/fa/ - Fashion

Mr Porter sale is still going, should I cop? Felt it in DSM and it's more like a sweatshirt than a t-shirt, pretty nice

>>9289469

Graphic tees are never a good idea.

Anyone else living in the most /fa/ city in the UK?
Seriously, I see so many good fits just walking around the city center, jealous of most of them tbh.
Glasgow is amazing.

>>9289807
you should talk to him

>>9289807
Make friends with him anon

fuckin posho cunt

Was in Selfridges today and I saw this kid that couldn't have been much older than 14 wearing Geos, light blue Balmain biker jeans and some black hoodie.

He looked fairly silly tbh

>>9289834

No shit
Cheap mall stores which trend jump every 3 months exist to dress those fuckers.
I mean picture him wearing a tailored Tom Ford suit made for guys who hit the gym 5 days of the week while having a flabby body and shit frame with his underdeveloped bones and shit posture.

>>9289849
No I mean they were literally Geos and Balmain jeans, probably just has really rich parents.

had a really pilled up convo with this guy at a house party on nye about his ramones

surreal

>>9289878

And I meant he looks like shit because he tryna flex like if he were a rich nigga who runs a couple heat trap houses while being a flabby child

Tell me Brit-fa,

Between France and the UK

Which has
The most fa citizens
Better fashion retail opportunities
Most fa cities (to hang around and have photos of)

Anyone know any cool places to go out in Manchester?

I don't feel I'm taking full advantage of the Northern Quarter.

>>9289926
Do you even need to ask that.

>>9289936
Most French towns are provincial as fuck with terrible stores (literally worse than primark) and loads of French chavs.

>>9289926
France has Paris and what else exactly?

>>9290027
uk has london and what else exactly

>>9289930
What sort of music are you into? Almost Famous is great for food. Soup Kitchen has decent underground techno nights. There's tonnes of bars like Night & Day, Castle, Dry Bar, Mint etc. that have regular gigs. Sankeys is across the road in Ancoats. Warehouse Project is a 10 minute walk away.

Ask away, I've lived (and worked) in the city centre for 3 years.

>>9290050
what do u work as

What's Mark and Spencer's stuff like? Thinking of copping these Chelsea boots.

>>9290055
Designer at a fairly decent agency in the NQ

>>9290059
I wouldn't bother buying shoes from M&S. Why would you when you have so many amazing suppliers of Chelsea boots?

I only ever really buy their shirts for work and a few cheap bits (shorts/socks/ties etc)

M&S is great value. But it's still made in china shit with dadcore styling. I wouldn't.

>>9290059
I own some M&S chelseas. They're surprisingly decent.

>>9290050
Underground Techno sounds good, anything dark and bassy would be cool. Not just that though, just places where cool bands play, places where DJs play more off-kilter music. I know that's vague but I mainly just want places that are as different as possible from the typical Deansgate clubs and Tiger Tiger, i.e. don't play shit music and aren't full of arseholes.

>>9290059
>>9290176
>>9290191
The M&S quality to price ratio is actually pretty great, particularly on sale. There's a lot of frumpy dadcore stuff about but occasionally you can find some nicely styled stuff made from good materials. They're also seriously great for the entry level suiting game.

>>9290048
london has a far more diverse mix of culture than paris

paris is just paris, 3% rich 97% poor

>>9289469
sweatshirt tees are dope

>>9290176
Could you recommend other places where I can cop Chelsea boots in the UK? Specifically suede tan ones, with a relatively small heel and slim profile? I've found plenty of brown and black ones but no tan. Other than shit places like H&M and Asos or super expensive like SLP and BV there aren't any mid-priced boots in the market.

>>9290284
Clarks mainline has some occasionally good offerings, I saw some tan chelsea style boots in a catalogue and they looked decent. Don't knock M&S before trying though.

>>9290050
When do you know what night the techno is on at soup kitchen? Also any other nights that should be scouted out that isn't whp or Sankeys?

To the other manchester anon, you a student here or something?

How do I make friends in Liverpool? I've been away at uni and now I'm back I don't know anyone anymore.

>>9290822
Nah I just live here between terms

>>9291202
Walk down clapham high street Friday night. Approach people loitering

>>9290215
>>9290822
Avoid Deansgate/Printworks if you actually want a decent night out. Meandyou at Soup Kitchen is a decent night run by Joy Orbison. Check out Keep It Unreal at Band on the Wall which is more laid back house vibes run by Mr Scruff. They occasionally have techno nights in the basement of Whiskey Jar in the NQ. Also check out house/techno nights at Albert Hall, Gorilla and Antwerp Mansion (these places aren't in the NQ).

In terms of knowing who to see its hard to say really. Sometimes you'll go an see a particular performer/DJ or other times you'll just go for the night and general vibes. Check out the website Resident Advisor it usually has all of the house/techno club listings in the UK you should be able to filter it for Manchester.

>>9291220
no it's not...

Has anyone ever had any experience with Russell and Bromley? I'm thinking of copping these Chelsea boots, however now that I've seen the ones
>>9290059 posted which are half the price I'm a bit reluctant.

How's the quality? I know most of R&B shoes are made in Italy/Portugal as opposed to China, and are also Goodyear Welted. Thoughts?

>>9290822
>>9292200
As in I'm a student somewhere else if that wasn't clear

>>9292475
I've been to the soup kitchen and there isn't a whole lot of room there, is there another bit for the music nights?

>>9291244
i'll be your friend =)

>>9289454
This was me mostly playing around but I like the look, worried though about balancing the line of effimanacy too far to the left with it though.

>>9292772
Dont like the scoop neck or the shoes

>>9292827
What do you mean by you don't like them, it can mean a lot of things.

>>9292831
I just generally dont like scoop necks, just something odd about them

Shoes are just far too dark, it looks like you're going for some pale shit or something and the shoes just throw it off

>>9292837
Yeah only in hindsight did I see it was pretty close to that palewave shit but I wasn't going for it, personally I like the throw off.
And yeah its the only scoop neck I have, I mean it was actually an old cowl neck I owned that I just cut the cowl off so it looks odder still.

>>9292609
There's an underground bit. It's a pretty small venue though.

>>9291202
talk to people in smoking areas at clubs etc and get numbers, call them and meet the guy up some where.

I'm sure you probably can buy off the street in some areas, but I wouldn't take the risk of getting ripped off.

>>9289807

describe his appearance/one of his fits

>>9293008
describe one of your own fits
not him btw

>>9292475
Cheers mate, appreciated big time

Sick of wanting to get pilled up and ending up being dragged to lightboxx or some shit

>>9292772
Repulsive and it doesn't appear to be a 'look' as much as someone throwing things on.

>>9293059
Ok but now be honest and tell me what you really think.

>>9293067
suck dat belly in
bin the horrendous jumper
different shoes

>>9293022
almost always memochrome
silhouette varies but usually either slp-tier skinny or loose yohji/cdg type shit
typical uniform is black cdgh overcoat, black blazer, white button up, dm 1461s, slim black trousers
not much to describe but barely anyone on warwick campus actually wears all black/memeochrome

>>9293069
>dat belly
Come on thats clearly a baggy jumper, I'm little more than a stick figure.

so anyone here from wales?

>>9289926
Everywhere in France is beautiful. The women are classy and attractive and the guys look pretty chill. Uk women have bad skin and teeth and never take care of their appearance. I don't remember the last time I saw an attractive English girl

>>9292772
everything looks cheap af

>>9289685
Nice sarcasm, Glasgow and Scots in general are typically unfashionable, even more so because they're lagging behind England in trends anyway.

>>9293426
Because it is cheap af, excluding the shoes there's about less than 30 pounds in the outfit and I don't care much if it shows.

>>9289685
Glasgow is undoubtedly the shittest city in the UK if I had to live in either a third world slum or glasgow I would be hard pressed to make a decision.

>>9293169
m8 your country is about to become the second sweden of europe and here you are shit talking superior countries

>>9293458
Britain has had far far higher immigration than France in recent years, the UK went from have about half their immigrant population in 1990 to overlapping around 2010 and shooting ahead the last few years.

I don't know how Sweden still has the worse reputation tbh

>>9292772
Total disaster. Sorry mate.

Jumper looks like cheap shit with a huge scoop neck that doesnt fit your buttoned up shirt. Oh and nothing in that outfit matches. Are those formal trousers? Jesus Christ. You need to go back to square one.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH GOD IS THAT WHAT THE PEOPLE HERE DRESS LIKE I NEED TO LEAVE AAAAAAAHHAHAHAH

>>9292772

>>9291244
Where about in liverpool do you live?

>>9293480
Sweden accepts far more as a proportion of its pop. France still has a bigger Muslim pop.

You're right about our recent open borders. Its ridiculous how many illegal immigrants are living here. Go to slough and so many of those people are living i n sheds in peoples gardens illegally. The government isn't even capable of knowing how many we have since the border controls are such dogshit.

I'm actually thinking of moving to Lyon. Not because I'm a xenophobe but I just like it.

>>9293526
Relax mate I've never worn this out, just experimenting with shit I have in my closet.

>>9293101
I go to Swansea uni. Swansea is not fa

>>9293526
That's one example of an experimental fit the guy ha never even worn outside and won;t ever wear outside. He's trying to improve and was looking for advice. Post a fit.

Glasgow is actually a really nice city. Take your ignorant views elsewhere. Obviously every city has shit parts and slums and Glasgow is the same. It is also one of the friendliest countries in the EU. Glasgow's nightlife is also one of the best in Europe with places like Sub Club and the Arches. Most people generally dress quite well here apart from the obvious neds/bams. Please don't spout misinformed bullshit about cities you have never been to/know nothing about.

finally i can ask a decent crowd what the best barbour is

i copped this to try it but theres free returns so what do?

is 4 a*s at A-level effay

>>9294772
its no friends level effay. did you actually go out with mates on week days and weekends and still get those grades? if you did then you're a genius mate

My uni placement was a bit of a shitshow really, DU initially rejected me for my AS grades but I sorted myself out in upper sixth and got 2A*2A. Phoned up DU and got a place in Physics after waiting about 4 hours on the phone, worth it though, I'm definitely enjoying my time here.

>>9294705
not very /fa/ sadly

workwear on top
sweats underneath
plain tees, monochrome spectrum and a navy
pinrolled black or dark blue selveges
black trainers (the same pair all the time)

I can never ever find trainers I like, am I not looking in the right places or do i just not like trainers enough? (love the ones I own)

it might also be to do with me instantly hating stuff that's popular (an unfortunate lingering effect of my late-teens hipster attitude)

>>9294769
That's probably the worst barbour model I think
Beadle or ashby

>>9294788
>2A*2A
sick grades. how much did you revise? was it constant?

>>9294805
what sort of trainer are you looking for?

>>9294814
these are the ones I own (luckily the bit towards the front is nowhere near that shiny)

I like them because I like the silhouette i guess, they look pretty sporty without going full retard (like TNs). I don't know what it is.

most Nikes & Jordans wouldn't suit me, Aasics are too cunky, I don't like round toe-caps (Stan Smiths)

i reckon it's all just down to me being a special little snow flake and avoiding anything popular but i follow a couple of sneaker/trainer IGs and haven't seen anything i like

>how much did you revise? was it constant?
I went pretty hard because I knew I'd hate myself if I ended up going to a university I thought of as below my ability. It increased in intensity towards exam season naturally, I had to do more than usual due to a bunch of retakes but it was worth it in the end.

I mainly did a fuckton of past exam papers and brutally marked my work to isolate any gaps in my knowledge and then made sure I knew them later. That is seriously the best way to do it. Further Maths and Chem were probably the hardest, Physics A Level is a such a piss take it's not even funny.

Still had time to hang out with friends and I fucked about a bit a bit too but not as much as in lower 6th. The average AS grades were enough of a wake up call for me to kick myself into shape.

>>9294705
Like a sloaney faggot.

Except with nicer shoes and blazers.

There's nothing wrong with being a bit posh is there?

>>9294769
Get the bedale in rustic. Its the goat.

Its only downside is the huge collar.

Does anyone in this thread actually have a job? All these uni faggots are making me feel old.

Why do Uniqlo have like 5 stores in london and none anywhere else in the country? The north needs quality basics too, fuck.

It's too fucking hot in their stores though jesus.

>>9294853

>>9294857

i keep hearing that this is the best thing you could probably do but most people arent doing it lmao

where else did you apply?

>>9294857
I wish I was that mature by your age. I was still 17 by the time my exams finished so I fucked about as much as I could until the last minute, now I'm going to a uni that, while decent, is below my ability. I'm known as 'the smart one' in my circles. I have only mildly above-average intelligence.

Is Superdry effay?

>>9294731
I'm not, but that was pretty funny, so it's not ok to exist between 13 and 15 years of age? you're so cool man!

i'm pretty sure every single thing they release if plastered in logos and looks like shit. if you can find something good and it happens to be superdry there's no reason why you shouldn't buy it though
also why is there japanese all over the clothes. for what purpose?

>>9294905
>also why is there japanese all over the clothes
actually forget this i just found out why. pretty funny tbh

>>9294883
I used be considered the smart one. Then I met my uni mates and they're all way smarter than me. Its probably much healthier for me and makes me a bit more likeable.

Any of you lads manage to bang loads of qts at uni?

Everyone keeps telling me that I'm never going to find an easier time in life to get some and I've not even kissed a girl since I've been here

I'm not ugly or autistic, I have quite a decent amount of friends and am well known around campus and go out frequently

The fuck is going wrong? Is the "uni is a massive fuckfest" thing a meme or what?

Not fashion related but whatever

>>9294796
;)

You gotta just pick a girl and go for it. Even if she rejects you just blow it off.

Uni's a fuckfest but it's sort of a lucky fuckfest you'll go months without then all of a sudden shit loads comes around

Any london fags bored of the city?

I donno if it's cause my friends aren't really /fa/ or what but i just get kinda bored of the city then i go to the most boring uni in the country and feel even shitter

>>9294904
weak man, weak. and yes I'm going to keep responding, I have nothing else to do, when you get bored of it, that's cool, also:

CRAWWWWLINNNGGG IN MY SKIIIIIIIN

>>9294882
It really is the best strategy, if you want to get a good mark on an exam then practice loads until you get really good at exams. Give yourself time limits and everything.

>where else did you apply?
Oxford - fell at the last hurdle tfw
Bristol - pretty nice but I'd probably have felt unfulfilled there
Nottingham - had no intention of going there at all
Birmingham - nice campus, nicer than the entire city in fact

Sorry to hear that man. If you find yourself hating it then you can still reapply if you can bear to go through the process again, it's worked for a few people I know. Where you going to uni?

>>9294901
Every time I'm in there I'm scared I'll sweat so much into clothes I'm just trying on that I'll have to buy them.

>>9294147
i'm first year maths too :) if CS is the least /fa/ course then maths definitely takes second... Gotta love that guy who wears cargos and a lab coat every day!

>>9294924
don't say that man, pretty much the only driving force in my life right now is to move to london

have you tried exploring more of the nightlife?

>>9294912
Whatever people say take it with a pinch of salt.
There's always a few fuckfaces on 4cheng who will brag about banging loads of qts. Fucking hell, I swear everyone on /trv/ is a casanova.

Speaking from the perspective of someone who went through uni and out again, most peoples fresher weeks were underwhelming. Like when Japanese people go to Paris. Don't have any expectations and just enjoy the ride. No one will judge you if you don't sleep with loads of girls but if you're lucky and you get around, don't brag about it.

My first year was fairly lucky and I got around. (Got a gf in the second year) However I didn't have very high standards and I was pretty much jumping on anything that moved. I wasn't even a bad looking guy (although I had zero friends at school because I was a douche). However in the first week I just became very outgoing and I was lucky really to make friends who would make me feel good even if I wasn't getting anywhere with girls. Prioritise friends over girls. They've all stuck around whilst the random slags I shagged certainly haven't.

The only other tip I can give is to get out of your comfort zone and don't be narcissistic at all. Ever read that molester man manga? Be like that broccoli guy. In fact if you want to get into the uni and really enjoy it I think you should get off /fa/ immediately.

Good luck m8

>>9294977
P.S. read molester man. I don't care if you don't like anime. Its a good story.

>>9294924
>then i go to the most boring uni in the country
Imperial?

>>9294970
London is amazing. But I'm only going there because all my mates live there. I wouldn't go there If you don't have friends there. Might as well go live in a foreign city.

Does anyone shop at the jcrew gant stores in regents street? Anything worth copping? It all seems very overpriced for what it is.

>>9294977
Mate I'm already at uni, about to start my second semester

Like I said I've got a fair group of friends: from back home, in my accommodation and from my course

Been going out a fair bit, been doing relatively well on my course and all this, just not had any luck at all with girls

Although I have essentially turned out two girls from the flat opposite but that's because I didn't want anything to happen between me and two girls who I'll be living with next year/live with this year

>>9294970

Honestly go to Bristol/Liverpool

I've lived here my whole life and it's gotten so much shitter in the last 5 years. London nightlife culture is pretty much dying

>>9294924
what are your interests besides /fa/ ?
I feel like London can cater to anything, but yeah I get bored of anywhere I spend to long on

>>9295019
I went to uni in bristol and would love to go back but there aren't a lot of jobs (gradschemes), I'm gonna job hunt tomorrow and look there, Bristol is basically the perfect city it's just that if I'm not going to be getting a proper post-uni job there's no point moving anywhere else (yet)

might also look at manchester

what's dying about london's nightlife? is it the price or just how everything's become far more legit and above board in recent years?

>>9295007
Oh i didn't really read your post.

Anyway it sounds like you're having a fairly average experience. If you really wanna get laid just go clubbing or better yet join one of the sports clubs and wait until you go on tour.

>>9295035
Central London is going to get 24/7 tubes this year, no more having to pay for a cab fair so there should be some more people about. I'd say it's gonna get better, there are still licensed clubs that don't close until like 7 anyway

>>9295028
Too be honest this is probably the problem; music, clubbing, football and /fa/ aren't the most diverse of hobbies

>>9295035
Pretty much what you said, Plastic people closed down, Fabric almost closed, Cable Closed down.

Can't really go to illegal raves no more

If you are going to move to london, move to the east as much as i hate shorditch/dalston it's the only area where stuff is actually happening

>>9295037
>go clubbing

I've been going clubbing quite a bit and only really talk to girls in the smoking area but I can never "progress" it sort of thing

Know it sounds kind of spergy but any idea how?

>>9295064
lay off the mandy

nah seriously though, smoking areas aren't the best place to 'progress' it. i've only pulled in pubs/parties because you can actually chat there without constantly thinking about the tenner you paid to get in

What was your best buy of 2014?

Got this jacket a few months ago and constantly get complimented on it

>>9295086
bought a rains anorak late august-ish and randomers keep saying it's great (one guy asked for a feel outside the library though)

>>9295092
how nice would you say it is? i was going to wait for cav empt ss15 to see if they restocked pic related but i may just get a rains

>>9295056
shame about Plastic People, would love to have gone there, apparently the system was incredible, and yeah I'd go east/south as that's where everyone is nowadays, there are so many nights every week with worldclass line-ups still though surely

>>9295047
they're open late yeah but from what I can tell it used to be a lot more wild west, places just popping up for one off parties and loads of places having good pretty big things happening (like FWD)

>>9295086
got this last month and same, gets a lot of love

WTAPS hell in bone btw

>>9295100
i really like it. it hangs pretty nicely and it's actually surprisingly warm coz of its mesh lining. tbh though i'd go with the cav if it's available

Brits are ugly as sin thanks to generations of skinnyfat wimps doing academic research.
At least in the states after you get done catching up on banach manifolds you can hop on your motorcycle and head out to the wilderness with your colt 1851 navy and hunt buck.

>brit threads

Does Britain truly have a drastically different fashion to the entire rest of the world?

>>9295469

>>9295507
What? There was a guy who ordered those shoes while drunk and had to wait two months to receive them from Nike ID. I'm not 'memeing' or saying they're shit m8, I was trying to find out if you were him

>>9295525
nvm m8 didnt think u were
that was me, they havent arrived
drugs not drink doe

>>9295503
No but all of the retailers that Americans talk about are completely unavailable in the UK unless you want to get fucked by import duties.

I'm a Canadian who just moved to London yesterday for school. Worried it is populated by lads...can someone put my worries to rest?

>>9295768
You'll probably find less lads in London than other places. Or maybe I'm wrong? I haven't encountered many. Stay far away from lads and you'll be fine, they're fucking easy to spot

>>9295804
what are some good places to meet people? I live in Marylebone

>>9295827
I work down that way so I got a place there.

>>9295132
what're those made of?

Where do they stock geos/ramones in store other than the rick shop? not going in there lmao

>>9295086
OL red raw silk shirt, it's absolutely beautiful

>>9296630
Selfridges, Liberty, Harvey Nichs

The Rick store isn't so bad, I went in there clearly not about to buy anything but the staff were still really friendly. One of the SAs looked like Alexander Wang.

>>9296389
Mine are shell cordovan and are slightly less shiny

>>9295132
Those look like they feel odd to walk in

>>9293073
that's what i'm saying man. the jumper makes you look like you're starting a pot belly. whether or not you actually have one is irrelevant.

kudos for giving it a go and having the confidence to post though man. i apologise, it's too easy to criticise on here.

>>9295389
fuck no

whats it like?

>practically dropped out of 6th form because i was planning to kill myself, didnt study at all
>didnt kill self because pussy
>get to uni
>made 0 friends because pussy with no social skills, just stayed in room
>dropped out in 2nd year
>now just waiting until everything gets to bad i can finally do it without regret

i thought it would at least be easy to make friends but everyone else seemed to already know eachother in minutes, what the fuck, i should have gone to the freshers events but i had no one to go with

>>9298080
what about roommates? also why the fuck did you not go to freshers? you dont need to go with anybody, maybe that's why they all knew eachother

>>9298080
bruh come on, you can't keep making things worse for yourself until you feel too much like shit to the point where you're willing to die

Stop the descent and work towards getting shit back on track. I could post a million other pieces of advice for someone suicidal because I've been there, but I don't want to seem condescending.

Just stop that shit and work on making everything better for yourself because it's nobody else's obligation to

>>9297620
