constructive criticism here: you need to start with the sticky and lurk tons to simply get your wardrobe down to basics. get new basics that dont cost to much right now while you are still losing weight. there is no need to spend tons of money on nice clothing when it will be oversized in several months. so get some regular black skinny jeans and black and white tshirts for the next couple weeks! it will look good anyway! and good job so far and good luck

Lady, you rock

>>8565851
If all your info is correct then that is not you.
If that girl is 5'6" then she weights only about 140

When it comes to fashion, I find the best way to get a sense of style going is in these steps:
- Look at outfits and identify what you like the most
- Examine them and see exactly why you like these items
- Buy

Obviously dressing for your body type is a thing, but I wouldn't worry too much about it - just be realistic. It's important to have fun because fashion is a way of expressing yourself which is corny but true.

Thanks, you guys are surprisingly awesome. May your fits always be effay.

>>8565940
you go gurl

>>8565736
I like this a lot, but not something to wear when it's currently 30°C.

I guess that's one of the downfalls of techwear, it's very layer-oriented. Image saved anyways!

Hey seriously, congratulations on losing so much weight so far, you're doing a great job. The fact that you're being so on top of it and so diligent and modest about it already puts you leagues above a lot of the other fat people that come on this board asking for advice on how to dress well while being fat, showing no will of ever losing their weight, and then get all pissy and defensive when we tell them that they need to lose weight if they want to look /fa/.
Good luck, and godspeed. Give yourself a pat on the back.

This makes up for that $200 Arc'teryx jacket that I shrank out of...

>>8566127
u want arc'teryx veilance

>>8565730
congrats on the weight loss! :^)

do you know your measurements? it looks like your bust is somewhat in line with your hips, and that the narrowest point of your waist is beneath your bust.

if you want to dress more feminine, the easiest way to do that is emphasize your waist, and wear feminine clothing (dresses and skirts). since you're still trying to lose weight, you're better off not investing in expensive pieces (pic related from uniqlo).

>>8566133
>Spring 2014 collection is men's only

At least, that's the only collection I see on their website.

>>8566151
forgot pic
whoops

First off you could probably fit in men's sizes maybe just size down or get the altered by a tailor. Acronym has women's line but it's obviously pricey. I would say Aether Apparel cool techwear for much cheaper and they a women's line.

>>8566153
All veilance collections are men's only. The first image posted in this thread is a men's veilance jacket but as you can see she can rock it too

My advice would be to go to a mall-tier store (uniqlo, zara, shit that is in your country) and literally spend like 1-2 hours there trying stuff.

hm. is this the time of the day when /fa/ is nice for once?

>>8566448

OP was polite, genuine, gave us information about herself and what she is looking for before asking an honest question - without using asinine sentences that are the bane of /fa/: ("I lost weight how do I be effay" / "How do I into techwear")

>>8566474
Plus being able to provide a proper head to toe picture without any hassle

>>8566092
>overweight man asks for advice
>"kek, stop being fat faget, then we'll talk"
>overweight woman asks for advice
>"you're doing a great job, congratulations, you go girlfriend.... pls love me ;_:"

>>8565851
you need to lose more weight

go for basics while you're still losing, jeans and t shirts or something or do what anon said and go try shit on in mall tier stores

>>8566493
>I am still overweight (165lb at 5'6, still losing)
lurn 2 read

>>8566488
op is actively working to be fitter and healthier and didn't just post "260lb manlet here how to be effay" or any of the variations of that which are often met with generic 4chan faggotry

>>8565851
Don't adopt a style yet, just stick with cheap clothes until you're at your ideal weight because 1. it will give you motivation to keep losing weight and 2. you'll grow out of anything decent you buy anyway

I think you could may incorporate techwear into a girly outfit (neutral colours of course) like a cute skirt and top with a techwear top?
(PS. I don't really know what techware is)

Also: I'm proud of you OP.

>>8566519
I have surprisingly short, stocky legs, I have to get just about everything hemmed, unless I find it in a petite section.

I feel like my first instinct would be to pair a feminine top with a neutral pair of pants. I don't think the idea of a skirt has even crossed my mind lately, but, I'd love to keep my mind open, and maybe one day I'd be able to find a flattering skirt.

You guys are genuinely wonderful by the way, thank you for the fantastic feedback!

>>8565736
Dumb question, but what is this specific called?
"Veilance" seems to be the name of on an entire line, and the different jackets all look relatively similar. The exact jacket that's in the photo is nice..

Bump to respond later.

Dressing in a masculine techwear as a woman fits aesthetically with the techwear look. Also check out ACRONYM for cool female tech stuff

>>8566764
So nobody here knows which Arc teryx Veilance jacket the girl in the photo is wearing? I'm guessing it might be the 2014 Composite Jacket because that one has the low slung pockets I like. Does anyone happen to know for sure?

>>8567457

>>8567462

>>8567463
all i got

>>8567274
Deploy jacket I'm pretty sure. Dunno what year.

Godspeed though, OP. If you cop some tech clothes be sure to post, it'd be cool to see more female techwear fits.

>>8565911
>>8565940

tears coming to my eyes. you'll make it

>>8566798
I'm not going to be able to do up a post tonight, but if you post some more inspo of the kind of aesthetic you're after (techwear is vast) and keep the thread alive I can do something tomorrow. Conceptual stuff and a few fit collages of hot weather techwear that'll hopefully give you some ideas.

As far as the size changes - they have a point, but you could easily start copping accessories, footwear, and other gear now, and a baselayer tee that fits as intended now will make a nice oversize in a few months.

>>8567274
The information's on the net somewhere; I remember running across it once.

Pretty sure the picture antedates 2014, but it could very well be a very similar or identical piece.

If you feel drawn to techwear go in that direction. A really bad idea is wearing fashion that isnt congruent with you. My tip, dont buy anything until youre done losing weight, hring effay is expensive esp if you lose weight
. In the nean time lurk for inspo. It might take another 6 months to get skinny, but seeing the fits will inspire you.

>>8567467
Damn, this is good. Always nice to see fitpics with rare Acronym pieces.

>>8567509
her fits are fantastic

>>8567552
Oh, is that the same girl?

>>8567509
this site has some great inspo in general

>>8567457
Looks like he stole the bomb defusers jacket from a bomb squad

bump

>>8569256
Thanks for keeping my thread alive, I was sure it would have 404'd by now.

>>8567489
For the aesthetic, I wouldn't mind bringing in colour, similar to the original pic I posted, or, going with lighter shades, with the mindset of targeting a bit of lunarcore without the autism. I am more so drawn to interesting textures over plain fabrics, like those 'commando sweaters' with the vertical knit pattern and the smooth elbow and shoulder patches.

Monochrome black looks amazing, and I do have quite a few dark/black pieces, but I do want to diversify my wardrobe a bit.

>>8569414
There really aren't many images of women in commando sweaters, but I found at least one to go with my post.

>>8565730
>>8565851
>I am female who recently lost a large amount of weight (65lbs so far). I am still overweight (165lb at 5'6, still losing), but I look much better.
Holy shit, good job anon. That's quite the accomplishment.

>>8569458
Thanks. Weigh scale this morning said 163.8

We're all going to make it.

>>8567552
>>8567462
>>8567457

These kind of techwear fits look amazing, except it's the waifish asian women that are doing most of the work.

>>8565851
keep it up, anon.
you have a weird, frumpy mom-body right now.
Honestly, I wouldn't buy more clothes until you lose more weight.

>>8569514
Techwear is marked by its sophisticated outerwear but I think what keeps it feminine are the skintight sleeves and leggings that emphasize the physique of the limbs when curves cannot realistically be highlighted.

>>8566488

I wouldn't say she's overweight now. She's not thin, but she's not overweight either. She's thin enough that she is actually capable of looking good, unlike the hambeasts who usually post these threads

>>8565730
Wait until you've reached your goal weight/shape until you start shelling out cash for a wardrobe.
At most, in the time being, buy real cheap but ok looking stuff so you don't look total shit while your figure transforms over time.

Also the fact since you're not satisfied with your body fully yet, the better clothes won't do much.

Keep it up brah.

>>8566488
If the dude is actively losing weight I usually see people being supportive and giving similar advice.
Only when they're cunts and post le 4/10 to 8/10 mem is when people call him a fat fagit

As a 290lb fatty who is just beginning to lose weight and become effay you are inspirational. How long did it take you to lose the 65lbs?

Well done btw

>>8569813
Hmm. It was not linear at all. At my worst, which was 230lbs at 5'6", I was dating a man that was heavier than you. We both promised to lose weight, and it worked out well for a while.

I lost something like 50lbs, and he actually lost nearly 100lbs. But through the forces of 'fuck it', the dumbass ended up repacking on almost all of it, (at least 60lbs worth, last I saw him).

It was a cycle of yo-yo dieting on my end for many, many, months, while I tried to eat healthy, but failed because he kept influencing me. I'd lose 5, and gain 10, lost 15, maintain it, then gain it again. Ended up breaking up with him, and since, I broke through that bullshit and am back on track.

-----

Back to /fa/ though, here's a good idea of what I'm talking about when I say I accidentally end up dressing like a dyke sometimes. I have some well fitting pieces, but also a lot of over-sized pieces that I try to still use because it sucks having to donate endless trash bags of clothing to goodwill.

>>8569975

yeah im a lesbian what are you going to do about it?

>>8570011
fucking kek'd so hard

>>8570011

I didn't really want to post this, but the worst part, is that the bleached Palladiums from last night are mine.

..... oh god I feel downright retarded about fashion sometimes.

>>8570125

KEK THE FUCKING KEK

>>8570125
those calves wtf

>>8570125
I'm dying

>>8570141
ex-fatty calves.

>>8570125
Holy fuck. Buy some commuter cargos for those like space jew

Did you use to be a hamplanet? Why do you have calves of steel?

Don't buy anymore clothes until you are skinny, when you do get to that level, just start checking out pleb girly stores, forever21 might be a good start since its cheap and you can get idea of what you like and what looks good on you! However DO NOT make it a basis for everything you wear. Keep working at it OP, you'll make it.

>>8570125
holy fuck.

I..I'm speechless. I mean you're a woman, dressing like a man isn't going to work out for you. You need to wear clothes that compliment your womanly figure, men's clothes will always fit like shit on you. Like wtf are you doing here.

>>8570125
did you bleach those palladiums?

>>8570156
every ex fatty got calves of steel

>>8570196
Yes. The entire thread from last night was mine.

1. You're going to look like shit in men's clothes
2. You're going to look like shit in everything until you lose weight
3. Even if you did want to dress in men's clothes, it would look like shit on you because you're a "man"let and you're fat.

>>8570195
>>8570202
>Could I get some inspiration, and motivation, to find a nice feminine style that I could adopt, so I can stop dressing like a dyke?

Help me, /fa/, you're my only hope.

>>8570210
just get skinny and you'll be able to rock the mens style.
stay chubby and you'll just look like a dyke

Can you wear canvas palladiums in the in moderate winter (snow reaching ankles + ice)? Durability? considering copping

>>8570223
No

>>8570226
ayy man fuck you

>>8570210
Listen OP, once you do make it, you're gonna look hot ok. Grow your hair out, take care of it and your face, do your make up. You're gonna be pretty. I don't know shit about women's fashion, but just do your research on that yourself, you'll find inspo.

>>8565878
lol
you're a idiot

people carry weight differently. i'm 5'9 with a 25" waist and 40" hips and regularly get clocked at 130-140, when i'm almost 160.

>>8570125

Thankfully, I chose the 'worst' of my man-clothes.

I have some nicer flattering pieces, but my current summer wardrobe is all khakis and t-shirts.

Any summer female inspo?

>>8570357
you literally look like a chubby dude with nice hair

>>8570357
I've lost 70 pounds (fat to skinny), I've also lost 30 pounds twice (doing cuts), currently losing 20 pounds to get down to maintenance body weight then I'll probably stop with the bulk and cuts.

Once you get skinny, enough that when you arch your back your ribs become visible, or your cheekbones and jaw show a little, on you see muscle seperation. wow the improvement is massive. Keep going strong.

>>8570357
don't buy boot-cut jeans anymore. stick to skinny and straight leg jeans. what's the tightest fitting clothes you have? i can't really get a feel for your body shape currently, since all your clothes are either too big or boxy to hide your shape. you're a girl, do you not own leggings?

>>8570364
>literally
yeah ok

>>8570376
Leggings + huge legs might not be the best combination, at least, at my current weight.

>>8570395
not as a matter of something to wear. leggings are not pants, ever ever ever (and girls larger than you have worn leggings as pants before, it wouldn't be the first time i've seen it). i meant as a means to show what your actual body looks like, since your jeans are so boxy and ill-fitting.

>>8567274
It's from 2012
I saw it on tumblr not long ago you can find it if you search good enough

>>8570395
leggings are better than what you have, really. even for girls bigger than you.

>>8570395
you would look half cute if you just ent to forever 21 and got some skinny jeans to wear with that top

also, stop slouching, show off your tits more (next top you get, get super low cut)

right now you're showing the wrong cleavage (ass cleavage isn't cute)

>>8570125
:ooooooo!!!!!!!!!

>>8570125

>>8565736

That only looks good because the girl wearing is is tall, skinny, and pretty. On a short, overweight girl, it's going to make her look like a /v/irgin.

>>8569975

You need to get some sun. Being fair skinned is one thing, but you're basically glowing right now.

About to go out shopping. If I get anything nice, I'll promise to post it in the next WAYWT.

Hopefully I can find some slimmer fitting clothing.

>>8570815
godspeed! get a nice dress too, make sure it hits slightly above the knee and is fitted at the waist.

>>8567481
>>8570461
>>8567489

many thanks you guys

>>8570950
Back from shopping. Still need infinite more clothing, but this is where I'm at so far:

From H&M:
Basic Tanktops $6.95 x 4 (I had zero tanktops before, because of weight loss)
Black Leggings $12.95
Sundress $14.95
Flats that match sundress: $14.95
Less autistic beige sneakers: $29.95

And a stripey pink 3/4 sleeve shirt from Aeropostale for $25

Keeping it affordable, while I still lose weight, for a grand total of $134.21

>>8570735
Unlike my previous hambeast state, I blame genetics for my inability to tan. I have redheads in the family, and I am pretty freckled myself.

Goddamn it, I wish my weight loss would be faster. I keep looking at how large my calves and upper arms are.

Would you say it would be better to wear my sundress with, or without, black leggings? Also, I got the receipts for all this shit, so let me know if you think the fit is weird.

>>8571715
Love the shoes

>>8571956
without the leggings. Looks way cuter. Love that dress on you, girl :) definitely look up how to play with your hair. Srs you already look cute.

>>8571956
You're almost there, are you going to get surgery for your skin? Every girl I know that has gotten thin had her boobs deflate into tubey things with too much skin

>>8571956
Oh and don't forget the accessories! Get a couple pendants/necklaces and bracelets. They go a long way.

>>8572044
I'm a little flabby, but no real excessive skin. I think it's just a matter of continuing to lose more.
I do wish my tits were perkier, since they did suffer some deflation, so they are below average, but I've seen worse.

>>8571715
OP, why?
Collect inspo, plan future purchases, and continue to lose weight but I don't see much point in buying new clothes until you're at your preferred/ideal weight.

>>8570295
this, I am 5'11 and weight 180 lbs. still people think I weight 140-150lbs max. I am also into fitness.

>>8571956
you'll be a qt just keep losing weight. Also definitely left.

>>8572251
Because weight loss takes months. I'm not going to be buying expensive shit yet, but I can still start cultivating a style with cheap basics.

I've got some borderline techwear somwehat casual grunge inpo, I'll drop it for y'all

>>8573175

Thanks, these are my favorites because I could see them working for me. Posts like >>8573232, though, it's too similar to clothing I already have. Much too masculine. It looks great on her, since she is qt petite, but I'd just look like a chubby lesbian if I tried that.

>>8567612
she
