/fa/ - Fashion

Look at anon wearing a glossy black-cowhide jacket and you can almost hear the dialogue that goes through his head: “I can’t pull off a leather jacket. Wait a minute. You know what? Screw it. I’m going to be the guy who looks good in one. Wait a minute. Does this fit right?”

You can picture him slipping it on, looking in the mirror, and thinking to himself, “Nice”. What he failed to consider is that a leather jacket makes a statement. Despite the jacket’s fit or design, the statement is not a flattering one. Leather jackets are synonymous with the movie icons of the previous century. Images of the bad boys, James Dean and Marlon Brando come to mind. Younger men, trying to sex up their image, try to emulate these movie icons. Leather jackets have, essentially, been relegated to costume wear. No matter what kind of leather jacket you wear, someone will think, “Wow, he’s trying to pull off the Marlon Brando look.” What does this mean? It means that you cannot be taken seriously when wearing a leather jacket.

But you might think, “Leather jackets are timeless! They can be pulled off! Post a fit, fuccboi!”

My answer: No. Leather jackets are costume-ish. Costume-ish is precisely how the cowhide jacket looks on a hapless fool from /fa/. It’s time to get real. Leather jackets don’t exude coolness or sex appeal. They are tacky and are doomed to clichédom. In the collective subconscious of /fa/—despite ample evidence to the contrary—is the idea that leather jackets appeal to girls. On the contrary, walk down the street in a leather jacket and every girl will perceive you as a threat or entirely pathetic. She will avoid you. She will imagine you as a greasy creep that might possibly grope her ass, or even worse, a greasy little nerd that wants to look like a badass. A leather jacket is a mistake in first impressions.

You're so dedicated

oh fuck, when did bandido come back

fuck off, bandido

>In the collective subconscious of /fa/

who the fuck on /fa/ wears leather jackets

you are incorrect

When a leather jacket is thrown over an outfit, it serves as an event horizon; the point of no return. That leather jacket instantly ruins the outfit, and it testifies the poor fashion sense of the wearer. Leather jackets never look good. Never wear a leather jacket.

I backpacked across Europe for 3 months. I rushed back to the States so that I could warn /fa/ against wearing leather jackets. I sure hoped /fa/ behaved itself while I was gone. The last thing this board needs is more Marlon Brando wannabes.

>>8704027
There are virginal nerds wearing leather jackets all around us. Just open your eyes, amigo. Remember when /fa/ was all over ToJ and All Saints? Heck, I bet that there are a few sperglords who still swear by Schott Perfecto jackets.

>>8704018
I do this for /fa/.

>this would look good if it was a size smaller and the guy didn't have his hair that high up

No, it really wouldn't. Leather jackets never look good. Case in point, take a look at pic related.

>this looks fine
Stop being wrong.

Not everyone's as insecure as you op. Not everyone lives in their basement 24/7 (like the people you are posting) so they can pull off a leather jacket.

>>8704073
>. . . so they can pull off a leather jacket

Let me fix this for you:
>. . . and it's impossible to pull of a leather jacket anyway.

I loved the trip. It was an experience. Knowing a few people abroad also made the trip affordable. My itinerary was:
London, UK > Amsterdam, Netherlands > Brussels, Belgium > Paris, France > Frankfurt, Germany > Munich, Germany > Montreux, Switzerland > Vienna, Austria > Budapest, Hungary > Prague, Czech Republik > Warsaw, Poland > Hamburg, Germany > Barcelona, Spain > Madrid, Spain

I made sure to visit small, surrounding towns wherever I went. The people were nice, the food was great, and there were absolutely no leather jackets wherever I went.

>>8703997
uhm, I think that the main problem is not with leather jackets, but with who wears them...
it seems like many people think they need to try to look badass with a leather jacket, so they don't wear it like any other garment and end up like they're trying to play a role or doing cosplay...

>>8704058
>this looks fine

oh god, I don't think... am I wrong, or is that guy wearing a replica of dante's leather coat in devil may cry 3? D:

Leather jackets are cool and everyone wears them. Way to cherry pick some ugly mofos and be autistic about it. Buy a quality leather jacket that fits perfectly and it will look good, provided your face and physique is not shit.

>>8704072
The dude in your pic looks ok, he just has an ugly face.

>Stop being wrong.
Stop being an idiot and realise that fashion is subjective.

You really should've considered how no one gives a shit about this before investing so much time and effort in writing this.
