[QUOTE=Savaril;44222728]what is "fit you properly" and can you explain it to Yohji Yamamoto, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester and Rei Kawakubo please? [/QUOTE] i dont know who they are, but who cares, they are probably wrong i take it? [QUOTE=Savaril;44222728]you will realize how dumb you are in a few years when the "painted on workwear/bizcaz" trends have blown over, and GQ is telling you to buy boxy jackets and loose pants to make you look "powerful" and "relaxed" instead of the "sharp" and "timeless" buzz-words they use today. [/QUOTE] the only thing I own that's painted on were those blue super skinnies, which I don't wear anymore since I replaced them with a looser pair of levi's of the same colour I found. Still skinny, but not even close to that skinny. They fit. As opposed to baggy jeans. Which don't fit. Thinking baggy looks good can be your style, sure, but it looks terrible. People have been wearing slim fitting clothes for as long as people have been wearing baggy clothes. Sure, styles and trends change, but there will always be people who stick to their taste and who always know that slimmer fitting is the best looking. And the baggy clothes wearers have always been wrong. [QUOTE=Savaril;44222728]no. I don't wear loose jeans because they don't fit my style. I wear oversized tees and boxy shirts/outerwear because I like how they look. [/QUOTE] your style would be improved greatly if your clothes fit you. i know you like how the oversized things look. but dudes with neckbeards and cargo shorts like how that looks, too. [QUOTE=Savaril;44222728]Because my frame is small, with very little upper body mass and wide hips I pretty much have to wear looser tops to even out my proportions. This doesn't bother me because I like how drapey shirts look anyways, and I prefer my sleeves to end way past my wrist, partially covering just the tops of my hands. Trust me, I wore "properly fitting clothes" for ages and it looked terrible and didn't suit my physique. [/QUOTE] I have a small frame too, saved only by my sort of broad shoulders (and long ass neck (also my head is too small)). although your wide hips deal is weird. 'drapey' is a look that works on women and I do not think it looks good on men at all. i don't know if i buy the thing about it working better with your body shape. if you posted a picture of you wearing 'well fitting' clothes as a comparison maybe. [QUOTE=Savaril;44222728]If you want further evidence that "slimmer" isn't always better, go watch literally any Hedi Slimane collection- be it Dior or SLP, or whatever. Or just record yourself in movement and realize how awkward many of the "well-fitting" clothes you like can actually look. (hint: the answer is just as awkward as you think loose clothes look) [/QUOTE] look man, I don't do any fashion research. I'm not an expert on the matter. what I do know is what looks good. I think some people who are super into it get lost in the fine detail and latest trends lose track of that.

I explained this pretty thoroughly I thought, but I explicitly picked looser, boxier tees because of my physique/proportions. the end result being this sort of silhouette: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Zzk8NxY.png[/IMG] which is personally appealing to me, and a huge step up from "go slimmer" silhouetes like this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8Cx5G8c.png[/IMG] which is the kind of crap I wore when I thought clothes needed to "follow the lines of the body" How do you even deduce something like that? I can tell you, based on the cut of the shirts, that they were definitely meant to be worn loose. This is a silly argument anyways, because it insists that there's something wrong with wearing clothes in a way that wasn't intended. It was more than interesting enough for this thread. It's not something I would post on sufu, though.[/QUOTE] why do you hide your face anyway? it's harder to take you seriously when you don't even want to show people what you look like and clothing and faces tend to work in synergy. how your face looks can be the difference between looking great in an outfit and still looking weird in an outfit [editline]14th March 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Savaril;44228546]Funny, because I got called a hipster way more when I wore skintight tees and gigantic workboots. Apparently, streetwear = hipster, though. Good to know. (the only reason you think I look like a hipster is because I'm wearing a beanie, and because you are incredibly immature and probably have a very underdeveloped idea of clothing.) what a shitty opinion, it looks fucking terrible. The proportions are just completely retarded and it accentuates my hips like crazy. If you legitimately think it looks good, I feel very sorry for you.[/QUOTE] as far as things go, hipster is much better than street wear [editline]14th March 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Savaril;44228633] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UggPMUc.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE] either you're packin some weird kevlar or the shirt still has store-fold creases. gotta iron your shirts

You don't seem to actually know anything about clothes, other than some terrible advice regarding fit that you likely picked up from an infographic on Dappered or some other terrible blog website.

I visit many other fashion forums and regularly speak with a lot of people who are very knowledgeable about fashion. I have a girlfriend. I have friends who are girls. I have relatives. They have all told me that the drapier tees look much better on me. Even if that wasn't the case, it's all relevant, because I like how the drapey tees look on me. [QUOTE=Rusty100;44231887]why do you hide your face anyway? it's harder to take you seriously when you don't even want to show people what you look like[/QUOTE] Because it's about the clothing, not my fucking face.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;44231887]as far as things go, hipster is much better than street wear[/QUOTE] "things i dont like are objectively bad please stop enjoying them" Rusty, it's not your job to police people's fashion choices or try to dictate what objectively "looks good" or "fits well." And frankly, you don't have the knowledge to do any of that anyways.
Probably shouldn't go on about objectivity too much Sav [QUOTE=Savaril;44228546] what a shitty opinion, it looks fucking terrible. If you legitimately think it looks good, I feel very sorry for you.[/QUOTE] [editline]14th March 2014[/editline] hell you could be rusty's long lost half brother

It looks very bad. I had people tell me it looks really bad, in-person. It accentuated the worst parts of my physique, and just was not flattering to my body. I don't hate skinny clothes or think that they objectively look bad (quite the opposite, which is why I wear skinny jeans and a skinny denim trucker). Rusty hates baggy clothes and thinks that they objectively look bad. That's the difference. But a lot of people, Rusty included, are blinded by current trends (which lean towards incredibly slim-fitting clothes and hilariously misguided and just factually wrong ideas that well-dressed men have ALWAYS worn "slim-fit" clothes) and seem to think that anything else is [I]wrong,[/I] and that as long as clothes are "slim-fit", they look better than clothes that are loose- which is a complete and total farce, perpetuated by shitty infographics, blog sites and magazines like GQ. fix up look sharp v.

"stop wearing what I don't like"[/QUOTE] Seems you're reading too much into it. I don't think anybody here actively sticks to one style for the sake of said style (i.e skinny clothing), I think they just prefer it because it fits their body frame best. Any and all styles are surely welcome as long as you pull them off nicely without being overly flashy, overly 'edgy', or generally lean too heavily into any particular subculturural clothing. For example hipster articles of clothing are, as a uniform and as a whole, pretty ridiculous. But if you take small bits of hipster clothing and combine them with something else and pull it off nicely, I don't think anybody will care too much or say it looks awful. Even baggy clothing can look good if you actually pull it off decently. The trick is being able to combine colors with clothes that fit you best and look proper, that's all. The rest is of course down to pure individual taste and geographical location. There is no need to be upset.

yes i am quite lazy sometimes. there's less of an incentive to shave when all i'm doing for a few days in a row is going to work in a kitchen and not much else. i'll start shaving and be like 'wait who am i even shaving for a bunch of rowdy bearded chefs who dont give a dang??'
i don't really get the thing behind dressing/shaving for somebody else like am I the only one who takes care of his appearance so that he can look into a mirror and feel good about himself??
[QUOTE=NotMeh;44234517]i don't really get the thing behind dressing/shaving for somebody else.[/QUOTE] Some of the work branches may require it, because self-representation is important. But that's probably not what you meant. On the topic of shaving, fuck it. Can't even grow a full-beard, so I have to shave regularly or else I look creepy (more than usual).
[QUOTE=NotMeh;44234517]i don't really get the thing behind dressing/shaving for somebody else like am I the only one who takes care of his appearance so that he can look into a mirror and feel good about himself??[/QUOTE] Well, if you don't respect yourself it only naturally follows that nobody is gonna respect you.
...what
i dont understand whats so complicated about that sentence
me not dressing exclusively for the sake of other people somehow means i don't respect myself ??
