why is the fashion scene so shit nowadays
everyone dresses like the same plaid shirt hipster or streetwear hypebeast to look trendy. the nextlvl ones are costumey and unwearable like gothninja and techwear.
you can't even simply dress like a rich douchebag because even hipsters jumped on that with menswear and cheap knockoffs on HM and Zara.
normcore had some promise but it's essentially just the same shit with a 90s piece item.
and everyone and their dog is wearing a HY. what's a guy to do?

>>2344I think the main problem is that there is no masculine clothing anymore. There is no "tough fashion" anymore. I think it's because we have less of a 90s revival and more of a 60s revival.
Let me explain: Back in the day, we had lots of subcultures that had to project a tough, masculine feeling: In the 50s, you had the greasers. In the 70s, you had the beginning of punk and metal. In the 80s, you had metalheads. In the 90s, grunge. In the 2000s, hip hop and br00tal kidz.
Note that the 60s aren't mentioned, because 60 subculture was hippies, and they didn't want to look tough.
In essence, in the 60s, we had the same as now: Everybody wanting to look nice, nobody wanting to look tough. Which results in fashion that seems philistine and harmless on one side and geeky and feminine on the other. In case you didn't notice: We also don't have subcultures anymore, everyone is a "light hipster", so to say. Nobody wants to be edgy, everybody wants to fit in. Harmless, boring.
That's why normcore made such huge wave. You looked like a bum, yeah, but like a male bum. Like someone who didn't fit in -something that is unheard of today.
So yeah, guess we have to wait for the next decade or at least till 2016 or so, when people feel like rebelling again. The way things are now even Emos were tougher.

>>2385To add to this:
I think one of the reasons for this is this SJW shit. I don't want to get political, it's just an observation of how pop culture and youth self-image have changed.
I'm in my 30s. Back when I was young, being accepted by parents, the government, mainstream society would have been a social death sentence. Being accepted as normal would have been the last thing anyone would have wanted. Being cool means being somewhat abnormal, somewhat uncommon after all.
Compare to today, where people ACTIVELY FIGHT for being accepted by the mainstream. This is poison for coolness. This kills the subculture, and it kills the fashion.

>>2385I think a more rugged look for men without looking too hipstery works. You have to have a frame for it though, if you're 5'9 and weigh 112lbs and wear wood green pants with a chambray shirt and some quality boots you look like a fag and probably have a Maclamore haircut.
If you have a more masculine body and dress like a guy in a wrangler add you'll have a more traditional casual men look.
The biggest issue is people dress for who they want to be and it's very transparent and it comes off as trying too hard. find a look that you're comfortable with that nets you compliments. If you dress like everybody else you're essentially a mindless dullard who can't dress themselves. Go buy tapout gear and jerk off to UFC videos.

>>2446I think Wrangler ads actually would work (you'd have to get fit and probably be able to grow a pretty decent beard). The thing is it's basically exaggerated blue collar clothing from the 60s. Denim short, beat up jeans, work boots. You can use that with a shit ton of stuff. Get a good amount of denim and warm flannel shirts, usually subdued colors for the flannel not hipster purple or anything. Jeans are a must but nice black chinos or something might be good for a dressier look. I'd get a pea coat, probably vintage?, and wear that over it. probably some type of buttoned sweater under it in subdued colors. Dress like a fashionable dock worker I guess?

>>2550Oh and work boots obviously. You might look like a hipster but I can see that being a good look. Great for the winter too. I'd say light sweater and single color t-shirts for the summer probably with darker tennis shoes or something.

I think simple stuff (but with good fit) works best. black or white t-shirts, jeans, work boots. Crewneck sweaters or phat cardigans on top when it's cold, etc.
I should start working out.

Also, the internet. Everyones online now and they just copy what everyone else is doing instead of trying to create a look for themselves.
I'm predicting a massive culture shift to the right. Everyones getting sick of SJW and their bullshit. Even liberals are beginning to stand up and speak out against them, which isn't a good sign. A cultural war is going to happen in this country as the lost, disenfranchised will seek a resurgence into manliness without the faggotry.

The best way to look /fa/ is to be confident in your fit. If you're slightly chubby, muscular, even downright fat, just don't show any weakness. Walk strongly, stand strongly, just show nothing but confidence and dress nice.

That's actually the best /fa/ thread I've ever seen.
It's exactly what I'm searching off when dressing, the same observation about the current trend. It's like everyone, girls and men, are wearing the exact same cloths.
Just a tip: Don't buy logger boots (the heel stops you from running), nor timberland (so much girl wearing them). I actually don't even know what brand to buy from. If you have a shit tone of money, go for wesco boots.
Do you have any exemple on how to wear peacoat? I don't want to look like a faggot.
Moreover, I think it's important to add, that to look "like a man", "tough", you first have to act, and get fit as a man… If you look like a skinny bitch, then that's retarded.
There is a shit tone of people around me wearing bombers, with skinny jeans. They just look like faggots.

It's a tough world to fit in. Fuck thick frame glasses and fuck bows.
Get you a bandana and some reasonable ass coat that says, "I've been there." Wear jeans that don't tell the world you skip leg day. Wear shoes you can get dirty or run away from bad guys in, preferably something that can protect you from a snek bite. Wear any shirt you want, but it's gotta have sleeves of some sort - unless you're a pro basketball player, sling drugs, or drink beer on the sofa all day to your disability checks.
