Hey /fa/
This girl I like is returning from Sweden and I receive this text. (PIC RELATED) So I decided I need to brush up on my style but I need help. I am a rather large dude, not fat, but bulky. She explained to me she likes "Americana" stuff and how the right pair of shoes can make any outfit good and stuff. I just need some help. My hearts racing and she comes back this Thursday! I will post a picture of me within the next post. Thanks in advance!

Also, by "Americana" she probably means workwear or something. Sneakers don't fit into that, get some red wings, some decent denim, and a few button downs from Everlane or Club Monaco, since you're not looking to spend much.

If you want to get a little more interesting, you could go to Rakuten and see if they have some white mountaineering or visvim BDs you like.

If you wear shorts, don't wear socks, unless you're going for the ten year old look.

For shorts, avoid baggy cargo shorts, you want shorts that actually fit. /fa/ might have some pics to show you, but I don't because I don't like shorts. If you get pants, just go for navy blue skinnies, cheap monday is probably your best bet, higher quality than shit like levis, but at a similar price. Better fit too. Then just go for a button down, make sure it fits though, don't like it hang over you like a tent, and if you decide to tuck it in, wear a belt, THAT MATCHES YOUR SHOES. UNLESS, the shoes are white, never wear a white belt, unless you want to look like an absolute tool, if the shoes are white, don't bother tucking it in.

BDs from Club Monaco, Everlane, or Uniqlo are good bets, they're all decent quality at a lower price. Everlane makes some shit in the US, whereas the other two do them in sweatshops. So that's something to consider, if you're into that sort of thing.

She's not actually into "Americana," she's into American Apparel lookbooks and tumblr inspo. Wear flannels in classic schemes such as buffalo check and blackwatch in the winter with waxed jackets, chore coats, parkas, and dark indigo jeans and chinos in beige, brown, or dark olive. In the summer, wear camp mocs with chino shorts that a bit above your knee, button up shirts with rolled up sleeves and/or plain t shirts in inoffensive colors. Uniqlo has most of the clothes. LL Bean makes cheap decent camp mocs and Red Wing makes cheap decent boots (specifically the Iron Rangers.) This is the MFA uniform so some people from /fa/ might make fun of you if they see you on the street but girls will mire it and that's what fashion's really for.

Given that you're on a budget and don't have a clue what you're doing, most of /fa/'s advice will be largely meaningless to you. The kind of stuff posted on here, while interesting (and certainly something you should lurk here for) is not what you're looking for and will not suit you

What you want are cheap, simple, mid-low tier clothes that will suit and fit a larger frame

With that in mind, go down to your H&M and buy two white crew neck t shirts (that's the round neck) in 100% cotton. Buy them in a size that its you (probably medium - the lines on the shoulders should line up with the point of you shoulders, the rest of the fit is secondary to that)

Then while you're there, look for either a plain blue oxford cloth button down if you're planning on going on a date with her, or a checked flannel shirt if you want something more casual. Read the sticky for more information on these - just remember the shoulder lines should fit the point of your shoulders and the sleeves should be just slightly past your wrist - feel free to roll the sleeves up though

If you then want to get some shoes, bear in mind that you really won't get anything very good for the price you've set. Ideally some boots would fit the 'look' you want, but whatever you decide on post it in a cop or not thread here first so we can weed out anything disgustingly horrific

If you want to wear jeans, stick with something slim (NOT skinny) and straight, like pic related

Basically the theme of your outfit should be to play down your relative lack of /fa/ knowledge so she can focus on you rather than be put off by your clothes

if you want to dress for yourself and have your own image, lurk

you will buy things you dont like. mistakes are ok, you will slowly figure out what looks good on you

but if you want to dress 'stylish' just to get this girl buy whatever you want.

ps. clothes wont get you this girl

Make the girl interested in you, because in her world every guy is interested in her and you don't see her with just every guy.
I've never had success with girls who I gave too much attention to, even the ugly and really lame ones. The prettiest and most interesting ladies, who I figured I didn't have a chance with so I didn't care about the outcome of our interactions, I got to date/have sex with. Because I had better things to do than give them more attention than necessary.
(Of course, when I fall in love with them is when they break up with me, that's how their game is played)
