beginner needs a new look - Page 2

It sounds like you're overly concerned about fitting in. If that's the case, then you've likely come to wrong place! Try carefully observing what you see your peer group wearing and then compare it to the fit pics that are celebrated in the WAYWT thread. I'll bet your peer group dresses in a manner totally at odds with this forum's opinions. So expecting this forum to teach you how to fit in and attract cute girls via your clothing is likely pointless. If you feel boots may make you look "gay", then I would argue you are likely reflecting the attitudes of your peer group. Where else would this opinion have likely come from? If you feel this way, then it is likely others in your group do too. Thus listening to advice here will only push you further away from the attitudes of your peers. And I do understand why you would fear that boots make you look "gay", even if I don't personally identify with the sentiment. Try discussing fashion with people both in and outside of your peer group and you will learn a lot about the attitudes of different groups. Yet someone will invariably post on here "Boots gay!? WTF are you talking about?!?" It's as if they live in an insulated world whereby they don't spend any time questioning and examining the attitudes of their own group vs. other groups. Rather, they act like sponges taking in the attitudes surrounding them, and will then defend those attitudes as if they were the truth. This forum provides steady supply of solvent for the sponge.

i'd worry less about style, and more about swag.

clothes play a part in that, but maybe not how you're thinking. maybe wait til you get there, and check out what the scene is. what you like is bound to change. go with what you like, not what you think other people will like.

i really don't understand the problem with chucks. i wore them at varsity, and i wore RM Williams boots as well. Neither worked for me...

jesus christ shut up

leaving aside the shut-up comments (unless you want to dress like uncontrol), i really wouldn't worry about it that much. wear what you like.

Here are my suggestions for inspiration:

See Daniel Craig's style in Casino Royale, or Russell Wong in Romeo Must Die. Their styles are understated and leaning on classic, sleek but manly (and not 'nice guy'-ish). You can base your look off of them and tweak things to fit your environment.

you're in england right? from the picture you posted, you would very much like all saints spitalfield as a retail outlet. Just don't buy their leather jackets or shoes and don't pay retail

Go buy some tampons, seems like you need them.

Lol, this and Asos Black and some of the Topman stuff. Wait for 50-70% off though

yah, you and every other bloke that gets into "style."


anyways, I think this fits the bill perfectly.

You should probably avoid wearing pants too, they might make you look ghey.

have a look at the stuff here.. http://www.oipolloi.com/ good luck!

Yo this is really true dude, I was thinking about it, and do you know how many gay people and sometimes girls wear pants, a lot of them man, fuck

LOL
