Why don't girls carry around parasols anymore? Last time I checked, it was still sunny as fuck in many parts of the world.

>> No.2636947

Because girls are more concerned about looking like a slut than looking refined and cultured.

Pale asian girls can be attractive, so I'll give her that. It would be delightful for her to get a dark boyfriend. In fact, I think she will in a couple years, if only to break against the family repression. You know how teenage girls get.

Actually, the most common complaint I see among females when I question them about what happened to skirts was that they believed they didn't have legs good enough for skirts. Seems the titillating exposure of ankle and calf is better than zettai ryouki when performed in the correct manner. And most women just lack the confidence to pull it off.

No, they are not ...its hard to trip on your pants but its possible on a long skirt (I even seen it), also pants are unlikely to get caught up and rip without the people wearing it notice.

Also there is the wind, if the idea is hidding the legs a sudden gust of wind is going to end it, pants on the other hand are not even going to allow a "upskirt".

The top hat and monocle bit was a joke but the principle still stands. For my entire freshman year I had a wardrobe with two pin striped pants suspenders and a couple vests. It's amazing how casual you can get with those and still look awesome. I stopped when it go freakishly hot. I live in Texas and the place gets like hell in the summer so I only dress that way during the winter/fall.

I'm anything but MR. COOL, but even I know that fedoras in this day and age are pretty much the epitome of social retardation. Nobody has ever pulled it off. Nobody. You'll just get laughed at. It's not even my opinion. It's just how society works today.

I hate you for making me brought this up.
Justin Timberlake did it right. There.
Of course a fedora is not fit for everyone, but it's a step up from not being socially retarded as you put it and simply go with the current flow of skinny jeans.
Motherfucking skinny jeans and converse shoes.

Anyway, it can be done, but it depends on facial structure. Read this for starters

I say that if it makes you look good and feel good, it's more than right. Current society my ass.

I've noticed that too. /jp/ is pretty conservative in terms of fashion. We like frilly dresses, evening gowns, parasols etc. and for men we like suits, hats, ties, overcoats and what not. I wonder how we got like this...maybe this is just an aspect of our rejection of modern society? We can't fit into modern society to we yearn for the good old days.

Good enough reason. I'd add that being so self critical is part of that, along with the perspective that being outside the regular comings and goings of people brings.
It's hard to notice how horrible everyday fashion has become when you're hip deep in it.

I thought hipster attitude was "I hate the mainstream and don't want to be a conformist so I'll wear old fashions because I'll be better than everyone else". Seems like /jp/ anons genuinely like the older fashions.

>> No.2638163

Imprinting, perhaps. I've probably experience 'old fashion' a lot more than 'new fashion' because of the things I did when I was little. I watched and read quite a bit of period pieces growing up. Add that with the novelty value and presto!

I honestly wish it were socially acceptable, even required, to wear a hat like it was a century ago. Though if you really want to be classy and social these days, it seems like a shirt and jacket without a tie is the thing.

Actually, it's kind of the same with me. I blame it on my mother taking me to The Nutcracker when I was very young and getting me hooked on Tchaikovsky and other music written by guys who've been rotting in the ground for a long time.

Hmm, yeah, it's a shame it's not socially acceptable to indulge in odd fashion penchants. I'd love to see the unusual outfits people wear.

I can see it now: a street filled with people wearing outfits from every era and country, going about their daily lives like it's nothing. TIME WAAARP

>You weren't even alive during those times so I can't help but think that your views of the "glory days" of feminine beauty might be just slightly unrealistic and idealized.

Why must one had to have been alive in those times to still appreciate it? We have movies, internet etc that make it readily available. Go look at late 50's and 60's era playboy playmates (inb4 3D pig disgusting etc). Go look up what is usually referred to as "vintage women" They look more feminine than today's women.

Because a selective representation isn't enough to accurately judge the time period. It's like thinking everyone alive during the Enlightenment was a genius because you read the writings from the philosophers and scientists of the time.

If anyone does a Touhou anime, it MUST be Gonzo, for this reason alone.

They should also do a Tsukihime anime.

>> No.2639214

I guess part of the reason why I like Touhou is because of the extraordinary clothes.

I've always had a light tendency towards more "frilly" clothes, my whole family thinks I'm a bit strange in that department. But, yeah, I'd love to see if girls were to wear more of these old fashion stuff, still it has to come naturally. It would have to be a reflection of your inner self.

My mom used to wear hats and I always stole it from her to wear them myself. I liked it.
