Sup /fa/?
First time posting here, started a thread on /b/ >>>/b/533089440 and someone linked me here.

Long story short, just bought a pair of sneaks, anon said the downside is I might look like a tryhard..

I need to buy some jeans, currently have one black and light blue slim fitted J&J jeans, what should I buy.

>pic related, bought them yesterday
>70$ -bargain

They're Lacoste. They're $70. They have obnoxious branding.

have it, basically bought them because they were 50% off.. woman like logic, I know.. but didn't really find anything else remotely good in that price range..

[Anonymous No.7807552]

Those shoes are really terrible OP, I'm sorry.
The fact is, you will keep buying terrible items unless you really want to spend a bit of time thinking about the way clothes look.
You'll also need to remove words like "faggy" and "manly" from your vocabulary, these are blocks to really thinking about the way things look in a pure way. Spend time looking at outfits on the internet and look at everyone in real life. What do you like? What don't you like? Why?

There's no shortcut to "a good pair of shoes". This is like getting your mum to shop for you, it's never going to look right. That being said, there are some pairs that are generally accepted to be simple, clean, tasteful and versatile. Check out Common Projects, Nike Air Force 1, Dr Martens 1461, German Army Trainers, Adidas Samba, Clarks Desert Boots...

How do you want to look? It would really help if you posted a full-body outfit shot. People might rip you apart but if you can deal with that you might be able to improve yourself a lot, if you want.

[Anonymous No.7807607]

Well bought them mostly because of the brand and because they were on sale... looked relatively appealing... clean and all that...

>Well bought them mostly because of the brand and because they were on sale... looked relatively appealing... clean and all that...
You shouldn't ever buy anything for the brand. Especially cheap brands like Lacoste/Polo where the quality and design is very poor. I know to you it might look slightly upmarket, but the logo makes you look poorer than if you were wearing vans or converse. They aren't clean either, they have very loud branding and details that they don't need.

If you wanna look decent asap buy some black skinny jeans, nice sneakers and wear plain tops in tasteful colours. That red looks pretty whack. Just spend a lot of time on /fa/ looking at clothes. It will take time to really start "seeing".

Didn't come here before because when the word fashion sprang to mind I'd picture the fags I see at my uni, wearing all pink with incredibly tight jeans and LV 'man-purse'...

I'm not a fashion kinda guy, I like to dress casually and good, not to be up-to-date with trends..

As a rather offtopic question, I use paco rabanne 1 million, is that off by /fa/ standards aswell?

>>7807783
i know that you silly sausage
but it's offensive to gay people to use a word that primarily means gay to describe someone you feel hatred for, especially when it's due to them having perceived feminine characteristics so it's not even fully removed from any relation to being gay
why do you say stuff that doesn't make sense, are you just pretending to be dumb

Just saw a thread about all blacks...
Used to dress that way.. dark colors as I said I recently picked on more colors.. is it goth-like or relatively okay? Like most of my shirts/polos/hoodies etc. are black or close to black, logos as small as possible if not nonexistant. What's your take on this, /fa/? Thought it was too depressing..

I.e. wearing some black/blue jeans, a pair of chucks and a simple ironed v-neck (the lowest kind of one, not deep ones, not even remotely deep) and maybe a watch. Is that too much of a 'dark' image?

I'm the anon that sent you here OP. Don't think it's the worst thing in he world to say fag, and and these people are being rude because of your "I'm new here" kind of tone and oversimplification of things. Listen to the people that are giving advice and lurk some more. Also don't think you need to buy $400 plain white shoes to look nice.
Basically, lurk more.

maaate that's atrocious, i can't tell if you're winding me up
firstly, polos are straight up ugly almost all of the time. there is no situation where a t-shirt or casual long-sleeve shirt wouldn't be better.
secondly, that particular polo has a bunch of really really disgusting details that make it look like you picked it up from sports direct for £3.99 in one of their endless sales.
i'm picturing you wearing that with those lacoste trainers and you'll look like an actual chav, even though i thought they had kind of stopped existing. no offence but are you very very poor?
i'm sorry to be a dick i'm just trying to be honest, it's one of the ugliest items of clothing i've seen in my life.

[Anonymous No.7808189]

>>7808152
I posted the first result from google.
Nope I'm not a chav, but since when the fuck are polos shit? It's just new to me..
And what fucking details are you talking about, it's a polo, it's black etc.

I have a few polos because they're simple, fitting and casual.

I'm really not familiar with these but it's like fedora e-cig threads.. give me an alternative, and no 600$/shirt ones, reasonable ones.

[Anonymous No.7808539]

Not necessarily. Some people will even argue high tops looks better with non jeans pants.

Lacoste shoes are bad because the branding is usually obnoxious, the quality is poor (no stitched sole, meh leather, thin soles etc) Trust me I've owned quite a few pairs of Lacoste sneakers in the past and I wish I had known they didn't look good and weren't great quality.

Browsing through this thread a lot of sensible advice has been given to you (ignore the retards who praise the low cost brands you've been telling us you're used to buying).

Don't think dressing better will cost you more, it won't : a brand like Uniqlo makes fine basic clothes for much cheaper than most lacoste/puma shit out there. Again, I know what I'm talking about, I've been there.


What you need OP is to lurk here, or any other "fashion" site and educate your taste, get a fresh look on things. After a while you won't even remember why you ever thought those lacoste shoes or that puma polo looked any good. You need to do this, to achieve a decent grasp for basics, which is easy enough to do if you keep at it.

pic related : a very, very basic fit, but everything fits, no logos everywhere, and it looks good.

>>7808229
Lacoste is always completely chav, there's no justification. Same with polos with logos. If you hate them why wouldn't you just buy plain ones?

Nike is good because the design is fantastic. Lacoste is just £7 plimsolls with an ugly logo stitched on.

[OP No.7811721]

>>7808539
Thanks a lot.. I'll post more later on.. It's just that, I've always bought brands because of quality this after I've bought several pieces of clothing/shoes which ended up in the bin not too long after..

>>7810568
Have some plain ones at home, too. But didn't find any worth buying.. those 2 with the logos were on sale or something like that..

I don't buy clothes to be/seem "chav" hence why I choose the cleanest ones/smallest logos etc.

Thanks for your replies, "chavs" here wear fake/real(doubt) D&G, LV, Armani and top brands, so Lacoste is seriously out of the question..
