Does anyone ever compliment you on your fits? Friends? Strangers?

>> No.12669991

I like to wear flashy sneakers, and that draws a bit of attention. If they're not complimenting me about them, they're probably looking at them. It's the second thing I get the most compliments on, aside from my hair.

Two drunk guiris once came up to me outside a punk gig and complimented me on the skinhead look and we chatted in a mix of english and drunken dumbed-down tourist-tier spanish for a while about the local scene.

yes, unless you are irredeemably ugly, you will get compliments from people quite often. i used to think that this was the world's way of telling me i was fashionable but i've come to realize that some people are just 'fake' nice or those compliments may come from tasteless idiots. i think a lot of /fa/ has experiences like this and think they are model potential but just try and be real guys

Yes, I get compliments on my fits on a regular basis from coworkers and underlings at work... but never for wearing anything effay.

Where I work, most people dress extremely casually, so when I show up wearing more professional attire (careful not to be overdressed either) I stand out just the right amount, and this is actually very helpful in my job.

I used to get compliments from a gay co-worker at my old job.
Also I got complemented on some hi-top all white chucks by some chicks once, I think it's because most guys in my area are hypebeasts who only wear nike,jordan,adidas,etc so anything else is different.
I also wore palewave for a while and that would get me compliments from some friends.

Seems to be a common occurrence in workplaces from what I've seen.
I had a teacher that put some effort into his dressing and he was always complemented by everyone.

Yes, but i get more compliments about my hair. Once i was kind of sad and angry after a very weak date and this woman just came to me and told me something along the line of "You have very beautfiul hair, that's all i wanted to say" and then went back to her friends and it was sweet as fuck, thank you random woman

>> No.12670583

it's laughably easy to get compliments, you just have to know what style normies think looks good
you'll never stand out with solid basic fitting fits, i.e expensive basic items like acne unless it's a shirt or sweatshirt with a screen print
also they tend to not respect some more experimental clothing like a jinbei, or a weird cut of a top or bottom
i've found that dressing hedi slp will always get compliments, people will think you're dressing for an occasion and comment on chelsea boots

Wimmin here. Wimmin to wimmin do not compliment each other much and I dont really get close to men so I dont really get much compliments. If they do compliment you and you're also a woman, high chance they need something from you or they're just being plastic. That is so common on the workplace. But really, they dont want to give compliments unless they're really close with the person they're complimenting. It is competition everytime and if they're not paying attention to their looks/hygiene, you'll hear "I'm only a simple woman. I don't need to do much to my looks" as a brag/excuse why they look so unkempt. I mean yeah, that'll work if you're already good looking, but if you look like Shrek then i dont know...
I get lots of surprise suitors tho. One time I was talking to a female colleague, her tounge slipped and she told me I'm a "fuccgirl". I asked her what a "fuccgirl" is and she said it's like "fuccboi" or a "man dressing to attract and fuck women". I only dress like pic related

Blended merino wool and angora scarf.

Got it during my Christmas vacation on Boxing Day so it was incredibly affordable given the fact it was sweltering hot but it was freezing cold where I was going back.

It was recommended by passerby customer, a very spunky old lady who reminded me of my late grandma. The kind of old woman who looks like she'd still be running marathons and would sass you if you didn't bless the food before eating. We only spoke briefly but I still think about her from time to time

I have a Winnie Pooh print t-shirt that literally EVERYONE compliments me on. I have it for 3 years now and every time I wear it, people comment positively on it, especially young women.

The only other person that ever complimented me on my clothes was a spoiled little brat in university. She only wears YSL clothes and all that crap and lives with her parents in a villa. She complimented my ramones. I think it's just because she knows who Rick is and made the association Rick = expensive = good.

PRO-TIP: 99% of all people don't care or don't even pay attention to what you're wearing. They only see the initial silhouette and that's it.

I've gotten a lot of compliments but it's usually not on the stuff I want to get compliments on

For example I've gotten tonnes of compliments on my Off-White hoodie that to me is just a cool hoodie I picked up at Milan Expo (didn't know about Off-White).
Or I was wearing the Gosha scarves sweater out on the street and some guy just screams "Hey, is that Gosha!" From the other side of the street. I'm pretty sure he wasn't being ironic cause he was fitted in streetwear

Meanwhile I only rarely get compliments on Haider or Ann D fits that actually take time for me to put together and think about

>> No.12672551

Random guy took a photo of me couple of days ago. Thought I was not watching, but that is quite obvious with a DSLR... Not sure it was because of the fit though. But otherwise I wouldn't know why. Or maybe he was just desperate and wanted a photo of any breathing female human being.

Women do compliment each other. Every time I go out I get compliments from women, also on my clothing a lot. And I don't think all of these are all by accident hitting on me or something, because I look like shit. I think they just compliment me because I wear whatever I want now, so I might look a bit different and apparently many people tend to prefer that.

You can usually tell which it is, if they linger or not after they compliment you. It's the safest way for someone to cold approach a stranger. I've come across some women though that are real cunts about it, saying that they dress the way they do for themselves and not for someone else's (a guy's) approval.
