Bump

Brokeboi reporting in, my advice is too try and save up whatever money and buy decent pieces to start off.
Get a bunch of cheap basics, enough to be able to have a few outfits. (plain colored tee's and so on.)
Then occasionally buy good/better pieces and wear them with care.

>>7538813
go to ur local primark

>>7538813

Uniqlo, J Crew on sale

Some pieces are legit worth the premium though. Buying cheap shit will only get you so far anon. Save yr money for cool jawnz when you can

>>7539056
here.
I forgot to mention, thrift shopping.
I'm also considering getting a sewing machine and learning the ways of the trade, that way I'll be able to make my own sicc #rare pieces

>>7539056
>>7539087
Thank you, but I have a question. There are some articles where I will have to spend a bit more like >>7539085 said about the jeans; is there any more articles where I should consider do spend some extra dollars?

>>7539099

Shoes definitely.

And anything with leather.

>>7539099

Boots & shoes, outerwear

$500 for a jacket sounds like a lot until you wear it daily in the winter.

>>7539099
dont buy raw jawnz they will rip at the crotch in a few months and youll b sad :((

>>7539099
Jeans, jackets/outerwear, and shoes.

Although I personally don't spend too much on shoes, it's easy to find good looking shit for cheap, as long as you don't want anything extremely specific.

I think jeans are the most important thing to splurge on, you can tell nice jeans from shit ones just by the way the fabric folds and creases.

>>7539110
Well, shoes, where I live, cost a shit ton of money. I've seen 547s go up to 200 bucks. Another thing is that I don't have any kind of card to buy from the internet so that is also a no.

>>7539117
And also good luck trying to find outwear that isn't American Eagle, Aeropostale and more of the kind. Not to say they are way overpriced too.

But it seems that shoes and outwear will be found at thrift shops. May take a time but it'll be worth it.

>>7539126
Great. Good thing I don't like raw jeans.

And another question. What are the most safe shoes to wear? Something that doesn't give that much attention but still looks good and combines with almost everything.

>>7539141
dreamboxes. the brokeboi's geos

>Another thing is that I don't have any kind of card to buy from the internet so that is also a no.
Unless you are under 18, getting a bank account shouldn't be a problem. Just saying.
Personally, I own a pair of black Nike hi-tops that go well with my black skinny jeans and everything else that I buy.
Just find something that suits you and stick with it, only buy clothes that you know works with your current wardrobe. Make cops during sales and buy clothes that will look good even though they age and get broke in.

>>7539141
white sneakers

>>7539200
White sneakers can get stains and misscolored, I would advice black. It's more sustainable.

>>7539141

Does your podunk town not have a sporting goods type store where you could cop marmot/north face/carhartt jackets or something?

Just get one of those ghetto reloadable visas to buy online, or better yet get a bank account you nerd

>>7539198
Alright, maybe one of these days I'll get a bank account.

>>7539198
>>7539219
Alright, I've decided that my next purchase will be some all white hi chucks. I feel like it goes better with my current wardrobe and my "style". Later I'll keep searching for more but I'm feeling that's a good decision for now.

>>7539244
Belive it or not, it doesn't have such store. And the most quality jeans I can get here are 501s. Sucks living here.

>>7538813
thrift stores

Might as well ask here: where in New York can you find smaller size suits for cheap?

I need one soon, all my old ones were crap to start with and are beat up as hell, and every thrift store I've checked hasn't had anything below a 42.

>>7539219
shut up cunt

>>7539382
>did u just get ur white shoes stained?

>>7538813
look at what is in your pic. I see 5$ HM White v neck or crew neck, burgundy cardigan for 15 bucks, skinny dad jeans for 20 bucks and 60 dollar chucks. keep the change ya filthy animal

>>7538813
if you want a male version of that, then go for am appy
it's not cheap by any means, but it's not outrageous designer expensive like most shit on /fa/

>>7541820
Thank you anon thank you very much

>>7541841
Seems like a quite good alternative. I doubt I'll dress /fa/ at any time of my life anyways.

buy second hand
no shame in it and you WILL find ridiculously good stuff
other than that if you're okay with being a basic bitch, just buy some fitting (!) tees and a pair of skinny jeans at H&M and you will be fine
shoes are worth spending more money on tho, save up

what are some cheap shoes that I can buy that match with everything like a t shirt and jeans

>>7542134
converse
vans old skool/sk8 hi's
a ton of new balance models
etc

>>7542112
Thank you for the advice. As for the shoes I think buying converse, vans, nike and the such are really cost-benefit. Leather shoes, though, should be a real investment

>>7542173
pretty much
generic streetwear brands are acceptable both in terms of looks and quality, yeah.. can't really go wrong with the ones you've listed
just don't go for the tacky, busy models.. simple = /fa/

>>7542183
I found some all white converse hi's. The canvas ones, not the painted leather'ish ones. The price was 75 bucks. Not a great deal but it's quite good considering that they're at 70 dollars at zappos. In this store were also one of those tropical print vans. I know the're not very versatile but look dope as fuck. Should it be a good buy once I have the converse I said before?

>>7542208
that really depends on what they look like exactly.. post a pic?
however if you like them, just go ahead - after all fashion is about liking the way you look yourself, fuck everyone who thinks otherwise
at worst you will realise they suck and learn from it

As a brokeboi you can save on the jeans more than anything else

/fa/ will push you to buy $200 jeans but I got by on Denizens from Target (the worst of the worst) and now I wear black skinny jeans from H&M, I'm still saving towards that perfect pair of jeans when I find them.

>>7542263
Don't really remember the color or patterns but it was something similar to this. It basically looked like a tea bottle made into a shoe. Just add a bit more brown and you get a more accurate idea.

>>7539219
white canvas sneakers can easily be cleaned

/fa/ will eat me alive for saying this, but white vans (not sk8 his, just the classic vans) look reasonably good for $45. I have white ones with black detailing that I got for $45 and they go with a lot of outfits. Don't get me wrong, they get dirty sometimes and once some kid dropped a ketchup bottle and got ketchup on them (He was retarded and he apologized) but vans can be easily cleaned. I take a toothbrush and dip it in warm water + laundry detergent and scrub the shoes. You can also paint white out onto them.

I'm gonna buy another pair soon and with this pair I might splatter paint them with acrylic paint.

If you don't want Vans, you can get Bundeswehr GATs also. http://www.ebay.de/itm/ORIG-BW-SPORT-BUNDESWEHR-SPORTSCHUHE-SAMBA-LAUFSCHUHE-SNEAKER-HALLENSCHUHE-WEIs-/390486579142?pt=NATO_Shop&var=&hash=item5aead057c6

>>7542296
eh it IS kind of cool and not too tacky i guess
go ahead if you like it, however in most cases you'd be better off with just the standard black/white combination for now at least

Black slim fit chinos ($20-$40 for Nike NSW or Uniqlo)
Black or charcoal 7" shorts ($20)
1 pair white stan smiths ($50)
1 pair black stan smiths ($50)
2 white button downs ($40)
A few tees in plain white and grey ($10 each)
1 black hooded windbreaker ($30-50)

This combo will give you a few simple, clean monochrome fits for most situations. Can through in some cheap $30 levis from an outlet if you must have jeans.

>>7542295
Actually, I see very often here people complaining that their 300 dollar jeans don't fit well or aren't as they wanted. That's why I don't put much thought on jeans either. I'm just fine with 511s. For 50 bucks each there's nothing to complain about. Maybe later when I get a better job and such will consider buying some quality pieces.

>>7542349
I know they aren't shoes that will go with my entire wardrobe but I find them a good alternatives after using all white chucks. Also, must say I don't really like dressing with black clothing. I don't know I just don't like it.

>>7542354
This seems cool thought I don't really like the adidas. They look like shoes a toddler would wear.

>>7542405
really? they are just cheap and simple, don't stand out much

uniqlo is gr8 for basics in all colors. its basically the Gap that our parents remember. their jackets are very warm and the materials are high quality but its the same price range as Target.

>>7542426
They don't look bad, don't get me wrong, with the right clothes they look good but I often associate these shoes with toddlers. Maybe because I often see toddlers wearing them. Besides, I doubt they'll work on me because I'm quite short, making me look even more like a little kid.

>>7542430
Too bad they don't ship to my shitty third world country.

>>7542460
what kind of shoes are you thinking? sporty stuff doesn't look great with casual fits. some black doc martin shoes might work? But I think plain black or white low top sneakers are more versatile

>>7542426
Eh I have to agree with the OP here, I don't like Stan Smiths either - they are just way too bulky and chunky, just like your standard skateboarding shoe look - which is passe now I think.

>>7542474
I'm thinking canvas. Canvas, canvas, canvas. Besides, wearing leather where I live will literally cook my feet. I don't really like chunky shoes, I don't like dark shoes, I don't like very bright shoes either. Just some safe yet pretty pastel colors.

>>7542509
pastel canvas.. dont know about that man

>>7542592
These colors. Desaturated light colors.

>>7542603
desaturate further

>>7542624
Boots are too dark. But anyways. Imagine anu tumblr gurl fit and convert it to a male equivalent.

>>7542624
buck thats dope
post more of this bro

>>7542634
those boots aren't dark at all. looks like roughly value 60 at the very lowest


>>7542645
Rogan AW13
really nice collection imo
great styling

I can't believe that we could actually have a thread about low budget clothing without loads of retards hopping in yelling at people to "get a job" and the likes.
Thanks guys, great thread. We should discuss low budget fashion more often.

>>7543802
I'm surprised too. Even more because of the style I said in the op extremely collides with the /fa/ ideal. These threads can be extremely helpful and bring to the low budget newcomers different point of views of everything.
God, it even had some awesome inspo the anon above posted.
So, more brokeboi generals you say?

>>7542684
I like that top thing

Get shirts from end in the sale that's on right now. I bought two our legacy shirts there for £45 each last sale. Great quality. On the other hand, i own £30 shirts from uniqlo and the quality is really bad. Your choice brokeboi
