/fa/ - Fashion

>>8359382
Cultural differences I would assume.

>>8359382
because europe is the cradle of fashion, simple as that

>>8359382
You see major differences throughout Europe, though. (being different countries and such)
Is it the same in America?

>>8359382
old money vs new money

>>8359384
It's easier to adopt a single look if it's popular/accepted by peers.

>>8359388
>You see major differences throughout Europe, though
No you don't.

>>8359398
Uh, yes you do. In casual dressing and such you see major differences if you compare Germany to France for example.

>>8359403
>In casual dressing and such you see major differences if you compare Germany to France for example.
You really don't.

American men style

Americans looked at this and thought "fit for a president"

>>8359405
I figured as much from someone browsing /fa/.
Enjoy living under ur rock m8!!!

What 99% of american males wear 99% of the time

>>8359413

He's Obama and he's in a sports event. He doesn't need to give a flying fuck you autistboi.

>>8359413
rick owens bomber
normcore jeans
rafidas

>>8359428
I don't get the flip flops Americans wear everywhere.
In Europe they'd be avoided to begin with, but even if you would wear them it would be exclusively on the beach. They're as much beach wear as a bikini.

>>8359437
Americans like to be seen as casual


Trying to look good here makes people dislike you, because they see you as vain

especially if you're a guy, because vanity is a "feminine" trait.
I'm laughing my ass off at those pictures of the white bitches all dressed the same, it's completely tru and absolutely hilarious.
There are exceptions to this, mind you, especially in the cities, where you can typically find a number of different cliques that dress differently and put in effort.

>>8359560
But that makes no sense. You're also the capitalistic consumerist hell of the Earth. You love brands. You love defining yourself by the things you own or the products you buy.
Why are clothes an exception for you?

>>8359413
Actually the president's team looked at this and thought "fit for throwing the first pitch out at a baseball game".
But I understand your point, there is certainly little to no emphasis placed on clothing in the US (at least where I am from)

>>8359583
Well they aren't entirely.

You just have to understand that the average american is pretty much a child

Middle class americans won't buy expensive clothes


$100 for a sweater is considered absurd

Instead, they buy 3 sweaters that are $20

as for the defining ourselves by it, look at mall apparell, which is what most people dress in.


Branding everywhere. Branding without quality to back it up.
It's like asking why a fat fuck prefers mikky dee's to haute cuisine, if that makes any sense..

>>8359413
they had him dress in pure dadcore to make him seem relatable to middle class people you retard

>>8359619

>It's like asking why a fat fuck prefers mikky dee's to haute cuisine, if that makes any sense..

Fat people usually say they enjoy eating and some even refer to it as a hobby...

>>8359423
Not really, pretty sure the first guy is wearing an Ann D tee, trove shorts and somehow next years Rick Owens flops.

>>8359673
Lol you clearly have not seen american food or the way they react to anything unfamiliar to them

they're like children here, too.

in cities, sometimes we get our shit together. I love NYC when it tries to put in an effort. But come around too far uptown and you'll find some unfashionable fucks a lot of the time

>>8359722
What you mean are the European foreigners and models who are there to tourist/during fashion week.

>>8359754
yeah. but in the summer some people step their game up. In the winter though, it's pretty shit.

Depends where you go though, I suppose. All the fashion I've seen in california cities is mainly runners wear, yoga pants, or Mark Zuckerberg clones.

I don't know why, but californians cannot into shoes. Like... The girls there love clog things and comfort shoes. It's really upsetting.

>>8359437
I wear the absolute fuck out of my flips in australia, almost every day at uni, I don't give a fuck they're comfortable and its hot

i noticed the every average highschooler looks like shit in america

like
>Huge basketball shorts
> stupid grey running shoes
> disgusting baggy tshirts....

fucking disgusting m8 our their yust following the trends 99%

here most of the time people do spend money on jacket & shoes some nice fitting jeans and t's some slim ones.

realy helped getting /fa/ cause you already used to spenidng money on clothes

>>8359779
Have you seen lax bros before?
They either wear those terrible sandles or boat shoes.
With their dirty white socks, high on their calf, pastel khaki shorts, a polo, penni, or fleece, and carry their lacrosse stick around. It's a slight step up... but so painful at the same time.

>>8359394
all of these girls are fat wtf

>>8359398
nigga aint ever been to eastern yurop

>>8359410
fuck i just realized he has a cane

too much cringe to be enjoyable

>>8359843
even worse actually, that looks like a walking stick. As in "pimp staff".

>>8359823
i looked the same, is this what ameriburger girl majority is?

>>8359791
fucking disgusting

horrible prepcore mixmaxed with other terrible elements

not sure how people like that even get laid tbh

+ hard tapered jeans are something new in america & some people are even scared of slim jeans.
to brainwashed man.

you guys do have cool thriftshops

>pic normal amsterdam youth's nothing special 50% bought at the zara

>>8359869
>mfw I used to work at a consignment store on the upper east side in nyc...
i-i can take you shopping...

>>8359413
He did not dress himself. His stylists had him in an outfit that would make him seem relatable to middle America.

>>8359852
Ameriburger kmfao

>>8359873
What consignment store? Was it on 88th and lex?

>>8359879
>make him seem relatable to middle America
I.e. that's what the average american dress like
yes exactly that is my point...

American fashion is actually fucking disgusting. I thought Australia was bad but if you go to a university most people look like they put in some effort and have a decent sense of style. The weird conformism in the States is just creepy, especially amongst the girls

>>8359413
>american coaches vs euro coaches

>>8359852
i think its something in their food our water our shit, i mean how can a average be so fat is beyond me.

>>8359869
Gucci sneakers.

>>8359891
I wasn't disagreeing or trying to start an argument. I was just saying that that is what mist people see as a normal outfit.

>>8359888
btwn 93rd and 92nd and madison. It's one of the second time around chains. When I chat up the people working there, they sometimes give me a better discount...
They have menswear at some of their locations downtown on Mott St.
>mfw I used paycheck to buy designer dresses I have no use for now that I'm in college
>mfw any time I wear something nice on campus people think I must be up to something
>mfw californians think I'm a snobby new yorker
b-but that's because they dress like shit.

>>8359901
Do you ever got up INA?

>>8359901
Also... You know three housing works on 77th?

>>8359386
>>8359384
>>8359382
>>8359394
>>8359401
this shit was irritating to see when i was in highschool, and it's just as annoying to see at work.

>>8359869
Amsterdam's youth, a nigger and a shitskin.

>>8359920
just fuck off

>>8359791
FUCKING VINEYARD VINES FAGGOTS
ITS ALL THE WEAR. EVERYDAY. I'M IN HIGH SCHOOL. ALL OVER THE EAST COAST. EVERYBODY LOOKS LIKE THE PIC RELATED

>>8359932

>>8359920
>i-i'm a black amsterdam

this is bully free zone.

also
>talk shit post fit.

>>8359920
>picks chin acne and grumbles

american women are controlled by what they read in magazines

>>8359947
and see their friends wear, thats why they all have or fuggs our those boots.

no originality at all m8 trendfollowers to the max.

>>8359957
American here
Can confirm, and they get so weirded out by any originality. And I don't mean like autistic wear, I mean by anything.

>you picked a PC over a Mac on purpose?
>why aren't you wearing what we wear?
>why are you different?
>why don't you listen to top 40?
>why don't you stay inside all day on your computer?
>why do you go outside alone?

Not kidding on the last one, this one time, I went for a walk, kid at school saw me. Next day in school he came up to me and said, "Why were you out by yourself, that's so weird".

I hate this place. I want to live in NYC, fast paced and everybody fucks off to their own business.

>>8359969
m8 go vacation europe get a european girlfriend and life here ofc after your done with studying.

know this american dude he yust go to major cities lifes there for a year our 2 and then on the next place pretty good life.

only trouble is getting a job but most of the time he work in resturaunts our clothe stores our bars.

>>8359936
yuuuppp

>>8359913
>>8359905
Yup. And Michaels. And a few other consignment stores. Angel thrift on 11th street is also really awesome. It's across the street from the housing works too.

>>8359979
Don't do that eurobro

Europe is full
fuck off

>>8359936
Fucking disgusting

>>8359969
fucking hell

>>8359969
this is funny cause i thought the 90's in america was like all about being original & creating your own identity...


were did it go wrong

>>8359398
>>8359405
Are you trolling or just stupid?

I've been to france, germany, uk, netherlands, belgium, spain etc.. and they all dress different.

Have you ever been outside your house?

>>8360020
drug psa's
rise in popularity of subcultures
rise in popularity of hate against subcultures and more people trying to be seen as normal


i dunno i might be wrong, i'm just guessin' :)

>>8359992
Would you rather have americans that aspire to be like europeans, or pakis that hate europeans?

>>8360029
Honestly I think it might have to do with how afraid people are of being seen as a "hipster", whatever the fuck that means.

I remember one time I made muffins for some friends, and because I wanted to see how they'd come out, and they just insulted me for being a hipster.

Same when I started dressing the way I do. Apparently blacvk skinny jeans, black vans, and gray and white oxfords are "hipster"

So are flannels

So is anything that's not shitty blue jeans, mesh shorts, and shitty tee-shirts

I just don't fucking know

I want to move to europe

or atleast like portland or some less shitty part of here


please take me, I'm willing to pretty much be a slave

>>8360064
>I want to move to europe
it's the same here. you just need to move to the city.

>>8359936
It's a southern frat thing where everyone tries to look like they come from old money and attend horse races every day.

>>8359560
Talk for yourself.

>>8359583
wow projecting so much here

none of this shit applies to me, and I'm American. It may apply to a shitload of people here on /fa/ and i'd assume upper middle class people, too, from my experiences.

>>8359410
how does one become so supreme?

>>8360113
Theresa a key difference that you're failing to see:

Americans buy shitty stuff because they want to be associated with the brand because they want to be normal, because americans condemn anything that doesn't fit their pleb definition of normal.

/fa/ggots buy actually nice things, that they might not understand, because they want to be edgy and different.

>>8360103
This is so cringeworthy. I'm into preppy/ivy league style, but these fratboys are just posers, they don't have the manners and education (and clothes for that matter) to look like they remotely come from old money. VV is an insult to prep and a scam

>>8360064
Nah not really. Here in Eastern Europe I can wear pretty much anything I want and if the clothes look at least good I get compliments. As a 20 year old guy nobody looked at me weird when I bought myself pink/red skinny pants. People love difference here... remember who won Eurovision?

>>8360128
i went to an actual prep boarding school and the jockheads still wear vineyard vines and sperrys. usually the dudes in jcrew are passable but you cannot escape this shit. even in college.

prep is dead

>>8360145
this is like a joke

>>8360145
But it's real

>>8359423
I know one person of the top of my head who dresses like that.

And he's a she (pre-op trans)

those images are golden, keep em coming

>>8360124
No I dont particularly like raf and that gets jerked so hard over here that I'm sure some people have just bought into it. Just like the leddits mfa dadcore or it used to be 511s cdb and an oxford over here but thats changed I think idk

>>8360154
But I love my Brooks brothers, j crew, patagonia, j press, gant, vineyard vines, ll bean, and sperrys. Im dead serious, but I like throwing some hypebeast shit in there as well, this is mostly an umc thing I think

>>8359401

>Han Solo cosplay convention

>>8359401
They dress just like Brits.
I don't see the difference

>>8360265
It's just a joke here, people call girls that dress like this "basic" and shit


Shitty skinny jeans, high boots from target/walmart/pennies, some random fucking shirt

>>8359423
You'd think that Michael Jackson's son would have enough money to buy decent clothing.

>>8359410
>wearing a hat indoors

This churl is no gentleman.

>>8360225
kek

>>8359894

That's not entirely fair. Model NFL rules say that the coach has to wear clothing from an NFL sponsor. Underarmor doesn't make suits.

In the old days NFL coaches had some style.

>>8360144
I'm from Prague and people here dress like shit. They are tolerant though so nobody will call you on your fit but they'll think you're douchebag.

>>8360324
has to be Nike

>>8360324
alright but still no reason to be fat as fuck as a coach.

Most of the Americans talking about how well dressed Europeans are have never actually been to Europe.

>>8360357

Americans think Europe is nothing but handsome athletic people wearing designer clothing. Europeans think America is nothing but fat people wearing jorts, sports jerseys, and guns.

>>8360324

>tfw coaches will never dress like Tom Landry again

>>8360333
I'm from Estonia and I got to say that here in Tartu things are not that bad. Young people dress quite good.

>>8360344
I remember a few years ago this coach made a big deal about it. He had to get permission from the NFL to wear a suit. At the time, it was Reebok that made the attire for the players and coaches. They provided him with a suit that he was allowed to wear for 2 games that season.

>>8360333
tolerant my ass...people are even surprised when I wear nice shirt to a bar and says: "anon you dress so nice, you must be gay!"

>>8360380
That's just sad.

>>8360376
I've been to Talin and people were dressed OK. MOstly.

>>8360385
Never happened to me. Maybe they all think I'm gay but they just don't say it to my face.

>>8359437
man, his daughter is tall as fuck.

and yeah flip flops are awful. just the fucking sound they make is reason enough to avoid them

jesus christ, look at the difference

>>8360398
Do Estonians still love double blue denim everything?

>>8360385
I know what you feel m8. I have been told that several times too.

>>8360398
Don't really know about Tallinn. I rarely go there, but I have the impression that they dress a little bit worse than in here, Tartu.

>>8360411
Not really. Haven't seen it for a long time.

you know i see a lot of complaints about how american women dress like garbage but american men generally dress like garbage as well. it gets annoying to see the same cargo pants and lobster red shorts be recycled over and over again with black tee's and brown or adidas flip flops.

>>8360407
Is it me or Obama's pants fit him badly? He looks like a man who has lost a quite a bit of weight.

>>8360357
grass is always greener m8 let us dream

>>8359382
Flame wars belong on /b/.

>>8360417
The thing is people in Estonia are trying to show that they are not slavic/eastern and they look for examples in western Europe. In Czech Republic we like to think that we're doing just fine and we're not trying to improve.

>>8360150

These guys were a real thing in the UK a couple of years ago, they were everywhere, though it seems to have pretty much died out in the last twelve months. Suspiciously the death of the trend coincided with Republic going bust. I think they ran out of all-in-one places to get Jack and Jones beige chinos, SoulCal quilted navy jackets, and Crafted scoop neck tees.

The only people wearing this stuff now are people who only buy new clothes every few years.

>>8360417
tbh I don't think Estonians in Tallinn dress any worse than in Tartu.
Ise ka muidugi Tartlane, lihtsalt olen viimasel ajal liiga palju Tallinna sattund

>>8360435
We still try to fit into Scandinavia. You can't imagine how excited people were when H&M came here last year. This video is a great example of our obsession with H&M: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9DerhdTOR8
You can't understand shit I believe but the video should be enough.

>>8360446
Depends. The high per cent of russian people in Tallinn is noticeable in clothing too.

>>8360265

British girls dress in two ways at the moment.

> green parka
> white top
> black leggings or indigo skinnies
> pastel converse or brown ankle boots
> dyed blonde straight shoulder length hair

OR

> cheap black fake leather jacket with gold zips
> black vest top
> shiny black leggings
> black studded heels/black pixie boots
> handbag with a big gold plastic chain
> fake tan and dyed black messy hair

>>8360456
Yeah I know, that's why I said the average Estonian in Tallinn, since for some reason Russians dress like shit.

>>8360468
they are slavic

>>8359894
American portions are a lot bigger than European portions I'm pretty sure plus junk food is cheaper than healthy food. Just saying

>>8360462
bottom one describes most middle class black girls in philly lol

Cultural differences.

You know how in the U.S you might get called gay for being a skinny guy who dresses well?

Well, on the other side of the ocean, that's not right at all. In fact, it's the complete opposite. Over there, the homoerotic guys are the big muscly guys. They epitomize homosexuality over there. The skinny guys are usually the norm or they're seen as what women want.

>>8359969
Similar experiences here, but I live in Ohio so it's a lot worse. Fuck them, just do you lol.

>>8359382
>Why is there such a difference in the way Europeans and Americans dress?

Why are you comparing a continent to a country?

>>8360519

Not OP, but because the US is fucking huge?

>>8360519
the US is easily comparable to a continen, considering its vastness, amount of people and cultural diversity

>>8360532
Then wouldn't it make more sense to compare regional fashion? "American fashion" is too broad of a term.

>>8360532
>Cultural diversity

LOL you know shit

maybe there are a few pockets of real culture left in some of the big cities

the rest really is just as bad as 4chan makes it out to be

Fucking fat fucks, jesus and wlmart at every turn

Mass media and consumerism killed our already shitty culture

I mean were were always a frontier state full of crazy hicks,

and when there wasn't anything left to kill or steal, we sat down and started shoving burgers into our maw

Remember: AMERICA WAS FOUNDED BY THE FAILURES, CRAZIE, CRIMINALS, AND SIMILAR DEGENERATES OF EUROPE

Theres a reason it's such a shithole.

>>8360624
On a scale of 1-10 exactly how retarded are you trying to be?

A-are you girl named Lily?

>>8360145
I went to the club at Mohegan sun with my friends after losing a bunch of money at the casino and literally LITERALLY 85 percent of guys were wearing a pale blue or blue and white patterned shirt. it absolutely terrified me.

>>8359969
i hate the fact that this is the case in Finland, the land of mongols

>>8360667
Copenhagen is cultural/well dressed/hip city even for Europe standarts

>>8360703
www.hel-looks.com/ says otherwise

>>8360462
stop calling tank tops a fucking vest, it's beyond wrong.

Either call it a tank or call it sleeveless, but don't fucking call it a vest, a vest is a vest.

>>8359437
same with the rest of America, not even brazilians do that shit

US confirmed for the shithole of the fashion world

>>8359673
>Fat people usually say they enjoy eating and some even refer to it as a hobby..
cracks me up everytime

>>8359969
>tfw central Mexico is getting shitretarded like that

fuck, at least Mexico City is different from the rest, there no one gives a flying fuck about anything but they still eye you

>>8360435
I disagree. Have you ever been to websites like muzivcesku.cz or modnipeklo.cz?

>>8360057
what about mexicans?

>>8359894
I think it's because most coaches used to play football which requires an enormous amount of calories every day. Then when they stop playing they continue to eat the same amount they're used to and the weight just packs on. It's pretty common for ex players as well

>>8360380
>murrkans promoting fuccboines and disgusting culture

MURRKA FHUCK YHEAH

>>8360407
god damn it, even the buttles dresses better than Obama and Michelle looks like the regular Mexican mom trying to look nice for a shitty "pueblo" party

depends on the country tbh. I used to live in a country where Nike and Adidas are considered as high end fashion.

>>8360647
he´s right you know

just see whats left of "culture" in Murrka

>the south is full of Tex-Mex mexican wannabes
>the east coast is full of nigger wannabes
>the west coast is full of chicanos and mexican wannabes
>the north is full of canadian and euro wannabes
>theres nothing in the center but Jeheova witnesses and inbred retards, murrkans at its finest

>I know one person of the top of my head who dresses like that.
holy shit. does "she" go to UT Austin?

>>8359770
I live in northern CA and dear god it's shit fits everywhere. I wore a rick tee in dark dust, black drkshdw jawns, and black mayflys and people were staring like crazy. Dunno if good or bad staring but Idgaf bc I was stuntin on everyone so hard and it was the most basic effay fit. It's sad really, these people would shit themselves if they knew I spent over ~$200 on the entire fit...

I think the issue is Americans are ignorant of the fashion world, and also everyone is terrified of being labeled as gay. For some reason, if a man dresses well (the exception being suits) everyone things you're a fag. At this point I don't care, because I like how I look and at least annoying homophobic people are less likely to talk to you.

Americans are obsessed with buying and consuming, but ONLY if it's cheap. That's probably why they don't buy expensive clothes, because they could get the "same" stuff at target for cheap (the clothing is not even remotely the same).

>>8359394

>>8359791
That's every guy from the Washington DC area, and every guy in the south except remove the lax stick, and add visors, costa del mars with croakies, and vineyard vines / southern tide.

My friends used to make fun of me because I wore v-neck tees back in the day...

I mean it was un effay and pleb yeah but that's not why they talked shit, they would say I looked gay

>>8360952
technically, but near one of the most populated cities in the world, so maybe not

>>8360837
That and american football is a sport where being bulky is an advantage, naturally people predisposed to bearmode are going to be found more often in it.

>>8360914
>That's every guy from the Washington DC area
I hate DC

>>8360903
But actually... I can't stand the fashion there. I go to school in the bay area and I want to rip my hair out sometimes. The girls idea of fashion is mainly cat print dresses and clogs with colorful tights. Or the stupid shorts with a beanie crap.

I enjoy my rag & bone boots with celine coat and opening ceremony sweaters. They think I'm trying hard. They just don't know quality is better than quantity, I think.

But the good thing about NorCal not understanding fashion is that they price the items on consignment on brands they don't know really low. I bought NWT See By Chloe pants for $35.

>>8360903
>I wore a rick tee in dark dust, black drkshdw jawns, and black mayflys and people were staring like crazy.
probably because thats not a very good fit and add to insult you most likely aren't hot enough to look decent in an all revealing rick tank

>>8360667

Why can't America be effay? Why??

>>8360064

this

One of my friends told me I should date her well dressed friend because "you're both hipsters!". 90% of the time when I see this girl I'm just wearing a Qlo Oxford and jeans or something, and her friend just dresses kind of preppy. I don't even know wtf a hipster is.

>>8359410
he's messing around while taking an exam
it's not a serious outfit

>>8360978
Can you give me some recommendations on effay shops and consignment stores in the Bay Area?

>>8360998
I said a Rick tee not a tank. And it was a pretty decent and honestly kinda boring fit.
I wouldn't say I'm model teir but I'm at least decent, def not an ugly fuck like you. Stay mad baldboi.

>>8360687
I'm 156 otter and I'm in the same boat man

>>8361003

As a nitpicker, I feel more comfortable in America. The older people are blissfully ignorant and the young people are too ridiculous to care about. Being a blond 6/10 in some "OMG MONOCHROME" fit is not enough for me to think you're actually fashionable. And acne has always been lackluster as fuck..So the difference between scandi and usa is scandi people try and fall short, 90% of them still shopping at places like H&M and zara while usa just doesn't care. In scandi when a girl tries to talk to me about fashion she'll blither on about alexander wang and acne, in usa I don't even have to worry about somebody engaging me.

Also one of the weird similarities between scandi and usa...the girls love fucking orange skin, bleached hair, and overplucked eyebrows.

Consignmen/thriftingt: requires being in the mood to dig through crap

>Crossroads. The one in Berkeley is actually pretty good sometimes. You have a bunch of international students who want to get rid of their clothes. Crossroads in Rockridge was nice too! I have been to a few in SF, people clean those ones out fast though. There are a bunch of vintage stores in the piedmont area too, I didn't really check them out though since I am trying to not buy more clothes...

I liked the Out of the Closet thrift store... it's sort of close to the union sq bart? It's near... I looked it up it's 100 Church St.

Shopping in general... I honestly don't really go to retail. But the area near Union Sq is getting a little better.
There are some fun places near Temescal in Oakland. I can take you if you want. mb...
It's really a lot of hunting, searching and digging for nice things.

Yeah a lot of Danes wear H&M and Zara but they def do at least look better. I'd say Acne tees and their jeans are good quality, most everything else is not worth the price point. But I've seen quite a few Danes wearing really nice designer gear, like Rick, DD, ann D. But the issue with Denmark is the price of everything is so high, that fashionable stuff which already have a high price point gets even more expensive. However, you can find a lot of stuff at the Norse store that isn't insanely overpriced which is cool.

Scandinavians are also just so much more attractive.

I haven't noticed Danish women gravitating towards orange skinned bleached hair, but I was only there for a few months. Also maybe the bleached hair isn't as noticeable because so many people are already blonde.

And I'm quite surprised on the lack of engaging from Americans, I felt like Danes would never speak to you in public. It was a big no no there. People in America always talk to me for no reason, it's nice sometimes but it can get quite annoying .

One thing I disliked about a Denmark though was the lack of quality service everywhere. I only felt welcome in stores like Nag People bc the clerks there were cool and effay.

Módní peklo je ubohá snaha zavést "módní policii". Problém je, že ta ženská má tak uboze průměrnej vkus, že jí vážně nemůžu brát vážně. Ta stránka je dobrá pro maminy a holky z venkova, aby tak nějak drželi krok s dobou. Nic víc, nic míň.
Muži v Česku je chvályhodná snaha ukázat nějakej standard pro chlapíky ve vytahaným polu a o čísla větších jeanech. Nic proti ničemu, pokud by se takhle lidi v ČR oblíkali bylo by to zlepšení o 100%, jenom si nejsem jistej kolik chlapů to tady čte. Řekl bych že mizivá menšina, která už stejnak nějaký povědomí o módě má, takže to vychází narázdno.

>>8360064
People have mistaken being /fa/ with being a hipster.
i think the main difference is etiquette.
Being fashionable requires knowledge of colors, tones, and matching. While hipsters try to look good with any knowledge and just to try and "separate" themselves from looking like everyone else.

Wow, Copenhagen/Denmark sounds pretty good, socially, environmentally, economically... I assume politically it must be fairly progressive? Though I'm surprised that, according to wikipedia, it's quite Lutheran (which, I was raised as a Lutheran, and it's my preferred denomination, though I'm an atheist now).

How hard would it be to emigrate there from the US? I'm 21, have experience working on cars, and would like to move in to high performance automotive work, but am open to computer stuff or maybe engineering related to cars.

Sorry if this probably isn't the best board/thread to ask.

Actually, I'd say the opposite. By that, I mean old money prep/ivy style. Started with Thom Bronwe, then came Rugby Ralph Lauren, J.Press York St., Gant Rugger and Brooks Bros. Red Fleece. These are trying to stay in the true old money 60s prep/ivy style. Shit like Vineyard Vines caters to fratcore.

>>8361215
It's a great country, and Copenhagen is an awesome city. But it does have it's problems. A lot of people use bikes there, and many of the cars are older so I'm not sure how the automotive industry is. Cars are expensive as fuck there so most people use bikes or the transportation system since it's so good. You'd probably be able to get a good job working on the newer taxis (all BMW and Mercedes and shit), or even the buses / trains.

I'm not sure about the immigration system, I think it is really strict because there are so many Arabs coming in illegally. They also don't want a lot of non Danes buying up houses and land. You could probably get a work visa or something to see how you like it.

It is progressive, but there is this idea that everyone has to be the same in terms of income and the social class . People there are opposed to bragging and trying to look wealthier than everyone else. Also, there is a general dislike for immigrants from the Middle East. Most do quite like Americans, except not the American govt (as usual).

Expect to pay a lot of money for everything. Goods are expensive as hell and taxes are extremely high, but the healthcare system is pretty good and free. Not as good as the American health care but obviously wayyyyyy cheaper.

To keep my spending down I always cooked for myself, got a bike (luckily for free from a family member) and a kontokort (if I remember correctly, it was a transit card so I could use the buses/metros). You gotta make sure you have a ticket when riding the train or metro because there's usually ticket checkers and they'll charge you out the ass. Honestly as fucked up as it sounds it's really easy to steal bikes there... I wouldn't condone it but if you're really hurting for cash it's a last ditch option.

I remember this being the standard look for the "emo" girls back when I lived there as an exchange student in 2010. Another awful style at the time was the dipped hair, big (fake)fur jacket and tights with Uggs.

Estonian here also.
People tend to care but not really know what to do.
Some retards will call you a hipster if you for example pinroll your pants or have an HY, or just look good. Most of the time they're not trying to insult you, they just don't know a lot about fashion.
Also most of the youth shops frequently at H&M and NewYorker while adults "step up" to mall brands they like for whatever reason.

American healthcare is alright, from my limited experiences. I just got out of the hospital 3 weeks ago. Bluh, $3k in bills, after insurance, and I think I have fairly decent coverage?

But I would be glad to pay tons in taxes, as long as it went to the welfare of the people (which it seems like it does)

I'll have to see if I can visit, and see what work options there are... Better learn some new languages, too! Thanks, Anon

But really, don't think you can compare Europe too America like that.

>ITT: Foreigners trying to understand another culture purely through stereotypes
This is honestly just disappointing. From what I've heard about Europe from my friends, you guys are just a bunch a pompous, racist, self-entitled faggots, but I take it with a grain of salt because I'm not retarded enough to believe those kind of stereotypes. Not all Americans are the same, the way people dress and act is just as different from one area to the next as from one country to another.

american politicians typically wear oversized, baggy suits anytime they're being photographed. it's a thing they do to look less like the monied elite and more like your average bumblefuck middle class dad who had to pull out his dusty suit to dress up. it gets so ridiculous sometimes that even the american media makes fun of them for it; i remember back in the last election paul ryan wore a suit that was like six fucking sizes too big for him and all of the newspapers without a conservative bent had something about it

I live downtown in a mid-sized southern city and a lot of the former scene kids/hipsters/general tumblr demographic around two years ago started to dress in the green parka/oversized top/black leggings/doc uniform. But even then, the actually numbers of them paled in comparison to the sorority/southern clones. I would walk around downtown or campus and for every girl you saw tumblrcore, you would see a good 30 or 40 other girls in norts/vineyard vines/lily/ralph lauren type garbage.

Now those same people are now in the "all black" trend but the issue is that they haven't adopted the higher quality pieces like many users of /fa/. They just goto forever21/urbanoutfitters/target, buy the cheapest black things they can find and throw some jordans/timbs or whip their old docs on. It's appealing to me to see more people, especially in the conservative south, adopt this style but I don't think it will have holding power over this area, as these people tend to be the trend-hoppers rather than the ones who've adopted the uniform. See two years ago when they dressed tumblrcore, and previous to that their hipster UO flannel or scene kid looks.

Also I've found that outside of these more creative or psuedocreative subcultures, minorities (blacks/hispanics/asians) are the one's in the south who accept and implement trends.

I've always envied those who live in more diverse areas of the country.

I remember my friend telling me about that new coach of our hometown hockey team. He said that the old one didn't really care about a tem (which is true), he was always coming all fancy dressed on a match day and was all about money, not the "enthusiast" of the game. The NEW guy was always wearing "normal" clothes, drinking beer and cheering for our team during match, the true fan with passion for hockey, not some businessman.

Religion is not very big in Denmark. Very few actively practice it and those that do are mostly elderly or part of a pretty strict religious group like Jehovah's Witnesses. Some go to church on special occasions like Christmas eve, but it's mostly out of tradition. Among our generation it's almost non-existent. People do however pay a small church tax (around 1%) to be allowed to be buried in a cemetery, but you can choose not to though.

I'm not a hundred percent sure about immigration, but I think unless you have at least a pretty decent education, it's gonna be tough. People are generally pretty highly educated here. To get a danish citizenship however you are expected to take a test with a whole bunch of random bullshit questions which most Danes can't even pass. It's pretty ridiculous actually but given that Denmark is becoming more and more Americanized and that most Danes are pretty shy and love confident Americans, it might not be so tough for you.

>>8361307
We have pretty inconsistent public transport, at least the trains are. And it's true, you really have to learn to cook for yourself here, because people do not eat out regularly.

>>8361075
Well you haven't seen the suburbs or the club scene then. There's a whole lot of retarded people there. Actually Danes are usually very mindful of others and their private space, so you it's really rare to be talked to in public unless there's a motive behind it. Actually just looking strangers in the eyes or touching them on public transport can make most uncomfortable and flustered. However if you start up a conversation or ask someone for directions, people are extremely helpful. It's expected everyone takes care of themselves, so clerks or shopkeepers generally wont speak to you unless you ask for help or look completely lost. I have never experienced clerks being outright rude, but most people here just like shopping in peace.
