uggs and moon boots are back
cropped puffers are here to stay if global warming 
Paraboots better stay hot, or a lot of us will be 
Shoes will continue to be a constantly worn fashion item.
actually, nothing is hot in the winter because it's cold outside š¤
I also would like to assume that pants will still be very much in style, as so will hoodies and t-shirts, but that one is a bit of a bold reach
It feels like more gorpy-techy stuff and a bit away from ivy/prep stuff. But that might just be my own journey and not an overall trend
skinny jeans/chinos are going to come back in, just as I've pretty much updated my wardrobe
hoodies aren't a bold reach
you never know, people might stop wearing hoodies, t-shirts and pants, you never know these days
I know that this won't happen in the near future
I think michaels have kinda reached critical mass. Others like chambords are getting more traction tho
let me call it right now by saying I think t-shirts and pants are on a decline until they are no longer in fashion
why don't y'all shit post in general?
I'm planning on purchasing my first big wool coat this winter. might make a thread in q&a for some recs at some point
I need leg warmers to stay at least a little in for the next couple years
how we feeling about bomber jackets these days? I wore the fuck out of mine last winter and I'm kinda thinking I'll do the same this year
been fun to style it in a way that doesn't scream 2016 hypebeast
Do we see loafers on the decline or are they just here to stay?
i still love my cropped and oversized ones
We bringing the fishtail parka back
Just copped a big wool coat, cannot wait to wear it
I never did find one I liked..
I miss 2016
Loafers are too slutty for the winter
But I also am looking for a big wool coat
This is a side note, I will soon be selling a big alpaca coat
timbs all winter!!!
I was actually looking at timbs field boots šš
Paint them black for weddings!
Sheāll never know youāre short
I want a good pair of hiking boots for winter
I kinda wanna get some blunnies for the winter but I'm also trying really hard not to buy stuff
Something like the classic danners but no logo
Unfort I have way too many shoes to justify buying timbs
I think ALD styling is gonna go hard this winter
ALD has a chokehold on too many people that are "into fashion"
I think this is the last season for ALD tbh
Hot:
BIG COAT - been hot for a couple years and I think it's far from being on the decline
Pants layering
Chonky sweaters and turtlenecks
Gonna join the picket line outside the ALD store. Still think itās gonna a massive chokehold. I do think though that becoming popular is gonna drive people to experiment more so o think experimenting with clothes is gonna be even bigger this winter š
Layering this winter gonna go crazy even on the west coast
I'm still a bit bearish on pants layering
you underestimate MFAD being a major driver of fashion. watch this space
I think we just gotta do it right
Only pants layering Iām doing is thermals
Waffle knit leggings or whatever theyāre called should come back. Shout out fear of god
Long Johnsš„
I also think it just isn't cold enough where I'm at for me to ever consider it. I can't walk around with 2 pants and sweaty balls and taint in these 0 degrees celsius winters
Oh yeah thermals thatās what theyāre called
puffy coats out puffy pants in
these are actually fire. what brand is this?
I saw a black puffy telfar bag the other day and thought it looked so good
this is some dropshipped junk but Mountain Hardwear makes them
the ghost whisperer ones are like ultralight backpacker / mountaineer pants, very gorpy
I have a cool pair of puffy pants I wish got more play but what with global warming and all
Thatās hard
PUFFY PANTS
love the paneling
Not exactly new, but i think unisex babushka/grandma style layering is hot, pushing some proportions so folks look simultaneously frumpy and sexy
I gotta get more anemic so I can pile on the layers
Fighting the Boston guy in shorts and a hoodie allegations
I can definitely see this happening
Also attempts to reach equalibrium of warmth by showing unseasonal skin while overbundling elsewhere
"leg sticking out of the covers for temperature control" but make it fashion
Would love to see many of yall incorporate something like these satin trim wool blanket cardigan from Molly Goddard
Was thinking this exactly
this is exactly why I love wearing shorts with hoodies
I like a chunky sweater and shorts fit
I wonder if you could go the other way with like a tank top and some wool flannel pants or something
I've actually never seen that be done. could be a good look
I was thinking of a wide neck sweater and a tank top underneath for the winter.
I canāt explain it but this is cooler in temperature than a t shirt with pants
Warm but also show some skin 
Hmmm it's the other way around for me
My legs almost never get cold so I can wear shorts and hoodie/sweater at lower temps than t-shirt and jeans
Legs are (usually) bulkier and hairier
A t shirt and jeans to me feels so dorky and I canāt explain why
Plus core temp etc
yeah same, hoodie shorts is warmer than T-shirt jeans
If my legs are covered my arms need to be mostly covered
What.
Tbh I donāt like tees 90% of the time..
And Iām not agreeing with the āt shirts are on their way outā
I just donāt like tees Iād rather wear a normal shirt
skirts are super hot this winter now everyone go buy one.
I'm pretty much at the point where I only wear a t if it's a plain white/cream t
I'm just vvv uninterested in graphics
I fuck with an old band/merch tee around the house though
I've been feeling vintage tees and certain graphic tees a lot more than plain tees lately
yeah and like old uni/athletic stuff I think is cool
Only if itās 100% cotton
I just find myself so limited by what I can do with an outfit if I'm having to make it work around whatever graphic I've got on
skill issue but w/e
Stretchy shirts are out
stretchy shirts been out?
Yeah I was saying in response to the athletic comment
Almost everything my college had was stretchy stuff š
I love graphic tees but they're DEFINITELY not as versatile as plain tees
I think it's a "skill ceiling" kinda deal. Plain white/cream shirts are versatile and usually look good and won't make or break a fit. A perfect graphic tee in the right fit, tho, will be 
in the way that a plain tee won't
And on the flip side a bad graphic tee will insta brick
in the way that a plain tee won't
And on the flip side a bad graphic tee will insta brickfor graphic tees, I mostly wear my own designs, braindead, vintage, or artist merch
I'm also so ocbd pilled rn
which I think is why I'm tee averse
I just like a lil collar peeking out
for the gym, I exclusively wear graphic tees with my friends on them
3 of them got married recently and I made their bachelor party tees and they're perfect for the gym
Iām a big graphic tee guy but I havenāt bought one in a bit
I need to get on this
no same! I haven't really found any I like in a while
Honestly I think I should lean into logo tees
Thereās an acne one from a few seasons ago that I fell in love with
I wanna make a logo tee for my brand, but it feels so boring š I just don't have fun making designs like that
I found this tee at the thrift recently and did a coffee dye on it which was pretty fun
Itās just kinda weird bc some people HATE logo tees
And Iām just apathetic
I was gonna say this earlier but logo and graphic tees can be a miss sometimes. I hate throwing on a cool t shirt just for it to be covered by a jacket
Ya same or feeling like I canāt button up because the graphic would be covered
having to constantly flutter my jacket to make sure everyone sees my unisphere logo on the tee
Suffer for fashion
Just stand there with your hands in your pocket š
He just like me
I think this is the closest I got to making a logo tee and it's not even a tee! (this isn't self promo because I'm not selling anything and won't be for at least another year)
I like it
Imagine being a walking billboard š¤£ free advertising šš
š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
the worst is when you see a sick graphic tee but then the cool graphic is on the back and the front is plain (or even worse has like a mini version of the cool graphic but on the pocket)
This is why I donāt fw brand tees only band and business tees
as a jacket-wearer, I HATE THIS
L
I actuallly have maison kitsune and opening ceremony logo tees
Itās funny
I wear those with climbing since everyone is looking at my back
@raisinpie why bait tho
I fw brand tees
Judging by all the Youths I saw in 2nd Street yesterday, I predict we are seeing the return of the long shirt with the cropped jacket this winter.
Iād rather rep a band or business like a cafe than just a brand
Or a business like the brand
Oh no not the scoop tees
porque no los dos
My billboard comment was a meme btw
Love the street styling boots on the ground approach. Like super long tees or just tees longer than the jacket
I don't like long tees
When youāre short all tees are long š
Oh theyāre back bb
Yet another reason I donāt like tees š
Yeah Iām into it. As long as the pants work
my torso is too long as is. I need high waisted pants and cropped tees to have normal human proportions 
I feel like they can work with the right silhouette. No more skinny jeans and long tees!
I only like long tees on @mewball
this is how all the boiler room merch they just put out is, like you already know how boring the front of this shirt is
Just buy online ceramics which is psychotic front and back
this is also why I love braindead tees
i also have a long ass torso fwiw but definitely have to be mindful of what im pairing em with
But you get that association
Unless youāre buying a collab
Love brain dead so much
I want an Aries tee
wdym
Mushroom LSD trust fund baby who pretends to be super down to earth
At least here in the bay
that's everyone in the bay
I would agree unless youāre going for like a pretty specific silhouette. But lately Iāve mostly been seeing long tees with baggier jeans and Iām a fan
The other half is crypto AI bro
I just bought the acne shirt yall btw
Lmao
my hoodie has sick graphicsā¦on the inside of the hoodie l 
idc i wear an oc longsleeve all the time it's great
only have of that sentence applies to me and it's the good half
I wanted an OC OPN collab or one of their A24 collabs but I couldnāt justify the price š¦
Yeah sounds like a lean more towards a budget Rick aesthetic
dude I wanted the opn collab so bad šit's just way too expensive especially with exchange rate
i copped the opn collab i hope it comes soon ish
I'm very happy with my OC shirt
So cute
I have a few OC things in a box at my parents, I should sell them..
Got the uncut gems sweatshirt in there
thought i liked them more than i actually do. looked at mine this year and feel very uninspired about it. maybe it's just time to sell
I think we are gonna hit leather even harder this winter
But like big and bulky flight jackets. No matrix cosplays
I especially liked the original OPN collab
Have u seen good times
Or good time
With Robert Pattinson
great movie
Safdies really know how to make a thriller in pacing
I almost didnāt recognize rob in the movie
When i was in boston like every fourth woman i saw was wearing a B-3 style shearling leather jacket its definitely gaining traction if not already well established
I live on a college campus and Iāve been seeing a bunch more sweater vests around on the undergrads this year.
Good graphic tee is >>>>>>>> the best plain tee in existence
Iād rather have any one of my thrifted graphic tees than x merz tees
i like them a lot on other people but then i try one and i look terrible
Itās definitely one of those things you have to work around, like you canāt just have like 3 graphic tees in different colors and be like ābases coveredā
I was thinking an a-2 jacket but I like this trend too š
Finding a just right graphic tee is
I thought they were already on the decline based on recent drops not selling out, but went by the store yesterday and there was a 2.5 hour wait to get in so I guess its still going
But āflowers by Jennā is just perf
I have so many tees in white/off white with different graphics
Personally i think the b-3 is more visually interesting and definitely great if you live in a cold climate. I think the A-2 is a little more versatile tho
I actually really like plain tees if the drape is right and the color is somewhat unique/works with my other clothes,
but I love a knit tee with an interesting pattern knit into it.
very nice that one
I agree but o think they may be too warm. I had the same issue with those Canadian tanker jackets
never seen any tee worn like that tbh
i like
Got really confused for a second why Charlie looked so different 
Itās like gsh said, a plain tee can be a good element to a good fit, a good graphic can actually make the difference between something working or not working
This is one of my fav graphic tees that I never wear enough
Or making something great vs good
Shouldāve put my glasses on
ya if that was a plain t i don't think it would work
Def not
My personal fave has been this marble head sailing tee but i think joe cool might be taking its place as favorite
More elements = higher potential for good fit simple as
My A-2 deck is perfect for mild so cal winter i absolutely love it
Joe cool is so in the zeitgeist right now I love it
Nicely centered
Joe cool is so good
Graphic tee definitely the ultimate in horseshoe theory fashion
I love that it looks to he like a home made screen print too
Graphic tees are great but its always so hard finding one that is perfect, for me at least.
I used to wear one all the time when I was a kid and living down there i get it
i like grahpic tees but I still think a white tee clears š¤
Plain white tee is great in its versatility but it has no real visual interest. A fit with a plain white tee will always be upgraded by a good graphic tee imo
Sorry you feel that way
I managed to find one with a Naval air station North Island stencil on the back too its one of my favorite finds
So many bad graphics and bad tee shirts itās hard to find the right combo
Honestly I buy 99% on graphic
Do yāall usually get band tees off anywhere in particular (eBay etc)? I havenāt liked the ones Iāve seen at the few concerts I go to.
I wonāt get something if the fabric is like actively itchy
But I can make most sizes/cuts work I think
I'm not sure my wardrobe is in a place where i can really make one shine
who knows maybe i see one i love
I dont really buy many band tees anymore unless its a good graphic. I usually go for older ones on ebay though
idk itās kind of like saying jeans are better than chinos
doesnāt really make sense it just depends on the outfit
When I will save enough money to buy some Michaels it will be outdated š
next yearās just ribbed tank
Oxford Cloth Ribbed Tank
im already workin on it we gonna bring em back for sure
this time we doing wide fishtail fits
instead of like
skinny jeans+fish
That uniqlo eg parka looks really nice
Makes me want to get a m51
yeah the collab is good even if its tiny
Olive fishtail parka, black skinny jeans, oreo flyknits š¤
Some things should stay dead
i still love 2 of the 3 š
We all love things that are bad for us
This brand I like for a huge boiled wool raglan coat last year and now I can't even find a trace of them, did that look vanish
And now I see donegal tweed/wool hyped for everything, it looks nice but why didn't I see it before?
Frequency illusion
Frequency illusion, also known as the BaaderāMeinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias referring to the tendency to notice something more often after noticing it for the first time, leading to the belief that it has an increased frequency of occurrence. The illusion is a result of increased awareness of a phrase, idea, or object ...
I've seen donegal and tweed for years
Damn, true.
But, I am sure I am seeing it for the first time from brands I was watching
As for the disappearing brand lol idk
The FrizmWORKS ones looks p sweet
Maybe you just need to think outside the box a little. Ask yourself if chaps are right for you
Also okay I'm hedging my bets on legwarmers making a comeback in 2024
This will be an extension of fashionside gorpcore getting really into gaiters. Then all the cozy folks will get into knitted leg warmers, and some folks will split off into a hotly debated spats revival movement
Iāll start leather gaiters
leg warmers been back
Thank goodness
no I don't think I will
Phoebe philo literally made pants that look like these itās so in
About time...
