Where would you get fashion cues if SF didn't exist?

Some on here e.g. Phat Guido, GetSmart, have an innate sense of style. Most, such as myself, don't.

In the recent thread "What did you start wearing/buying because of SF?"

http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=72849

and, I'm sure, many others like it in the past, many people have pointed out the influence of this forum on their style of dress. If this forum ceased to exist *knocks on wood* what would you use to continue your sartorial journey?

I would dress like a tool.

For real, it isn't that SF told me how to dress, but because of SF I've discovered so many different brands, ideas, etc.

I have to say that Style Forum hasn't made that big a difference in my dress. I dress essentially the same way I did four years ago when I joined. Not that some ideas from here haven't been incorporated, mind you, just not enough to be very notable.

I come here for the discussion really.

Too painful to think about, it was bad.
