Do you think there are some looks only certain races can usually pull off? If so, what kinds?

(Disclaimer: We're talking strictly about looks here. Don't turn this into a shitstorm of a conversation.)

>> No.7597982

A good half-black half-Hispanic friend of mind pulls off this pseudo-Rasta dreadlocks look like no other. I doubt anyone who isn't relatively dark-skinned could do it like he does.

Indeed it is

>> No.7598070

Nope, and lets just skip to the chase, whenever this comes up it's usually agreed that white people can wear everything, asian people can wear everything, and that it's just black people who can't wear certain looks, and the two extreme looks that first come to mind are WASP and Goth. Joshua Kissi and Karlo Steel respectively disprove this idea pretty swiftly. Also look into the sapeurs of Congo for proof that black people can wear pretty much anything and get away with it.

Clothing and fashion has nothing to do with race and everything to do with how you carry yourself.

how you pull off something has absolutely nothing to do with race, but rather your skin tone/confidence/geographic location

That second one might look good on a different skin color, but the way it plays off of his tone adds to it in my opinion. Of course, that's really the gist of it, you can do pretty much anything if you fit it to your skin and hair correctly.

We aren't talking about runway models though, we're talking about average, day to day people. And in that regard I find that black people typically have an easier time pulling off these slightly more eccentric styles.

I feel like it's more in the beards, honestly. If you're eccentric enough to grow out a crazy big beard and big glasses it's not too much of a stretch from there. Look at the dude with the ginger beard up there, he fits right in.

it helps that they are/have

1) skinny
2) beards
3) long-limbed/well proportioned
4) good posture/confidence

are you saying they are pulling those fits off just because they are black? because substitute Sam with someone who has all 4 but happens to be Asian/white/hispanic I guarantee they'd pull it off just as well

Brits, Irish, Danes, Germans and Icelanders look terrible wearing anything androgynous. Obviously there are a few exceptions, but guys from that part of Europe are generally quite solid and robust.

Norwegians, Swedes and Finns tend to be a bit thinner. They've got big men too, but they can pull off that feminine look a bit more.

As a black male I often feel like it's easier for white men to wear all black or darker tones, because of the natural contrast, e.g.: pale-skinned white man in a black or navy suit.

Sucks, because I really like wearing darker tones(monochrome).

Basically, what was said here >>7606716
It seems rare that a black individual can pull off goofninja styles due to lacking that sharp contrast. Though it's not entirely true, I think with more very light colored bases it could be done, it's just certainly takes a bit more thought.
