It's a slow board. Chill

Last year I was wearing whatever I had in my years-old wardrobe (mostly baggy shirts and shoddy jeans) and as a result had zero self confidence in my appearance, with bad posture to match. With the growing prospect of university - and with it the nightmare possibility of interviews - I knew I had to change.

The past year has been fantastic and I now believe for all the self-help confidence guide available, there is nothing like clothes that fit and feel great, and ultimately look great, to boost self-esteem. Thanks to /fa/ guides I went into my interviews feeling confident in my appearance, have updated my wardrobe to exactly what I wanted, and genuinely feel great! Its a fantastic community and whether it was directly or indirectly I just want to thank all those that helped along the way.

Awesome transformation.

>>7937614
pleb tier and i wasn't impressed by any of it really sry

>>7937384
started hanging out here for random advice, branched out to other forums, i was a well known member on styleforum before the format change where i left the forum, same with sufu back then

bought random things at nordstrom in riverside (pack of under shirts, burberry london back when it was still burberry london sweaters and polo rl) then started copping other brands discussed here, bought levis stf as entry level jean for the competition we held here.

then got into designers
i lived in japan for a bit where i wore alot of number (n)ine and uniqlo collabs.....researched brands for years

i remember sitting there looking up brands alexa chung was talking about on "its on with alexa chng" and writting down names, i bought a blumarine sweater becuase paris hilton mentioned the brand, took a look at it and liked the soft hand. reading gq cover to cover a few times a month...back when they were discussing alot of thom browne and alden
starting in about 2011 they started going down market which alienated me.

then bought stupid shit like lanvin suiting in college

i still dress like shit
i have a lot of little regrets

>>7937384
went from being some nerd wiv no friends to one of the coolest kids at art school. feels gr8

>>7939214

I hate your current style but I admire your loss of weight

>>7939214

damn gj on the weight loss bro
fits a bit basic but ur gonna make it

>>7939219
thanks anon. what don't you like? I'm always looking to improve.

>>7939221
thanks man. The first and second fits are super basic and when I was just starting out. The right pic is more what I wear now and where my style and wardrobe is heading.

Used to wear primarily skate brands. eS was my favourite brand. I was also really into Cam'ron too, so I had a Dipset t shirt I wore down until it was all holes

Now wear stuff like EG, Dries, Margiela, and a lot of vintage stuff too

i bought some fred perry clothing and tought it was designer, i then started browsing /fa/ and posted a fit in said attire and got bashed, i then lurked for like a year and my style and fashion related knowledge really developed (thank you based SZ), my wardrobe now consists of some really nice basics and a few designer pieces i really liked and decided to cop, i recently discovered that there is a store that stock rick, margiela and barret,quiteclose to my appertment, went there with my girlfriend a few days ago and had a really nice conversation about rick with the lady that owns the place, she was wearing margiela and lanvin, i even left them my phone noumber so they can call me whn they get some new pieces.. anyway /fa/ has transformed my life completley and i am forever gratefull

this thread makes me feel happy :))))))

>>7939233

>>7937470
coco everyone knows your a bellend scammer leave /fa/ and don't come back

>>7937614
There was a slight improvement but it went back down hill m8, but at least the fits on most of them were all right.
But have that jacket at the end tailer you look like some evil emperor with those pointy shoulder tips.
Also god those shoes, you look way too old for them it's almost cringe worthy.
Your face got p qter tho.

/fa/ in a nutshell

Nice fits Dave

>>7939747
>cop a lot of fucking designer shit u dont even like but wear for /fa/ and then keep posting fits
But if you don't like what you're wearing, then why wear it?
Thats dum

>>7939759
p. sure he was kidding man, although that's probably what half of the new people to /fa/ too.

>>7939755
whoops, I thought that was the one where it just jumped to him doing a thumbs up
oh well you get the point, 9/10 transformation would become effay with etc etc

>>7939759
I see what you're saying but I didn't know what kind of style/clothing I liked until I actually copped + had the garments firsthand and I wore them and checked to see how they would look on my body.

>>7939764
not kidding at all - like I didn't know if I didn't like it until I got the garment and wore it for a fit pic, and decided it wasn't for me. every garment in my "after picture" which was not even a month ago I literally don't own anymore because I sold them

Started with a very basic knowledge of clothes (i.e. skinny jeans look better than baggy dadcore ones, shorts should be fairly short) and style that i pretty much copied from midwest bands that i liked
now i have a bunch of slim denim, a dozen pairs of shoes, a ton of different shirts and outerwear and i dress at least marginally better.
i really like japanese streetstyle and i attempt to dress in a way that isn't immediately noticable but looks at least fairly well dressed to the average person
it kinda bothers me that i do spend a lot of time thinking about clothes and fit and all that and i've purposelly worked towards a fairly subtle style. my friend wears an oversized cardigan, a shirt tucked into his hot topic blue jeans and docs and people think he's dressed so well
oh well, that's life

>>7937517
You must be new here.

>>7939785
I kinda get what you're saying. I bought a couple pieces in the beginning that ended up not suiting me like I had hoped. Still do sometimes, but now it's usually a matter of sizing since I generally have to buy online.

OT, my story isn't really exciting
Was into baggy shit and band shirts through highschool, started getting out of it towards the end. Bought some cheap dadcore shit just to get away from it for a while, but I still had no idea what I was doing. Then like 2 years after I graduated I finally started coming here. Got into gothninja for a little while. Copped some overlong tees, a semi-sheer oversized sweater, some VtB shit that hardly gets worn anymore, other than a dark gray l/s, and a pair of hightops. Stopped being so into goof a little after that, more into minimal greyscale stuff.
Then I bought my Undercover layered jeans and they're all I ever want to wear now. Experiment with other stuff now and then, though.

>>7939827
Actually, it was more than 2 years between me graduating HS and coming here. I have no sense of time. More like 3 or 4 years.

Thread is cringe

>>7939836
Isn't that the point? To share how terrible we were before we started coming here?

>>7939785
that kind of happens to everyone. I copped a bunch of really shitty clothes or clothes that didn't fit my style when I started out. It took me a while to stop copping badly fitted or shitty clothing and make it into my own style.
