Post a pic of yourself

did you come from /a/?

>>604199

Yes I did. I've only lurked here for a short time, but I've read on here that a blazer and a graphic tee are a good combo. Should I dress like that?

Well you tried i guess

>>604213
Not OP.

>>604199
I don't really post on 4chan very often, especially the last few days because of all the AIDS. I tend to stick to iichan or other not-so-anonymous forums.

OP here,
here is an example of fashions I think I could pull off.

Bummish works on some guys. Post a pic so we can best choose a style for you. Just kidding, /fa/ only has one male style. Peacoats and 511's.

ah, this makes me want to do otaku makeovers and then send them of into society to make friends. omg realty tv show idea!

>>604236
I only have pictures from my chest up, and knowing my face won't help you post good fashion. Just know that I have long curly hair, about 5'5", and skinny (around 125 pounds).

>>604230
That's it then. You already have a good idea of what you'd like to look like. So go into stores and start looking for the clothes you want. Be patient and try on everything for fit.

>>604254
But I don't really know where to shop. That picture is from Urban Outfitters (which seems nice, but also has a pretty high fail rate). All there is in my town are these trendy places with huge logos on everything and that's not my cup of tea. I often end up going to second-hand stores like Goodwill because at least I don't know what to expect and there are rare finds.

>>604244
We already have that. It's called "queer eye for the straight guy".

>>604385
that's not for otaku though. it's for loser males who don't care about fashion but have a wife and friends. and they're not that socially awkward.

otaku is otaku. queer eye is not for otaku.

>>604314
bro you're killing me here. It sounds like you can't afford anything better than H&M (which isn't bad at all). You've got the right idea in avoiding shit with logos plastered over everything, but you need to go into all the stores you can find that look promising and browse around. Buying shit online is difficult and you'll very likely end up with terrible fits and not what you wanted. Check out big department stores like the Bay or something and look at the men's section. It sounds like you want to dress more maturely so pick up nice buttons up from there. For jeans, look at APC, and Levis. For shoes, go to shoe stores and pick up nice plain dressy shoes.

Here are your cardinal rules:
1. Everything must fit you perfectly. This cannot be understated.
2. Avoid colors until you've gotten the basics down. Get black, white, blue, greys, they'll all go nicely together and you can learn how to pair them all without too much pain.
3. You get what you pay for. The less you spend, generally, the faster the clothes will wear and break down.
4. Less is more when it comes to details. The more you have going on, the more likely it is that you're failing at pulling off the look. If you can get plain clothes without any detailing on them that fit you well and are constructed properly, you win at the game. The way I see I see it, those who have a lot going on are obnoxiously drawing attention to themselves. If you can pull off a cool, understated, and tasteful look, you come off as comfortable and self-confident. Leave the gold nike dunks and white skytops for the brahs, brah.

5. Which brings me to my next point. Shoes are so important. They can make or break the whole outfit. Black leather boots or a pair of dress shoes that are properly maintained and kept up will class up almost any outfit.
6. Final rule is dress to impress. Where guys often fail is fearing coming off as 'too formal'. This is really a rule that you have to forget. In general, men's fashion has slid ass backwards into slovenly exercise/sleeping atire and terrible hygiene. Do NOT be afraid of tucking in your shirt (when appropriate), shaving everyday, taking regular showers, brushing your teeth, and applying deodorant. PLEASE do not half-ass your look. You're 20 now so get rid of the hoodies. Nothing is worse than seeing some pudgy 20-something guy wearing an ill-fitting blazer with a hoodie underneath it. If you're going to dress like a man, then that means no more hoodies, skinny jeans, keffiyehs, etc.

I hope this helps.

Skinny jeans are good until you're 30 if you're not fat. Which you inevitably are.

>>604514
That's just, like, your opinion brah.

Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate it. I like the outfit of the guy holding the camera, minus the boots... perhaps some super plain low-tops would work better. Regardless, I think I would look really good in that.

>>604514

He said he was 125 pounds. That's not fat dude, even if you're five feet that's around normal weight.

Here's my top 10 essentials for young men. Feel free to skip directly to number 5 and build a solid basic wardrobe from there.

1. Two-button slim fit suit (black, grey, navy)
2. Silk ties (black, grey, blue)
3. Oxford shoes (black, dark brown)
4. Chelsea boots (black, dark brown)
5. Button-up shirts (white, pale blue)
6. Plain t-shirts (white, grey, black, crew-neck or v-neck)
7. Fitted jeans (dark indigo, black, grey)
8. Canvas lace-up plimsoll sneakers (white, black)
9. Sweaters, cardigans (grey, black)
10. Wool coat (black, grey, brown)

Remember, everything must be properly fitted and you should generally start out with neutrals (black, grey, white) and earth tones (navy, burgundy, brown, forest green and maybe mustard).

Pic related, it's the obligatory Ryan Taylor fit.

Hey brah, I'm tired of all of these advice threads for young 20'ish males who want to dress more maturely. I'm collecting your list and adding it to my text file where I'm collecting all of this advice. We need some SOLID copypasta up in this joint so we can help those who want to be helped.

No, but srsly, I also keep my lists and pasta saved and updated. It's not like I retype it everytime, unless someone asks something very specific.
