give us some help here, what do you own already, what is your budget, general aesthetic, race even?

>>8668707

t shirt and jeans is fine as long as they complement and compliment your body nicely.

>>8668707
Post in the fuccboi thread. Also if you're Indian don't even bother

>>8668717
i have a closet full of like graphic t shirts, the kind of shit you find at like a skate store. For school i had to invest in some dress pants/dress shirts also but i feel like i got some frumpy looking things and didnt do it quite right. I dont know what to look for in dress pants/shirts and good color/pattern combinations

Budget i guess is whatever, i dont really want to spend $100 on a dress shirt if i can have a handful that look good at $40 each. Id feel comfortable spending $100 on pants but budget can move a bit too.
Average looking dude 7/10, have decent beard and am 23 but look a few years older. 6'0" and 190lbs build white dude

>>8668726
what makes a tshirt and jeans combo good for your body? i'll go grab some pics of shit i'd wear on an everyday basis so you guys can see where i'm starting here, back in a minute

>>8668765
Proper fit and flattering cut. Do the shoulders on the shirt line up with your shoulders? Do you fill out your shirt? Do you need to use a belt to stop your pants from falling down? Do your pants drag on the floor?

It would be worthwhile to swap your graphic tees for solid colours, and your prefaded denim for raws and chinos

okay so heres the jeans i wear on a daily basis as well a randomly selected shirt. I dont like the shirt very much because its old and faded but its the same kinda style i usually wear

and here is some jeans i bought recently that i think look a bit more fashionable. Theyre darker black kinda and i bought some leather shoes to wear with them. The shorts are my nice pair of shorts. Wondering what type of shirt i should wear with the jeans and the shorts

>>8668830
okay the shoulders is something i'll keep an eye out for next time i shop. Are there pics of proper fitting tshirts for somebody with my body type versus a shitty fitting shirt?

I have a handful of solid color shirts from H&M, are they an acceptable addition to a wardrobe?
I have no idea what prefaded vs raw vs chino means

>>8668707
Start with something basic as fuck, lurk a ton, find fits posted here you actually like, learn why those fits work and what makes them work, start building a wardrobe based on fits/styles you like.
For start get basic ass shit, few black tees, few white ones, slim indigo jeans, slim black jeans, grey/black sweatshirts/hoodies. Go throw every print tee you have in to the trash, they are more than likely terrible.

>>8668864
The shorts are terrible. Just plain fucking terrible.
The jeans are alright, but don't get straight models, try to buy slims, the ones posted here: >>8668854 fit terribly.

>>8668891
does it matter what type of basic t shirts? i have a few cheap ones from h&m with the little v-neck, is there going to be any difference in look between that and a plain color tshirt from another store apart from it falling apart after washing it twice?
>>8668907
whats wrong with the shorts? what style shorts should i be looking for instead

>>8668907
yeah slims aren't gay at all

>>8668930
if you're going to buy shorts get solid colors, make sure they fit on or above your knee and aren't too wide

>>8668932
get off /fa/

>>8668932
have fun with your ugly jeans and bitter personality

>>8668907
he probably can't wear slims because he's built

I do cycling a lot and my thighs are too muscular for me to wear slims, I either can't get them over my thighs or are too wide for me in waist.

>>8668930
>>8668960
should i just try out slims/straight next time i buy pants? I googled what boot cut means and i think it looks pretty shitty, thats probably the kind of jeans i own right now in that pic

>>8668932
That's /fa/ for you. I used to think /hm/ was the gayest board on 4chan, but nope

>>8668707
>Most days i can be found wearing a t shirt and jeans.
That's what /fa/ wears so you're already caught up. There's nothing else we can teach you.

>>8668854
My niggas why you got the legs of a Scizor

>>8668854
oh god no those jeans fit horribly. I know it takes time but the best way to get your own style is to just lurk, posting occasional cop or nots and what have you

what are the general rules for dress pants/shirts

>>8668707
my suggestions:
start with shoes and hair. those are most important.

running shoes are "in" right now but i'd start with something a bit more timeless. converses and vans look silly. if you don't want to splurge too much you can get some new balances or army trainers (jcpenny has some really nice ones on sale). if you're comfortable with spending a coin and want something that will last a whiiiiile get some red wings and take care of them or some common projects. black and white are usually safe options with shoes. until you really know what you're doing i'd avoid bright colors or even shit like navy or grey. don't skimp on shoes.

next i'd move to pants. if you squat hxc you might have to get taper fit pants instead of "skinny" pants. if you're on a budget go for levi "waterless" type of pants. you really only need 1 pair. memochrome is probably the easiest way to look good so i'd go with black but if you want something a little more sustainable get light indigo (i would say dark indigo but it seems like light indigo is coming back.) also brown and white shoes go best with indigo jeans, black shoes go best with black jeans and look eh with indigo jeans). if you get shorts make sure they have a short inseam. shorts like chubbies etc. no cargo pants unless they're short inseam and cut really close. i wouldn't skimp on pants but if you absolutely HAVE to hm has alright pants at poverty level prices.

next for shirts, uniqlo has really well cut tees for a budget. don't wear them too tight or you'll look like a tryhard. if you want to splurge a bit go to american apparel. v-necks are long gone get some crew necks. heather grey, navy, etc are all good colors for tees. black is kinda cheesy to me.

if you have any more questions shoot me an e-mail at deadlyboyscoutcookie@gmail.com

pic related is me so you can decide if advice worth taking or not

>>8669475
also a striped oxford (uniqlo has good priced ones) and alpha d1 or bonobos. assuming you mean like smart casual stuff and not actually dress pants/shirts.

>>8668874
Raw jeans are untreated and unwashed jeans. They're dipped in dye (usually indigo) and sent to the consumer. The idea of these jeans is the dye gathers in the natural stress points of your body (knees, hips, benis) and when you eventually wash them (6 months to 1 year of wear) the excess dye in these areas falls off and gives you a personalized fade. Prefaded jeans are manufacturers attempts to duplicate this look, and often look unnatural. Chinos are what people call khakis, but Chino is more correct because they come in many colours, not just khaki.

OK i'm gonna be friendly, despite /fa/ shitting on your fit, because I'm drunk and it's 11 p.m. here.

Read the sticky.

Don't wear those jeans or any graphic tees. If you want to be avbove basic pleb without visiting /fa/ on regular - plain tapered (I don't mean skin tight, jeans that you want are shorter than your pic and have 2-4 cm free space from the skin on the WHOLE lenght, from calves to ankles). washed (don't buy into raws shit) mid-rise navy jeans jeans, and basic t-shirts in non-abrasive, muted colors, those from H&M are enough but go for Uniqlo if u can.

With that, basic bitch's plain Nikes or #menswear boots like Wolverine or Iron Ranger and you are settled.

Now I need sleep so bye.

so raw jeans you cant wash them for half a year? what if you spill shit on them

>>8670204
>only half a year
lmao

obviously you wash if they need to be cleaned

>>8670199

1-5/10 = very ugly to ugly
6-8/10 = average
8-10/10 = good looking

the hungry skeletons of /fa/ think anything over a BMI of 17 is fat

>>8670204
Spot clean without detergent. If you wash them early the fades will be less defined. It doesn't really matter that much.

>>8670214
1-4 ugly
5 average
6-10 good looking

>>8670214
>dat american style "everyone is above average!" scale

1-2 Hideous
3 Noticeable under-average
4-6 Normal range- a vast majority of people are in this range (50-75% of any population)

with your fit lifestyle and body type you are better off lurking r/mfa for nice "dadcore" fits (more Americana, think J Crew styling) than /fa/ which is full of tunnelvision nerds that think wearing rick owens outside is OK. this will get you the public respect and attention you are probably looking for. in that case it is better to lean towards more modestly cut jeans (not skin tight) which will probably fit your legs better and fit the americana style better

>>8668932
slims arent even skin tight which is what makes pants look feminine
if they are you're probably fat

easy way to be fashionable
buy a lot of really basic solid color tees
buy 2-3 pairs of chinos, should be slim fitting, get a darker khaki color, maybe an olive color, and maybe a navy pair. really neutral tones are important when you don't reallyknow what goes together
Shoes should be things like new balance or desert boots
bam how to dress well and not know shit about fashion

>>8670258
I made this a year or so ago when this discussion came up and standard deviations were talked about.


Completely unrelated, but this seems like a questions that don't deserve their own thread thread; I'm going to go over seas for a while (year at least) to France from Canada.

Should I buy clothes over here where everything is fitted for a 6' man or should I wait and buy them in a country where the average height is a few inches shorter as a short man?

>>8668984

Levis 508s are roomier in the leg and ass but still have the slim taper below the knee that looks good. You can also buy straight leg jeans and have a tailor make them tighter below the knees for $15. Youre also gonna want to buy shorter jeans that end at the ankle instead of stacking up on the foot.

>>8669691

the average dude doesnt want to deal with that shit. I spend hours a day on this board and it still sounds like too much fuckin trouble.

>>8670199
>6 feet, 190
>fat

forgot /fa/ was full of hungry skeles, muscles are a real thing

You have quite good facial shape mate. Personally I would get the sides cut a bit shorter in comparison to the top next time.

This is exactly what /fa/ was like circa 2008.

dadcore level. Good for beginners

>>8672943

clothes is okay for 30yearold men maybe, but boys decide to wear this shit and look autismo

>>8672954
They've changed so fast that >>8672941 is more akin to what mfa's will look like this year

Important note: hoodies are for fuccbois and teens

>in b4 dadcore

>>8672967
it's a cheat sheet gives a beginner an edge so they can easily keep up in /fa/. When I was a beginner last year everything was hard to understand because of /fa/'s transition from dadcore to edgy meme core. The info-graphs back then are so lame and boring that leaves you clueless. Good thing some anons last year made a sticky.

>not being 30

>>8673001
Holy fuck did you live with your parents until you turned 30?
And at that age you are still browsing imageboard for mongolian shadowtheater?
Why haven't you ordered helium tank yet?

>>8672990
i agree it can be hard starting out when you don't know brands/ designers and you keep looking up shit to start on and only come up with 5k YSL jackets or 1.2k Geobaskets. Its not representative of /fa/ it just allows someone to come to /fa/ take something out of it that they want/need and gives them basic knowledge they can use to branch out into the rest of /fa/. Lord knows our jargon can be hard enough to figure out.

This is fucked.
There is a uniqlo opening near me at a very very expensive mall. Their merchandise is sure to be double price.

How would someone go about getting a "I look good but I'll beat the shit out of you if you look at me the wrong way" kind of look? Specifically a bulky, slightly above average height person?

>>8675120
Then buy online?

>>8676872
Lol

Get some life experience, get fucked over by life countless times, get raped in the ass by life daily, be in constant frustration at the day life you have to take up to support your hobbies and nightlife

This will give you the demeanor of willingness to whoop someone's ass once disrespected

But no one will disrespect you because you pushed through all the bullshit an still do - you inspire those around you - you make people want to be like you

Your tough guy facade is a joke

>>8668854
poor OP, I got almost the same pair of jeans and I honestly don`t know what I thought when I bought them. First of all bootcut is a big no go unless you're a cowboy faggot. But I guess you bought them because your thighs and or calves are pretty thick (mine are too...cycling and shit) so you can't go for skinny ones. I recently bought a pair of black stretch jeans which fit just like a skinny one without me looking like a t-rex . maybe try one of them, but only in black. blue stretch jeans (doesn't matter if light or dark) generally look like shit.

>>8676872
Go for a skin head look. I havent got any photos but a shaved head, jeans and a black bomber jacket should do the trick

Did you really read the sticky? there's like 10 pages of info graphics on it on hair styles, jean fits, color pallets.. pretty much everything you're asking about

A good place to start would be to throw away all your graphic tees and replace your baggy, washed out jeans with slim-straight ones

>>8668932
lol fucking typical, why'd you even come here?

>>8676943
Oh no, I will beat the shit out of you if you look at me the wrong way. I just really want to drive the point home, you know?

>>8677452
Bought them because was totally ignorant to the idea that there were different shapes of jeans. I now know better, thank you /fa/

>>8678131
