.
The industry term for those is called a 'boob curtain'
RIP my boner
I think it's less about hiding their bodies and more to do with sincere obliviousness and trend-following.

twerk i sent u an ask on ur tumblr pls respond

girl to girl here:
-before you start investing in clothing, make sure you're at near enough your ideal weight/body shape, at least within the same size range
-know your body type and bone structure (and know that it will not change, no matter your weight wide hips are wide hips, broad shoulders will always broad as examples-dress to these)
-don't overexpose (as in, tastefully revealing-the difference between a simple sheer blouse with no bra and slim trou vs. a low cut tank and yoga pants is vast)
-know what you like or at least what you find visually interesting
-be confident and do not be afraid, dressing with thought and care gives you the excuse to not care about the opinions of others that don't do the same with themselves.

my questions are these, op, as someone who was at that same level of indecisiveness a little while ago;
what is your body type? what is your height and face shape, and what are your natural proportions and ratios?
more subjective: what do you like? what are your favourite colours and silhouettes? if you had to pick one pair of shoes to wear for the next month right now, what would they be?

personally i've taken on a uniform akin to picture related for the sake of practicality reasons-black shorts or skirt, often jersey cycling shorts, a black looser top (often times a flexible t-dress) that can be dressed up or down depending on the situation, and either boots or a pair of pragmatic-minded sandals depending on the weather. i'm still working on it, though. everyone is a work in progress.

i love seeing girls in clothing that suits their personality, fits well and is flattering-especially colourwise. i love seeing people pull of bright colours that make sense with who they are. pieces are a freeforall so long as they fall in the previous categories.

>>6809034
empire waist, or dolman?

>>6809193
>sincere obliviousness and trend-following.
That's even worse, man.

>>6809200
go read beat lit

>>6809203
post ur feet

>>6809207
haha maybe
I honestly don't care if a girl is into style but I'm not really looking for long term partners so maybe that makes my priorities different
When it comes down to it, I rarely see a girl that dresses better than me. If I gave a shit I'd be trapping myself in an eternal dry spell.

however, if it's clear she's trying to hide her body with loose clothing, that's a mental problem independent of creative interests and preferences. Something I really would avoid.

>>6809228

you don't want that, anon

You're thinking empire waists. (Google suggests "empire waist plus size," hah.) Honestly, I don't really have any special objection to them.

The stuff that turns me off is pretty much anything that hints at a deeper conformity - not even blandness or "obliviousness and trend-following," but stuff that seems like they're trying to conform their life to someone else's script. Bougie stuff, wish-I-was-not-just-technically-WASP stuff. Stuff that makes it look like their sole thought in dressing was not to have someone complain at the office*. Heels not wielded as weapons.

>SA at the Rick store told me she always ignores maitre d's - waltzes right past them and throws her Revillon over whatever table she wants.

I wonder how she gets away with that? Like, not just "confidence," but I would expect someone doing that would get rerouted by the more experienced and secure maitre d's, or at least a manager who saw it. Certainly at a busy time.

Not that I don't think it's awesome.

In other "holy shit Michele Lamy" trivia, apparently she spent a period of her life as a protege of fucking Deleuze. DELEUZE.

*And yeah, I know this is really tough for women, and it's one of the most odious things about the corporate world to me. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to get slut/prude shamed. I just wonder what makes them choose a path that put them in a position that restricts them in that way. Same goes for men in the industries (finance, white shoe law, etc.) where they get the same kind of pressure.

>>6809266
she's too wealthy for people to second guess her.
ps she and rick used 2 chill w/ drag queens and transsexuals
she still keeps an entourage of pet gays

>>6809203
Dolman is a sleeve type and not something else, isn't it?

Good advice to OP, I think, too.

And I forgot to add: OP, lurk here, style.com, Tumblr, street style blogs, everything else cultural, figure out what you actually like and wear that. Don't let other people dress you, I guess, is my message. Certainly not the whims of thirsty 4chan fuccbois.

Exactly like this:

http://totokaelo.com/store/designers/ann-demeulemeester

http://totokaelo.com/store/designers/maison-martin-margiela

http://totokaelo.com/store/designers/jil-sander

http://totokaelo.com/store/designers/rick-owens

http://totokaelo.com/store/designers/yohji-yamamoto

Also pretty much everything on that site in general. I have come to the conclusion that Jill Wenger is the strongest buyer on the planet. Until I came across that store two weeks ago I was convinced the best of the best was John Skelton, formerly of Oki-Ni and now of LN-CC. This interview pretty much seals it:

http://www.sz-mag.com/news/2013/08/a-few-words-with-john-skelton-of-ln-cc/

But also just a quick browse over at LN-CC is a very convincing argument. However while Skelton is the undefeated champion of constantly surprising everyone and forging an empire out of buying the most difficult pieces to sell, Wenger has pretty much created a tiny universe of the most wearable and beautiful designer clothes on the planet. Not to mention Skelton has always fallen hard on styling (although sometimes the utter ridiculousness plays to his favour) while Wenger understands more so than anyone else how important the styling is to selling the clothes. The other thing that is huge for me is LN-CC is still based exclusively around designer goods whereas Totokaelo has had the acumen to bring in lower priced lines that still work aesthetically with the flagship designer brands. In fact it's almost genius that no one else has done this so perfectly and I'm almost completely convinced that Totokaelo is two steps ahead of the retail game and 3-5 years from now everyone will be following their model.

People already mix high with low, why not have it all under one roof? The idea of being able to find a matching pair of $60 jeans to go with your $1200 Rick jacket in the same store is genius. People are already going to go out and do it anyway and some even hire personal shoppers with half the taste of Jill to do it for them. Why not have the buyer of the store with impeccable taste bring in lower priced brands as well that they feel work strongly with their designer stock? Because it harms the prestige of the store? The end result doesn't seem anything like that.

Anyway I'm rambling, go check out that store OP, it's now the de-facto site I'm going to link to womenswear discussions. I'm not a chick but I've had to design womenswear recently and that store helped me a ton for just getting to click through 100's of pictures of impeccably styled outfits, it's the single best source of womenswear inspiration I've come across.

Also for anyone who cares they have a mens store now too, this was their first season and I'm convinced in a couple of years they're going to start being mentioned in the same breath as SSENSE, Tres Bien, Mr. Porter, and LN-CC. Here's an interview with the buyer to confirm that, she handles everything including the store design, look at that shit:

>>6809282
>used to

They don't still?

And I get she's wealthy, but how is a Maitre 'D going to know how wealthy? And the people whose table she grabbed are probably wealthy, too, and the staff at anywhere she's going is probably used to dealing with wealthy people, only deals with at least fairly wealthy people. I don't imagine she's strutting into too many cheap fast casual places.

>>6809294
>you will never grab in-n-out with rick and michele

>>6809297
Who says I won't?

>>6809286
it is a sleeve type but the flying squirrel description threw me off, hahaha.
personally i love empire waists done right (see: any and all bbc adaptations of jane austen novels for immediate reference, the regency era in general) but i totally understand the phenom you're talking about. they have a following as being used for maternity clothing and somehow that trickled into myrtle beach heavy jerseymom wear, it's sad

>>6808921
adding onto that, op, a GREAT reference for me when i started really examining what i wore was people watching and streetstyle blogs/books. seeing things outside of the short frame of photoshoots and runways really puts a garment in perspective
just do you but make sure you're doing the best 'you' possible. self improvement is only shaving away dust on a diamond, you've everything you need at hand, it's just a matter of hashing it out through your own explorations, imo.

>>6809033
Sounds like every other thread.
Nothing new.

>>6809203
Not op but curious.

Body type is hourglass.

Height is 5'8.

I'm not too sure of my face shape anon, it's round but semi long, I have chubby cheeks and my jaw is somewhat prominent, whatever shape it is I dislike it and think I'm unattractive.

Natural proportions 36' 27' 38'.
Ratio WHR 0.71, WC 0.75, CHR 0.95.

I like feminine clothings and dark clothing. I like to dress in florals, pastels, 1950s dresses, peterpan collars or bow collars. I like wearing different shades of black, long a line skirts in dark colours, vintage Cure shirts, black velvets. I mainly wear dresses or skirts and cardigans, I own a few pairs of pants. I like and wear some corporate looking clothes/office/buisness wear. I love velvet, lace, fitted dresses and clothes that are both dark & feminine.

I also wear a gothic lolita and classic lolita but I am more looking at advice for my normal clothes.

Black, white, maroon, navy, lavender, red, purple.

Sheath, A line.

Either my black velvet doc martens or flats.

Kinda like this minus the weed. I like girls with hippie/native american influences along with girls doing extreme sports (surfing/snowboarding etc.) since they tend to have a laid back style. Will dump some

>>6810538
I know it's far from fa but I love it

>>6810538
>those eyebrows

>>6810558
heavily over done.

>>6808921
>Hey guys, I've been browsing /fa/ for a while and was wondering about what kind of clothing styles do you prefer on girls?
if you've been browsing for a while and STILL haven't learned that you should never ask the thirsty idiots on this board what women should wear, then you should just leave

>>6808965
I like those too.

cool shirts

This

short dresses, all about them short dresses

>>6810940
also those dresses that accentuate your titties and make them look all cuddly

>>6809291
>People already mix high with low, why not have it all under one roof?
any place like this for men?

Armchair knows a bitch, she's a midnight waryah

>>6810985

It would have been a nice fit if it wasn't for that edgy haircut glasses and hat

kinda like when they rock kinda boyish shitt, their personality also tends to be cool as fuck
for from then most fa though

>>6811005

>>6811010
