Okay, I get it. Are there any suggestions you can give that already haven't been stated? ANYTHING would help a lot.

If he were trolling, there's a good chance that he would've been arguing about how awesome his **** was instead of taking advice and thanking people. Otherwise, it's not very effective trolling, now is it?

Then why don't you take a nap instead of posting? If he is a troll, he has a non-troll relative that already posts here (LooseChange), but I am sure you knew that. Maybe it is an entire extended family of trolls? If we get any more tall, angry asians posting WAYWT, I am taking it to Transparent Moderation.

i thought i could remain unregistered until i saw this post.

how old are you? If you are still under 16 17 years old, I don't recommend you going crazy clothes shopping/makeover now...You might grow a few sizes and not being able to fit into those expensive jeans/shirts that you bought!

i went to a catholic school too, in scarborough ontario in fact. It's pretty ghetto and whenever it's non-uniform day, I can see every single guy trying to look cool...

and the thing is, your style may just change as your grow older into the next "stage" in life. I was satisfied with my semi-baggy jeans shirts and super-duper cool jordans when i was back in high school, but after i got into university i switched into more....slim straight fitted kinda look (didn't know i could pull it off but i guess i could?)

anyway, these are my "suggestions." let the pros help you.

and i dont like your socks xD

This is sage advice. A surcingle or ribbon belt would also be appropriate.

I'm not looking for school attire, it's an absolute dress code which means it's all about conformity. I usually break dress code with wearing a different jacket, that's all I can really get away with though. Will look into the belt though! Any kind of belt is allowed, as long as it's dominantly black. I'm looking for what I can wear outside of school. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the valuable experience haha. I will be looking for new socks next time I go shopping. Im 15 at the moment and I was about to save up for those expensive jeans when I started work, I'll hold off on that for now. About the semi-baggy jeans, shirts and cool jordans, that's what I usually do now. Thanks again! Someone that knows what's going on with me hehe.

I was about to give the same suggestion myself. If you really want some slim fitted jeans, there are plenty out there in the lower cost range (American Eagle, Gap, etc.). You can get an idea of how it looks on you and decide if you like it or not, and if you grow too big for them it's not a big deal. As for the socks, I agree with losing them. I'd replace them with some "no-show" black socks. Black is just less distracting for me. Don't try to force too many accessories like the bandana and the lanyard. It's unnecessary and tacky in most cases, and makes it look like you're trying too hard. Embrace simplicity. And no offense, but get a haircut. You've got this caveman look going on and it's not working for me.

If you want slim fitting pants in the lower cost range, don't go to gap or american eagle...get some Levi 514s or 511s. You're much better off

Give it up early while you can still chalk it up to a youthful mistake.

+ 1000 No one will EVER mistake you for a gun thug so don't bother.
Plus who the hell wants to be "hard" anyway. Kick back, rock the good Catholic education
and someday you can be a real thug and work on wall street.

Haha I'm not going for the gun thug look. I'm always trying to prioritize education over everything else, I'm getting pretty good grades right now so it seems to be working. Wall street haha I'm going to a tech school, more like some cool lab with cool stuff in it!

Thanks guys. I usually don't go for jeans, I usually go for the patterned shorts. It's only occasional that I do long pants.

Will do about the socks. I already know about the haircut and I've been thinking about that lately. It's just that I really don't know where to start. I tried spiking my hair before, only to find that my hair is MUCH too thick for that. I'll have to get some really high quality stuff to pull it off. On a separate note, if I cut my hair short, it naturally spikes up so I'm thinking about doing just that.
