Menswear is something you grow IN TO and not OUT OF.

What happened is a bunch of teenagers got into it too early. So you think you " outgrew it " when, in fact, you simply got into it too early, and fail to realize it is your final form.

It's like sex. You got ass fucked when you were 10, should have waited till you were 20. Now it left a bad taste in your mouth, but that's because you jumped in too soon.

You guys look so cringful in all black and dropped crotch, I try not to laugh while I walk past, because I know your all self conscious .

Yeah I dress " dadcore " . Sim fit wool pants, with cap toe oxfords or wingtips-belts to match both.With a slim fit button up and depending on the day, matching blazer or vest. Sure doesn't feel dadcore when women are breaking their necks and constantly blush when I talk to them.

Some of us are actually men, with professional careers. Not students who walk around trying to look trendy.

You sound like a complete ass-hat. Part of the appeal of dadcore is the fact that it is way more mature and time-tested than the rest of the "cores" here, and your attitude should reflect that.

I dress dadcore, have for a couple years now, like it very much and have sunk quite a bit of money into my wardrobe. Does it mean I like to get in the face of someone who dons their gothninja fit everyday? Fuck no, his style is his own business and if he pulls it off, good for him.

You sound like one of those passive-aggressive menswear freaks down at mfa. They may act all nice and charming, but you can see the bottled rage and inadequacy lying beneath their posts. And every once in a while they put their real feelings to pixels, as you clearly have here. Which makes you just as pathetic as them.

I agree.

Aesthetics is the art of projecting your ethics into the exterior, and the key component is integrity.

You can't portray a serious, elegant, self-sufficient image if you are not serious, elegant and self-sufficient. You can only fake for so long. So being dad core while young is hard... and most guys can't pull it off.

The most similar styles that young dad-core aspirants can portray without looking incongruent, or fake, or weird, are:
-Boarding school-core
-Light boarding school-core (white polos, grey/brown pants, blue pullovers...)
-Conservative entrepreneur core. My style. Whereas Silicon Valley geeks dress with jeans and black shirts, a real entrepreneur which is not a manbaby but he's still young and not qualified for dad core yet, can dress this way

Basically what I've taken away from /fa/ is to ditch the baggy ass, light blue walmart levi's and get the darkest, sturdiest wash of 511's. I just wear those or khaki just-above-the-knee shorts, with a slim fitting t shirt or a couple nice button ups from Brooks Brothers or J Crew.

Just by wearing slim fitting jeans I'm already ahead of most people I see. I'm not really that interested in fashion, I just don't want to look like a total pleb while being comfortable and convenient in simple clothes that aren't too expensive and look good.

If you're going down the preppy route;

-polo (Ralph Lauren, Lyle&Scott) in a normal colour OR plain, well-fitted t-shirt (black, white , grey)
-decent chinos or jeans
-decent desert boots

Its all about the quality of how things are done and their appropriateness instead of direction. You could wear a great bespoke suit to uni but you'll look like a complete dickhead because its not appropriate. Inversely, you could wear a shit black suit to a black-tie ball and look like a complete dickhead because the quality is bad.
