Fix Up! Look Sharp V3: Crazy Hipsters Edition - General

[img]http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lc53chOX7d1qdorp8o3_400.png[/img] Just bought a pair of these chinos off topman for like 28 pounds, which is a steal considering they go for $100 here in Australia. [QUOTE=Otsegolation;28311315]How many people here can keep clothes for years, if they aren't outgrown or damaged?[/QUOTE] A t-shirt can last maybe a year, bit more if its nice, button up shirts can last longer, especially if its a formal shirt or something. Jeans can last years and years if you take care of them and you like the faded look.

I wear sweaters. Pretty much just sweaters. The more Cosby the sweater, the more I wear it. I sometimes bring a pack with eight or nine sweaters in it with me to work so that I can wear a different sweater for every hour I'm on duty. Some people question my sense of fashion, but I think that most non-affliction-shirt-wearing folk would agree that a nice knit sweater is a fun and unique way to look like a convicted sex offender. As you can imagine, this is a great icebreaker! Person 1: [i]"Hey man, you wouldn't happen to be a convicted sex offender, would you?"[/i] Person 2: [i]"Actually, no, but I can see why you might think that given my sweater! It's good to see that you're staying on your toes!"[/i] There you go, a life-long friend formed simply because you wore a nice sweater to the bus stop!

If anyone gets the Van slip ons, they're nice and comfy but very bad for your feet. That's why after a bit i decided to switch to adidas trainers.

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;28311242]Depends on the texture of the jeans and how they look like the stitching and such. Is the red shirt a plain red color? And what would the vans look like? this post needs more information or pictures. Red and black do look good together on certain people.[/QUOTE] sure [media]http://www.murdok.com.au/store/avactis-images/vans_era_black.jpg[/media] ^^^ my shoes jeans and shirt are a bit tight fitting and i'm normal weight. the shirt has some black west 49 art-label-thing which takes up most of the front

[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;28311594]:v: Wearing a V-neck sweater over a collared shirt is actually quite stylish.[/QUOTE] Argyle sweaters seem to be making a random comeback as of recent.

I wear blue jeans and navy blue topsider sperry's everyday. I don't care what shirt I wear, but I usually wear a polo (I only have 2), a brown thermal, a blue t-shirt with a hard rock cafe graphic, or a v-neck. Sometimes I put red and white flannels on, sometimes black and white. Do I have a good fashion sense.

[QUOTE=Robert Kubica;28311615]Argyle sweaters seem to be making a random comeback as of recent.[/QUOTE] Also true.

It's excellent aswell. They're a UK outfitter. They might be in other places aswell. I just know they're not in the US.

[QUOTE=Robert Kubica;28311701]If you live in Asia: theres a product line over there from /Bench called FiX. It's excellent aswell.[/QUOTE] I live in the US but thanks for the heads-up. I went to look at their site but it's pretty much broken.

I saw them in Asia only. I haven't seen them anywhere on the West Coast. Apparently there's a "Bench." that's in the UK and it's the same thing as "Bench/" in Asia and the Asian one which claims to be from HK is from the UK. I'm so fucking confused.

I was able to find some really nice Blue Suede Shoes online for like 40$, and must I say they look really nice. I have gotten many many compliments on them. They can make you look very classy.

[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;28311442]-Graphic Tees: These can be ok, if and only if their designs are sparing, and the shirts are nice in and of themselves, and fit you.

[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;28310762]I'm not one for fashion, but googling "flat-brimmed" on images gave these results.

Coincidence? I think not.[/QUOTE] Wear a flat-bill slightly bent and not tilted or propped, like in the Bronx.

i just wanna add - what should i be doing for hair? i've got a squarish kind of heart shaped face if that helps. so far i've been using kind of a bieber-cut (just a bit longer).

[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;28312361]I mean...I personally don't like dusty lumber. Sorry. :frown:[/QUOTE] Lol that's fine, it doesn't exactly suit everyones style but I don't actually wear DL shirts all the time either, I'm just saying that example was terrible.

[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;28311440]I know what style is, I like slick leather jackets[/QUOTE] It all makes sense now.

[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;28312361]I mean...I personally don't like dusty lumber. Sorry. :frown:[/QUOTE] The bracelet is the only thing I wear from them, the graphics are too big.

[QUOTE=Esteam;28312639]The bracelet is the only thing I wear from them, the graphics are too big.[/QUOTE] Exactly, I like the bear one but it seems overbearing. (Pun sorta-intended) [QUOTE=Meatpuppet;28312669]anyone[/QUOTE] wear what you like

[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;28312669]anyone[/QUOTE] you're okay sounds good to me

[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;28312669]anyone[/QUOTE] Except for the black and white flannel, yes, you have good fashion sense. There's a difference between dressing fashionably and dressiong stylishly. Dress to what suits you, what makes you look good and complements your figure and looks, you dont have to follow the latest trends to look good, because if you dress to suit you, people will notice.
