/fa/ - Fashion

>mfw the footwear section is the two shoes i've been wearing for the past month

already knew i was a fuccboi tho

>>7108726
its like mehh
It would be good for the person who has never cared about what they wore and doesn't have their own distinct taste so it would work as a platform I would think.

nothing to discuss
it's identical to the infographics on the /fa/ sticky

>peacoat in the essentials

pleb as fuck

>>7108746
I know what you mean. I like what they listed just not the stores they listed. but then again I guess it's good for poorfags in college

>>7108726
It should be noted that I've upvoted every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know.
That said.
In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area.
An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it.
I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).
I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me.

>>7108761
I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.
Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.
I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it.
I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code.

>mfw if you put /fa/ at the top no one would be able to tell the difference

I guess it's okay, it points people who are probably only beginning to think about the way that they dress towards some stores that can be pretty helpful. It's definitely dated though, the inclusion of pea-coats and cardigans in 2013 is pretty bad.

>>7108763
why are you posting?

>>7108763
I know its pasta but
soundcloud.com/college/college-feat-electric-youth-a-real-hero

Why is mfa so obsessed with looking like Old Money? I mean, why do these guys want to look like they are the biggest asshole on an ivy league campus?

it's very inoffensive, basic, easy to wear and uninspiring, which is exactly what they want. seeing as the point of mfa is to encourage video-game-playing, meme-tshirt-wearing autists dress like acceptable, approachable human beings, this isn't too bad.

sometimes i wish i didn't care about fashion and still dressed like this. it gets a much more positive reaction from females than all my designer shit does. oh well

>>7108767
was just thinking it looked exactly the same as the /fa/ infographics from when we had a zipped sticky to download. that was like early 2011/ late 2010?

>>7108818
Never dress for other people.

>>7108769
This
>>7108818
And this. While not /fa/, this clothing is a step up from cargos, video game t-shirts and fedoras.

A basic guide for people who want to dress better. I mean yeah peacoats and Clark's are a couple of years past but they are still decent looking.
The rest of it is super basic stuff although some of it might look a little too "tryhardy".

>>7108819
Really tho
Weird

>>7108919
I don't even get why, i mean there's already a pretty decent understanding of what "mfa" is wearing now.
>blackwatch so hype xD
>fishtails
>raws
>uniqlo+cool shoes
>moc toe red wings
>puffer vests
all of that is a bit more up to date

>>7108726
jesus you must look boring as fuck. Literally everyone already wears that kind of shitty clothes.

You will look like a normal person that wears normal nice clothes following your picture, maybe something a 35 year old would wear but nothing fashionable to see here

>>7108819
so mfa is 2 years behind fa?

get over yourselves

>>7108820
yeah, i don't any more

Well at least it's more helpful than anything /fa/ has put out

>>7109062
see
>>7109008

>>7109062
Yeah helpful if you live in an alternate universe where it's 2009

>>7109062
it's helpful if you are incapable of dressing yourself, it's basically just a "HOW TO BUY CLOTHES WITHOUT MY MOM HELPING ME" guide

>>7109064
Will check it.

>>7109065
>>7109067
You're absolutely right, but it's still what some people need. I'd rather they dressed like this than in fedoras and ill-fitting suits.

Isn't this their fall/winter guide every year?

>Belts (shades of brown)
>regardless of shoe colour

>>7108726
This is all very basic, simple stuff. It is perfect for a college student who is used to hoodies and sweats. It is a perfectly neutral, "gray man" wardrobe. It is neither fantastic, nor horrible. It is just right.

The inclusion of the Timex watch is horrible, though. Only trendhopping fuckasses wear that shit.

>>7109106
>tfw no dries

I'm surprised that MFA didn't include any leather jackets. Considering how they are all autistic, you would expect a leather jacket or two in the infographic. Leather jackets look like shit. Never wear a leather jacket.

What's there to discuss? It's everything you should already have, even if you don't give a shit about fashion.

>>7109193
Buenos dias Bandit.

>>7109193
The active mfa population is pretty normal and doesn't suffer from the same levels of autism as the average redditor. It's just more accessible than other fashion forums so plenty of clueless people start there

First time here, if the desert boots are really dated what is a good alternative boot at a reasonable price (poorfag college student), and what about a coat if the pea coat is no good either?

>>7109282
Nothing in the sticky is bad it's just really boring and dated if you have more than a passing interest in clothing

the uniqlo one is shit

>>7109516

I don't know I was just joking. I've never even seen a uniqlo in real life.

What are some other casual boots i should look into. I dont want CDs like every single person

>>7108767
Sccoby?

>>7109499
It's not bad but it's not thick enough for the winter. It makes a good rain jacket.

anybody know where I can find some "extra long" but slim undershirts? I like my undershirts to hang out of my sweaters to create a layering effect, but I don't like the neck to be super wide.

Not surprised, mfa is just generic basic bitch entry level stuff. These guys won't be doing anything interesting, it'll be rather bland actually, but nothing horrible.

Perfect.

yea peacoats have been out since 2 years ago really

>>7108765
theres that word again

>>7109193
hi bandit

>>7111883
i mean i have some of the stuff in the guide, but that doesnt mean i followed the guide exclusively to get the stuff i wanted

i just figured out what i needed and got it

>>7108726
The problem with this guide is its boring as fuck. I mean sure you'll look acceptable but its all grey and beige shit. theres no life. even Monochrome has more life than that.

I mean. you'll look fine. but nothing even remotely exciting or interesting.

>>7112063
like how do i make clothes more exciting?

also how is monochrome more exciting?

>>7109008
tomato is satisfied

>>7109008
banana is satisfied

>NATO straps
and yeah, it's pretty much '10 /fa/

>>7108948
They were recommending the same stuff 2 years ago.

I find it kind of funny that /fa/ always takes potshots at mfa even though the vast majority of people on here dress in gray scale basics and still look like crap.

>>7112063
it is a basics guide
if you want life you should probably learn how to buy pieces that speak for your fucking life.if they recommended shit that wasn't essential they would be dressing you and you'd look like a clown dressed in someone else clothes

>>7109106
post face kek

>>7112224
the real problem is they try to pass of highly stylized clothing that basically speaks for itself as essentials. That's when you have kids that look like they rooted threw the suit rack in a thrift shop to look mature.

>>7108757
>>7111975
Where do you people come up with this shit? It's a wool coat. No one cares.

is cashmere still fashionable

w2c godo cashmere shirt

i'm thinking of getting a black one off uniqlo but they're 100 us dollars

is that just the price of cashmere now adays

also what to wear with black cashmere sweater

>>7112244
the collar
the buttons
the stiff cut
it's more formal looking and stylized than a blazer

There's nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just REALLY bland. Looks like broke college kid chic though, as others have said.

Also does /fa/ not like peacoats anymore? You faggots used to love that shit. Personally I get a lot of wear out of mine, I don't see any problem with them being in a winter guide.

>>7112267
It's a winter coat. A blazer is not a winter coat.

>>7112273
I have a wool car coat and I like it a lot better than my peacoat. Peacoats still can work though, but most of the kids i see in em are out of shape engineering students.

>>7112273
they're essentials for beginners not a personality guide
>>7112224

>>7112288
yeah, okay
it still comes off as extremely formal and it is overly stylized for a coat.

>>7112313
It's not stylized. It was designed for the deck of a battleship. The collar can be flipped up to protect your neck. The buttons are to close everything up to keep wind out. It's stiff because it's made of really thick wool flannel.

>>7108726
but where is the drive jacket

>>7112259
please...someone teach me cashmere how

>>7112351
>It was designed for the deck of a battleship.
>it's not stylized

>all this hate on peacoats

Whatever, man. They are still warm as fuck, and that's why I still wear one. You can't go wrong with a 32oz. woolen barrier.

>>7112399
but you can def go wrong with an ugly 32oz woolen barrier

>>7112408
I'd pick up a woolen peacoat over most puffy, polyester coats. I'd wear a cable-knit turtleneck for extra comfy.

>>7112244
It's a fashion forum. Why would we not think it cares?

>>7112414
>turtleneck
faggot detected go back to lbgt you metrosexual qeuer

>>7112415
Because it's a generic "how to look better than your idiot friends" infographic. A peacoat is completely fine. You give that guy a bomber and he'll look like a security guard. Hell, give 99% of /fa/ a bomber and they'll look like a security guard.

>>7112414
bruh you can get warm ass wool coats that don't make you look like an autistic high school junior who bought a peacoat from abercrombie after 2010 /fa/ told him to

>>7112445

Jesus, is that your perception of a certain piece of clothing? How irrational and stupid. This is the same kind of logic that Bandit (now Bandido) uses when he talks about leather jackets.

>>7112438
>autistic high school junior who bought a peacoat from abercrombie after 2010 /fa/ told him to
p.s. yeah that was me so trust me when i say peacoats are out

>>7112455

i bet it doesnt even keep you warm
go back to kohls you faggot and keep on dressing like your dad

>>7112438

Somehow, I feel that this board is needlessly hostile.

>>7112446
>>7112447
thx the parka is gap but out of stock

>>7112455
"leather jacket" are a wide range of different cuts and styles that only have the material in common
"peacoat" is one style and for the most part they all look pretty much the same

>>7112445
gap uniqlo uniqlo

>>7112495
Okay, fair enough. At least you put in a thoughtful response other than, "lol, MFA fuccboi".

come on, are you even trying?

>>7112492
somehow i feel that ur needlessly gay

>>7112515
i needlessly fucked your mother

>>7112502
if you like peacoats try a top coat like the guy on the left here has
they're similar but top coats are single breasted so they look sleeker, and you distance yourself from the "le classy" teenagers

>>7112524
Get a real topcoat though, not that baggy crap. Unless you've got some epic sprezz you're not going to pull it off.

>>7112524
Top coats are actually formal. They're meant to be worn over a suit. Wearing it over a t-shirt is "le classy".

>>7111975
theres that guy who decides to quote everyone in the thread in one post.

why.

>>7109008
As I looked further down this infographic, I can tell you just got tired and started bullshitting.

there is a distinct lack of boots and leather

>>7112537
yeah you don't have to get an oversized one if you aren't #sprezzatura

>>7112554
nah, looks fine if the lapels aren't down

>>7112555
yeah i h8 that shit

What I've noticed from browsing MFA is that those guys just wear what everyone tells them to wear without regard for how it might fit on their bodies. I've seen lots of fits that just look awful because whoever posted it has no sense of their own body and their proportions. There's also the attitude that simply wearing certain styles will elevate them above everyone else, but again it's not true since the clothes actually have to fit. A big part of looking good is knowing how clothes look on you and adapting your wardrobe to that.

>>7112590
+they're too pc to call people fatfucks

>>7112524
