yeah op i get where youre coming from. people who spend shit loads on bizarre pieces from rick or ann and look like freaks, are only alienating themselves from people, not to mention spending a ridiculos amount of money they probably dont have on something that isnt especially well made

respect from less fashionable people? I personally don't have any yearn to splash out on rick because I wouldn't want to dress like that in public, it's a little try-hard, but I find a lot of high-end stuff still pretty nice and /fa/ is useful to stay on top of trends.
I browse the board mainly because I like clothes though, not because I crave attention.

/fa/ is a subculture like any other. The people who post here are a more or less self-selected group of people into fashion, and some within that group tend to take it in weirder directions. This is especially the case considering a lot of posters feel that they are too ~special and unique~ to dress like a "normie."

The reality is that SLP, Rick, Yohji, etc. are not going to get you laid among normal women, and in many cases those outfits will be considered more weird than attractive.

I think what was at play was you weren't actually comfortable in what you were wearing, you basically wore certain clothes because the internet told you to.

Another thing to assess is the crowds you were trying to attract. If you were aiming for a bunch of typical plebs then they're not going to like your haute couture garbage anyway. They're infinitely more impressed by what big name apparel companies and publications tell them is fashionable, in other words #menswear GQ style shit.

Believe it or not but how you dress has a major impact on the types of people you attract. So you dress plebby, you attract plebs. But it looks like you're pretty happy so I'm guessing you were a pleb to begin with.

going deep into any subculture alienates you from the general population, and things on 4chan only exemplify this because everyone here wants to take their hobby to the absolute extreme and make it as obscure and different from what its original intention was in the first place.

you could replace OP with anything and it'd work. "come to /tv/ , stack shelves with art house films, etc", "come to /g/, stack my thinkpad with linux, opposite sex just wants macbook", "come to /mu/ stack my record shelf with vaporwave/fotm, girls only want radio pop" you could do this for every board and your overall result will be leave 4chan if you want normal shit to happen

Why wouldn't SLP get you laid? Rick is pretty out there but some fits don't automatically put off normies. Yohji is okay in terms of weirdness

I have met some really interesting people because of what I wear. I have also met plenty of people who tell me that they thought my style was very strange when they first saw it, one of my friends even said my clothes looked like a costume. But if the people who think it is weird at first come around to it, or dgaf if it's weird you generally weed out the people who aren't open-minded. I met an actor from Stockholm, a few DJs, all of them really like my style and vice versa. It's common ground and people who dress well and differently are generally interesting.

I'll never understand why people dress up like fucking monks or buy all that high fashion shit. Even if you're super attractive, people are just going to think you're fucking weird. Nobody is going to want to talk to you. Nobody looks at you and thinks 'i respect that guy for being passionate about fashion'. People look at you and think you're fucking pathetic. And they're right too. You can be fashionable without socially alienating every person within a 30 meter radius of you.

>Dress like Harry Styles
>Have underage girls wanting my dick

Pretty basic tbh but I like it, I could never go back to wearing normal shit, I've reached a point where I don't even do it for attention, I just like fashion, couldn't care less if girls like what I'm wearing or not. It's kind of hard at the beginning though, going from wearing normal clothes to wearing women's jeans and cowboy boots with heels, I swear my parents think I'm gay lmao.

If you wear jeans that were actually designed for women, then yes, you are fucking gay and your parents have every right to loathe and resent you.

You have to balance "fashion" and not looking like a complete outcast though. Believe it or not there's a time when out there stuff like Rick is more acceptable. If you go to school at noon dressed like a full on rick autist, people are going to treat you like one
