Hey so I notice this board has a lot of avant garde stuff. Can we get like a college type thread going. Right now all I got is basic plain T's, few henleys, some jeans, white chucks and clarks. Im not looking for that experimental stuff that you see literally no one on the streets or at school wearing. Just want some help with clean, simple fits. Preferably fits that wont break my wallet.

So I ask. What are some good looking, simple fits, that don't cost and arm and a leg. And where to cop?

OP, I know what you mean, I'm not a fan of the avant garde stuff either. However, you also want to avoid looking like from faggot in Zumiez and shit, and you need to make sure you don't dress full on "dadcore" (which is distinct from menswear). You should work on mastering the art of the mountain man

>selvedged denim obviously
>sweet boots (and we're not talking about just Clarks DB's)
>flannels, gingham, plaid shirts, henleys, etc
>grow a beard
>get a watch (leather strap, and preferably not a weekender)
>start smoking (Lucky's, Camel unfiltered, pipe?)
Oh, and you should probably get a dog.

If you're looking for cheaper stuff...
>L.L. Bean
>Uniqlo (OCBD's, some plaid/gingham shirts, etc)
>Levi's for cheaper demin, unbranded for a little nicer)
>Redwings for boots
If you don't want to spend that much (though I don't think they're particularly expensive), you can also check out the Johnston & Murphy Chukka's for a little "beefier" version of a boot similar to DB's (I think the only difference between desert boots and chukka's are the eyelets, but I could be wrong).

Why do you "hate" dadcore/menswear/mfa/prep so much?

It's such a contradiction that /fa HATES looking like everyone else... yet there is a monolithic narrative - fucking black skinny clothing. I love the looks /fa is geared towards, but I don't understand why we can't appreciate fashion as not being a black/white binary (this joke is 2deep), and being a diverse form of expression?

For fashion, fashions is always changing my dear friend, the look you are describing is simple and not really new. The point of this board is to discuss high fashion. It's not really changing because there is not a single designer/brand out there that is bringing anything new to this style.

Also disregard this tripster >>7567298

I respect that you choose to follow that style OP, and like I said, it's best to go to mfa and just follow their guides. That's my advice to you

They're just obsessed with being trendy and cool. There isn't anything wrong with menswear, and it's not going to go out of style because it is literally the basic style to dress.

Yea, I'm trying because I had the same problem when I first started really going on /fa/ and it was at like the dying end of everyone wearing Clarks DB's and then now everyone's "blah blah dadcore, faggot, are you 50? lel" and shit. It's fashion, and I agree it belongs here, but there are too many obnoxious kids who need to be edgy and dress in 3deep5you clothes.

I can see finding it boring, however (at least at my age) most people dress like shit and all you have to do to stand out and look good is put together a coherent outfit. I do find it a little ironic how (maybe not you, I don't know what style you prefer) gothninja foobers call menswear boring when they lack color, different textures, etc. I find the whole goof ninja/avant garde stuff to be excruciatingly boring honestly, sure it's newer, but it's a hell of a lot less interesting.

Are you seriously going to let them win by dropping it because they touched it? Fucking pathetic, m8.

>> No.7567566

Find a nice thrift store, it makes it easier if it isn't an open donation place like goodwill but an exchange. There is this store near me that only carries shit that people try to exchange for store credit, and if its a shit looking piece of clothing or a bad brand its turned down. Of course what would be 2$ at goodwill becomes 15$, but even then its not bad when list could be over 100.

so you don't think there are other people who dress like this? Then why is there a board? I see plenty of people in my city dressing in techwear, moderate goth ninja, japanese street and even workwear (confused with dadcore/mfa-style). You're trying to fit in rather than finding yourself/niche.

i don't confine myself to one style, but i don't mix and match rly

if i have to go to a family event or wedding or something then i dress #menswear

if i'm goin out to a party or bar or w/e then it's mostly basic shit/streetwear

if goin shopping or hanging out w/ friends then i tend to pull out the goof and moon because they appreciate that kinda stuff


btw gothninja actually has a lot of variation, even within just rick. ppl just tend to post the same shit over and over again tho because it's hte most common and affordable pieces

I give up. You can even look to linguistics and see that meanings change, the archaic doesn't matter in the current. Ok you win m8, I'll go back to /b/ b/c you think everything is in a vacuum and that current circumstances shouldn't change attitudes (ie; chinos ok to wear outside of military, things becoming outdated and coming to represent a new culture (think docs shifting away from skinheads, converse shifting away from basketball, memes becoming representative of a board different from the original)). Your "muh board pride" is much more /b/ though

Depending where you live thrift/second shops can be nice. Maybe not like a goodwill but second hand shops, clothing boutiques, can be really good. Target, sale areas of Macys Dillards, Cotton is cheap as shit, Gap (do cool stuff with GQ in fall) and be creative where you go. A certain store might be crap but look through their stuff and you might be able to cop a nice basic tee that can be dressed up. Wear stuff that you may question wearing. Button ups always look good and can be mixed well with layers, even get some with crazy patterns and have the balls to wear them no matter other people. I have some nice slim jeans, dark (blue, black,khaki, subtle colors), also look for well fitted pants and chinos, shorts are a must as well not long. Shoes, I dont tend to settle, would buy my stuff at Macys, though just copped some nice hush puppies and Dr. Martins at TJ Max and those places for 20$. I dont have pictures but ger inspired by the pricey stuff and find things that look similar for cheaper. it takes time but get creative, explore stores you may not want to for those gems, and slowly build it.
