so shit like this is acceptable, but converse and vans are not?

[Anonymous No.10060879]

cool shoes

[Anonymous No.10060921]

Vans are cheap shit and they look it. For every fit that's ever worn Vans, there's always a shoe out there that will look significantly better instead.

Converse work with some fits and in certain styles and there aren't many shoes that replace them in those fits, but they have a reputation because of the kind of people that wear them.

Chelsea boots are sick as fuck and while they can be worn by self-centered douches, but they have been worn almost only by fashionable people since their creation.

i own 2 converse shoes and i wear them 3-4 times a week, i can guarantee that i have more friends than you and i'm getting laid more often than you. if you think i'd do better in life without wearing them you should consider suicide as soon as possible.

When I think "average converse wearer" I think of this guy.

I KNOW he is wearing Converse below where the picture cuts. I KNOW it. I Wish they were wearable, but whenever I see people wearing them I just know they bought them 6 years ago when they were 14 and they haven't thought to stop wearing them at any point in their lives.

Also in the group: scene, emo, euphorics, manchildren, hipsters who wear them because they found their parents' pair from the 80's.

It's unfortunate, they look nice, but I just find them so unwearable.

idk, but has a girl ever complimented one of your fits? I ask this because ever since I bought my SLP harness boots grills have been eyeing me and stuff, it first started with one grill asking me if she could touch them, but a few days ago this grill smiled at me, said hi and said she liked my boots, doing some research I've found out that Harry Styles wears them too so I assume the attention I'm getting it's because of that, so I'm don't wear them as much as I use to now because of that.

[Anonymous No.10061294]

>>10061253
Thanks, I like them shiny and clean because that's what I'm into. Also looks more suited for parties and office environments I work at (also good for seeing clients).

I understand where you come from with how the boot is feminine, I don't mind too much though. Open shoes are what I personally identify as feminine.

fashion is a way to express yourself, it is less about getting laid and more about creating interesting, good looking outfits, kinda like a giant puzzle game with a lot of pieces to fit together to create interesting combinations.
You could say it is a form of art, which becomes more obvious in high fashion shows.
Expressing yourself through fashion doesn't equal getting pussy, it is a mistake that many of the people who come to this board make.
Take the church shooter kid for example, he was a loner and probably even a virgin, but you can not really deny that he had a good sense of fashion. He wore good fits and didn't drown in pussy, on the other hand there are the Chicago Bulls cap wearing swaggots that look absolutely ridiculous and score shiploads of pussy by not being fashionable at all. Do you want to know why? Because they are sociable!
That is what gets you pussy, sure, if you look good and dress well you might even be approached by girls, but if you're not sociable you're not going to fuck any of them and all you get out of it is a copy pasta on 4chan about how an underaged girl touched your SLP harness boots.
BUT!
If you dress socially acceptable and are sociable, you can actually approach girls by yourself, and getting to that point is the key of getting pussy in the first place.

TL;DR:
Fashion - the art of expressing yourself
Confidence - the trait needed to get pussy

that's not true at all. you can express yourself, and i can say that i don't like your expression. that's not inconsistent.

people who honestly try to create and express themselves readily admit that not all of their expressions are good or aesthetically pleasing.

"express yourself" =/= everything is praiseworthy or immune from aesthetic criticism. that's a very sophomoric manner of thinking that aims at trying to "win the debate" and does not aim at trying to gain an insightful understanding of what the other person is saying to you.

speak in good faith or don't even bother--go back to /pol/ or /r9k/ or wherever the fuck you come from

[Anonymous No.10061766]

>>10061738
you are not saying "i don't like vans and converse", you are saying "using them is bad".

there is no good or bad in "expressing yourself" unless you are crossing someone's limits of freedom or generally hurting someone.

if fashion is expressing yourself, and you can say "this is bad in every case" i can say "van gogh was a fucking loser and he should've burnt all his work" and i'd be right too, in your point of view.

please grow up. i come from /fit/, i thought our board was the most autist one until i saw this board.

p.s. if you say you can't look good with converse with an aesthetic point of view, you should reconsider breathing ever again, since you are a brainwashed wannabe autist.

no i'm not, >>10061738 is my first post in the thread. you're categorically incorrect.

i actually like converse sometimes.

but you come into this board and peek around and think you know something. you didn't come here with an open mind, you came here to reinforce your preconceived notions. so there's literally no point in trying to have a discussion with you, you're essentially shitposting.

intellectual honesty requires genuine effort and an attempt to give what someone is saying a generous reading.

lurk for a few months at least, read up on this shit before you shoot your mouth off indignantly. if you can't bother to do that, then honestly why would anyone bother to answer your questions.

you don't go to a conference of nuclear physicists and ask them to explain how to help you memorize the periodic table.

not that /fa/ is a bunch of nuclear physicists, but the point is that you're coming into a place where people talk about a specialized interest and demanding that someone explain to you why you don't instantly comprehend everything that is popular among that group.

"WHY DO YOU ALL LIKE THIS THING THAT I CAN'T IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTAND?! YOU MUST BE WRONG. I'M DEFINITELY RIGHT."

Why are 90% of models thin? Bc the fashion designers who know way more than you think their clothes look better on those types of bodies. Fit bodies do not make clothes look good, they just don't. Really skinny or Ottermode are the only bodies that synergyze with clothes well. Fit is deluded

[Anonymous No.10061881]

>>10061699
to come back to the puzzle analogy, some pieces only connect with a few others, but when they connect it, they connect really really good, while others just kinda connect with everything but are nothing spectacular, Converse are the latter, they can be worn with pretty much everything but always look kinda meh, while designer clothing like Rick Owens shoes are really hard to match with something in a balanced way, that's why most people dressed in Rick look like ridiculous tryhards, the few people that actually manage to get a balanced look wearing something like this have a high chance of looking unique in a good way, which brings us to the next part.
When you're expressing yourself via fashion, the more serious you take it the more you'll try to move away from the crowd, having individual designer or DIY pieces in your fits and whatnot, do you see why converse are a problem here?
Everyone and their mother owns a pair of converse, they are "beginner shoes" and almost nobody that is aiming high with his outfits would consider them based on this alone.
Lastly it is also always a question of personal preference, I personally don't find the design appealing at all.
I do not judge anyone that likes them and I would never call someone on the street out for wearing them, because they are okay shoes, but on a board specialized on fashion they don't really belong.

no. i never said to "go back there" i just said there is a 100% chance you use reddit.

there is not a more bland and safer piece of footwear than a chelsea boot. it has a shitty aesthetic and really only functions as a way too conservative shoe that won't stand out in a good or bad way.

it was the shoe made for reddit, a bunch of beta males who come together in one place for encouragement. like i said, it is safe. nobody will criticize you for wearing them, which is the most important thing on a site like reddit where upvotes and downvotes reign supreme. you won't get downvoted for wearing them, and in fact, you may find yourself getting a lot of upvotes if you do wear them on reddit. reddit likes safe things and things that aren't against the grain. the chelsea boot encapsulates this in the most noticeable way. you will fit in with other redditors and may even get invited to a meetup where you will come across other people wearing chelsea boots and you will all go horseback riding together one brisk summer's eve and ride a train of upvotes into the sunset and become reddit legends

You're mindset still revolves around getting pussy, tell me, is getting pussy the sole motivation behind your training?
Do you only build muscles and work on your body for hours every week just so you can fuck random chicks?
If so, I'm really sorry that it didn't work for you, because if you'd be getting as much pussy as you claim you'd feel extremely different about it, believe me, been there, done that.
It's not a fulfilling lifestyle.
But because I feel kinda sorry for you I'll repeat myself again, you don't get pussy while being fashionable and you don't get pussy by being fit, you get pussy by being confident and at least somewhat charismatic.

You don't really make much sense, do you?
And if you're interested in my opinion, I don't like Chelseas either, for a similar reason I don't like Converse, I don't find them visibly appealing and they are getting extremely popular right now, so expressing myself and standing out from the crowd becomes harder. They are not even close as widespread as Converse yet, but they seem to become a trend amongst the 20-40 year old crowd.
