Fix Up! Look Sharp v11: "there's like 8 of us here" - General

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;50078570]same principle. lame, "quirky" pop culture joke. if that's what you want go ahead, but it's as basic as it gets[/QUOTE] I mean it's similar, I guess, but I wouldn't shove them next to each other and say "they're the same thing." Like I'm not going to wear it around thinking "i'm so fashionable, wow, it's amazing," but seeing someone wear it won't make me think they have no taste, it'd just be alright. [editline]6th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Zukriuchen;50080245]think about why you're against "wearing ads" but not against wearing a big sign that basically says "look at how WACKY i am everyone haha" [editline]6th April 2016[/editline] they're gimmicky. they're immature. they're lazy. they're going to make plenty of people above 25 wonder why you're wearing something from the kid's section. and even if you disregard all that, they're only going to make people laugh (or cringe) once so you might as well just learn some jokes yourself lol[/QUOTE] Honestly I think this might just be a "where you live" type deal. Most of my "what people think" bias comes from college campuses, which are rife with people who're just fine with this kind of stuff.

[QUOTE=Fudgeblood;50078367]2 edgy, but you'd probably rake in all the tumblr/instagram likes if you copped it [editline]6th April 2016[/editline] you could always just hunt around for some [B]old Raf Simons tees[/B] if you want a similar style[/QUOTE] Believe me, If I had money I would.

y'all talking about edgy clothes? [img]http://i.imgur.com/BOr89Qg.jpg?1[/img] i copped this souvenir jacket recently lmao i think it's cool though

When you allocate a lot of your wardrobe to tacky shit, you just become that "l0lso randum and quirkster!11" dude. An olive bomber, black jeans, white sneaks, and [URL="https://www.juniqe.com/all-over-print-t-shirt-1013051.html"]this shirt[/URL], can be a cohesive streetwear fit. But I will always think that subtler patterns are much more mature and will be appreciated by other people, and that larger prints just scream "don't know how to dress" to me. Gitman Vintage (I know they're expensive, just using them as an example) does patterns right. Subtle and unique, while also being in good taste.

branding is stupid

I'm fine with subtle branding if its to show off a brand which is well known (timberlands) but this kind of stuff is silly. [img_thumb]https://asset2.surfcdn.com/oakley-t-shirts-oakley-block-it-t-shirt-heather-grey.jpg?w=1200&h=1200&r=4&q=80&o=7ztcnPJ1bPK7c9DQKtOznDwknmUj&V=J1sL[/img_thumb]
