Styling options for a wardrobe verging on preppy dadcore

[Anonymous No.5991100]

Hey /fa/,
I have a fairly good wardrobe that I'm happy with, the only issue is that it marginally reads too formal/dadcore at times.

It's alot of casual button down shirts and above the knee shorts in plaides of different color palettes. I have salmon colored shorts too, and a ton of dress shirts that I wear with sleeves rolled up.

Also I have this really shitty black vest hoodie from h&m.

So like, what should I do to add 'edge'. I dig punk styles if that helps, but I know that can go full autist fast. So what do you suggest?

tl;dr
For a wardrobe that is verging on 'dadcore' what shit can do to give 'edge'

pic related, I don't want to look like this

stop dressing dadcore
start dressing hardcore

[uuuuhhhh No.5991115]

try more fashion oriented preppy inspired brands
thom browne
black fleece
apc
patrik ervell
band of outsiders
gitman vintage
this might sounds a bit silly but I think dries van noten could be integrated really well

varvatos isn't hardcore

[Anonymous No.5991199]

>>5991137

Nope. If you're doing rocker chic, old Dior and Number(N)ine are better reference points. Varvatos works on tropes, not real ideas.

It's p edgy for most people. You won't look full autist.

[Anonymous No.5991247]

What about general shit? Like rolling up sleeves? watches? Non try-hard necklaces? Combinations clothing? And what are a small amount of pieces that, if bought, would update a wardrobe verging on dadcore?

[Anonymous No.5991258]

Don't buy pastels anymore. Wear neutral colors like brown, navy, beige, black. That's a start

[twerk it No.5991263]

>>5991247
throw out everything you hate in your wardrobe and from now on only buy clothes you like
unless you like john varvatos if that's the case save your money until you develop taste

[Anonymous No.5991268]

Its funny that what is now being looked down upon and called Dadcore is what /fa/ used to preach and swear by.
When did this all Black Raff Simmons, Rick Owns stuff takeover?

Some guy claims he spammed the word dadcore for a month, day and night. He is obviously a lame though, since he always tries to take credit for it even though he's anonymous on an anonymous image board.

those people are not hardcore

Fall '07 is one of my favorite. I only own one piece from it and I've always wanted to have more.

i was experimenting with felting wool onto leather once, didn't get very far. i think it might work on suede, or on rick's blistered tho.

Walking around all spring and summer in a black jacket or pants over wearing a pair of Chubbies or a button down w/ a beau

Also if I saw that guy on the bench I would assume he was homeless.

[twerk it No.5992367]

>>5992342
probably because he is homeless

I suppose that the picture wasn't trying to prove a point then? In all seriousness though, how late into your life do you think you wear stuff like what is pictured above? Then again I like "dadcore" shit, so what do I know?

get a nice leather jacket. Some sort of black jacket.

idk, guess we'll see when rick and michele stop wearing it

[Anonymous No.5992464]

>>5992407
Is his outfit supposed to be serious? I can't tell. Why has it come to a point where men have to wear a skirt or jeans that split at the knees on a runway to be considered fashion forward? What happened to wearing a shirt and khakis. Hell I know guys who wear suits everyday. I just don't understand why male fashion has become so effeminate.

[Anonymous No.5992476]

actually, its the opposite, feminine clothing is becoming more masculine.

[alex No.5992483]

>>5992464
explain to me why you think a skirt can only be feminine.

you are only examining a very early history of fashion

dandyism has existed for a long time, and was practiced by very macho guys, i don't know what you're talking about when you're talking about this like it's a new phenomenon

Weren't skirts invented by the scots??? the most manly men of humans?

also look at the portraits of guys throughout history. I bet most of them look more effeminate than most of the guys today.

[Anonymous No.5992600]

>>5992504
You say that like being a dandy is exclusive to feminine styles, when it is just an extreme care of outward appearance.
>>5992493
What history is that?
>>5992483
I'm sure I could be argued against here that there are freedom of movement benefits and whatnot, but aside from Scotland and the like, in what modern societies are skirts a non-feminine clothing article outside of cross-dressing communities?
>>5992476
Please show me examples other than women in pants. Then go and look at any thread on /fa/ with pictures of guys on a runway.

[alex No.5992597]

>>5992565
haha that's what i was trying to reference to in my post

would hakamas and shit like that and the armor skirts (kusaziri or something) count as skirts as well?

the only reason you don't think women wearing pants is weird is because coco chanel legitimized it in the 1920s.

[Natalie Portman !Nat9xVTTmU No.5992633]

>>5992600
that in the scope of the human race and how long we've been wearing clothes, pants are pretty new.
skirts and draping ahve always been unisex. look at all the ancient civilizations of the world.

[twerk it No.5992690]

>>5992633
euripides and aristophanes both use trousers as a point of derision towards barbarians

"But with the help of the gods we pushed the bastards back and we saw Athena’s loving bird the owl flying over our men. And then we chased them away, digging our sharp stingers into their baggy pants and as they were fleeing we stung them on the jaws and on their eyebrows."

fuck I mean, the greeks actually use to have open homosexual relationships WAY more than we do now.


Wasn't it normal during the Greek ages for rich men to have young boy sex slaves???

most mythologies include homoeroticism. transvestism and transsexualism are also fairly common.

yes, but wouldnt you agree that drapey, skirt-like garments were pretty dominant?
